w>Voidxor: Update proper name of template following a page move by others.

2025-06-16T17:32:10Z

Update proper name of template following a page move by others.

New page

{{Documentation subpage}}

== Usage ==

See [[Template:Dubious/doc]].

== Parameters ==
* {{para|text}} text to mark as dubious.
* {{Para|1|{{var|Talk section name}}}} – the first field should point to the section name on the talk page which contains the discussion.
** If the section name contains an equal sign, use the following syntax: {{Tlx|Dubious|2=1=Does x = 5?}}.
** Other special characters used in section names (such as brackets, "[" and "]") ''may'' need to be [[Escape character|escaped]]. For example, the markup:
::: {{Tlx|Dubious span|K%5BX%5D is NOT integral|text{{=}}KX is clearly a whole number.}}
:: or, equivalently
::: {{Tlx|Dubious span|text{{=}}K[X] is clearly a whole number.|1{{=}}K%5BX%5D is NOT integral}}
:: would be converted to:
::: {{Tlx|Dubious span|K[X] is NOT integral|text{{=}}K[X] is clearly a whole number.}},
:: which is rendered as follows (note the URL link to discuss):
::: {{Dubious span|K%5BX%5D is NOT integral|text=K[X] is clearly a whole number.}}.
:: For comparison, the unescaped version produces garbage:
::: {{Dubious span|K[X] is NOT integral|text=K[X] is clearly a whole number.}}
* {{Para|date}} the month and year when the template was added. Example: {{Para||date{{=}}{{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}}}. This date will then be displayed in a tooltip when the reader moves their mouse over the superscripted word "dubious".
* {{Para|reason}} a (concise) reason that the text was marked as dubious. Example: {{Para||reason{{=}}The dates given imply that this person lived for 110 years in the 16th century.}}. This reason will then be displayed in a tooltip when the reader moves their mouse over the superscripted word "dubious".

=== Example of usage ===
Code:
: <nowiki>{{Dubious span|1=How is blah relevant?|text=TEXT TEXT TEXT blah.|reason="Blah" is not related to TEXT.|date=June 2020}}</nowiki>
Result:
: {{Dubious span|1=How is blah relevant?|text=TEXT TEXT TEXT blah.|reason="Blah" is not related to TEXT.|date=June 2020}}
In context:
: TEXT TEXT TEXT foo. {{Dubious span|1=How is blah relevant?|text=TEXT TEXT TEXT blah.|reason="Blah" is not related to TEXT.|date=June 2020}} TEXT TEXT TEXT bar.

== TemplateData ==
{{TemplateData header}}
