Template:Technical

Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

Not to be confused with Template:Wikipedia technical help or Template:JargonFile.

This template is used to identify articles or sections featuring excessive jargon, not enough explanation of concepts and too difficult for readers to understand. The article should be edited to be made simpler or the presentation of the topic reworded.

When adding this template, explain the issue in the edit summary or on the talk page. Without such explanation, editors with the knowledge to fix the issue often cannot address the issue as they do not know why the template was added in the first place.

Usage
