== 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 <code>|article</code> or <code>|section</code> after the template's name. There is also the [[Template:Confusing section]] template for the sections.
* Wikipedia recommends the use of the <code>reason</code> parameter to explain what is confusing. For example:
:{{Tlx|Confusing|2=reason=the Wangler is referred to in the plural but the diagram shows only one}}
{{Confusing|reason=the Wangler is referred to in the plural but the diagram shows only one}}
*When a talk page discussion is held, a direct link to that discussion can be added via the {{para|talk}} parameter. For example:
:{{Tlx|Confusing|2=talk=Template talk:Confusing#Talk parameter please!}}
{{Confusing|talk=Template talk:Confusing#Talk parameter please!}}
*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 [[Wikipedia:Substitution|subst:]] this template.
{{Tlx|Confusing|small{{=}}left}} generates:
{{Confusing|small=left}}
{{Tlx|Confusing|small{{=}}left|reason{{=}}the tensing of the article is ambiguous}} generates:
{{Confusing|small=left|reason=the tensing of the article is ambiguous}}
==See also==
* [[Template:Clarify]], an in-line version of this template
* [[Template:Confusing section]], a section version of this template
* [[Template:Technical]]
* [[Template:Context]]
* [[Template:Vague]]
* [[Wikipedia:Template messages/Cleanup]] for an overview of cleanup templates.
