Module:Unsubst

This is a banner template to flag an article as having numerous incomplete reference citations that need details filled out. The inline version of this template, for tagging one or a few incomplete citations, is {{Full citation needed}}.

Usage

It should be dated. There are two ways to do this:

{{Full citations needed|

 This is a documentation subpage for Template:Full citations needed.
It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page.


Shortcut
{{DATE}}

 This template  uses Lua:
Module:Template link general

This template, often abbreviated as {{}}, is used to provide stylized formatting to template displays without actually using the template itself. The code generated will be displayed inline. For a multi-line output, see {{tj}}.

Semantic markup templates
 Template   Example output   Use 
 {{strong}}  Important!  To indicate <strong> importance, seriousness, or urgency instead of just simple typographical boldfacing
 {{strongbad}}  "Never use ..."  Same as {{strong}} but in red
 {{stronggood}}  "Only use ..."  Same as {{strong}} but in green
 {{em}}  "An emphatic phrase"  To indicate <em> stress emphasis (not just purely typographical italicization like for book titles or foreign terms)
 {{var}}  strPrefix  To indicate text is a variable name. Use for any variable names except those including "I" (uppercase i) and/or "l" (lowercase L); for these, {{var serif}} should be used to ensure a noticeable distinction
 {{var serif}}  strIllustratePrefix  (see {{var}} above)
 {{tld}}  {{DEFAULTSORT:Y, X}}  To display wikicode variables and magic words as they would appear in code
 {{para}}  |year=2008  To display template parameters with or without values
 {{param}}  {{{title|alt}}}  To display parameters as used in code (i.e. with triple braces), especially to indicate relationships between them. May be combined with {{para}} above
 {{tjp}}  |selfref=yes  To display template parameters with colors (as they would appear in the {{tj}} and {{tji}} templates)
 {{param value}}  ··2·blanks·fore·and·aft··  To display parameter values lightly bordered; replaces <code>...</code>, especially when value contains embedded or leading/trailing blanks; visualized here with middot (·) but can use ␠, ▯, or any character.
 {{tlx}} etc.  {{Template|1|2|...|10}}  To display a template call (with or without parameters and values) as code
 {{tji}}  {{hatnote|Hello|selfref=yes|category=no}}  To showcase with colors in horizontal format the syntax of any template, while providing an easy way to display placeholder texts using colons as separators
 {{tag}}  "The ‎<img>...‎</img> tags ..."  To render HTML elements ("tags") in prose
 {{code}}/{{codett}}  "Ensure the alt= parameter ..."  To indicate text is source code. To nest other templates within {{code}}, use ‎<code>...‎</code>. {{codett}} differs only in styling: someMethod becomes  someMethod
 Template loop detected: Template:Tls  {{small|small text}}  To wrap example code in <code><nowiki>...</nowiki></code>
 Template loop detected: Template:Tls  {{large|large text}}  To wrap example code in <kbd><nowiki>...</nowiki></kbd>
 {{syntaxhighlight}}      _{[this is a block template]}  ( or {{sxhl}} )  Wrapper for ‎<syntaxhighlight>...‎</syntaxhighlight>, but will wrap overflowing text
 {{deprecated code}}  "Do not use ‎<blink>."  ( or {{dc}} )  To indicate deprecated source code in template documentation, articles on HTML specs, etc. The {{dc2}} variant uses strike-through (‎<blink>) while {{dcr}} uses red (‎<blink>).
 {{pre}}      _{[this is a block template]}  For larger blocks of source code and other pre-formatted text
 {{tj}}      _{[this is a block template]}  To showcase with colors and multiple lines (vertical format) the syntax of any template, while providing an easy way to display placeholder texts using colons as separators
 {{quote}}      _{[this is a block template]}  For block quotations (only – never for non-quotations)
 {{block indent}}      _{[this is a block template]}  For indented blocks of material; visually identical to {{quote}} but without quote markup
 {{kbd}}  user input  To indicate user input
 {{key press}}  Ctrl+x  To indicate specific-keystroke input, including combinations

 {{samp}}  example output  To indicate sample or example output
