Template:POV

[edit] Template documentation

It has been suggested that Unbalanced be merged into this page or section. (POV)

Template usage notes Do not use this template unless there is an ongoing dispute. The editor placing this template in an article should promptly begin a discussion on the article's talk page. In the absence of any discussion, or if the discussion has become dormant, then this tag may be removed by any editor. The purpose of this group of templates is to attract editors with different viewpoints to edit articles that need additional insight. This template should not be used as a Badge of shame. This template should only be applied to articles that are reasonably believed to misrepresent the views of WP:RS in the subject. The personal beliefs of Wikipedia's editors are irrelevant.

Usage

Place {{POV}} at the top of the disputed article, then explain your reasons on the article's WP:TP. To specify the section of the talk page, use {{POV|talk page section name}}. Articles using this template as shown above are placed into NPOV disputes.

This template can take an optional date parameter in the format {{POV|date = <month> <year>}} or {{POV|talk page section name|date = <month> <year>}}. If the date is not included it will probably be added later by a WP:BOT. Articles using this template with a date are added to Category:NPOV disputes from <month> <year>.
