Marks a section as this wiki's own first-hand work — bench measurements, teardowns, decoded error codes, 3D-printed replacement parts and similar — where no external citation exists because the wiki is the primary source.
Use it so that genuinely original work is not mistaken for uncited prose during a verification pass.
Usage:
{{Original research}}
{{Original research|Measured across eleven machines between 2024 and 2026.}}
Do not use this to excuse a claim you simply could not source. If a fact came from somewhere else, cite it; if it cannot be verified, remove it.
