Template documentation
![](/images/thumb/4/4c/Template-info.svg/50px-Template-info.svg.png)
Use this template to dispute whether a page (or a section on a page) has properly been accorded policy or guideline status.
This template is only for ongoing, active disputes that are evidenced in talk page discussion. It is not intended for flagging a project page or section as vaguely controversial, nor for indicating a personal dislike of the document. There is no such thing as an indefinitely disputed policy or guideline. These tags should not be used as a badge of shame. If there is no active discussion, then the tag may be removed by any editor.
Usage
- Place {{Disputedtag}} at the top of the page or section that you intend to discuss.
- Optionally specify:
- Either, a talk page section:
{{Disputedtag|talk=Discussion}}
will link "talk page" to Talk:PageName#Discussion.
- Or, a full page-link: (usually to a centralized talk-page)
{{Disputedtag|talkpage=Talk:MyPage#Discussion}}
will link "talk page" to Talk:MyPage#Discussion.
- A short message about what to do instead -- for editors lacking time to analyze the current discussion:
msg=the default recommendation
- If the tag applies strictly to a specific section of a policy or guideline, append the following parameter:
section=yes
. This will cause the template to appear as:
- Either, a talk page section:
![]() |
The following section's wording or inclusion in this policy or guideline is disputed or under discussion. Please see the relevant talk page discussion for further information. |
- When adding this template, do not remove the policy or guideline tag, first because otherwise users cannot see what the dispute is about, and second because a dispute does not automatically revoke the policy or guideline.
