Usage
This template indicates that the article needs additional references. There is currently no consensus on where to place this template, but it is suggested that the template be placed in the references section at the bottom of the article.
The first un-named parameter will replace the words "section or article" in the template, and need not be used.
A talk parameter is allowed, setting this to any value will result in the message "See talk page for details." being included in the tag.
This template also includes support for using the date parameter. Adding this parameter sorts the article into subcategories of Category:Articles needing additional references and out of the parent category, allowing the oldest problems to be identified and dealt with first.
Listed below are three options for usage.
{{refimprove}}
{{refimprove|date=June 2026}}
{{refimprove|talk=y|date=June 2026}}
