New page

<includeonly>{{documentation subpage}}
</includeonly>

== 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. A [[WP:BOT]] will add this parameter if it is omitted.

Listed below are three options for usage.

<code>
<nowiki>
{{refimprove}}
</nowiki>

<nowiki>
{{refimprove|date=</nowiki>{{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}<nowiki>}}
</nowiki>

<nowiki>
{{refimprove|talk=y|date=</nowiki>{{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}<nowiki>}}
</nowiki>
</code>

== Differences with related templates ==

=== General advantages ===

* The naming scheme of Refimprove parallels that used for {{tl|Refbegin}}, {{tl|Refend}}, and {{tl|Reflist}}, thereby reducing confusion in compliance with the [[KISS principle]].

* Refimprove is easy to use.

=== Differences with {{tl|Primarysources}} and {{tl|Unreferenced}} ===

* Refimprove uses simple, general wording so that the template can be used any time referencing in an article needs improvement.

* There is also a <nowiki>{{reference|section}}</nowiki> and the normal variations.

===Differences with {{tl|Citation style}}===
*This template is intended for use in articles that need additional references. In case enough references appear to be present but the style of citation needs to improve, for example if it's not immediately clear which references back which facts, please don't use this template, but use {{tl|Citation style}} instead.
=== Differences with {{tl|fact}} ===

* Refimprove works for general and specific references whereas {{tl|fact}} can only be used in place of specific references.
* Unlike {{tl|fact}}, Refimprove places a very conspicuous banner at the top of the article.
