Template:Policycontroversy

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This page's designation as a policy or guideline is being reviewed for consensus, and may be controversial. The present language is likely to fluctuate, and should be considered provisional until the issues are resolved. Please see the relevant discussion on the talk page.

Optionally specify a talk page section: {{Policycontroversy|talk=Discussion}} will link "talk page" to Talk:PageName#Discussion.
If the tag applies strictly to a specific section of a policy or guideline, append the following parameter: section=yes

  • When adding this template, do not remove the policy or guideline tag, first because otherwise users cannot see what the dispute is about, and second because a dispute does not automatically revoke the policy or guideline. See WP:POL for details.
  • This template is only for ongoing, active disputes that are evidenced in talk page discussion. It is not intended for flagging a projectpage or section as vaguely controversial, nor for indicating a personal dislike of the document. There is no such thing as an indefinitely disputed policy or guideline.
  • For disputes about the wording of the policy or guideline (as opposed to the "designation", what this template says), use {{underdiscussion}} instead. Disagreement over the wording of a policy or guideline does not imply it is suddenly not a policy or guideline any more. See WP:POL for details.
  • 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.
