Template:Ref Expand
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}}}}
or
{{Full citations needed|date=December 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.
