Template:Help

Template

This template is used on a page which needs particular attention from an authority who knows what they are talking about.

Please use this template when:

$(1): \quad$ You can find no authoritative reference either in your library or on the web to the concept being defined

$(2): \quad$ There are several references, but they are contradictory, and no explanation can be found to resolve the various differences

$(3): \quad$ You can not understand the concept as defined, because there is insufficient explanatory material on this site.

Usage

For when the page needs more explanation, or simpler language, for you to understand it:

{{Help}}

For when there is a specific problem which you cannot resolve (e.g. contradictory sources):

{{Help|The sources provided contradict each other.}}

This gives:

This page needs the help of a knowledgeable authority. In particular: The sources provided contradict each other. If you are knowledgeable in this area, then you can help $\mathsf{Pr} \infty \mathsf{fWiki}$ by resolving the issues. To discuss this page in more detail, feel free to use the talk page. When this work has been completed, you may remove this instance of {{Help}} from the code. If you would welcome a second opinion as to whether your work is correct, add a call to {{Proofread}} the page.

If you wish to add a link to your talk page, so as to open a dialog:

{{Help|The sources provided contradict each other.|user=username}}

where username is your username on ProofWiki.

This gives:
