Template:Circular/doc

This template indicates that the article, itself a part of Wikipedia, cites sources that take information from. Presumably this would be placed at the top of an article.

Usage
This template also includes support for using the date parameter. Adding this parameter sorts the article into subcategories of Category:Articles lacking reliable references and out of the parent category, allowing the oldest problems to be identified and dealt with first. A bot will add this parameter if it is omitted. Be careful not to abbreviate the date, because then it will automatically add a redlinked category instead of the correct category. The simplest way to use this parameter manually is  but it can be done more explicitly as   (both result in the same output). Do not use  as   includes the leading.

Listed below are four examples of usage:
