ಟೆಂಪ್ಲೇಟು:Unreferenced/ವಿವರಣೆ

This template should be used only on articles that have no sources at all. Don't add this template to articles that contain even one general reference, parenthetical reference, or citation-containing footnote.

Alternatives:

In articles that have some sources, but not enough, the {{Refimprove}} template should be used instead.
In articles containing a list of sources at the end, but no inline footnotes or parenthetical references, consider {{No footnotes}} when the article would be significantly improved by detailed attribution of sources to specific claims.
Other templates, listed below, should be used when the sources are inadequate for other reasons.
Be bold! Consider searching for references and adding them to the article, instead of this template.
Consider not adding this template to short articles consisting only of a definition or common knowledge. However, direct quotations and material that is likely to be challenged should have explicit sources provided (see Wikipedia:Verifiability).
See Wikipedia:Biographies of living people for guidance on dealing with unreferenced biographies of living people.

ಬಳಕೆ

This template should not be substituted (subst:).

{{Unreferenced|description|date=ಡಿಸೆಂಬರ್ ೨೦೨೪}}

There are three optional parameters:

Description field: The optional description field is used to indicate more specifically what should be referenced. An example of its usage is {{Unreferenced|article's section called "Childhood"}}. The description field is commonly omitted, which is acceptable, and the information box displayed in an article would then read "This article does not cite any references or sources." If a description is supplied, the word article in the information box is replaced with the description; for the example just given, the information box would read "This article's section called 'Childhood' does not cite any references or sources."
Date parameter: The date parameter is (generally^[೧]) used to indicate when the template was added to a page. An example of its usage is {{Unreferenced|date=ಡಿಸೆಂಬರ್ ೨೦೨೪}}. Adding this parameter sorts the article into monthly subcategories of ವರ್ಗ:Articles lacking sources, rather than adding it to ವರ್ಗ: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.
Auto parameter: The auto parameter is only added by bots and used to suppress visibility of the template when added by a bot. This parameter was added for compatibility with {{Unreferenced stub}}, which was merged into this template. Bots that added {{Unreferenced stub}} to stub articles included "auto=yes" by default. This parameter should be removed after an editor has checked that the tag hasn't been placed in error.

The optional fields can be used together, and placed in any order. For example, both {{Unreferenced|article's section called "Childhood"|date=ಡಿಸೆಂಬರ್ ೨೦೨೪}} and {{Unreferenced|date=ಡಿಸೆಂಬರ್ ೨೦೨೪|article's section called "Childhood"}} have the same effect:

General information

This template can either be placed at the bottom of the article page (in an empty "References" or "Notes" section—usually just before a {{Reflist}} template), or at the top of an article, or on the article's talk page.

Categorization

This template adds articles to ವರ್ಗ:Articles lacking sources, a hidden category, unless "section" is specified, when it uses ವರ್ಗ:Articles needing additional references.

Differences from related templates

The similar template {{Refimprove}} adds an article to ವರ್ಗ:Articles needing additional references.

↑ 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.
