This template is used only during an active discussion of whether an existing guideline or policy (or a section on a page) should be a guideline or policy at all.
Using this tag is frequently controversial and may spark an edit war.
Please explain your concerns on the article's talk page. Otherwise, other editors may remove this tag.
When to use
Use this template to dispute whether a page (or a section on a page) has properly been accorded policy or guideline status.
This template is only for ongoing, active disputes that are evidenced in talk page discussion. It is not intended for flagging a project page or section as vaguely controversial, nor for indicating a personal dislike of the document. There is no such thing as an indefinitely disputed policy or guideline. These tags should not be used as a badge of shame. If there is no active discussion, then the tag may be removed by any editor. For more information on the proper use of this tag, see BP:Policies and guidelines.
How to use
Place {{Disputed tag}} at the top of the page or section that you intend to discuss.
Optionally specify:
Either, a talk page section: {{Disputed tag|talk=Discussion}} will link "talk page" to Talk:PageName#Discussion.
Or, a full page-link: (usually to a centralized talk-page) {{Disputed tag|talkpage=Talk:MyPage#Discussion}} will link "talk page" to Talk:MyPage#Discussion.
A short message about what to do instead -- for editors lacking time to analyze the current discussion: msg=the default recommendation
If the tag applies strictly to a specific section of a policy or guideline, append the following parameter: section=yes . This will cause the template to appear as:
When adding this template, do not remove the policy or guideline tag, first because otherwise users cannot see what the dispute is about, and second because a dispute does not automatically revoke the policy or guideline. See BP:POL for details.
Alternatives
Many times, your concerns can be addressed through a normal discussion, without placing this tag on the page.
For proposals to change policies or guidelines, use {{Under discussion}} instead (see that template's page for available options). If the proposal concerns a page's status as policy or guideline, use {{Under discussion|status}}.
If you disagree with a {{Historical}} tag, do not use this template; instead, advertise the page on e.g. BP:RFC and the village pump to get more people involved, so that it becomes active once more.
