Clarification that "section" should be used in the section attribute, and should not be a different name - that's just caught me out!

New page

{{Documentation subpage}}

{{Twinkle standard installation}}
{{lua|Module:Unsubst}}
This template is used to identify articles which, while comprehensible, contain excessive detail on trivial subjects and need to be refocused to suit a more general audience.

== Usage ==
;Full page
:<tt><nowiki>{{Overly detailed|date=</nowiki>{{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}}}</tt>
;Section
:<tt><nowiki>{{Overly detailed|section|date=</nowiki>{{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}}}</tt>

"Date" and "section" are both optional. The "section" attribute, if included, customises the wording to apply only to a section of an article. The word "section" should be used as is, and not replaced with the name of the section.

This template should '''not''' be [[Wikipedia:Template substitution|subst'ed]].

== Notes ==
This template will add tagged articles to [[:Category:Wikipedia articles that are excessively detailed]], dated subcategories of [[:Category:Wikipedia articles with style issues by month]] and to [[:Category:All articles with style issues]].

== Template data ==
<templatedata>
{
"params": {
"details": {
"label": "Additional details",
"description": "Any additional details you would like to add to this request",
"example": "an excess of advanced scientific data in the lead section",
"type": "string",
"suggested": true
},
"date": {
