[who?]
Template documentationUsage
{{Who|{{subst:DATE}}}}
This tag is for placement after attributions to vague "authorities" such as "serious scholars", "historians say", "some researchers", "many scientists", and the like. For example:
| Markup | Experts{{Who|{{subst:DATE}}}} agree...
|
| Visual effect | Experts[who?] agree... |
Use it when no specific examples of identifiable individuals from that group are named who could be used to verify the statements or beliefs attributed to the group. Preferably the offending statement should be made more specific by identifying particular individuals and then either cited or tagged for needing citation. Similarly, the statement should be deleted if the claim about the group is sufficiently vague as to be unsupportable.
This tag will categorize tagged articles into Category:Articles with specifically marked weasel-worded phrases. This template is a self-reference and is part of the LIMSwiki project rather than the wiki content.
