analysis, evaluation, interpretation, or synthesis
 | This is not an article template, but used only in talk page and noticeboard discussions. (Technically, it could be used in the |reason= or similar parameter of a dispute template, if it displays such a customizable message.) |
Usage[edit]
This is a shortcut template for generating a link to the secondary sources sub-policy of WP:No original research, useful when it's necessary to give a reminder that only secondary sources can be used for any WP:AEIS: analysis, evaluation, interpretation, or synthesis of the facts, evidence, concepts, and ideas taken from primary sources. It saves a lot of typing.
