This page is a template and should only be used as part of other articles. For more information, read Help:Template.

This "verified" template is meant to capture the correctness of the instructions on a wiki page by marking the page as verified working. Clicking on the Verified text will show the page history allowing the users to know when and how many times the page was last used successfully.

Usage

Wiki users are requested to add the below template on any page to indicate the correctness of that page. Place it at the first line of the page, so that it appears prominently on the right hand side top corner below the Wiki Page tabs.

Please increase the number argument so it acts a manual counter and triggers a non-intrusive update in the page history without changing the page content. Mark the Edit summary as Content reviewed and verified.

Examples

{{Verified|1}}

will produce:

Verified
