Template:Failed verification

Template documentation

The {{Failed verification}} tag will categorise tagged articles into Category:Articles with unsourced statements. This template is a self-reference and thus is part of the Wikipedia project rather than the encyclopaedic content.

Usage

Common form (with current date)

{{Failed verification|date=February 2023}}

Use this tag only if a source is given, you have checked the source, and found that the source says something other than what is contained in the text, or for whatever reason is illegible or unreadable. Explain in detail on the talk page. If the source given is an unreachable website, use {{Dead link}} instead.

Link to the section on the talk page with

talk=section name

or to a discussion elsewhere with

talk page=discussion page

or

talk page=discussion page#section name
