Requesting sources - {{cleanup-verify}} also deprecated?

How about {{cleanup-verify}}? Is it also deprecated?

Secondary source template

Should this template be added to this page? I don't see a location for it. Maybe this article needs a section for "Disputes" over sources? Or just leave it on the templates for disputes page?

Expired/broken citation

Is there a template stating that a citation is broken or expired? I thought so, but I didn't see it here. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 17:24, 12 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Good question! If I knew what it was, I'd apply it to the page under discussion here: Wikipedia:Template_messages/Sources_of_articles ;-) The specific problem is that Example 1 of {{episode}} contains a broken link. yoyo (talk) 03:12, 11 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

"what it makes" displays badly for "reference necessary" template

Under the "inline" section the row for {{reference necessary}} displays badly in the "what it makes" column. It displays as [[|^[]]] on two different browsers. I suspect that it is because the template needs a parameter but there is no way through the {{tlrow}} template to pass a parameter to the {{reference necessary}} template. Perhaps some template guru can find a way to fix it. Sbowers3 (talk) 01:31, 18 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Using Firefox 3.5, the entry under "what it makes" is blank. A firefox user, such as myself, wouldn't even know there was something missing!

Update: Under Firefox 11.0, the {{reference necessary}} template now displays a light underlining of the included text, as shown under the See also heading of the documentation page for the {{citation needed span}} template. So the problem would seem to have been solved. yoyo (talk) 03:33, 11 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

"Multiple" versus "many"

This may be a matter of British, versus American, usage; if somebody tells me so, I won't persist.

I think that the sections headed:

6 Using the same footnote multiple times

and

7 Using multiple pages from the same source

would be even easier to understand if headed instead:

6 Using the same footnote many times

and

7 Using many pages from the same source

Not a big deal, but I'd like to make this change if nobody objects any time soon.

Template:rr

Could someone please find an appropriate place for {{rr}} aka {{PAYWALL}}? Thanks, Paradoctor (talk) 08:08, 18 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Corporate Annual Reports

Which template should be used for corporate (or other orgs for that matter) annual reports? --Insider201283 (talk) 20:05, 21 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Too many refs template?

Is there an inline template for "Too many references" where they include a bunch for some simple point or other in total overkill? Thanks. CarolMooreDC (talk) 14:08, 13 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Here I'm back again on another article, another topic. This time I don't care that there are too many refs, just that all 17 are in a row and not in one ref. Isn't there a "consolidate references template" or something? Just wondering. User:Carolmooredc 22:20, 6 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Could you please provide a link to that? I think a bot hunting for "ref worms" might come in handy. Paradoctor (talk) 11:16, 7 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

This diff is where someone took the list from the lead and made it a note, since it was all Ref names of articles mentioned in body of article. There have been other examples from an article 6-8 months ago that got cleaned up and others too far back to remember. A bot would be a good start.

WP:CIRCULAR

At User:Noiratsi/sandbox/transclude I have drafted a maintenance tag for articles with circular sources, such as this newly created page. Does such a template already exist? If so I wasn't able to find it. If it doesn't, I'd welcome comments and contributions to my proposed template. Thanks very much! —Noiratsi (talk) 13:32, 22 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Cancel that; I found it, very helpfully located at {{circular}}. —Noiratsi (talk) 13:52, 22 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Please Help

I can't find the appropriate template for when an article has sources, but not inline citations. Can someone help? GreyWinterOwl (talk) 13:45, 22 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Try {{No footnotes}} or {{More footnotes}} —hike395 (talk) 13:55, 22 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Please add

An entry to the generic Cleanup tag, because at times an article cleanup is required based on systematic issues associated with sources, and so having one such generic link saves having to go to the cleanup specific tag page for that one link. Thank you. Le Prof 71.201.62.200 (talk) 01:46, 14 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Missing template

The template {Inadequate lead} is currently missing and should be added to the appropriate section. Thanks, Yambaram (talk) 23:40, 1 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
