قالب:Citation broken/doc

This template is an alternative to {{Citation needed}}, for the cases where a reference is alluded to, or given in part, but not specified in enough detail. The factuality may or may not be in question; this template is just about the completeness of the citation.

For an article with numerous partial citations, consider instead the banner template {{Full citations needed}}.

How to use

{{Full citation needed|date=مايو 2026}}

The template should be placed outside <ref>...</ref> tags.

  • Nixon resigned August 9, 1974.<ref>''The New York Times''</ref>{{Full citation needed|date=مايو 2026}}
    Result: Nixon resigned August 9, 1974.[1][استشهاد ناقص]

References

  1. ^ The New York Times

When to use

Use this when you find citations that are hopelessly incomplete, such as:

  • The Daily News (but no date or article title)
  • Smith 2000 (and no indication of the title, or which of the many authors named "Smith" wrote it)
  • According to a press release from the company... (they might send out hundreds every year)

Do not use this when there is enough of a bibliographic citation that you can find the source (e.g., the book or the article), but you want a page number, quotation, or other detail. Instead, use {{page needed}}, {{request quotation}}, or other specific template.

Other information

This template places the article into Category:Articles needing more detailed references or a dated subcategory thereof.

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