Description
This template should be added after statements in articles that need clarification or improvement. Using the template automatically adds the article to Category: Articles in Need of Clarification.
This template is one of several Editorial Notations.
Usage
| Tag Only When just
{{clarify}} is passed, it will add a superscript note that says "[clarification needed]". When you hover over it for a moment, a pop-up message will appear that says "This statement needs clarifying.". | |
|---|---|
| You Type | You Get |
An example sentence.{{clarify}}
|
An example sentence.[clarification needed] |
| Reason Parameter When
reason= is passed, it will replace the text "This statement needs clarifying." in the pop-up message with your input. | |
| You Type | You Get |
An example sentence.{{clarify|reason=Explanation of reason.}}
|
An example sentence.[clarification needed] |
| Date Parameter When
date= is passed, it will add your input to the end of the pop-up message in parentheses. The pop-up message "This statement needs clarifying." will still appear unless reason= is also passed. | |

An example sentence.{{clarify|date=March 1883}}
|
An example sentence.[clarification needed] |
