Editing Template:Unreferenced/doc (section)

== Usage ==

* {{tlx|Unreferenced|date{{=}}{{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}}}
* {{tlx|Unreferenced|find{{=}}World War II|find2{{=}}Mediterranean|date{{=}}{{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}}}

=== When to use ===
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 '''{{Tl|More citations needed}}''' template should be used instead as a general template, or the '''{{Tl|Unreferenced section}}''' template for individual sections that have no citations.
*In articles containing a list of sources at the end, but no [[WP:Inline citations|inline citations]], including parenthetical references or [[WP:INTEXT|in-text attributions]], consider {{tl|no footnotes}} when the article would be significantly improved by detailed attribution of sources to specific claims.
*Watch out for lists of [[WP:General references|general references]] that someone has incorrectly listed under <code>==External links==</code>. If the link leads to a reliable source that supports some article content, then that website is a reference, not just an [[WP:EL|external link]].
*Other templates, listed [[#See also|below]], should be used when the citations are inadequate for other reasons.

'''Alternatives:'''
*'''[[Wikipedia:Be bold|Be bold!]]''' Consider searching for [[Wikipedia:Verifiability|sources]] and citing them in the article, instead of adding this template.
*In articles about people and businesses, consider using the more specific {{tlx|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. <!-- note that this is phrased so that it is accurate no matter what WP:BLP happens to say at any given moment. -->
*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.
