Marks a section as this wiki's own first-hand work โ€” bench measurements, teardowns, decoded error codes, 3D-printed replacement parts and similar โ€” 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.
