Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

This template identifies a Wikipedia article where one or more sections has content whose accuracy or factual nature is in dispute.

This template is a self-reference.
Please do not subst: this template.

Usage[edit]

First add a new section to the article's talk page outlining your concerns, then add {{Disputed section}} to the top of the disputed section in the main article. To include a link from the "disputed section" header to the proper section of the talk page, use {{Disputed section|talk page section name}}. Articles using this template as shown above are placed into Category:Accuracy disputes.

To make the message box small and floated to the left, set the "small" parameter to "left". Note that in this case, a shorter message will be displayed that doesn't include a link to the talk page. Example:

Template:

{{Disputed section|small=left}}

Output:

Date[edit]

This template can take an optional date parameter in the format {{Disputed section|date = <month> <year>}} or {{Disputed section|talk page section name|date = <month> <year>}}. If the date is not included it will probably be added later by a WP:BOT. Articles using this template with a date are added to Category:Accuracy disputes from <month> <year>.

Template:

{{Disputed section|date=May 2024}}

Output:

Category:

Category:Accuracy disputes from May 2024
