This template functions as an in-line request for the specific citation of a time (start time or time range) in an audio-visual work such as a sound recording or film.
Do not use this tag in order to label statements which you suspect to be false. Instead, move those statements to the discussion page and ask for evidence.
Usage
[edit]This tag will categorise tagged articles into Category:Wikipedia articles needing time reference citations.
This template is a self-reference and so is part of the Wikipedia project rather than the encyclopædic content.
