Template:Season needed

Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

This template functions as an in-line request for the specific citation of a season/series and episode number of a television or radio series.

This tag will categorize tagged articles into Category:Articles with unsourced statements (and in the future, possibly a more specific subcategory) but not this template itself. Do not use this tag in order to label statements which you suspect to be false. Instead, move those statements to the discussion page and ask for evidence.

This template is a self-reference and so is part of the Wikipedia project rather than the encyclopedic content.

{{season needed|date=October 2025}}
