The Verified text is linked to the page history, thus allowing users to know the details of all past edits including the verified markings and other edits. This template gives the assurance to new wiki users that someone else has used the instructions on the webpage successfully.

Wiki users are requested to add the Verified template on all pages they found to be correct. If quality issues are found, please add Accuracy, Obsolete or other relevant templates to the relevant section of the page.

Usage

If Add the template in the first line of the page before anything else, so that it appears prominently on the right hand side top corner below the Wiki Page tabs.

Reset number argument to 0, if major changes in webpage has occurred since the last verified update.
In all cases, mark the Wiki Edit summary as Content reviewed and verified for Version x.y.z., where the Version can be whatever is meaningful to the wiki page.
