টেমপ্লেট:Citation needed span
Usage
Do 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=জানুয়ারি ২০২৫}}
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.}}More sourced material.
- Sourced material. Passage to be sourced. Another passage to be sourced.[তথ্যসূত্র প্রয়োজন] More sourced material.
Sourced material.{{citation needed span|text=Passage to be sourced. Another passage to be sourced.|date=জানুয়ারি ২০২৫}}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.[citation needed] Another passage to be sourced.[citation needed] More sourced material.
Parameters
There are three parameters to the template:
|text=- the text needing attribution.
|date=- the date in the form
জানুয়ারি ২০২৫. If omitted a bot will add it within a day or so. |reason=- reason for the citation request. If omitted, "This claim needs references to reliable sources" will be used. This text is shown as a tooltip.
Categorization of articles
Adding this template to an article places the article into বিষয়শ্রেণী:যেসব নিবন্ধের তথ্য যাচাই করা দরকার, বিষয়শ্রেণী:উৎসবিহীন তথ্যবিশিষ্ট নিবন্ধ, and/or dated subcategories thereof.
