When to use
- Use this template to dispute a guidance in an essay (or in a section on an essay)
- 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 page. 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.
How to use
- Place {{Disputed essay}} at the top of the page or section that you intend to discuss.
- Optionally specify:
- Either, a talk page section:
{{Disputed essay|talk=Discussion}}will link "talk page" to Talk:PageName#Discussion. - Or, a full page-link: (usually to a centralized talk-page)
{{Disputed essay|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 - Up to 5 Shortcut-links, as described for Template:Shortcut.
- 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:
 | This article's factual accuracy is disputed. |
Alternatives
- Many times, your concerns can be addressed through a normal discussion, without placing this tag on the page.
- If you disagree with a {{Historical}} tag, do not use this template; instead, advertise the page on e.g. WP:RFC and the village pump to get more people involved, so that it becomes active once more.
