Template:Citation needed

^{[citation needed]}

Documentation

[purge]

This template adds an inline note that a piece of text in an article needs a citation. It adds the article to Pages missing necessary citations. It links to Wikipedia:Citation needed.

Parameters

• 1: (Optional) The text that needs citations. If this is omitted, it is assumed that the preceding statement– or sentence if placed at the very end of a sentence– is the text needing citations, so you should only use this when multiple statements lack citations.

Examples

Single bit needing citation:

Text preceding the template, bit needing citation{{citation needed}}, text following the template.

produces:

Text preceding the template, bit needing citation^{[citation needed]}, text following the template.

Multiple bits needing citation:

Text preceding the template, bit needing citation{{citation needed|bit needing citation, text following the template.}}

produces:

Text preceding the template, bit needing citation, text following the template.^{[citation needed]}
