If you prefer to work only with inline calls, or you want to tag the problem lines, enter {{Timefact}} in the body of an article as a request for other editors to find sources for verifying the chronology, timeline and dates provided as reference in the content. It will display: [chronology citation needed].
If the missing citation refers to lineage or historical claims, you may use
Usage
- Use {{Timefact}} to label a statement which lacks a source confirming or providing its chronology or timeline as per Wikipedia:Citing sources

- In the sentence "that organization was founded in 1978 when the natural disasters had increased..."
- In the sentence "those celtic tribes survived more than one invasion...":
Category
Placing any of these tags will add the article to the category Articles lacking chronology/history sources
Edit summary
- When adding the {{histref}} template, you can use the following edit summary: This article needs sources for its chronology/history information. See [[WP:TIMETRACE]].
- When actually adding sources, you can use: Adding chronology/history sources. [[WP:TIMETRACE|You can help!]]
Tag for later view
To only mark up for later view and the article to the category Articles waiting for chronology/history evaluation, just add at the bottom of the article {{histrefeval}}
Tag for completed task
When the article has been improved in a satisfactory manner, you must remove the "request for chronology/history sources " tag and leave instead, at the foot of the article {{histrefverif|the date goes here}}, which will add the article to the category Category:Articles evaluated by WP Timeline Tracer.

Just place {{WikiProject Timeline Tracer Invitation}} as a message, followed by your signature. It will display
