Template:Assumption/doc
Documentation
This template is used to mark text that goes beyond known facts and may well be found to be false in the future. It can either be called with no input after a phrase, sentence, or paragraph containing such text or with the relevant text provided in the template call, as seen in the examples below.
Articles containing calls to this template are listed in Category:Articles containing assumptions so they may be improved in the future (for example, by seeking out evidence for or against the marked statement).
Usage
{{assumption|text|reason=}}{{assumption|reason=|scope=}}
The optional parameter reason can be used to override the default "tooltip" provided by the template (as seen in the examples below). When called with no input text, as in the second form above, the parameter scope may be used to specify how much of the preceding text is being referred to.
Examples
She probably does.{{assumption}}⇒ She probably does. !She {{assumption|probably does}}.⇒ She probably does.
"Hover" on the underlined text or the litte icon to see the "tooltip" provided by the template

Admittedly, it's not always clear which of these templates is appropriate in a given situation. For the most part, you can just choose whichever one seems to make the most sense based on the wording of the statement you're marking (which is why there are so many of them in the first place). Be sure to check the wording of the "tooltip" provided by the template you have chosen, to see if it applies. (And see the template documentation for any available parameters that might help.)
