When to use
[ସମ୍ପାଦନା]This template should be used only on articles that have sources.
It may be used with {{Refimprove}} 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 (e.g., half the citations use ref tags, and half are parenthetical citations).
Do not place on articles containing all parenthetical citations! They're not as easy to spot with a quick glance as superscripted blue numbers, but they are an acceptable form of WP:Inline citations. Wikipedia's guidelines generally prohibit editors from changing from one acceptable form of inline citations to another, 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.
How to use
[ସମ୍ପାଦନା]To use this template, place {{Citation style|date=ଡିସେମ୍ବର ୨୦୨୪}} on the article page or talk page in a location that may aid in conveying the message of the template. This template may be used within Template:Articleissues and placement of this template on the article page is guided by Template messages/Cleanup. The following parameters may be specified for this template:
- Date parameter should preferably be used to categorize the artice in a subcategory of Category:Wikipedia references cleanup. This helps with addressing aged cleanup messages. (e.g.,
{{Citation style|date=ଡିସେମ୍ବର ୨୦୨୪}}.) - Details parameter may be used to provide more details on some of the aspects that should be addressed for the given article. (e.g.,
{{Citation style|details=Citation titles should be specified}}) - First unnamed parameter may be used to specify whether the template applies to the entire article or a section of the article (e.g.,
{{Citation style|section|date=ଡିସେମ୍ବର ୨୦୨୪}}. If not specified, the first unnamed parameter defaults to "article."
