Template:Verify

Template Documentation

Verify is a template that is intended for use when the accuracy of a statement in an article is in doubt or is being questioned by an editor. It is an open request for confirmation or refutation, and/or more research, and any appropriate editing to bring the statement toward a more acceptable phrasing. The template produces a superscripted ^[verify].

Usage

The format used is:

{{Verify|Title|nocat=No Category}}

Which becomes: ^[verify]

Parameters

title

the title can be customised to describe what needs verification. Leaving blank will produce the default title: "Please add verification on this article's discussion page".

nocat

defines whether to add the article to the "articles requiring verification" category. Leaving blank will add the article to the category.
