This template functions as an in-line request for the specific citation of a page number or page numbers in a work such as a book or journal. Do not use this tag to label statements which you suspect to be false. Instead, move those statements to the discussion page and ask for evidence.
This tag will categorise tagged articles into Category:Wikipedia articles needing page number citations or a dated subcategory thereof.
This template is a self-reference and so is part of the Wikipedia project rather than the encyclopædic content.
