This template should be used when the article contains a large number of buzzwords. While the policy [[WP:Jargon]] may apply, there is a distinction between the two words:

:'''[[Buzzwords]]''' differ from '''[[jargon]]''' in that they have the function of impressing or of obscuring meaning, while jargon (ideally) has a well-defined technical meaning, if only to specialists. However, the hype surrounding new technologies often turns technical terms into buzzwords.

== Usage ==

Place {{Tlx|Buzzword|date{{=}}{{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}}} at the top of an article.

* For sections use the ''section'' parameter: {{Tlx|Buzzword|section|date{{=}}{{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}}}
* To optionally specify the issue at hand, use either <code><nowiki>{{</nowiki>Buzzword|section|reason=yourreason<nowiki>}}</nowiki></code> or <code><nowiki>{{</nowiki>Buzzword|reason{{=}}yourreason<nowiki>}}</nowiki></code>
* Add a new item to the talk page explaining the problem so editors will know what to address, and when to remove this tag. To optionally link directly to the talkpage section, use the talk parameter, e.g.:
<code><nowiki>{{</nowiki>Buzzword|section|reason=yourreason|talk=Too many buzzwords in article...<nowiki>}}</nowiki></code> or <code><nowiki>{{</nowiki>Buzzword|reason{{=}}yourreason|talk{{=}}We need to rewrite all this jargon!<nowiki>}}</nowiki></code>.
* This template adds articles to [[:Category:Wikipedia articles containing buzzwords]], or a dated subcategory thereof.

==Notes==
* This [[Wikipedia:Template|template]] is a [[Wikipedia:Avoid self-references|self-reference]].
* Please do not [[Wikipedia:Subst|subst:]] this template.
