This template also has several optional fields.
If you pass in an unnamed parameter, it specifies which part of the article inappropriately relies solely on primary sources. By default, the entire article needs third-party sources, i.e. it's equivalent to:
{{Primary sources|article}}
To be more specific on which section of the article needs third-party sources, use:
{{Primary sources|section about the childhood}}
This would show up as:
| This section about the childhood
needs
references
that appear in reliable third-party publications
.
Primary sources
or sources affiliated with the subject are generally not sufficient for a Wikipedia article. Please add more appropriate
citations
from
reliable sources
.
|
If you pass in a
|date=
parameter (
month year
), it sorts the article into subcategories of
Category:Articles lacking reliable references
and out of the parent category. This in turn allows the oldest problems to be identified and dealt with first. If the date parameter is omitted, a
bot
will add it later.
If you pass in a
|BLP=
parameter (with the value
yes
), it indicates that the article is a
biography of a living person
, and also sorts the article into subcategories of
Category:BLP articles lacking sources
. This serves to indicate a problem with the
policy on self-published sources in biographies of living persons
.
Note that order does not matter with respect to the above optional parameters. Both
{{Primary sources|section|date=??? ????}}
and
{{Primary sources|date=??? ????|section}}
will produce the same result.
{{Primary sources|BLP=yes|date=January 2011}}
