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 {{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)
