This is a documentation subpage for Template:Expert needed.
It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page.

This template flags an article for the attention of a specific subject expert category. This template is a refinement of the {{expert}} template, which is now deprecated. Unlike its predecessor, this template will automatically categorize the article needing expert attention in a subcategory of Category:Articles needing expert attention depending on the topic of the article. These subcategories are named after Wikipedia:WikiProjects. Important: After adding this template to an article, please state on the article's talk page the issue that you think an expert needs to address. Unexplained expert tags may be simply removed.

Usage

Add the name of WikiProject as the first parameter, e.g., {{expert-subject|Technology}}.
A second parameter may be used to override the text "article or section" with, for example, "section", "diagram" or "paragraph". E.G. {{Expert-subject|Technology|documentation}}

Followup

After adding this template, start a section on the article discussion page describing what you wish the expert to address. {{Expert-talk}} may be used for this purpose. If the issue is of some urgency, you could also post a notice at the WikiProject you included in the template.

Notes

Please do not subst: this template.
A complete list of WikiProjects may be found here.
