{{info|Notes:
 
* '''''Important:''''' When adding this template to an article, state the ''specific'' issue that you believe a subject-matter expert needs to address – not "the whole page in general".  This may be done using the {{para|reason}} parameter and/or on the article's talk page.
 
* An unexplained or trivial {{tl|expert needed}} tag can be and should be removed by any editor, and is usually replaced with {{tl|expert needed talk}} on the article's talk page if the reason for the request was clear but the issue is minor.
 
* Realistically, do not expect a response when posting this tag.  It is very rare for any subject-matter expert to respond as a result of seeing these tags. Your issue is far more likely to be addressed by one of the alternative methods listed in [[#When to use|When to use]].}}

__NOTOC__
 
  
This template flags an article for the badly-needed attention of an expert or experts in the subject(s) specified (please use {{tl|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 [[Wikipedia:WikiProject|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:
 
* Leave a note on the talk page of any relevant WikiProjects.
 
* Submit the article for [[Wikipedia:Peer review]].
 
* Take questions to relevant content-related [[Wikipedia:Noticeboards]], such as the [[Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Noticeboard]] for questions about whether sources are reliable for the statements they support.
 
* Start a [[Wikipedia:Request for comment]].
 
* Ask for help at the [[Wikipedia:Village pump (miscellaneous)]].
 
 
==How to use==
 
<pre>
 
{{Expert needed|WikiProject|talk=|reason=|date=}}
 
</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]].
