Template Documentation for Accuracy

This page is a template and should only be used as part of other articles. For more information, read Help:Template.

Please do not experiment with this template; you could ruin all pages using this template. If you want to edit this template, copy the text to Template:Sandbox, edit and test it there, and copy it back when it works.

Feel free to voice your opinion regarding this template.

This "accuracy dispute" flag template must be used to indicate inaccurate content.

Usage

This template should be added at the beginning of articles or sections suspected of incorrect, misleading, or confusing content. Ensure to cite specific concerns with the first argument and possibly also on the flagged article's discussion page.

{{Accuracy|reason}}

You can override the default discussion page with a second optional argument:

{{Accuracy|reason|Talk:Alternative Page}}

Alternatively you can point to a specific section in the default talk page with the named section parameter:

{{Accuracy|reason|section=Section name}}

Flagged pages can be found in Special:WhatLinksHere/Template:Accuracy or in Category:Pages or sections flagged with Template:Accuracy. If knowledgeable in a subject, users are encouraged to participate to resolve the issue. The {{Accuracy}} flag should be removed after verification/correction/removal of disputed facts.

Note: The talk page is linked through an external link: this is to avoid polluting Special:WantedPages when the talk page does not exist.

Examples

{{Accuracy|Briefly provide a note on what is not correct. Feel free to help us make an up-to-date version.}}

will produce:

The factual accuracy of this article or section is disputed.

Reason:Briefly provide a note on what is not correct. Feel free to help us make an up-to-date version. (Discuss)
