The example
{{Dubious|K%5BX%5D is NOT integral}}
seems to be faulty, as it produces

Still not working. Result in 2024 is

OK, technically it's working, but it lacked a proper explanation or context.
I have expounded on the issue now in the documentation. —DIV (

Please add info. boxes at the bottom of the page, like at

@
Jc86035 : I was having trouble using this template, you created. Might be me, but I think the syntax needs more explaining and maybe more examples.
Specificity, the text I'm spanning went right off the right side of the page, thus:
"[Dubious - [[Talk:page name#TEXT, TEXT TEXT yada, had, yada.|discuss]] "
Using this syntax:
{{Dubious-span|TEXT, TEXT TEXT yada, yada, yada.|date=June 2020}}
Y
Fixed
Aha! I left out "text=" before TEXT, TEXT TEXT yada, yada, yada. It was after 3 AM here though … ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I think you need a sample template that dummies like me can copy and paste where they need. Like:
{{Dubious-span |text= dubious TEXT, TEXT TEXT yada, yada, yada. |date=June 2020}}

Yes, documentation is very poor. Especially writing "Dubious" instead of "Dubious-span" :-(
Your contribution helps :-)
I have adapted it at
Template:Dubious_span/doc#Example_of_usage .

I've made three main changes to the documentation now:
added an adapted version of your example;
defined "reason" as a (previously undocumented) parameter; and
elaborated on escaping 'special' characters occurring in the section name specified for discussion on the Talk page.
No doubt more work is needed, but I hope this helps a bit.

I don't know if the originally created template by
Jc86035 had not adapted to it, or if later changes glitched it, but if you use this template and the span text includes a wikilink, it screws up.
{{{Dubious span|[[apples]] and oranges}} renders as
apples and dates
dubious – [[Template talk:Dubious span#
apples and dates|discuss]]
You have an extra opening brace, but no matter.
{{Dubious span|[[apples]] and oranges}}
currently renders as
apples and oranges
dubious – [[Template talk:Dubious span#
apples and oranges|discuss]]
Here the problem is not in the text, but in the link to the Talk page.
{{Dubious span|text=[[apples]] and oranges|1=Fruit???}}
fixes it:
apples and oranges
dubious –
discuss
as does
{{Dubious span|Fruit???|text=[[apples]] and oranges}}
apples and oranges
dubious –
