Usage[mali mi di yibu sheena n-niŋ]

Do not substitute this template.

The {{Original research span}} template may be used to nudge fellow editors who may inadvertently (or otherwise) introduce text that appears based upon original research, into supporting such text through demonstrating its previously researched origins. This template provides a good faith means for editors to allow given text of fellow editors to remain temporarily in a given article until such time as the text's previously researched origins are supported. In the event that researched origins for the text are not produced after a relatively small passage of time (i.e., no more than a few days), the tagging editor would generally be right in assuming that it could be edited or otherwise removed from the article to comply with Wikipedia:No original research. When a given editor adds this template they must concurrently add corresponding text to the tagged article's talk page to explain their concerns relative to original research for the given tagged text unless talk already exists relative to such concerns. If a given article has been tagged and the tagging editor doesn't ensure that corresponding article talk relative to the tag isn't either already available or added within a short amount of time (i.e., no more than 24 hours) then fellow editors are within their rights to remove the tag or alternatively, add talk in support of its use.

This template is an alternative to {{original research inline}} that attaches explicitly to a portion of text, for example one or more specific sentences, by surrounding the text with the template. This is especially useful for flagging a block of multiple facts or multiple sentences as possible original research, and for singling out a specific fact that may be based upon original research among many attributable ones. It will categorise tagged articles into Category:Articles that may contain original research. This template is a self-reference and so is part of the Wikipedia project rather than the encyclopedic content.

Avoid use for multiple paragraphs or around a list without closing and opening each template around each paragraph or list item. This kind of use causes linting errors and may disrupt the page display. An alternative with multiple paragraphs is {{Original research section}}.

Once the issue is resolved, please remove this template from the surrounded text.

{{original research span|date=Silimin gɔli May 2024|Passage(s) that may be based upon original research}}, or:
{{original research span|date=Silimin gɔli May 2024|text=Passage(s) that may based upon original research}}

The date is optional, so the minimal syntax is:

{{original research span|Passage(s) that may be based upon original research}}

Example of usage:

Material attributable to reliable sources. {{original research span|date=Silimin gɔli May 2024|Material possibly based upon original research.}} Material attributable to reliable sources.
