Template:Citation needed
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[edit source]
- 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[edit source]
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]
