Quite recently this template has been put on articles just because there are no sources on them, including articles such as Ditto and Spiky Skellobait that don't actually need sources for any of their content as they are easily viewable in-game. For this proposal I'm proposing two options:

• Delete - We already have Template:Ref needed to be put on a specific section in the article, making this template a bit redundant.
• Be more specific - Similar to this proposal, what exactly needs references must be specified in the template when putting it in the article. A parameter for this will still need to be added.

1. Koopa con Carne (talk) If you need to specify what needs a citation, you're better off just making use of {{ref needed}}.
2. Ahemtoday (talk) Per Koopa con Carne.
3. MegaBowser64 (talk) Per KCC

Be more specific

1. Nightwicked Bowser (talk) My preferred choice
2. Super Mario RPG (talk) I was confused about the template's intended purpose. This will help prevent potential misuse of the template.
3. Hewer (talk) This template is copied verbatim from Wikipedia, which is strange since this wiki needs far fewer citations than Wikipedia does, and only needs them in specific circumstances where the information is hard to verify. So this template should only be used if the citation-needing information can actually be specified.
