{{Friendly standard installation}}

A maintenance template which may be used on article pages to indicate an article in need of [[WP:TMCITE|citation or referencing cleanup]].

== Usage ==

{{tlc|Citation style |reason{{=}}''specify reason'' |date{{=}}{{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}}}

=== When to use ===

'''This template should be used only on articles that have sources.'''

It may be used with '''{{tl|Refimprove}}''' or other check references templates. This template should not be used with [[{{SITENAME}}:Stub|stubs]].

The most common correct use of this template is to identify an article that uses more than one major citation style (e.g., half the citations use [[Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Layout#Standard appendices and footers|ref tags]], and half are [[Wikipedia:Parenthetical referencing|parenthetical citations]]).

Do not place this template on articles containing ''all'' parenthetical citations, a previously acceptable citation style that is now [[Deprecation|deprecated]] per [[WP:PARREF]].

[[Wikipedia:Citing sources|Wikipedia's guidelines]] generally prohibit editors from changing from one acceptable form of inline citations to another without [[WP:Consensus|consensus]], especially for reasons of personal preference or to make one article match the style in another article.

This template may be removed by anyone who fixes the problems with confusing citation styles.

== Parameters ==

All parameters are optional:

* '''{{para|1|section}}''' – set to {{pval|section}} to indicate that the template applies to just the section where it is placed. By default, the template is placed at the to and applies to the entire article. Any word may be used, e.g., {{para|1|paragraph}}, {{para|1|table}}, and so on.

* '''{{para|reason}}''' may be used to provide more details on some of the aspects that should be addressed for the given article. Alias: {{para|details}}.

* '''{{para|date}}''' – add Month, year; for example: {{pval|{{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}}}. This helps auto-categorization of the article into a subcategory of [[:Category:Wikipedia references cleanup]]. A bot will add it, if you forget.

* '''{{para|small|left}}''' – add this to reduce the banner to a small, flush-left box. Other values (such as 'no', 'yes', 'right') are invalid, and will not work as expected.

== Categorization ==

This template will categorise tagged articles into [[:Category:Wikipedia references cleanup]] and [[:Category:Articles covered by WikiProject Wikify]].

This template is a [[Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Self-references to avoid|self-reference]].

This template should not be [[Help:Substitution|substituted]].

== TemplateData ==
