Templat:AWB standard installation

Contentious material that is unsourced or poorly sourced must be removed immediately, especially if potentially libelous or harmful.

Alternatives:

In BLP articles that have no sources at all, the {{subst:prod blp}} template should be used. Otherwise, use {{BLP unsourced}}.
In non-BLP articles that require additional sources, the {{More citations needed}} template should be used instead.
Be bold! Consider searching for references and adding them to the article, instead of this template.
Consider not adding this template to extremely short articles.

This template uses Lua:

Usage[simbanai toud]

This template is intended to be placed at the top of articles about living persons that need additional references, and are therefore in need of immediate attention. If the article is not about a living or recently deceased subject, you may wish to use {{More citations needed}} instead.

Please add a date parameter. Adding a date parameter sorts the article into subcategories of Category:BLP articles lacking sources and out of the parent category, allowing the oldest problems to be identified and dealt with first.

Finally, if the article has a defaultsort, this is used for these categories as well. Otherwise, it is sorted on the first word (usually the first name).

Parameters[simbanai toud]

date = Mahas 2024 - required parameter, will be added by bot
reason = text - optional parameter which appends advisory text

The following parameter is obsolete: |Templat:Red= (simply use the first unnamed parameter).

Examples[simbanai toud]

Paste-ready example: {{BLP sources|date=Mahas 2024}}

Example with reason: {{BLP sources|date=Mahas 2024|reason=}}

This template can be used with a "section" parameter to tag specific sections: {{BLP sources|section|date=Mahas 2024}}
