It can be placed at the beginning of article sections that need expansion, after the section title. It can also be used on other pages such as in "Wikipedia:" space. (This template currently only uses the "article message box" style, but that is a bug we are going to fix.)
This template can be used without any parameters, like this:
এই অনুচ্ছেদটি সম্প্রসারণ করা প্রয়োজন। (আলোচনা)(সেপ্টেম্বর ২০২৪)
It can also take the current month and year as a parameter, which is used in categorising the page into a corresponding category. (See more on that further.) Like this:
এই অনুচ্ছেদটি সম্প্রসারণ করা প্রয়োজন। (আলোচনা)(সেপ্টেম্বর ২০২৪)
There are bots that edit the pages and add the date parameter if you forget to do it. The date parameter causes no visible change in the message box itself, it only makes the page categorise properly.
This template can also take a |1= parameter with an explanation of what expansion the section needs. And you can of course feed the date parameter at the same time. Like this:
{{Expand section|1=examples and additional citations|date=সেপ্টেম্বর ২০২৪}}
এই অনুচ্ছেদটি examples and additional citations সহ সম্প্রসারণ করা প্রয়োজন। (আলোচনা)(সেপ্টেম্বর ২০২৪)
When multiple expansion issues need to be raised, a bullet list can be made:
{{Expand section|1=<nowiki /> * Career from 1952 to 1960 * Final days after 1972 retirement |{{subst:DATE}}}}
এই অনুচ্ছেদটি
Career from 1952 to 1960
Final days after 1972 retirement সহ সম্প্রসারণ করা প্রয়োজন। (আলোচনা)(February 2012)
(The <nowiki /> is required or the first item will not display correctly.) If this list were longer than three items, it would probably be better raised on the talk page.
