In Wikipedia, under "Leo Mazzone", it cites the town of Luke in location to a river , then says he "grew up there". Yet, in Wikipedia under "Westernport MD", ...residents, it states that Leo lived his entire childhood there [being Westernport]. The latter is correct, being that of Westernport. Leo and his family lived on Main Street. I was their paperboy, delivering the Cumberland Times. ---- toolman — Preceding unsigned comment added by Toolmanbruce ( talk • contribs) 07:52, 27 January 2014 (UTC)

All examples in the documentation show that this tag should be placed after punctuation. I find this natural since we would like this tag eventually to be replaced by a ref tag and references follow WP:REFPUNCT. Any opinions whether this should become more clear in the documentation and/or the Manual of Style? -- Magioladitis ( talk) 13:46, 10 February 2014 (UTC)
As per this conversation at Wikipedia:WikiProject Inline Templates, I intend to add the text "tagged since " to the date string of the tooltip. Barring no strong objections, I will make the change here in a day or two. The intention is to ultimately make the change for all the inline templates. Jason Quinn ( talk) 00:39, 15 March 2014 (UTC)

Samuel Edison and family relocated from Ohio in 1854 and rented a ex-officers home, that was located on the property of the Fort Gratiot. In 1979 the Oakland University, Rochester, Mich. discovered 42 pieces of typeset in the basement, that verifies that Thomas Alva Edison printed the newspaper that he sold - on the daily train ride - to Detroit. Today this is the very same paper as the current newspaper called the Port Huron Times Herald. 72.201.106.129 ( talk) 20:24, 7 April 2014 (UTC)

17:56, 9 June 2014 (UTC)I noticed small typographical errors with the citation needed template article. These errors more than likely (I'm even comfortable saying definitely, 100%) contribute to poor practices due to readers passing on the mistakes the page itself contains and promotes.
The talk page here seems to be the place to request temporary access to edit the article and that's what I'm here for. So... how long does this process usually take? Thanks. Marc Bago ( talk) 16:19, 23 June 2014 (UTC)

It is terrible for the page aesthetics to have this many {{ CN}} templates in a row in my opinion at this page. It also messes up the page formatting. This is kind of like a decision "Is the article for the editor or for the reader". If I was just some reader, I would be uncertain about reading that list. So, what I am saying is, should there be restrictions when it comes to having multiple {{ CN}} templates in a row? Dustin (talk) 20:59, 13 July 2014 (UTC)

is placed against the text that lacks a source. I appreciate that in a table like this (where a column is set aside for the refs) that it is desirable to place the {{
cn}}
in the refs column, but it then becomes even more important that it be clear to the editor just which fact needs a reference. This is why we provided the |reason=
parameter. When used, it shows as a tooltip when you hover the mouse over the words "citation needed" Try it here:
citation needed Otherwise both reader and editor are left guessing. --

21:59, 13 July 2014 (UTC)I have finished modifying the article to meet the new format. So I believe I am right in saying the best way to go about situations where there are multiple side-by-side {{
CN}} templates is to resort to the |reason=
parameter. It took a long time, but the change was definitely worth it in my opinion.

Currently this template places all invokations of {{ citation needed}} with first unnamed parameter (eg. {{ citation needed|foo}}) in dedicated tracking category Category:Pages containing citation needed template with deprecated parameters. I periodically raid this category fixing such cases (mostly these are misapplication of "date" and "reason" parameters), but finding them in the page is unnecessarily difficult without any visual clue. Inplementation in sandbox adds "template-fact-with-deprecated-parameters" to invokations of this template with non-empty first unnamed parameter. As this class is undefined in site CSS, the difference between production and sandbox version is not user-visible (as demonstrated in testcases page), allowing interested editors to define this class in their personal CSS. I believe that this change is not contraversial, so I ask to implement it in this template. — Dmitrij D. Czarkoff ( talk• track) 14:01, 10 August 2014 (UTC)
|reason=
was made a real parameter. Before that doccumentation suggested using "dummy" parameter for providing a hidden comment, and "reason" was only given as example.Now that Category:Pages containing citation needed template with deprecated parameters is cleaned, I suggest to make this template output error message if first unnamed parameter is non-empty. Implementation of this suggestion is demonstrated on testcases page. — Dmitrij D. Czarkoff ( talk• track) 23:19, 10 August 2014 (UTC)
|reason=

this TfD for a reason this parameter started being tracked. Please also see
this archived discussion where my plan of tracking this parameter and placing an error once category is clean saw implementation of phase 1.Looking over the strange creation of Category:Articles with unsourced statements from February 2,014, if you look at the version before and this edit, this edit, this edit and this edit shows that a mysterious comma appear if the date parameter is set to February 2014 (becoming February 2,014). In contrast, this edit worked perfectly fine so I don't know what causing it. -- Ricky81682 ( talk) 00:39, 22 September 2014 (UTC)

but will happen when any template that emits a dated category is placed in an infobox parameter which is expecting to format a numeric value by using commas to separate thousands. Not all infoboxes do this, and of those that do, not every parameter will format numbers with commas. The documentation for the infobox is the place for warnings about valid and invalid parameter values, also for advice on the proper placement of both <ref>...</ref>
