If the section of the talk page for discussing it is named, for example, "Synthesis debate", use the parameter|talksection= e.g.{{Synthesis|article|talksection=Synthesis debate}}. If no talksection parameter is used, the link will go to a talk page section named "Synthesis" if one exists, otherwise it will simply direct the reader to the talk page.
As the default topic is the article name, the topic parameter needs to be used to change the topic to reflect the section name when using the section parameter:{{Synthesis|section}} produces:
| This sectionpossibly contains originalsynthesis. Source material shouldverifiably mention andrelate to the main topic. Relevant discussion may be found on thetalk page.(February 2026) (Learn how and when to remove this message) |
A date parameter can also be used to inform other editors of the time the tag has been in place:{{Synthesis|article|date=February 2026}} produces:
| This articlepossibly contains originalsynthesis. Source material shouldverifiably mention andrelate to the main topic. Relevant discussion may be found on thetalk page.(February 2026) (Learn how and when to remove this message) |
