Template:Page needed/doc

This is a documentation subpage for Template:Page needed.
It contains usage information, categories, and other content that is not part of the original template page.

Usage edit

This template functions as an in-line request for the specific citation of a page number or page numbers in a work such as a book or journal. Do not use this tag to label statements which you suspect to be false. Instead, move those statements to the discussion page and ask for evidence.

This tag will categorise tagged articles into Category:Pages with inadequate citations but not this template itself.

This template is a self-reference and so is part of the Wikiquote project rather than the quotation content.

Typical usage:

Some text here.<ref name="Smith 2009">{{Cite book
|last=Smith
|first=Jane
|title=The Unbearable Beingness of Light
|year=2009
|page={{page needed}}
|nopp=yes <!-- use of "nopp=yes" prevents {{cite book}} from displaying a "p." -->
|location=[[New York City|New York]]
|publisher=Fnord Pubs
}}</ref>
