→Journal and news usage: {{subst:DATE}} doesn't work inside <ref>
{{Documentation subpage}}
<!-- Categories go at the bottom of this page and interwikis go in Wikidata. -->
==Usage==
The {{tlx|Volume needed}} template functions as an in-line request for the specific citation of a volume and/or issue number in a serial publication such as a journal, newspaper or comic book. Do not use this tag in order to label statements which you suspect to be false. Instead, use a dispute template such as {{tlx|Dubious}}, or move those statements to the talk page and ask for evidence.
By default, it asks for both volume & issue number.
This tag will categorize tagged articles into [[:Category:Articles with unsourced statements]] but not this template itself.
This [[Wikipedia:Template|template]] is a [[Wikipedia:Avoid self-references|self-reference]] and so is part of the Wikipedia project rather than the encyclopedic content.
===Parameters===
* {{para|date|{{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}}} When the tag was added.
* {{para|issue|no}} or {{para|iss|no}} or {{para|i|no}} Used in the unusual case that an issue is specified but the volume is missing. Note that some publication do not use issue numbers, though this is uncommon. Any value will work, e.g. {{para|issue|false}} or {{para|i|0}}.
* {{para|volume|no}} or {{para|vol|no}} or {{para|v|no}} Used in the unusual case that an issue is specified but the volume is missing. Note that some publication do not have a volume number, though this is uncommon. Any value will work.
===Journal and news usage===
(In this example it is essentially flagging the fact that volume, issue number ''and'' month of publication are all missing, by including them as empty parameters that need filling; i.e., this example assumes that the original editor's citation omitted all of this information. Because of peculiarities of the {{tl|cite journal}} and {{tl|cite news}} templates, <span class="nowrap">{{tlx|volume needed}}</span> should go in those templates' <code>|issue=</code> field rather than <code>|volume=</code>, or it will be boldfaced.

===Comic book usage===
Usage with {{tl|Cite comic}} is the same as above, except {{tlx|volume needed}} '''must''' go in the <code>|volume=</code> field, or it will not be displayed, and the <code>|c=y</code> parameter & value must be added, so that flagged articles are categorized under [[:Category:Comics articles needing issue citations]] instead of the more general [[:Category:Articles with unsourced statements]]: {{tlx|volume needed|c{{=}}y|<nowiki>{{subst:DATE}}</nowiki>}}
