සැකිල්ල:සමුද්දේශ විරහිත/doc
This is a documentation subpage for සැකිල්ල:සමුද්දේශ විරහිත. It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original සැකිල්ල page. |
This template is used on a very large number of pages. To avoid large-scale disruption and unnecessary server load, any changes to this template should first be tested in its /sandbox or /testcases subpages or in your own user subpage. The tested changes can then be added to this page in one single edit. Please consider discussing any changes on the talk page before implementing them. |
This template is used by the standard installation of Twinkle. If you are planning to make major changes to this template or nominate it for deletion, please notify Twinkle's user base and maintainers at Wikipedia talk:Twinkle as a courtesy. |
This template should only be used on articles that have no citations or references at all. Don't add this template to articles that contain even one general reference, bare URL, or citation-containing footnote. A citation is any description of a reliable source that supports any of the article content. The format of the citation and the name of the section heading (e.g., ==External links==) are not what determines whether a link or citation is a source. |
Usage
[සංස්කරණය]{{Unreferenced|date=නොවැම්බර් 2024}}
{{Unreferenced|find=World War II|find2=Mediterranean|date=නොවැම්බර් 2024}}
When to use
[සංස්කරණය]You should only add this template to articles that contain no citations or references of any kind.
Do not add this template:
- In articles that have some citations, but not enough, the {{More citations needed}} template should be used instead as a general template, or the {{Unreferenced section}} template for individual sections that have no citations.
- In articles containing a list of sources at the end, but no inline citations, including parenthetical references or in-text attributions, consider {{no footnotes}} when the article would be significantly improved by detailed attribution of sources to specific claims.
- Watch out for lists of general references that someone has incorrectly listed under
==External links==
. If the link leads to a reliable source that supports some article content, then that website is a reference, not just an external link. - Other templates, listed below, should be used when the citations are inadequate for other reasons.
Use {{no footnotes}} | Add {{third-party}}, too | Use only {{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 unreferenced biographies of living people.
- Consider not adding this template to very brief stubs, since anyone visiting the page can see, in a single glance, that it contains no citations.
Parameters
[සංස්කරණය]There are six parameters, one positional, and five named parameters. All parameters are optional.
|1=
– scope of notification (e.g., 'paragraph', 'section', 'article', etc.) default: 'article'. see Details.|date=
– month name and year; e.g. 'නොවැම්බර් 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 toleft
orno
; see details at Ambox. Default: standard-width banner.|status=
– if set tohasaref
, alters the tracking category to Category:All articles possibly lacking sources
Examples
[සංස්කරණය]{{Unreferenced|date=නොවැම්බර් 2024}}
or
{{subst:Unreferenced}}
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:
{{Unreferenced|find=search keyword(s)|date=නොවැම්බර් 2024}}
see below for details.
To flag an individual section as being unreferenced, use the {{Unreferenced section}}
template, which categorizes more narrowly:
{{Unreferenced section|date=නොවැම්බර් 2024}}
Details
[සංස්කරණය]Positional parameter 1
- Positional parameter
|1=
is the 'type' parameter, which may be set to paragraph or section or any string value. To mark an unreferenced section of an article, please use {{Unreferenced section}} instead.
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{{Unreferenced|date=නොවැම්බර් 2024}}
. Adding this parameter sorts the article into monthly subcategories of Category:Articles lacking sources, rather than adding it to Category:Articles lacking sources 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:Articles lacking sources and a monthly subcategory such as Category:Articles lacking sources from නොවැම්බර් 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. {{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.
