 | This is a documentation subpage for Template:Incomplete short citation. It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
This template is for use in articles where a short citation does not contain enough information to allow a reader to tell easily which long citation the short citation is referring to. For example, if there are two books in the references section by the same author, unless there is a year of publication of some other information in the short citation a reader will not know which book contains the cited information.
This is the sister template for {{full citation needed}} which used to request more details on a full citation. If all that is missing are page numbers then use {{page needed}} rather than this template.
