==Usage==
This is an inline template used to flag statements with self-published sources such as a personal web page or a self-published book, which, due to the lack of oversight on such works, are therefore potentially unreliable.
When the template is added to a line of text in an article, the resulting clean-up tag links to the relevant policy page and section: [[WP:Verifiability#Self-published sources|Wikipedia:Verifiability § Self-published sources]]. (While [[WP:Identifying reliable sources#Self-published sources|Wikipedia:Identifying reliable sources § Self-published sources]] and [[WP:Neutral point of view]] are also relevant, the template does not create a link to them.)
This template categorizes its tagged articles into the [[WP:PROJCATS|maintenance category]], [[:Category:Accuracy disputes]], which is [[Help:Hidden category|hidden]] in [[Wikipedia:Mainspace|mainspace]] articles by a default setting in the user preferences. A logged-in user may view this and all other hidden categories by checking Show hidden categories on the Appearance tab of [[Special:Preferences|Preferences]].
'''Note:''' Use this template {{em|outside}} the {{tag|ref}} markup.
To flag an individual citation itself as being to such a questionable source, use [[Template:Self-published source]], {{em|inside}} of {{tag|ref}}. For whole sections or articles, use [[Template:Self-published]].
This template takes a compulsory parameter (which a bot will set if the editor doesn't):
*{{para|date|''date''}}—in the format "''Month Year''" or "''YYYY-MM-DD''", etc.
If there is no doubt at all that the source is self-published, you can use a parameter to remove the "?" from the template's output:
*{{para|certain|yes}} or {{para|certain|y}}
== Redirects ==
* Any hyphenation will work:
** {{tlx|Self published inline}}
** {{tlx|Self published-inline}}
** {{tlx|Self-published-inline}}
* {{tlx|Sps}}
== See also ==
* {{tl|Self-published source}} – a similar inline template for flagging the citation itself as being to a self-published source (use inside <nowiki><ref></nowiki>)
* {{tl|User-generated inline}} – a similar inline template for flagging facts in the article as being reliant on a user-generated source or sources (use outside <nowiki><ref></nowiki>)
* {{tl|User-generated source}} – a similar inline template for flagging the citation itself as being to a user-generated source (use inside <nowiki><ref></nowiki>)
* {{tl|Self-published}} – an article- or section-level banner for self-published sourcing
* {{tl|User-generated}} – an article- or section-level banner for user-generated sourcing
* {{tl|Primary source inline}} – a similar inline template for flagging inappropriate use of a [[WP:PRIMARY|primary source]]
* {{tl|Primary sources}} – an article- or section-level banner
* {{tl|Third-party}} or {{tl|third-party inline}}, when an independent or third-party source is needed
* {{tl|Tertiary source inline}} – a similar inline template for flagging inappropriate use of a [[WP:TERTIARY|tertiary source]]
* {{tl|Tertiary}} – for noting a citation to a tertiary source that does not sufficiently or at all cite its own sources (use inside <nowiki><ref></nowiki>)
