Template:Confusing

Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

This template categorises tagged articles into Category:Wiki articles needing clarification.
You can specify whether the template applies to an article (default) or section by adding |article or |section after the template's name. There is also the Template:Confusing section template for the sections.
Please use the "reason=" parameter to explain what is confusing. For example:

{{Confusing|reason=the furtlewangler is referred to in the plural but the diagram shows only one}}

Do not capitalize the beginning of the reason, since it is preceded by, "In particular, ". Another thing: do not add a full stop at the end of the reason because the template automatically puts a full stop in.

Please do not subst: this template.

{{Confusing|small=left|reason=the tensing of the article is ambiguous}} generates:
