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.

Place {{Buzzword|date=December 2024}} at the top of an article.

• For sections use the section parameter: {{Buzzword|section|date=December 2024}}
• To optionally specify the issue at hand, use either {{Buzzword|section|reason=yourreason}} or {{Buzzword|reason=yourreason}}

{{Buzzword|section|reason=yourreason|talk=Too many buzzwords in article...}} or {{Buzzword|reason=yourreason|talk=We need to rewrite all this jargon!}}.
