Template:Update needed/doc
 | This is a documentation subpage for Template:Update needed. It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
Purpose
This Update Needed template should be used on an article that has been suggested as missing information provided within a source or product not yet used within the article (and possibly currently under BattleIntelligence's moratorium policy).
- Do not add it to articles until after the moratorium period has passed as there is no reason why the missing information cannot be included in the article directly (instead of the tag).
- Refrain from adding this tag unless you are positively sure that the new source contains new, meaningful information on the subject at hand.
Usage
Cut and paste {{Update Needed|[[product article name]]}} into the top of the article.
If updates are needed from more than one source, up to 15 sources can be specified, separated by the | character.
{{Update Needed|[[Product article name 1]]|[[Product article name 2]]|[[Product article name 3]]|...}}
Examples
{{Update Needed|[[Handbook: Major Periphery States]]}}
Will display:
 | This template needs to be updated with additional information from the following sources: Handbook: Major Periphery States |
{{#set:Update Needed From=Handbook: Major Periphery States}}
Multiple sources
