:Add the name of WikiProject as the '''first parameter''', e.g., <code>{&#123;expert-subject|Critical Theory}}</code>.
 
;2
 
:A '''second parameter''' may be used to override the text "article or section" with, for example, "section", "diagram" or "paragraph". E.G. <code>{&#123;Expert-subject|Technology|documentation}}</code>
 
{{Expert-subject|Technology|documentation}}
 
  
After adding this template, start a section on the article discussion page describing what you wish the expert to address. {{tl|Expert-talk}} may be used for this purpose.

The template has the option of being assigned to a specific subcategory of [[:Category:Articles needing expert attention]], depending on the topic of the article. These subcategories are named after [[Wikipedia:WikiProject|WikiProjects]].
  
* This template was created to expand on the deprecated {{tl|expert}} template. See [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Expert Request Sorting]] for more info.

==When to use==
* This template will categorise tagged pages into subcategories of [[:Category:Pages needing expert attention]].

Use this tag when you have identified a ''specific'' issue that requires help from a [[subject-matter expert]] (not a generally knowledgeable Wikipedia editor).

</pre>
 +
 
 +
===Parameters===
 +
* The first unnamed parameter accepts the '''name of the WikiProject''' from [[:Category:Active WikiProjects|Active WikiProjects]]
 +
* A second ''optional'' unnamed parameter, may be used to override the default "article" text with, for example, "section", "diagram" or "paragraph".
 +
* '''ex2'''–'''ex5''': To add additional expert subjects, you can use these parameters to include more names of WikiProjects.
 +
* '''talk''': If you have started a discussion on the article's talk page, you may link to that discussion with {{para|talk}}, using the section title of the discussion.
 +
* '''reason''': You may use the {{para|reason}} parameter to provide a short explanation describing the issue directly within the template, instead of, or in addition to the talk parameter.
 +
:Add {{para|talk}}, {{para|reason}}, or both. Uses of this template with neither may be removed without further consideration.
 +
* '''date''': The date of adding the template may be used as the next parameter, in the form of ''Month Year''.
 +
 
 +
==Examples==
 +
<code><nowiki>{{</nowiki>Expert needed|technology|documentation|talk=Section title goes here|reason=reason goes here|date=Month Year}}</code>
 +
{{Expert needed|technology|documentation|talk=Section title goes here|reason=reason goes here|date={{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}}}

<code><nowiki>{{</nowiki>Expert needed|technology|ex2=science|ex3=math|talk=Section title goes here|reason=reason goes here|date=Month Year}}</code>
 +
{{Expert needed|technology|ex2=science|ex3=math|talk=Section title goes here|reason=reason goes here|date={{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}}}
 +
 
 +
==Follow up==
 +
When using this template, it is essential to provide an explanation using either the "reason" or the "talk" parameter. When adding a section on the talk page, you may use {{tl|expert needed talk}} for this purpose. If the issue is of some urgency, you may also post a notice at the WikiProject that was included in the template.

 +
==Notes==
 +
* This template is a [[Wikipedia:Avoid self-references|self-reference]], and should not be [[Wikipedia:Subst|substituted]].
 +
* See: [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Directory|WikiProject Council/Directory]] for a complete list of WikiProjects.
 +
* Where the category name does not match the WikiProject name, including plural words or capitalisation, use the #switch parameter at [[Template:Expert needed/catcheck]]. E.g. for [[WP:WikiProject Radio Stations]], the corresponding category is [[:Category:Radio station articles needing expert attention]].

This template flags an article for the badly-needed attention of an expert or experts in the subject(s) specified (please use {{Expert needed talk}} on the talk page for non-urgent requests).

The template has the option of being assigned to a specific subcategory of Category:Articles needing expert attention, depending on the topic of the article. These subcategories are named after WikiProjects.

When to use

Use this tag when you have identified a specific issue that requires help from a subject-matter expert (not a generally knowledgeable Wikipedia editor).

If you want help for most of the page, or if you want help soon, then try these much more effective options:

How to use

{{Expert needed|WikiProject|talk=|reason=|date=}}

Parameters

  • The first unnamed parameter accepts the name of the WikiProject from Active WikiProjects
  • A second optional unnamed parameter, may be used to override the default "article" text with, for example, "section", "diagram" or "paragraph".
  • ex2ex5: To add additional expert subjects, you can use these parameters to include more names of WikiProjects.
  • talk: If you have started a discussion on the article's talk page, you may link to that discussion with |talk=, using the section title of the discussion.
  • reason: You may use the |reason= parameter to provide a short explanation describing the issue directly within the template, instead of, or in addition to the talk parameter.
Add |talk=, |reason=, or both. Uses of this template with neither may be removed without further consideration.
  • date: The date of adding the template may be used as the next parameter, in the form of Month Year.

Examples

{{Expert needed|technology|documentation|talk=Section title goes here|reason=reason goes here|date=Month Year}}

{{Expert needed|technology|ex2=science|ex3=math|talk=Section title goes here|reason=reason goes here|date=Month Year}}

Follow up

When using this template, it is essential to provide an explanation using either the "reason" or the "talk" parameter. When adding a section on the talk page, you may use {{expert needed talk}} for this purpose. If the issue is of some urgency, you may also post a notice at the WikiProject that was included in the template.
