{{High-use}}

This template is an alternative to {{Tl|Citation needed}}, for the cases where a reference is alluded to, or given in part, but not specified in enough detail. The factuality may or may not be in question; this template is just about the completeness of the citation. 

For an article with numerous partial citations, consider instead the banner template {{tlx|Full citations needed}}.

== Usage ==

{{Tlx|Full citation needed|date{{=}}{{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}}}

The template should be placed outside <code><nowiki><ref>...</ref></nowiki></code> tags.
* <code><nowiki>Nixon resigned August 9, 1974.<ref>''The New York Times''</ref>{{Full citation needed|date=</nowiki>{{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}}}</code>
*: '''Result:''' Nixon resigned August 9, 1974.<ref>''The New York Times''</ref>{{Full citation needed|date={{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}}}
{{reflist-talk}}

This template places the article into [[:Category:Articles needing more detailed references]] or a dated subcategory thereof.

This [[Wikipedia:Template|template]] is a [[Wikipedia:Avoid self-references|self-reference]] and so is part of the Wikipedia project rather than the encyclopædic content.
