Template:Self-published source
From Vigyanwiki
Usage
{{Self-published source|date=November 2024}}
This is an inline citation cleanup template used inside <ref>...</ref> to flag a source as self-published and thus potentially unreliable, per WP:Verifiability#Self-published sources (WP:Identifying reliable sources#Self-published sources and WP:Neutral point of view are also relevant, but the link produced by the template goes to that section at the Verifiability policy).
To flag blocks of information as questionably sourced in this manner, use Template:Self-published inline, outside of <ref>...</ref>. For whole sections or articles, use Template:Self-published.
This template will categorize tagged articles into Category:Accuracy disputes (but see parameter below).
Parameters
|date=November 2024– Add the date, so that the article is categorized correctly. A bot may add this latter if you omit it, but the month will be that of the bot adding it, not the date it was originally added, if different.|reason=– a place for editors to explain why this source is believed to be self-published; displays as a tooltip.|expert=y– Suppresses Category:Accuracy disputes when the author is an expert, and the accuracy is not disputed; rather, a secondary source should be used if one can be found, to improve verifiability and reliability.|ABOUTSELF=y– Suppresses Category:Accuracy disputes when all of the material cited to the self-published source it covered by WP:ABOUTSELF policy (i.e., is permissible to source with primary sources, but ideally would be eventually cited to secondary ones).
