While the |reason=
parameter can be added to almost any template to provide an in-wikitext rationale for the template (e.g., a sentence on what the concerns are) that is usually visible only to editors, the |details=
parameter can be used to make the template display a (short!) indication of the contextual information that is needed. E.g., using |details=date range this organization was operating
changes "... by providing more context for the reader." to "... by providing more context for the reader, especially: date range this organization was operating."
