40px | This is a documentation subpage for Template:Nonspecific. It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
Usage
You may use either one of the following:
{{subst:nonspecific}}
or
{{nonspecific|date=December 2024}}
This tag is for placement after purportedly factual statements that could be relevant, but are not cited and are too general for a {{citation needed}} tag. Preferably the offending statement should be made more specific and then either cited or tagged for needing citation, but in some cases the best way to make the statement more specific may be unclear. Similarly, the statement should be deleted if determined to be unnecessary, but in some cases the outright deletion of the statement would be inappropriate or inflame controversy.
This tag will categorize tagged articles into Category:Wikipedia articles needing factual verification or dated subcategory thereof. This template is a self-reference and is part of the project administration rather than the encyclopedic content.
