Usage
Place {{Context|date=May 2021}} at the top of an article of which you believe does not identify itself sufficiently to readers unfamiliar with its subject.
{{Context|section|date=May 2021}} will produce | This section provides insufficient context for those unfamiliar with the subject. (May 2021) (Learn how and when to remove this template message) |
While the |reason= parameter can be added to almost any template to provide an in-wikitext rationale for the template (e.g., a sentence on what the concerns are) that is usually visible only to editors, the |details= parameter can be used to make the template display a (short!) indication of the contextual information that is needed. E.g., using |details=date range this organization was operating changes "... by providing more context for the reader." to "... by providing more context for the reader, especially: date range this organization was operating."
