Template:User-generated inline/doc

Usage


This is an inline template used to flag facts in an article as being cited to sources that user-generated content (e.g. other wikis, content farms, or user-editable databases like IMDb), and thus potentially unreliable, per WP:Identifying reliable sources (WP:Verifiability and WP:Neutral point of view are also relevant, but the template's link to goes to that anchor at the reliable sources guideline).

This template will categorize tagged articles into Category:Accuracy disputes.

To flag citations themselves as being to such questionable sources, use Template:User-generated source, inside of . For whole sections or articles, use Template:Self-published.

This template takes a compulsory parameter (which if not set by the editor will be set by a bot):
 * date—in the format "Month Year" or "YYYY-MM-DD" etc.

If there is concrete proof that the source is user-generated, you can use a parameter to remove the "?" from the template's output:
 * yes or y

Redirects

 * Any hyphenation will work:
