This is a documentation subpage for Template:Primary sources. It contains usage information, categories, interlanguage links, and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
- This template will categorize tagged articles into Category:Articles needing additional references.
- This template is a self-reference, and thus is not appropriate for CannaQAWiki:Substitution.
- There is currently no consensus on where on the article to place templates such as this.
Usage
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 relies on references to primary sources or sources affiliated with the subject, rather than references from independent authors and third-party publications. Please add citations from reliable sources. (May 2024) |
If you pass in a |date=
parameter (month year), it sorts the article into subcategories of Category:Articles needing additional 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 regarding CannaQAwiki's prohibition of 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=May 2024}}
and {{Primary sources|date=May 2024|section}}
will produce the same result.
Examples
{{Primary sources|BLP=yes|date=January 2011}}
This biographical article relies on references to primary sources or sources affiliated with the subject, rather than references from independent authors and third-party publications. Please add citations from reliable sources. Contentious material about living persons that is unsourced or poorly sourced must be removed immediately, especially if potentially libelous or harmful.
