<big>'''This template should be used only on articles that have no sources at all.'''</big><br />
<br />
'''Alternatives:'''<br />
* In articles that have some sources, but not enough, the '''{{Tl|Refimprove}}''' template should be used instead. <br />
* Other templates, listed [[#See also|below]], should be used when the sources are inadequate for other reasons.<br />
* '''[[Wikipedia:Be bold|Be bold!]]''' Consider searching for [[Wikipedia:Verifiability|references]] and adding them to the article, instead of this template.<br />
* Consider not adding this template to extremely short articles.<br />
</div><br />
}}<br />
<br />
This adds articles to [[:Category:Articles lacking sources]]. This template should not be [[Wikipedia:Template substitution|substituted]] (<code><nowiki>subst:</nowiki></code>).<br />
<br />
=== Usage ===<br />
<br />
This template should be placed at '''the top''' of an article. There are two optional parameters:<br />
<br />
;Description field: The optional description field is used to indicate more specifically what should be referenced. An example of its usage is <code><nowiki>{{Unreferenced|article's section called "Childhood"}}</nowiki></code>. 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." <br />
;Date parameter: The date parameter, which is recommended, is used to indicate when the template was added to a page. An example of its usage is <code><nowiki>{{Unreferenced|date=</nowiki>{{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}}}</code>. 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 [[Wikipedia:Bot policy|bot]] will add it later.<br />
<br />
The two optional fields can be used together, and placed in either order. For example, both <code><nowiki>{{Unreferenced|article's section called "Childhood"|date=</nowiki>{{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}}}</code> and <code><nowiki>{{Unreferenced|date=</nowiki>{{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}|article's section called "Childhood"}}</code> have the same effect:<br />
<br />
{{Unreferenced|article's section called "Childhood"|date={{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}}}<br />
<br />
=== Differences from related templates ===<br />
<br />
One difference between the <code><nowiki>{{Unreferenced}}</nowiki></code> template and the similar templates <code>{{Tl|Refimprove}}</code> and <code>{{Tl|Unreferencedsection}}</code> is that <code><nowiki>{{Unreferenced}}</nowiki></code> adds an article to <br />
[[:Category:Articles lacking sources]], while <code><nowiki>{{Refimprove}}</nowiki></code> and <code><nowiki>{{Unreferencedsection}}</nowiki></code> add an article to [[:Category:Articles needing additional references]].<br />
<br />
A common practice is to supply a description of "section", as in <code><nowiki>{{Unreferenced|section}}</nowiki></code>, which results in an information box reading "This section does not cite any references or sources." This is the same message that is displayed when using <code><nowiki>{{Unreferencedsection}}</nowiki></code>, but the two templates place an article in different categories, as noted above.<br />
<br />
Note: when adding <code><nowiki>{{Unreferenced|section}}</nowiki></code> to a section of an article, the date parameter must be included. Otherwise, [[User:SmackBot|SmackBot]] will change the template to <code><nowiki>{{Unreferencedsection}}</nowiki></code> when it adds the date parameter.<br />
<br />
=== Redirects ===<br />
<br />
The following templates [[Wikipedia:Redirect|redirect]] to <code><nowiki>{{Unreferenced}}</nowiki></code>, meaning that they are synonyms that work exactly as <code><nowiki>{{Unreferenced}}</nowiki></code> works:<br />
*{{Tl|Citesources}}<br />
*{{Tl|No references}}<br />
*{{Tl|No refs}}<br />
*{{Tl|Noref}}<br />
*{{Tl|Noreferences}}<br />
*{{Tl|Norefs}}<br />
*{{Tl|Notverifiable}}<br />
*{{Tl|Nr}}<br />
*{{Tl|References}}<br />
*{{Tl|References needed}}<br />
*{{Tl|Uncited-article}}<br />
*{{Tl|Unref}}<br />
*{{Tl|Unrefart}}<br />
*{{Tl|Unrefarticle}}<br />
*{{Tl|Unreferenced art}}<br />
*{{Tl|Unreferenced article}}<br />
*{{Tl|Unreferencedart}}<br />
*{{Tl|Unrefreenced}}<br />
*{{Tl|Unsourced}}<br />
*{{Tl|Unverified}}<br />
<br />
The following templates previously redirected to <code><nowiki>{{Unreferenced}}</nowiki></code>, but have been changed:<br />
<br />
*({{Tl|Nosources}} and {{Tl|No source}} (both now redirect to {{Tl|Di-no source}})<br />
<br />

<br />
The following templates are useful in cases where there are ''some'' sources, but these are inadequate or insufficient:<br />
* {{Tl|Unreferencedsection}}<br />
* {{Tl|Refimprove}}<br />
* {{Tl|Primarysources}}<br />
* {{Tl|Citation style}}<br />
* {{tl|Nofootnotes}}<br />
* [[Wikipedia:Template messages/Sources of articles]]<br />
* [[Wikipedia:Template messages/Cleanup]]<br />
