Template documentationUsage
This tag may be used on sections of articles that discuss one aspect of the section topic in too much detail. This is especially true if the content focuses on a relatively unimportant aspect of the topic while ignoring items of greater importance or coverage.
Section headings should follow all the guidance for article titles. Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy requires that we don't give undue weight to any particular subtopic. If a section is tagged with this, you can improve the article by adding content relevant to the article and the section topic and trimming or deleting non-important content. Alternatively, it's possible that the appearance of undue weight could be resolved by renaming the section, or moving some of the content to a more appropriate section.
