![]() | This is a documentation subpage for Template:Failed verification. It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
The {{Failed verification}} tag will categorise tagged articles into Category:Articles with unsourced statements. This template is a self-reference and thus is part of the Wikipedia project rather than the encyclopedic content.
Contents
When to use
Use this tag only if:
- an inline citation to a source is given,
- you have checked the source,
- the source does not support what is contained in the article, and
- despite the source not supporting the article, the source still contains useful information on the topic.
For example, if the article says that 26% of statistics are made up, and the source says that statistics are made up without giving a percentage, then that information has failed verification. If you are unable to fix the error, then you should tag the information as not matching the named source. If the discrepancy between the source and the article isn't obvious, then please explain the situation in detail on the talk page.
If the source given is an unreachable website, use {{Dead link}}
instead. See Wikipedia:Link rot and WP:DEADREF for more information.
If no source is given, and you believe that an inline citation is necessary for that information, then use {{Citation needed}}
.
If the source has absolutely no relevance to any part of the article, delete the reference and replace with {{Citation needed}}
.
How to use
Placement
The template should be placed outside the reference (<ref> ... </ref>
), within the article's text:
- ... 26% of statistics are made up.
<ref>some alleged source for this</ref>{{Failed verification|date=June 2025}}
Next sentence in the article.
Common form (with current date)
{{Failed verification|date=June 2025}}
