සැකිල්ල:Full citation needed/doc

This template is an alternative to {{Citation needed}}, for the cases where a reference is alluded to, or given in part, but not specified in enough detail. The factuality may or may not be in question; this template is just about the completeness of the citation.

For an article with numerous partial citations, consider instead the banner template {{Full citations needed}}.

Usage

• Nixon resigned August 9, 1974.<ref>''The New York Times''</ref>{{Full citation needed|date=මැයි 2024}}

  Result: Nixon resigned August 9, 1974.
