| This is a documentation subpage for Template:Cite quote. It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
The {{cite quote}} template will automatically place tagged articles into Category:Articles with unsourced quotes.
Usage
{{Cite quote|date=December 2025}}
Use this inline template tag to label a quotation that is used without a citation. Per Wikipedia:Citing sources: "... quotations ... should be supported by citations ...."
Do not use this tag in order to label text which appears doubtful or false; instead, use use {{verify quote}}. If the doubtful material could be harmful in the biography of a living person (see this section of WP:3RR as well), simply delete the unsourced alleged quotation; do not just tag it as unsourced.
Regarding unsourced or poorly sourced information:
- If it is doubtful but unlikely to be harmful to the whole article, use a template like this to ask for source verification.
- If it is doubtful and potentially harmful, move the information to the talk page and ask for a source.
- If it is very doubtful and very harmful, remove the information immediately, without the need of moving it to the talk page first.
- If it is doubtful and potentially harmful with regard to a living person, remove the information immediately, without the need of moving it to the talk page first.
- If it is not doubtful, use {{Cite quote}} (or {{Citation needed}} for non-quotation material) to request a citation to improve the article's verifiability.
To find all the articles that use this template, please visit What links here. For articles which lack sources, please visit Category:Articles lacking sources.
