{{tlc|Refexample section|date{{=}}{{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}|talk{{=}}{{var|Talk page section name}}}}
==Usage==
===When to use===
This [[Wikipedia:Templates|template]] indicates that a section needs additional inline citations that do not fall under [[Wikipedia_talk:Verifiability/Archive_63#RfC:_Are_.22in_popular_culture.22_entries_.22self-sourcing.22_or_do_they_require_a_reference_under_Wikipedia:Verifiability_and_Wikipedia:Identifying_reliable_sources.3F|self-sourcing examples]]. This template should be used only for sections where there are some, but insufficient, inline citations to support the material currently in the section.
Please consider marking individual poorly-referenced statements with {{tl|Better source example}} instead of placing this template.
===How to use===
This can be made smaller with the optional {{para|small}} parameter set to any value.
A {{para|talk}} parameter is allowed; setting this to any value will result in the message "See talk page for details." being included in the tag. If the value is a valid anchor on the talk page (''e.g.'', the title of a section or subsection heading), then the talk page link will go directly to that anchor; if not, to the top of the page.
This template also includes support for using the {{para|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 [[Wikipedia:Bot policy|bot]] will add this parameter if it is omitted. Be careful '''''not''''' to abbreviate the date, because then it will automatically add a redlinked category instead of the correct category. The simplest way to use this parameter manually is <code><nowiki>{{Refexample section|{{subst:DATE}}}}</nowiki></code> but it can be done more explicitly as <code><nowiki>{{Refexample section|date=</nowiki>{{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}<nowiki>}}</nowiki></code> (both result in the same output). Do ''not'' use <code><nowiki>{{Refexample section|date={{subst:DATE}}}}</nowiki></code>: <code><nowiki>{{subst:DATE}}</nowiki></code> includes the leading <code>date=</code>.
A user warning template, {{tl|Uw-refexample}}, is available to notify contributors that an article they created needs its referencing improved.
This template adds the article to [[:Category:Articles needing additional references from {{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}]], and [[:Category:All articles needing additional references]], both [[:Category:Hidden categories|hidden categories]].
===General advantage===
* The naming scheme of Refexample parallels that used for {{tl|Refbegin}}, {{tl|Refend}}, and {{tl|Reflist}}, thereby reducing confusion, in compliance with the [[KISS principle]].
