Template:Expert needed/doc

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 assigns an article to specific subcategories of Category:Articles needing expert attention, depending on the topic of the article. These subcategories are named after WikiProjects. Find at least one appropriate subcategory when adding this template! Category:Articles needing unspecified expert attention should always remain empty.

Anyone placing this statement must state why an expert is needed, by using either the reason or talk (to link to a talk page section) parameter. If you place this template without this, any editor may immediately remove it without explanation. Uses of this template with neither a reason or talk parameter are categorized in Category:Articles needing expert attention with no reason or talk parameter

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 Peer review.
 * Take questions to relevant content-related Noticeboards, such as the Reliable sources/Noticeboard for questions about whether sources are reliable for the statements they support.
 * Start a Request for comment.
 * Ask for help at the Village pump (miscellaneous).

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".
 * 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 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.

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.
