Some dubious claim.
This claim needs a reliable source
Usage
{{Citation needed}}{{Citation needed|date=February 2026}}{{Citation needed|reason=This claim is dubious}}{{Citation needed|date=February 2026|reason=This claim is dubious}}
In all these cases, {{Citation needed... can be substituted with {{cn.... E.g.:
{{cn}}{{cn|date=February 2026}}- etc.
NOTE: The arguments (i.e.
dateandreason) must be in that order.
They're both optional, but if you're including them both, then it's date first, and reason second.
If you don't include a date, no date will be defined, and if you don't provide a reason, the default reason will be "This claim needs a reliable source".
Note to any editors
For the life of me I couldn't get this to work 100% properly
