This template should not be substituted. |
The Citation needed template is used to identify claims in articles, particularly those deemed questionable, that need a citation to a reliable source. Pages using this template will be included in Category:Pages with unsourced statements.
Note: You can use {{cn}} as a shortcut.
Usage
{{Citation needed}}
This template should be placed with no spaces directly after punctuation.
Note that no arguments are implemented in this simplified version of the template, unlike the original template on Wikipedia. One could, however, add the date and the reason with the usual syntax to leave information within the wikitext. Here is an example:
{{Citation needed|date=December 2021|reason=Who used this term?}}
