Template:User-generated inline
Usage
{{User-generated inline|date=June 2026}}
This is an inline template used to flag facts in an article as being cited to sources that user-generated content (e.g. other wikis, content farms, or user-editable databases like IMDb), and thus potentially unreliable, per WP:Identifying reliable sources#User-generated content (WP:Verifiability#Self-published sources and WP:Neutral point of view are also relevant, but the template's link to goes to that anchor at the reliable sources guideline).
This template will categorize tagged articles into Category:Accuracy disputes.
To flag citations themselves as being to such questionable sources, use Template:User-generated source, inside of <ref>...</ref>. For whole sections or articles, use Template:Self-published.
This template takes a compulsory parameter (which if not set by the editor will be set by a bot):
|date=date—in the format "Month Year" or "YYYY-MM-DD" etc.
If there is concrete proof that the source is user-generated, you can use a parameter to remove the "?" from the template's output:
|certain=yesor|certain=y
Redirects
- Any hyphenation will work:
{{user-generated content}}{{ugc}}{{UGC}}{{ugs}}
