The{{Which}} template is an in-line version of the{{Weasel}} template, used to tagweasel words. It is also a variant of the{{Who}} template for vague statements like "In some countries…" or "In some scientific publications…".
Use good judgment when deciding whether greater specificity is actually in the best interests of the article. Words likesome ormost are not banned and can be useful and appropriate. (SeeMOS:WEASEL.) If greater specificity would result in a tediouslaundry list of items with no real importance, then Wikipedia should remain concise, even if it means being vague. If the reliable sources are not specific – e.g. if they say only "In some countries..." – then Wikipedia must remain vague.
You may use either of the following formats:
{{which|{{subst:DATE}}}}or
{{which|date=December 2025}}This template will place articles intoCategory:Articles with specifically marked weasel-worded phrases.
