This template is not necessarily an indication that the programming example is incorrect. Tasks which use words like "print", "show", and "display" are usually asking for textual output. It is good practice to show the output of a program whenever there is output. Sometimes it's required by the task as easy proof that the example works (that way people don't necessarily have to set up their system to run the example to see that it's correct).
Insert this message above a programming example using the text {{output?|lang}}, where lang is the programming language used. This will put the page in Category:Examples needing attention and Category:Lang examples needing attention. There is also an optional second argument which you can use to give additional reasons for using this template. The text in the second argument will appear in the box after the first sentence.
