This template is intended to be placed at the top of sections of articles which need additional references. Many editors understand this template to be redundant when it is used on articles clearly marked as stubs.

Usage[edit]

{{More citations needed section}}

{{More citations needed section|date=May 2024}}

{{More citations needed section|{{subst:DATE}}}}

{{More citations needed section|{{subst:DATE}}|talk=Talk page section name|small=y}}

Differences from related templates[edit]

General advantages[edit]

  • The naming scheme of {{More citations needed section}} parallels that used for {{Ref begin}}, {{Ref end}}, and {{Reflist}}, thereby reducing confusion in compliance with the KISS principle.
  • {{More citations needed section}} is easy to use.

Differences from {{Unreferenced}}[edit]

  • {{More citations needed section}} uses simple, general wording so that the template can be used any time referencing in an article section needs improvement.

Differences from {{Citation needed}}[edit]

  • {{More citations needed section}} works for general and specific references whereas {{Citation needed}} can only be used in place of specific references.
  • Unlike {{Citation needed}}, {{More citations needed section}} places a very conspicuous banner at the top of the article section.
