Hi everyone.  I just wanted to advise everyone of a new template that's been added to the site. I was kinda shocked to note we didn't have a way to easily request a citation for a particular statement, and  thought it was weird that things like ''(source?)'' were appearing as normal text in some articles.  Now, you only have to type <nowiki>{{fact}}</nowiki> and you'll get a nifty lil thing that looks like this: {{fact}}

Spoilers are strongly policed here.
If this thread's title doesn't specify it's spoilery, don't bring any up.

I just wanted to advise everyone of a tiny new template that's been added to the site. I was kinda shocked to note we didn't have a way to easily request a citation for a particular statement, and thought it was weird that things like (source?) were appearing as normal text in some articles. Now, you only have to type {{fact}} and you'll get a nifty lil thing that looks like this: [source needed]

Articles so tagged will be added to a category that will centralize all articles needing further citation.

It's a pretty standard concept that appears across wikipedia and several wikis, but it's brand new here. If you want more details about how/when to use it in the context of this wiki, go to the template page. CzechOut | 10:25, 19 July 2008 (UTC)
