ഫലകം:Citation needed span/doc
 | This is a documentation subpage for ഫലകം:Citation needed span. It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original ഫലകം page. |
Usage
തിരുത്തുകDo not substitute this template.
The {{citation needed span}} template may be used when there is unsourced text that should be attributed to a reference citation. Unlike the template {{citation needed}}, this template attaches explicitly to a portion of text, for example one or more specific sentences, by surrounding the text with the template. This is especially useful for flagging a block of multiple facts or multiple sentences as needing citation, and for singling out a specific fact that is unsourced among many sourced ones.
Once a citation is added, please remove this template from the surrounded text.
{{citation needed span|text=Passage(s) to be sourced|date=ഡിസംബർ 2024}}
The date is optional, so the minimal syntax is:
{{citation needed span|text=Passage(s) to be sourced}}
Example of usage:
Sourced material.{{citation needed span|text=Passage to be sourced. Another passage to be sourced.|date=ഡിസംബർ 2024}}More sourced material.
- Sourced material. Passage to be sourced. Another passage to be sourced.[citation needed] More sourced material.
Compare usage of {{Citation needed}}:
Sourced material. Passage to be sourced.{{Citation needed}}Another passage to be sourced.{{Citation needed}}More sourced material.
- Sourced material. Passage to be sourced.[അവലംബം ആവശ്യമാണ്] Another passage to be sourced.[അവലംബം ആവശ്യമാണ്] More sourced material.
