Template:Page number

Template documentation

Usage

This template functions as an in-line request for the specific citation of a page number or page numbers in a work such as a book or journal. Do not use this tag in order to label statements which you suspect to be false. Instead, move those statements to the discussion page and ask for evidence.

This tag will categorise tagged articles into Category:Wikipedia articles needing page number citations but not this template itself.

This template is a self-reference and so is part of the Wikipedia project rather than the encyclopædic content.

Typical usage:

Some text here.<ref name="Smith 2009">{{Cite book
|last=Smith
|first=Jane
|title=The Unbearable Beingness of Light
|year=2009
|page={{page needed|{{subst:DATE}}}}
|nopp=yes <!-- use of "nopp=yes" prevents {{cite book}} from displaying a "p." -->
|location=[[New York City|New York]]
|publisher=Fnord Pubs
}}</ref>
