{{Which/doc}} is a template that puts a small, in-line message in the body of text which asks the question "which?". It's used when statements are vague, in order to get some sort of greater precision.
For instance, you might consider using this template in situations like these:
- Several incarnations[which?] of the Doctor liked cricket.
- A few planets[which?] disagreed with the Federation's ambitions.
- Two models of K9[which?] had the ability to levitate.
This wiki has a number of templates which put small, inline statements within the body of articles that seek specific improvements in articles. These include:
- Attribution request templates
- Categorised into articles with statements that need more specific attribution
- Primary documentation at {{says who}}
- These all do the same thing, but put different, contextually-appropriate phrases into the body of the article:
- Clarification request templates
- Categorised into articles with statements that need clarification
- This indicates that a statement, as worded, makes so little sense that you can't figure out how to improve it. It's not meant as a statement of incredulity. You're not saying with this that you don't believe the statement. You're saying that it's so poorly written that you have no idea what the statement means.
- {{what}}
- Source request templates
- Categorised into articles needing citation
- These templates challenge the veracity of a statement, to one degree or another, by indicating that the statement needs better sourcing:
- {{fact}} or {{source}}
- {{disputed}}
- {{facts}}, categorised into articles needing additional citations
