Template:Confusing/doc

This is a documentation subpage for Template:Confusing.
It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page.

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.
