Template:Elucidate/doc

Use this template in the body of an article as a request for other editors to add further explanation to text that assumes expert understanding of a subject. When the problem is not with the level of information given, but simply with the wording, one may use clarify instead. For dealing with dubious information, please use one of the following: citation needed, verify source, dubious or disputed-inline. This template is a self-reference and so is part of the CorporisPublica project rather than the encyclopedic content.

Usage
This is an in-line template, place the template immediately after the material in question, as one would do with a footnote. For example:



The above text will cause the tag to appear inline. This tag is linked to CorporisPublica:Please clarify for further information.

Categorisation
Adding this template to an article will automatically place the article into Category: CorporisPublica articles needing clarification.

Parameters
This template allows an optional date parameter that records when the tag was added.
 * date:

One can specify the date manually. For example, to date the tag in the current month, enter.

Because it may not be immediately apparent to other editors what about the tagged passage is in need of further explanation, it is generally helpful to add a brief reason for the tag: (this is preferable to using an HTML   after the tag, as it is more tidy to keep all of the -related code inside the template). The reason parameter is not displayed or otherwise acted upon by the template; it is simply present in the source code for editors' benefit. If the explanation would be lengthy, use the article's talk page.
