Usage[edit]
This template is intended to be placed at the top of articles about living persons that need additional references, and therefore in need of immediate attention. If the article is not about a living or recently deceased subject, you may wish to use {{Refimprove}} 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[edit]
date = December 2024- required parameterreason = text- optional parameter which appends advisory text
Examples[edit]
- Paste-ready example: {{BLP sources|date=December 2024}}
- Example with reason: {{BLP sources|date=December 2024|reason=}}
This template can be used with a "section" parameter to tag specific sections: {{BLP sources|section|date=December 2024}}
