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?}}
