Template documentation (for the above template, sometimes hidden or invisible)

This template marks a page whose game information needs a current, independent check. It adds the page to Category:Articles needing verification and links readers to WikiMinder's page-verification form. Usage Supply a concise but reproducible reason: {{Verify|In the current release, confirm the NPC's name, location, schedule, and services. Record the scene and coordinates tested.}} The reason is required editorially. Do not add a bare {{Verify}}; without a reason, players do not know what evidence will resolve the notice and WikiMinder can offer only a vague task. Writing a useful reason A good reason tells another player: what exact claim, field, item, NPC, recipe, location, or mechanic needs checking; how to check it in the game; what evidence to record, including the game release and exact subject tested; and whether the test is destructive, needs a particular station or tool, or requires repeated trials. Good: {{Verify|In the current release, confirm this vendor's scene, coordinates, inventory, and opening hours. Record the character name and scene instance tested.}} Too vague: {{Verify|Needs updating.}} {{Verify|Is this still true?}} Do not ask for evidence that cannot settle the claim. One salvage cannot establish a 50% chance, for example; ask contributors to report every trial. Do not turn an entire article into one unbounded task when separate, focused notices or fact-level checks would be clearer. After checking WikiMinder answers do not edit the article automatically. If the information changed, update the page from the evidence and leave the notice for an independent check of that edit. Remove the notice only when current evidence answers every point in its reason. If only part is settled, update the article and narrow the reason to what remains. An old source, populated infobox, or lastseen value is not by itself current verification. Use on templates When the uncertain wording is supplied by a template, place the notice inside <noinclude> so the maintenance banner and category stay on the template page rather than appearing on every transcluding article: <noinclude> {{Verify|In the current release, test the reusable claim and record the exact item and result.}} </noinclude> Reusable template output here. If a particular transcluding item is a useful test case, add a focused notice to that item page as well. Treat the old wiki content as a test lead, not proof. Parameter Parameter Required Description 1 Yes The specific current-release check and evidence needed to resolve the notice.
