Usage
This template is intended to be placed at the top of articles about living persons that need additional references, and are therefore in need of immediate attention. If the article is not about a living or recently deceased subject, you may wish to use {{More citations needed}} instead.
Please add a date parameter. Adding a date parameter sorts the article into subcategories of Category:BLP articles lacking sources and out of the parent category, allowing the oldest problems to be identified and dealt with first.
Finally, if the article has a defaultsort, this is used for these categories as well. Otherwise, it is sorted on the first word (usually the first name).
Parameters
date = August 2024- required parameter, will be added by botreason = text- optional parameter which appends advisory text
The following parameter is obsolete: |suffix= (simply use the first unnamed parameter).
Examples
- Paste-ready example:
{{BLP sources|date=August 2024}} - Example with reason:
{{BLP sources|date=August 2024|reason=}}
This template can be used with a "section" parameter to tag specific sections:
{{BLP sources|section|date=August 2024}}
