Template:Talkfact
Appearance
[source?]
Do not use this template in articles; use {{Fact}} instead. |
Usage
[change source]{{Talkfact}}
- [source?]
{{Talkfact|nice=yes}}
Purpose
[change source]This template can be used in talk pages to quickly ask an editor to back up their claims. It works basically the same way as {{Citation needed}}, but does not add the talk page to any categories.
The template can help focus long, complicated discussions in which claims without evidence are raised. It serves as a brief reminder that does not add significantly to the length and complexity of the discussion. Addition of such a citation will encourage verification of the claim.
Contraindications
[change source]This template should probably not be used in smaller discussions.
This template should not be added to others' comments, but rather posted after them:
