<!-- EDIT TEMPLATE DOCUMENTATION BELOW THIS LINE -->
This template will categorize tagged articles into [[:Category:All articles lacking reliable references]]. Add this template only after a good faith attempt to verify the reliability of the source in question.
This template takes three optional parameters:
* '''date''': which should be set to the month and year when the article was tagged. Use: {{tlx|Verify credibility|date{{=}}{{#time:F Y}}}}
* '''certain''': which if set to "y" or "yes" will remove the question mark from the template's output, noting a degree of certainty that the source is unreliable; please use this with the <code>reason</code> parameter (below): {{tlx|Verify credibility|certain{{=}}y|reason{{=}}{{var|1=your [[WP:RS]]-based reason here.}}}}
* '''reason''': A note explaining why you think the source is unreliable. It is not displayed in the article, only in the source code. Keep it short (one sentence); longer material belongs on the talk page. It is good to reiterate the reason in your edit summary.
For whole sections or articles, use {{tlx|refimprove}}.
For sources which have failed verification (at least as to the material being cited), use {{tlx|failed verification}}.
==Usage guidelines==
This tag is intended to be used when a statement is sourced, but it is questionable whether the source used is [[Wikipedia:Identifying reliable sources|reliable]] for supporting the statement.
This tag should not be used on contentious statements about [[Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons|living persons]]; if the source is not credible and reliable, the statement should be '''removed immediately'''.
The template should be placed outside the reference (<code><nowiki><ref> ... </ref></nowiki></code>), within the article's text:
:Potentially controversial statement.<code><nowiki><ref>some alleged source for this</ref>{{Verify credibility|date=</nowiki>{{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}}}</code> Next sentence.
==Shortcuts and aliases==
