Articles using this template as shown above are placed into Category:Accuracy disputes.

To make the message box small and floated to the left, set the "small" parameter to "left". Note that in this case, a shorter message will be displayed that doesn't include a link to the talk page. Example:

Template:

{{Disputed section|small=left}}

Date
