If a reference needs a page number but it is missing, use <code>{{tlx|rp|needed=y|<nowiki>{{subst:DATE}}</nowiki>}}</code> or <code>{{tlx|rp|needed=y|date={{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}}}</code>. This will automatically use the {{tlx|page needed}} template to add the article to [[:Category:Wikipedia articles needing page number citations|the appropriate category]]. For example, <code><nowiki><ref group="b" name="Jackson 1999 ex. 1" />{{tlx|rp|needed=y|</nowiki>date=November 2012}}</code> results in: <ref group="b" name="Jackson1999">{{Cite book|last=Jackson|first=Jennifer|title=The Unlightable Being of Bareness|publisher=Funky Publications|location=[[San Francisco, CA]]|year=1999|isbn=1-2345-6789-0 |ignore-isbn-error=true}}</ref>{{fix|link= | If a reference needs a page number but it is missing, use <code>{{tlx|rp|needed=y|<nowiki>{{subst:DATE}}</nowiki>}}</code> or <code>{{tlx|rp|needed=y|date={{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}}}</code>.

This is preferable to something like <code>{{tlx|rp|page number?}}</code> or <code>{{tlx|rp|?}}</code>, since the cleanup categorization takes place. It is preferable to simply using {{tlx|page needed}} in articles that make use of {{tlx|rp}}, since it preserves the use of the {{tlx|rp}} syntax. | This is preferable to something like <code>{{tlx|rp|page number?}}</code> or <code>{{tlx|rp|?}}</code>, since the cleanup categorization takes place.

Do not nest the {{tlx|page needed}} template inside the {{tlx|rp}} template; doing so introduces a stray colon and the displayed results are too small to be legible to many readers. The result of this nesting is demonstrated in the following example: <code><nowiki><ref group="b" name="Jackson 1999" />{{tlx|rp|{{tlx|page needed|</nowiki>date=November 2012}}</code> results in the undesirable: <ref group="b" name="Jackson1999">{{Cite book|last=Jackson|first=Jennifer|title=The Unlightable Being of Bareness|publisher=Funky Publications|location=[[San Francisco, CA]]|year=1999|isbn=1-2345-6789-0 |ignore-isbn-error=true}}</ref>{{rp|{{fix|link= | Do not nest the {{tlx|page needed}} template inside the {{tlx|rp}} template; doing so introduces a stray colon and the displayed results are too small to be legible to many readers.
