I hope nobody minds if I turn this into a general-purpose template, because it doesn't look like it's being used for comic books anymore. -- Xiaopo ʘ 20:11, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

Would anyone object if I created a specialised version of this template for references to the London Gazette (also including Edinburgh Gazette and Belfast Gazette). They've recently changed there website breaking all the old urls, and in the process changing from their web references just numbering pages within issues, to match the printed copies, where page numbering runs throughout the year, starting with page 1 in the first issue of each, and continuing regardless of issue. I'm planning to ask for a bot to be created to assist in managing sorting this out, and it would be useful to be able to place them into a specific sub-category.

using a # for number is not common in the UK. I suggest we replace it with either "no." or "num." -- Philip Baird Shearer ( talk) 11:28, 13 June 2008 (UTC)
The template says, "This tag will categorise tagged articles into Category:Wikipedia articles needing page number citations but not this template itself." But it doesn't seem to actually be working since there are no pages in the category. — Chris Capoccia T⁄ C 11:55, 22 December 2008 (UTC)
|cat=[[Category:Wikipedia articles needing page number citations]]

C 19:56, 22 December 2008 (UTC)Before making further changes to {{
page needed}}
, please ensure that they will not have any deleterious effect on {{
rp}}
. Also, if the output of the template is changed ("page missing", whatever), the category-free variant code used in
Template:Rp/doc to demonstrate examples of the visual appearance of output from {{
rp|needed=y|{{subst:DATE}}}}
will need to be adjusted to match. —

I think
link =
Wikipedia:Citing sources
should be changed to
link =
Wikipedia:Page numbers
.

The template needs an associated date.
The documentation should display an example incorporating the date=November 2012, as most other templates tend to do these days.

Shouldn't the template be placed inside the ref., rather than in the main article?
Markup | Renders as |

Not sure what to do in this situation. I'm tagged a few books that require a page number. An IP editor has suggested they don't require a page number, as they items are listed alphabetically. I took a gander at these books, and although some content in these books are more than one per page, I do not see harm in getting the page number as its not exactly obvious that in some books items are alphabetical. Is this for books with out page numbers specifically? (I have some of those!) Here is a sample of the books here, and here. The latter definitely does not have multiple listings per page, the first one, I dunno, maybe? I don't really see the benefit of this addition. Andrzejbanas ( talk) 08:23, 22 August 2018 (UTC)
Would it be ok to generalize this more and ask for specific urls instead of general websites? Bullenbeisser ( talk) 09:07, 28 December 2018 (UTC)
I've noticed that there are some year articles (such as February 26, 1942) using this template despite the fact that this template is meant to be used to indicate missing page number(s) in citations, not to indicate that a page for the particular event is needed. Is this count as a template misuse? I couldn't find any guidelines about year articles to use this template in this regard. NotCory ( talk) 04:06, 29 August 2020 (UTC)
Jonesey95, this template does not appear to have a category to track usage with invalid parameters (like {{
cn}}
). I would rather have a category than work from
this.

I made
an update to add param |time=yes
to accommodate AV media times. But I noticed after the fact, that {{
Time needed}} already exists as an independent template. Now I'm not quite sure whether to just back out my recent changes here, or merge them, and have {{
Time needed}} be a wrapper for this one, which I've already coded offline. I think I lean toward backing these changes out, but not sure what others think.

Modify "this change the" to "this changes the". Rutsq ( talk) 10:44, 30 October 2023 (UTC)
{{
Page needed|reason=...this change the...}}
, which would be fixed by editing the template's local transclusion at the article in question. —
