Template:Primarysources
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
- This template will categorize tagged articles into Category:Articles lacking sources.
- This template is a self-reference, and thus is not appropriate for Wikipedia:Subst.
- There is currently no consensus on where on the article to place templates such as this.
[edit] Usage
This template also has two optional fields.
The first permits the user to specify whether the entire article or a specific section inappropriately relies solely on primary sources. For instance, if the entire article needs third-party sources, a user would enter {{primarysources|article}}; but should the user wish to be more specific on which section of the article needs third-party sources, then the user could enter {{primarysources|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 new (as of November 2006) parameter sorts the article into subcategories of Category:Articles lacking sources and out of the parent category, 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 {{primarysources|section|date=April 2007}} and {{primarysources|date=April 2007|section}} will produce the same result.
