Revision as of 20:48, 22 April 2025

Description

This template should be added after statements in articles that should have some type of citation. Using the template automatically adds the article to Category: Articles in Need of Citations.

This template is one of several Editorial Notations.

Usage

Note: When used on article pages, this template will render as follows ( ^{[citation needed]} ) It does not render correctly on this page due to recursive linking logic.

Tag Only When just `{{cite}}` is passed, it will add a superscript note that says "[citation needed]". When you hover your cursor over it for a moment, a pop-up message that says "A citation is needed for this statement." will appear.
