Swept in from the pub

I'm new to Wikivoyage, and I've seen some things labeled as [citation needed] but in most articles I don't see any citations. Do you cite or not? I'm a bit confused. I'm creating a new page. AtTheTownHouse (talk) 03:14, 16 May 2025 (UTC)Reply

We don't cite, as long as whatever mentioned in articles are factual. If you find certain things dubious in an article, either be bold enough to fix that yourself, or raise the issue at the talk page. However, if you find the issue unanswered, you can raise the same issue here as well. Sbb1413 (he) (talk • contribs) 03:28, 16 May 2025 (UTC)Reply

Welcome, AtTheTownHouse! And please link the articles where you're seeing a [citation needed] tag. That should never be in a destination article on this site. See Wikivoyage:External links for a fuller explanation of the guidelines here. Ikan Kekek (talk) 04:05, 16 May 2025 (UTC)Reply

To add onto what Ikan Kekek said, Special:AbuseFilter/70 (which is a public filter) will actively tag any edits that add references (with a few false positives, but it's tag-only). We really don't do any references here and they're often actively removed when spotted. //shb (t | c | m) 04:27, 16 May 2025 (UTC)Reply

I wonder if that filter could be expanded to tag any edits that contain the exact phrase "citation needed". WhatamIdoing (talk) 20:26, 16 May 2025 (UTC)Reply

Seems SHB did that addition. –LPfi (talk) 21:51, 16 May 2025 (UTC)Reply

Haha yeah, did so right before my earlier comment (04:23, May 16, 2025, UTC). //shb (t | c | m) 22:03, 16 May 2025 (UTC)Reply
