Template:Full citations needed

This article needs more complete citations for verification. Please help improve this article by adding missing citation information so that sources are clearly identifiable. Citations should include title, publication, author, date, and (for paginated material) the page number(s). Several templates are available to assist in formatting. Improperly sourced material may be challenged and removed. (Learn how and when to remove this template message)

Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

This template uses Lua:

Module:Unsubst

This is a banner template to flag an article as having numerous incomplete reference citations that need details filled out. The inline version of this template, for tagging one or a few incomplete citations, is {{Full citation needed}}.

Usage

It should be dated. There are two ways to do this:

{{Full citations needed|{{subst:DATE}}}}

{{Full citations needed|date=November 2024}}

It should usually be placed at the top of the References section (or Sources, or Bibliography, etc. – whatever the section is named). It can also be used inside {{Multiple issues}}. It is best not used as a stand-alone template at the top of the article, as it is a cleanup tag not a dispute tag.
