This template can be used to indicate that a particular statement or claim is unverified, and that it requires a source link to confirm.

Usage

  • Using {{Citation needed}} at the end of a statement or sentence will generate the tag like this.[citation needed ][[Category:Pages needing citations{{#translation:}}]]

Examples

  • Use it on claims that obviously require a source. In the below instance, a link to a blog post, press statement or other Valve announcement should be provided.
RSI has stated numerous times that they really dislike the Vanduul.[citation needed ][[Category:Pages needing citations{{#translation:}}]]
  • However, do not use it on claims that are general game knowledge or would otherwise not require a proper citation.
The Vanduul are an alien race [citation needed ][[Category:Pages needing citations{{#translation:}}]]
or
The Hornet is a series of ship.[citation needed ][[Category:Pages needing citations{{#translation:}}]]
