Template for facts which need verification. If used with a timestamp, it alerts users of overdue verifications (after 4 weeks) by changing displayed text and adding Category:Verification overdue to the page. Once overdue, if it cannot be verified, the unverified information can be removed. In the case of dialogue, the file may not have been added yet. Do not remove in this instance. If the citation or needed information is added, the template can be removed.

{{Verify|~~~~~|type=}}
