 | This is a documentation subpage for Template:Synthesis. It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
Usage
editThe default words "article or section" and the topic are both replaceable: {{Synthesis|article}} produces:
 | This article possibly contains synthesis of material that does not verifiably mention or relate to the main topic. |
If the section of the talk page for discussing it is named, for example, "Synthesis debate", use the parameter |talksection= e.g. {{Synthesis|article}}. If no talksection parameter is used, the link will go to a talk page section named "Synthesis" if one exists, otherwise it will simply direct the reader to the talk page.
As the default topic is the article name, the topic parameter needs to be used to change the topic to reflect the section name when using the section parameter: {{Synthesis|section}} produces:
| This section possibly contains synthesis of material that does not verifiably mention or relate to the main topic. |
A date parameter can also be used to inform other editors of the time the tag has been in place: {{Synthesis|article}} produces:
| This article possibly contains synthesis of material that does not verifiably mention or relate to the main topic. (December 2024) |
This template will categorize articles into Category:Articles that may contain original research.
