Template:Verify
Purpose
To be placed directly after unconfirmed, unsourced statements that require original research (e.g. fact-checking through gameplay). If it's a statement that can cite a source, use Template:Fact instead.
Take for example the statement: "Bokoblins can wield Darknut Swords." If no reliable source can be found for this claim, it must be verified by either:
- testing the claim for oneself by playing the game
- finding an image or video that proves the claim.
Pages marked with this template are added to Category:Statements needing verification. Specific categories also exist for each game (see below).
