==Default and extended output:==
{{tlsc|RSIS}} will produce the high-use, sentence fragment, add-in text:
:..."<code>[[Wikipedia:Reliable sources|reliable]], [[WP:SECONDARY|secondary]], [[Wikipedia:Independent sources|independent]] sources</code>"...

{{tlsc|RSIS|'''''full<nowiki>=</nowiki>yes'''''}} will produce the more complete, sentence fragment, add-in text:
:..."<code>[[Wikipedia:Reliable sources|reliable]], [[WP:SECONDARY|secondary]], [[Wikipedia:Independent sources|independent]] sources that treat the topic in substantive detail</code>"...

==Purpose==
This template is intended to assist users at help forums, such as at Wikipedia's [[Wikipedia:Teahouse|Teahouse]], its [[Wikipedia:Help desk|help desk]], the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Articles for creation/Help desk|AfC help desk]], for replying to {{Tlx|Help me}} requests, or at user talk pages, etc., where explaining the fundamentals of using and citing the right types of sources, with the right depth of treatment of the topic in order to demonstrate [[Wikipedia:Notability|notability]], is needed.

The default and extended output are both '''''intentional sentence fragments''''', chiefly aimed at insertion in the ''middle'' of a tailored sentence, within a larger tailored post that you are composing, probably addressed to a new or inexperienced user, and its <u>''initial lowercase start''</u>, and <u>''lack of an ending period''</u> are, thus, also intentional. Tailor the surrounding text to the content and context of the specific use.

==Usage==
* This template should always be [[WP:SUBST|substituted]] by prefixing "subst:" inside the template code. Thus, use <nowiki>{{</nowiki>'''subst:'''<code><nowiki>RSIS}}</nowiki></code> or <nowiki>{{</nowiki>'''subst:'''<code><nowiki>RSIS|full=yes}}</nowiki></code>, rather than <code><nowiki>{{RSIS}}</nowiki></code> or <code><nowiki>{{RSIS|full=yes}}</nowiki></code>.

==Example usage==
<u>Typed text</u>:
* <code><nowiki>Your draft is unlikely to be accepted at this time because it does not demonstrate the [[WP:N|notability]] of the subject by [[WP:REFB|citing]] sufficient  {{RSIS|full=yes}}.</nowiki></code>

<u>Output</u>:
*Your draft is unlikely to be accepted at this time because it does not demonstrate the [[WP:N|notability]] of the subject by [[WP:REFB|citing]] sufficient [[Wikipedia:Reliable sources|reliable]], [[WP:SECONDARY|secondary]], [[Wikipedia:Independent sources|independent]] sources that treat the topic in substantive detail.
