==Usage==
The {{tlx|page needed}} template, and its plural version {{tlx|pages needed}}, function as in-line requests for the specific citation of a page number, or numbers, in a cited work such as a book or journal. Do not use these tags to label citations to named entries in dictionaries or other alphabetically-arranged works with multiple entries per page, as the entry specified is already more specific than a page number. Do not use these tags 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.

{{Tlx|Page needed|date{{=}}{{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}}}

These tags will categorise tagged articles into [[:Category:Wikipedia articles needing page number citations]] or a dated subcategory thereof.

These [[Wikipedia:Template|templates]] are [[Wikipedia:Avoid self-references|self-references]] and so are part of the Wikipedia project rather than the encyclopædic content.

===Position===
