 | This article needs attention from an expert on the subject. Please help recruit one or improve this article yourself. See the talk page for details. Please consider using {{Expert-subject}} to associate this request with a WikiProject. |
 | Notes:

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 Wikipedia:Peer review.
- Take questions to relevant content-related Wikipedia:Noticeboards, such as the Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Noticeboard for questions about whether sources are reliable for the statements they support.
- Start a Wikipedia:Request for comment.
- Ask for help at the Wikipedia:Village pump (miscellaneous).
How to use
{{Expert needed|WikiProject|talk=|reason=|date=}}
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.
Examples
{{Expert needed|technology|documentation|talk=Section title goes here|reason=reason goes here|date=Month Year}}
| This documentation needs attention from an expert in technology. The specific problem is: reason goes here. See the talk page for details. (November 2024) |
{{Expert needed|technology|ex2=science|ex3=math|talk=Section title goes here|reason=reason goes here|date=Month Year}}
| This article needs attention from an expert in technology, science or math. The specific problem is: reason goes here. See the talk page for details. (November 2024) |
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.
Notes
- This template is a self-reference, and should not be substituted.
- See: WikiProject Council/Directory for a complete list of WikiProjects.
- Where the category name does not match the WikiProject name, including plural words or capitalisation, use the #switch parameter at Template:Expert needed/catcheck. E.g. for WP:WikiProject Radio Stations, the corresponding category is Category:Radio station articles needing expert attention.
