 | This article has an unclear citation style. |
Template documentation | This template, module and/or subpages are based on or ported over completely to BattleTechWiki, using the Creative Commons Licensed content from this page on Wikipedia (The original authors of this page are shown on here). |
A maintenance template which may be used on article pages to indicate an article in need of citation or referencing cleanup.
Usage[edit]
{{Citation style|reason=specify reason}}
Purpose[edit]
This template should be used only on articles that have sources.
It may be used with {{More citations needed}} or other check references templates. This template should not be used with stubs.
The most common correct use of this template is to identify an article that uses more than one major citation style. BattleTechWiki's guidelines generally prohibit editors from changing from one acceptable form of inline citations to another without consensus, especially for reasons of personal preference or to make one article match the style in another article.
This template may be removed by anyone who fixes the problems with confusing citation styles.
Parameters[edit]
All parameters are optional:
|1=section– set tosectionto indicate that the template applies to just the section where it is placed. By default, the template is placed at the top and applies to the entire article. Any word may be used, e.g.,|1=paragraph,|1=table, and so on.
|reason=may be used to provide more details on some of the aspects that should be addressed for the given article. Alias:|details=.
|small=left– add this to reduce the banner to a small, flush-left box. Other values (such as 'no', 'yes', 'right') are invalid, and will not work as expected.
