- {{vague}}
- {{verify credibility}} a.k.a. {{vc}}, {{rs}}
- {{verify source}} a.k.a. {{verification needed}}

- {{year}}
Meta-templates:
- {{fix}}‡ — used to create other such templates, consistently
- {{inline warning}} — used manually to provide a custom cleanup note
Deprecated (no longer used):
Noteworthy for features:
- {{vague}} — has feature where optional parameter becomes the mouseover/tooltip message
Needed:
- {{daymonth}} (for missing day, e.g. "November 2006" when not appropriate), to go along with {{fulldate}} and {{year}} ({{date}} and {{day}} already used for something else)
- Related software functions in Cite.php that aren't templates
- <ref ...>...</ref>
- <ref ... />
- <references />
- Non-superscripted
- Similar but out-of-scope (for now?)
A number of templates are, technically, used inline, but for purposes very different from those that concern this project (at present).
- {{tl}}, {{tlx}}, {{cl}}, {{ul}}, etc.
- {{sort}}, {{nts}}, {{TBA}}, etc.
- {{day}} and the like; DAB and other hatnote templates; {{seealso}}/{{further}}/{{main}}/{{cat main}} and other self-ref tags; numerous shortcut templates such as {{Shamos 1999}}; numerous other shortcut templates such as {{wc}}, {{cuegloss}}, etc.; language formatting templates; and others that are technically "inline" but don't have anything to do with maintenance or sources, and are not superscripted.
- {{inote}}
- {{sectstub}}‡ (recently converted to inline style, but not actually used inline)
- {{hcard-bday}}, {{hcard-geo}}, {{hcard-geo-title}}‡‡‡ – technically inline or part-inline, but do not serve functions similar to the templates this project is concerned about.
- {{cite journal}} family of ref. citation formatting templates
Problematic ones
- {{issue}} – same functionality as
{{issue needed|c=y}}, and name is too generic, because {{issue}} is entirely comic-books-specific (according to the doc page however the template itself is completely generic except for the category it adds).
- {{citation needed}} and {{request_quotation}} – should the latter be merged into the former?
- {{cref}}, {{hcref}}, {{cnote}}‡ — possible duplication with {{ref}} and {{scref}}; mouseover function of {{hcref}} appears to be broken, at least in Safari
- {{comic book reference}} — may have a stray period-space in it near end (flagged with HTML comment; needs testing)
- {{who}}, {{who?}}, {{WW}}, {{weasel-inline}}, {{weasel-name}}, {{views needing attribution}}, and userspaced variant {{User:Xiaphias/who}} may need to be merged; discussion here
- Cite.php's <references /> — indents for no reason, and worse yet indents to a depth that does not align with the
:* indentation used by {{note label}} references. There are a pair of templates, {{refbegin}} and {{refend}}, related to {{reflist}}, which solve this misalignment problem, to an extent (see "Option 3..." at Template:Refbegin documentation for usage), in that they match the <references /> indentation. They are untested with {{note label}}, but work fine with "* Reference details here"-style manually-added general sources in the References section. Recommendation: Have developers modify <references /> to not indent, or at worst to match ":"-level indentation, and modify {{refbegin}} and {{refend}} to conform.
Apparently resolved
- {{rf}}, {{ent}}‡ — do not match the formatting of other footnotes (no brackets); both totally undocumented
 Done – sort of. I added a smidge of documentation, but I suggest that these get marked as deprecated, and phased out. it's not a very versatile system.
New inline templates
Please feel free to list new inline templates here (newest at the top, please). It is advisable to propose new inline templates at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Inline Templates before creating them, so as to ensure that there is consensus that they are needed and will not unnecessarily overlap in function with others. Once templates have been checked for standard {{Fix}} usage, categorization in Category:Inline templates, and other issues, they should be moved to the main list, above.
- Created
- {{romanization needed}}, an inline template requesting a romanized transliteration or transcription.
- {{need-IPA}}. inline template for requesting IPA renderings.
- {{InlineXbeg}} and {{InlineXend}} – created in June 2008, in response to an inline template talk page discussion, here. a pair of templates designed to mark extended passages for attention with only a single tag at the end (avoiding chopping text to pieces).
- {{who?}} – Created by User:Danielfolsom to ostensibly return to original purpose, but dubious difference and a good merge candidate.
- {{Linkspam}} – inline template to flag linkspam.
- {{undue-inline}} – inline template to flag undue weight issues.
- {{speculation-inline}} – inline variant of {{speculation}}
- Discovered
- Note: Some of these likely should be deleted/merged.
- {{coord/display/inline}} — one of several subroutines of {{coord}}
- {{zh}} – Use this template to show a Chinese name, word, term or phrase in a line of text with various readings.
Problematic ones
- {{issue}} – same functionality as
{{issue needed|c=y}}, and name is too generic, because {{issue}} is entirely comic-books-specific.
- {{fact}} and {{Request_quotation}} – should the latter be merged into the former?
- {{cref}}, {{hcref}}, {{cnote}}‡ — ugly/weird format looks like nothing else on WP; mouseover function of {{hcref}} appears to be broken, at least in Safari
- {{comic book reference}} — may have a stray period-space in it near end (flagged with HTML comment; needs testing)
- {{who}}, {{who?}}, {{WW}}, {{weasel-inline}}, {{weasel-name}}, {{views needing attribution}}, and userspaced variant {{User:Xiaphias/who}} may need to be merged; discussion here

- Done {{disputed-inline}} may need to merge into {{dubious}}; both are merge tagged, with discussion here.
- Done {{wayback}}, {{waybackdate}} are flagged for merge.
