This article needs attention from an expert on the subject. Please add a reason or a talk parameter to this template to explain the issue with the article. When placing this tag, consider associating this request with a WikiProject.(ഫെബ്രുവരി 2025)
Important: When adding this template to an article, state the specific issue that you believe a subject-matter expert needs to address – not "the whole page in general". This may be done using the |reason= parameter and/or on the article's talk page.
An unexplained or trivial {{expert needed}} tag can be and should be removed by any editor, and is usually replaced with {{expert needed talk}} on the article's talk page if the reason for the request was clear but the issue is minor.
Realistically, do not expect a response when posting this tag. It is very rare for any subject-matter expert to respond as a result of seeing these tags. Your issue is far more likely to be addressed by one of the alternative methods listed in When to use.
Any breaking changes to this template, including moving it or nominating it for deletion, must be communicated in advance to Twinkle's users and maintainers at Wikipedia talk:Twinkle. The standard installation of Twinkle relies on this template. Thank you.
This template flags an article for the badly-needed attention of an expert or experts in the subject(s) specified (please use {{Expert needed talk}} on the talk page for non-urgent requests).
Use this tag when you have identified a specific issue that requires help from a subject-matter expert (not a generally knowledgeable Wikipedia editor).
If you want help for most of the page, or if you want help soon, then try these much more effective options:
Leave a note on the talk page of any relevant WikiProjects.
The first unnamed parameter accepts the name of the WikiProject
A second optional unnamed parameter, may be used to override the default "article" text with, for example, "section", "diagram" or "paragraph".
ex2–ex5: To add additional expert subjects, you can use these parameters to include more names of WikiProjects.
talk: If you have started a discussion on the article's talk page, you may link to that discussion with |talk=, using the section title of the discussion.
reason: You may use the |reason= parameter to provide a short explanation describing the issue directly within the template, instead of, or in addition to the talk parameter.
Add |talk=, |reason=, or both. Uses of this template with neither may be removed without further consideration.
date: The date of adding the template may be used as the next parameter, in the form of Month Year.
