Template:Source/doc: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 08:44, 16 November 2009

This is a documentation subpage for Template:Source (see that page for the template itself).
It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page.

Instructions[edit source]

All Wiki users can add or remove the Source flag.
Add the citation required flag to a page by typing {{Source}}
In general you should indicate the reason the cleanup is needed, e.g., {{Source{{{3}}}{{{4}}}{{{5}}}{{{6}}}{{{7}}}{{{8}}}{{{9}}}{{{10}}}{{{11}}}...}}.
This will add the article to Category:Articles needing citations
The flag will remain on the page and/or section of a page until the citation is added.
If you are using the template only for documentation purposes, you can suppress the Category:Articles needing citations by adding a blank category parameter, e.g., {{Source{{{4}}}{{{5}}}{{{6}}}{{{7}}}{{{8}}}{{{9}}}{{{10}}}{{{11}}}...}}.
