Template:More sources
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This article or section needs additional references or sources to improve its verifiability. It may be using the words or ideas of other publications in its text, without citing the source(s) of the information. Please help improve this article by introducing appropriate citations. (help) |
There is currently no consensus on where to place this template in an article.
This template will categorize tagged articles into Category:All articles lacking sources and either Category:Articles lacking sources or a monthly category like Category:Articles lacking sources from March 2007, if a date is supplied.
The simplest way to add this template to an article is to copy and paste {{more sources|article|date=March 2007}} at the top of the article.
- This template is a self-reference.
- Please do not subst: this template.
[edit] Usage
This template also has two optional fields.
The first permits the user to specify whether the entire article or a specific section needs additional sources. For instance, if the entire article needs additional sources, a user would enter {{more sources|article}}; but should the user wish to be more specific on which section of the article needs additional sources, then the user could enter {{more sources|section called "Childhood"}}. Leaving the parameter undefined is acceptable, as it will print out the default text "article or section".
The second field is a date parameter, entered as "date=month year". Adding this sorts the article into subcategories of Category:Articles lacking sources, allowing the oldest problems to be identified and dealt with first. If the date parameter is omitted, a bot will add it later.
Note that order does not matter with respect to the above optional parameters. Both {{more sources|section|date=March 2007}} and {{more sources|date=March 2007|section}} will produce the same result.
