Lists specific unanswered questions on a Forever article and adds it to Project:Research tasks. An empty needs field produces no task. Remove resolved tasks after adding the supporting evidence to the article. This is a research request, not a statement that a mechanic exists.

Use the optional source_conflict parameter only for an explicitly documented unresolved disagreement. Describe the affected value and the competing evidence; cite those sources in the article. Generic missing evidence, an old review date, or the words “needs review” do not establish a conflict. Remove this parameter once the disagreement is resolved. A nonempty conflict keeps the article in the research queue even when needs is empty.

{{Research tasks|kind=Dungeon|needs=Entrance coordinates; Access requirements; Encounter mechanics}}

Use Dungeon, Item, Zone, NPC, Quest, Talent, Legacy perk, or Guide for the kind. Separate concise tasks with semicolons. The reference-detail link opens the existing page in its form; the evidence link edits the full article, including this task list. Only record a resolved task after confirming the cited source or reproducing the observation in the named Forever build.
