Template:Page needed
This template should not be used in citation templates such as Citation Style 1 and Citation Style 2, because it includes markup that will pollute the COinS metadata they produce; see COinS in Wikipedia. |
Contents
Usage
The {{page needed}}
template, and its plural version {{pages needed}}
, function as in-line requests for the specific citation of a page number, or numbers, in a cited work such as a book or journal. Do not use these tags to label citations to named entries in dictionaries or other alphabetically-arranged works with multiple entries per page, as the entry specified is already more specific than a page number. Do not use these tags to label statements which you suspect to be false. Instead, use a dispute template such as {{Dubious}}
, or move those statements to the talk page and ask for evidence.
{{Page needed|date=June 2016}}
These tags will categorise tagged articles into Category:Wikipedia articles needing page number citations or a dated subcategory thereof.
These templates are self-references and so are part of the Wikipedia project rather than the encyclopædic content.
