Template:More footnotes
This article includes a list of references, but its sources remain unclear because it has insufficient inline citations. (November 2024) |
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 should be verifiable, but Festipedia 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.
How to use[edit]
To add this template to an article, copy and paste:
- {{More footnotes|{{subst:DATE}}}}
- or
- {{More footnotes|date=November 2024}}
Both options result in the same output.
The template can be placed in the article's "References" section, or, as appropriate for the citation style, "Notes" section.
An optional unnamed parameter:
- {{More footnotes|section}}
will change the word "article" in "This article...", e.g. {{More footnotes|list}}
or {{More footnotes|table}}. When used this way, the template cannot be placed in the "References" section.
This template will add the article to Category:Articles lacking in-text citations.
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.
