සැකිල්ල:No significant coverage
 |
Usage
[සංස්කරණය]{{No significant coverage|date=ඔක්තෝබර් 2024}}{{No significant coverage|find=World War II|find2=Mediterranean|date=ඔක්තෝබර් 2024}}
When to use this template
[සංස්කරණය]You should add this template to any articles that do not have any sources that plausibly contain significant coverage. For articles that relate to sports, the template {{No significant coverage (sports)}} should be used instead, as such articles are required to have such coverage by the NSPORTS general criteria #5.
Do not add this template:
- To articles that contain no sources. Instead, use the template
{{Unreferenced}}.
Alternatives:
- Be bold! Consider searching for sources and citing them in the article, instead of adding this template.
- In articles about people and businesses, consider using the more specific
{{Third-party sources}}template, to encourage citation of WP:Independent sources rather than the subject's own website. - See Wikipedia:Biographies of living people for guidance on dealing with under-referenced biographies of living people.
Parameters
[සංස්කරණය]There are four named parameters. All parameters are optional.
|date=– month name and year; e.g. 'ඔක්තෝබර් 2024' (no default)|find=– search keywords for {{find sources}} param 1 (double-quoted search); default: page title. See details below.|find2=– search keywords for {{find sources}} param 2 (unquoted search). Alias:unquoted. See below.|small=– set toleftorno; see details at Ambox. Default: standard-width banner.
Examples
[සංස්කරණය]{{No significant coverage|date=ඔක්තෝබර් 2024}}
or
{{subst:No significant coverage}}
Substitution of this template will automatically fill the date parameter.
The optional |find= parameter is available, for modifying the operation of the {{find sources}} links displayed by the template:
{{No significant coverage|find=search keyword(s)|date=ඔක්තෝබර් 2024}}
see below for details.
Details
[සංස්කරණය]Date parameter:
- The
|date=parameter is (generally[1]) used to indicate when the template was added to a page. An example of its usage is{{No significant coverage|date=ඔක්තෝබර් 2024}}. Adding this parameter sorts the article into monthly subcategories of Category:Articles lacking sources containing significant coverage, rather than adding it to Category:Articles lacking sources containing significant coverage itself, allowing the oldest problems to be identified and dealt with first. If the date parameter is omitted, a bot will add it later.
Find parameters:
- There are two 'find' parameters available to control the presentation and operation of the {{find sources}} links optionally displayed by the {{Unreferenced}} template. By default, the template displays {{find sources}} with a quoted search query equivalent to the exact article title. Sometimes, especially if the article has a long, descriptive title, or if it includes parenthetical disambiguation terms, this may not give useful results. The find parameters can be used to provide the search keywords of your choice to the {{find sources}} links. Use:
|find=to specify keywords for an exact search (double-quoted query); this corresponds to {{find sources}} positional param|1.|find2=to specify keywords for an unquoted search; this corresponds to {{find sources}} param|2. The alias|unquoted=may be used instead.
The value "none" may be passed to 'find' (|find=none) to suppress display of find sources links. (Note that specifying |find=none and a nonempty value for |find2= is not a valid combination.)
General information
[සංස්කරණය]This template can either be placed at the top of an article, at the bottom of the article page (in an empty "References" or "Notes" section—usually just before a {{Reflist}} template), or on the article's talk page.
Categorization
[සංස්කරණය]This template adds the article to Category:All articles lacking sources containing significant coverage and a monthly subcategory such as Category:Articles lacking sources containing significant coverage from ඔක්තෝබර් 2024 (as described above), which are hidden categories.
Differences from related templates
[සංස්කරණය]The similar template {{More citations needed}} adds an article to Category:Articles needing additional references. {{Unreferenced}} adds the article to Category:Articles lacking sources. {{More medical citations needed}} adds the article to Category:Articles needing additional medical references as well as Category:Articles needing additional references.

Footnotes
[සංස්කරණය]- ^ Because of the nature of the workflow using the current date makes sense, it is simpler to add, especially for the WP:bots it means that older dated categories do not have to be constantly created and deleted, and it enables some measure of progress. Moreover it is "good enough" to get the articles into the workflow and the intention is to ensure they are cleaned up eventually. Occasionally however it may be useful to bulk add items, to older categories, for example when the system was initially set up, when merging two schemes or when adding to the current month would swamp it disproportionately.
