When to use

  • {{overcite}}
  • {{over-citation}}
  • {{citekill}}
  • {{refbomb}}
  • This template should be used only on articles that have sources.

    It may be used with {{refimprove}} or other check references templates. This template should not be used with stubs.

    This template should be used to indicate that there are an excessive number of citations in an article or section of an article. Such a large number of citations can be aesthetically unappealing and may make the article unreadable or may lead to confusion about what exactly each citation is used in support of.

    This template may be removed by anyone who fixes the problem with the excessive number of citations. {{Excessive citations inline|date=July 2024}}

    This template is used to address excessive "piling on" of citations for the same claim, per Wikipedia:Citing sources § Bundling citations (and Wikipedia:Citation overkill).

    Operation

    This template will categorise tagged articles into Category:Citation overkill and Category:Articles tagged with the inline citation overkill template, or the latter category's subcategories thereof.

    This template is a self-reference.

    This template should not be substituted.
