"Template:Page number" මෙතැනට යළියොමුවෙයි. the template to add a page number in superscript සඳහා, Template:Rp බලන්න.
This template may be added after an in-line citation that is not precise enough to easily verify the article content associated with it; for example, where a book is cited without a page number.
This template is a self-reference and therefore part of the Wikipedia project rather than the encyclopædic content.
Placement
Put the template directly after the associated </ref> tag.
When to use
The {{Page needed}} template, and its plural version {{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.
In the case of audiovisual media, you may use this template with parameter |time=yes to generate the appropriate text; see § Parameters. The use of template {{Cite AV media}} without a timestamp (i.e., missing the |time= parameter) is an indication that use of this template may be appropriate.
When not to use
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; in this case, use a dispute template instead, such as {{Dubious}}, or move those statements to the talk page and ask for evidence.
Parameters
There are three named parameters, all optional:
|date= – date of placement; a bot will add this later if omitted
|reason= – to override the default value shown in the tooltip
|time=yes – this change the superscript note to 'timestamp needed' instead of 'page needed' (and also changes the default tooltip reason similarly)
Details
reason : Although usually the template is self-explanatory, there are times when it is helpful to provide an extra reason or note to explain the request:
{{Page needed|reason=What the problem is}}
This is preferable to using an HTML <!-- comment --> after the tag, as it is tidier to keep all of the {{page needed}}-related code inside the template. If the explanation would be lengthy, use the article's talk page.
As well as being visible in the source code for editors' benefit, the reason parameter is, if provided, displayed in many browsers as a tooltip when the mouse is hovered over the "page needed" link in the article. Long-press to view the tooltip on some mobile devices.
time : Use only for audiovisual media that lacks a timestamp. Audio files, video or clips, podcasts, films, and so on may benefit from use of |time=yes following a citation like {{Cite AV media}}.
