Template:More footnotes/doc

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

When to use

[edit]

This template indicates that the article cites a sufficient number of reliable sources, but uses an inappropriate combination of inline citations and general references. All material in articles must be verifiable, but outside of featured articles and good articles Wikipedia does not require the use of inline citations except to support direct quotations, material that has been challenged or is likely to be challenged and contentious material about living persons.

An inline citation is any system that associates a given piece of an article with a specific citation. The two most popular forms are clickable footnotes (<ref> tags, which produce foot notes like this: [1]) and parenthetical references (e.g., (Smith 2010)). Other articles use embedded citations or manually formatted footnotes. Do not add this tag to articles that use the "wrong" style of inline citation.

For articles that do not contain any general references, but that need a greater number citations, use {{More references}} instead.

The template also has an optional |BLP= parameter. If its value is yes, this will indicate that the article is a biography of a living person, which have higher standards for further reading and external links.
