Usage
[edit]{{Self-published inline|date=July 2026}}
This is an inline template used to flag statements with self-published sources such as a personal web page or a self-published book, which, due to the lack of oversight on such works, are therefore potentially unreliable.
When the template is added to a line of text in an article, the resulting clean-up tag links to the relevant policy page and section: Wikipedia:Verifiability § Self-published sources. (While Wikipedia:Identifying reliable sources § Self-published sources and WP:Neutral point of view are also relevant, the template does not create a link to them.)
This template categorizes its tagged articles into the maintenance category, Category:All articles with self-published sources, which is hidden in mainspace articles by a default setting in the user preferences. A logged-in user may view this and all other hidden categories by checking Preferences → Appearance → Advanced options → 
Show hidden categories.
Note: Use this template outside the <ref>...</ref> markup.
To flag an individual citation itself as being to such a questionable source, use Template:Self-published source, inside of <ref>...</ref>. For whole sections or articles, use Template:Self-published.
This template takes a compulsory parameter (which a bot will set if the editor doesn't):
|date=date—in the format "Month Year"
If there is no doubt at all that the source is self-published, you can use a parameter to remove the "?" from the template's output:
|certain=yesor|certain=y
