| 40px | This is a documentation subpage for Template:Expert needed. It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
This template flags an article for the attention of an expert in that subject. It 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:WikiProjects. Important: After adding this template to an article, please state on the article's talk page the issue that you think an expert needs to address. Unexplained expert tags may be simply removed.
Usage
- Add the name of WikiProject as the first parameter, e.g.,
{{expert-subject|Technology}}. - A second parameter may be used to override the text "article or section" with, for example, "section", "diagram" or "paragraph".
- If you have started a discussion on the article's talk page, you may link to that discussion with a third parameter, "
talk=", using the section title of the discussion. E.G.{{Expert-subject|Technology|documentation|talk=Section title goes here}}
This documentation needs attention from an expert in Technology. |
Followup
After adding this template, start a section on the article discussion page describing what you wish the expert to address. {{Expert-talk}} may be used for this purpose. If the issue is of some urgency, you could also post a notice at the WikiProject you included in the template.
Notes
- This template is a self-reference, and should not be substituted.
- A complete list of WikiProjects may be found here.

- Template:Expert-subject-multiple when more than one WikiProject may be able to help.
- Template:Technical (expert), also available as Template:Expert-make-accessible, can be used when the presentation of a topic appears more complicated than necessary, but you are not convinced that you understand the topic well enough to simplify the presentation yourself without "dumbing it down" (see WP:MTAA for further details on the accessibility/accuracy issue). It supports the same sub-categorization scheme as this template.
