== Usage ==
This [[Wikipedia:Template messages|template]] is used in articles to indicate [[Wikipedia:Citing sources|inline citations]] that link to [[WP:NOTRS|insufficiently reliable sources]]. Placed after the source in question, it produces a superscripted notation like this:

{{divbox|1=white|3=
Most people believe in ghosts.<sup>[[#Fakeref1|[1]]]</sup>{{Better source needed}}

;References

:{{anchor|Fakeref1}}1. {{cite AV media|title=John Marston (June 22, 2015) "What You Need To Know About Ghosts" ''Ghostbusters.com''}}
}}

To do this, place the template outside the ref tags, like this: {{clear}}<code><nowiki><</nowiki>ref<nowiki>></nowiki>[...body of reference...]<nowiki><</nowiki>/ref<nowiki>></nowiki>{{Tlx|Better source needed}}</code>

You can also include a {{para|reason}} note, which displays as a tool tip upon mouse hover, to describe the issue to interested readers and to leave a record for future editors. For example, the following usage might be appropriate to the arguable claim that "Most people believe in ghosts...":

: {{Tlx|Better source needed|reason{{=}}Citation is the Ghostbusters' company website, which may not be entirely objective. |date{{=}}{{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}}}

General template for copy-pasting: 

: {{Tlx|Better source needed|date{{=}}{{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}}}

Adding this template to an article places the article into [[:Category:All articles lacking reliable references]] or one of its dated subcategories, all part of a collection of categories identifying articles with reliable-sourcing issues. To find all such articles, see [[:Category:Wikipedia articles with sourcing issues]].

=== When not to use ===
Contentious material about [[Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons|living persons]] that is unsourced or poorly sourced should be '''removed immediately'''. Do not tag it: remove it. For more information, see the section on [[WP:BLPREMOVE|contentious material]] in the Biography of Living Persons policy.

Material which is doubtful and harmful may be removed immediately, rather than tagged. See [[Wikipedia:Citing sources#Unsourced material|Wikipedia:Citing sources § Unsourced material]].

If no citation is given, use the {{Tlx|Citation needed}} tag instead. If the source given is self-published, use {{tlx|Self-published inline}}. If you think the author has a conflict of interest or is otherwise too close to the subject, use {{Tlx|Third-party inline}}. If the source has been surpassed by a newer, reliable publications that no longer support the claim in the article, use {{tlx|Obsolete source}}.

If you have the time and ability to find a better reference, please do so. Then correct the citation yourself, or correct the article text. After all, {{strong|the ultimate goal is not to merely identify problems, but to fix them}}.
