Template:Actual citation needed
(Redirected from Template:actual citation needed)
When I see this, does it mean the content needs citations?[edit]
Yes, this notice is used for statements that are unsourced and require reliable citations (such as sentences like "Randall has said he regrets making this comic.") This template looks like this:[actual citation needed]. When you see it, it means the content is unsourced and unreliable, like on Wikipedia. Learn how and when to use this on Wikipedia. Instead, the standard {{Citation needed}} template on this wiki is used as a joke and not for actual citations, so {{Actual citation needed}} is for statements that really do require a citation. Learn more at the Editor FAQ.
Given below is a helpful chart to show how to use this template properly, by putting it after the punctuation.
