Usage

edit

The default words "article or section" and the topic are both replaceable: {{Synthesis|article}} produces:


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:


A date parameter can also be used to inform other editors of the time the tag has been in place: {{Synthesis|article}} produces:


This template will categorize articles into Category:Articles that may contain original research.
