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

{{Season needed}} will categorize tagged articles into Category:Articles with unsourced statements and Category:Articles that need an episode citation. Statements tagged with this template should be replaced with {{Cite episode}}. 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.
