Template:No sources
(Redirected from Template:Unsourced)
 | This article does not have any sources. (April 2024) |
When to use
You may add this template only to articles that contain no sources of any kind.
- Do not add this template
- In articles that have some citations, but not enough, the {{more sources}} template should be used instead as a general template, or the {{nosources section}} template for specific unsourced sections.
- In articles containing a list of sources at the end, but no inline citations, consider {{no footnotes}} when the article would be significantly improved by detailed attribution of sources to specific claims.
- Watch out for lists of general references that someone has incorrectly listed under ==Other websites==. If the link leads to a reliable source that supports some article content, then that website is a reference, not an external link.
- Other templates, listed below, should be used when the sources are inadequate for other reasons.
- Alternatives
- Be bold! Consider searching for references and adding them to the article, instead of this template.
- See Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons for guidance on dealing with unreferenced biographies of living people.
- Consider not adding this template to very brief stubs, since anyone visiting the page can see, in a single glance, that it contains no citations.
How to use
{{nosources | date = {{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}} }}
