Usage

• This template categorises tagged articles into Category:Wikipedia articles needing clarification.
• You can specify whether the template applies to an article (default) or section by adding |article or |section after the template's name. There is also the Template:Confusing section template for the sections.
• Wikipedia recommends the use of the reason parameter to explain what is confusing. For example:

{{{{#if: |subst:}}Confusing{{#if:reason=the furtlewangler is referred to in the plural but the diagram shows only one ||reason=the furtlewangler is referred to in the plural but the diagram shows only one}}{{#if: ||{{{3}}}}}{{#if: ||{{{4}}}}}{{#if: ||{{{5}}}}}{{#if: ||{{{6}}}}}{{#if: ||{{{7}}}}}{{#if: ||{{{8}}}}}{{#if: ||{{{9}}}}}{{#if: ||{{{10}}}}}{{#if: ||{{{11}}}}}{{#if: ||…}}}}

{{#ifeq:|left|}

• When a talk page discussion is held, a direct link to that discussion can be added via the |{{#if:talk|talk=}} parameter. For example:

{{{{#if: |subst:}}Confusing{{#if:talk=Template talk:Confusing#Talk parameter please! ||talk=Template talk:Confusing#Talk parameter please!}}{{#if: ||{{{3}}}}}{{#if: ||{{{4}}}}}{{#if: ||{{{5}}}}}{{#if: ||{{{6}}}}}{{#if: ||{{{7}}}}}{{#if: ||{{{8}}}}}{{#if: ||{{{9}}}}}{{#if: ||{{{10}}}}}{{#if: ||{{{11}}}}}{{#if: ||…}}}}

{{#ifeq:|left|}

• Do not capitalize the beginning of the reason, since it is preceded by "In particular, ".
• Do not add a full stop/period at the end of the reason because the template automatically puts a full stop/period in.
• Please do not subst: this template.

{{{{#if: |subst:}}Confusing{{#if:small=left ||small=left}}{{#if: ||{{{3}}}}}{{#if: ||{{{4}}}}}{{#if: ||{{{5}}}}}{{#if: ||{{{6}}}}}{{#if: ||{{{7}}}}}{{#if: ||{{{8}}}}}{{#if: ||{{{9}}}}}{{#if: ||{{{10}}}}}{{#if: ||{{{11}}}}}{{#if: ||…}}}} generates:

{{#ifeq:left|left|}

{{{{#if: |subst:}}Confusing{{#if:small=left ||small=left}}{{#if:reason=the tensing of the article is ambiguous ||reason=the tensing of the article is ambiguous}}{{#if: ||{{{4}}}}}{{#if: ||{{{5}}}}}{{#if: ||{{{6}}}}}{{#if: ||{{{7}}}}}{{#if: ||{{{8}}}}}{{#if: ||{{{9}}}}}{{#if: ||{{{10}}}}}{{#if: ||{{{11}}}}}{{#if: ||…}}}} generates:

{{#ifeq:left|left|}
