An "expansion" flag used to indicate incomplete articles.

Usage

This template should be added at the beginning of articles or sections lacking in detail. Ensure to cite specific concerns with the first argument and possibly also on the flagged article's discussion page.

{{Expansion|reason}}

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

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

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

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

Flagged pages can be found in Special:WhatLinksHere/Template:Expansion or in Category:Pages or sections flagged with Template:Expansion. If knowledgeable in a subject, users are encouraged to participate to expand the article or section and remove the {{Expansion}} flag when finished.

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

Example

{{Expansion|This is just a demonstration template.}}

This article or section needs expansion.

Reason: This is just a demonstration template. (Discuss in Template talk:Expansion)
