[edit] Name change

Hello,

It would be nice if this template were called 'Unreferenced sect', 'Unreferenced-sect', or even better, 'Unreferenced section'. --Hdante 04:00, 21 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Changing the format

I have changed the format so it looks more like Template:Unreferenced because it did not appear salient enough and blending into the text of the article. Zzyzx11 (Talk) 05:45, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Article and section "references needed" template

For an "article and section" references needed template, see Template:Unreferenced. For an alternative section references template (possibly to be deleted soon), see Template:Unreferenced-section. Carcharoth 11:07, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Redundancy

This template seems almost identical to {{Unreferenced}}. I'm going to make the page redirect there. If there is a reason why this should not be done, just revert me.--HereToHelp 19:39, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] too much on template

I removed some of the information about more sources, because the template had too much on it.--Sefringle 03:14, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Template needs talk page link!

The template needs a link to a certain talk page section where the unverified-problem is discussed. It is not always obvious what citations are reasonable and what can be cited. A poem for example, cannot be checked for factual accuracy, and factual accuracy is often irrelevant for TV-serieses and arts. Even citations must have a rationale!

  • See Template_talk:Unreferenced#editprotected the unreferenced templates do not require a talk page message. WP:V clearly requires ALL articles to be referenced. a section of the article either has references or not, an editor may chose to make comments or not, and an editor may chose to add, remove or change templates as they beleive is correct.

[edit] Remove Icon

I removed the icon, this allows the template to be a line shorter and also is keeping with the lack of consensus to include icons on unreferenced templates. See Template_talk:Unreferenced#Icon, Wikipedia_talk:Template_messages/Cleanup#Use_of_icons and Template_talk:Unreferenced#Image_and_Box_Formatting. Jeepday (talk) 13:22, 18 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Deprecated

Why is this template deprecated suddenly? Rich Farmbrough, 12:37 8 September 2007 (GMT).


It is not depreciated. Some one made a suggestion at Wikipedia_talk:Template_standardisation#Consolidate_article_section_list_etc_into_one_template that it was because you could in theory use {{Unreferenced|section}} instead of {{Unreferencedsection}} it was pointed out that will not work because They put articles into different categories. Someplace durring that time the template deprecated got placed and removed. It looks like you just replaced it while doing some maintance? Would you please re-remove it? Jeepday (talk) 12:54, 8 September 2007 (UTC)
I reverted the change to {{Unreferenced|section}}... So now I've removed the deprecated tl too. Rich Farmbrough, 15:17 8 September 2007 (GMT).

[edit] Recent changes

How come this template now appears on the left of the page, and has no border per the examples on WP:TR? It's pretty much blending into the background how it is right now. Miremare 00:19, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

Some hours ago we added new CSS code to MediaWiki:Common.css for a new article message box style. And now we started to update all the boxes to the new style. We = Wikipedia:Template standardisation. You seem to still have the old "Common.css" cached in your browser. (I know we should have waited 24 hours...) You need to bypass your browser's cache to see the changes. Mozilla/Firefox: hold down Shift while clicking Reload (or press Ctrl-Shift-R), Safari: press Cmd-Opt-E, Internet Explorer: press Ctrl-F5, Opera/Konqueror: press F5.

Ah thanks, that's much better! Nice templates, by the way. :) Cheers, Miremare 01:03, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Is it time to add an icon?

A conversation has been started at Template talk:Unreferenced#Is it time to add an icon? to consider adding an icon to the {{unreferenced}} family of templates, including this template. Jeepday (talk) 13:49, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Format

I noticed that when a date is used with the {{unreferenced}} template, it puts the date in the first line of text, but in {{unreferencedsection}}, it puts it in the second line. I'm going to try to change {{unreferencedsection}} so that the two will be the same. Crossing my fingers that I don't break anything. — NRen2k5, 17:20, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

Woo! One minor edit and a browser cache wipe later: mission accomplished! — NRen2k5, 17:37, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] What to do with it?

What do we do with material that has been marked for a long time? This is not very clear. --Nathanael Bar-Aur L. (talk) 02:53, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

If it's anything controversial, why not remove it? Shawnc (talk) 08:44, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Few

We need a template for sections with one minor statement sourced; no sources can be tagged with {{unsourced|section=yes}}. Septentrionalis PMAnderson 18:44, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

If there is another one, please let me know and update the documentation on Template:Unsourced. Septentrionalis PMAnderson 20:10, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
