Unlike the template <span class="nowrap">{{</span><a href="/wiki/Template:Citation_needed" title="Template:Citation needed">citation needed</a><span class="nowrap">}}</span>, this template attaches explicitly to a portion of text, for example one or more specific sentences, by surrounding the text with the template.

This kind of use causes <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:LINT" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:LINT">linting errors</a> and may disrupt the page display.
