You may append a date to the template in the following format:
{{According to whom|date=August 2024}}
The template may also be used to highlight the questionable passage in the text:
{{According to whom|water, cream cheese}}
and potato salad." producesThis tag is for placement after mention of a vague, third-party claim that is not sourced, such as "considered", "noted as", "nicknamed", "lauded as the world's [best/largest/finest/etc.]", "labeled", and the like.
Use this tag when no specific examples of identifiable individuals or groups are named who could be used to verify the statements or beliefs that appear in the tagged passage of the article.
Do not use this tag for material that is already supported by an inline citation. If you want to know who holds that view, all you have to do is look at the source named at the end of the sentence or paragraph. It is not necessary to inquire "According to whom?" in that circumstance.
This tag will categorize tagged articles into Category:Articles with specifically marked weasel-worded phrases.
