 | This is a documentation subpage for Template:BLP unsourced. It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
 | If you plan to make breaking changes to this template, move it, or nominate it for deletion, please notify Twinkle's users and maintainers at Wikipedia talk:Twinkle as a courtesy, as this template is used in the standard installation of Twinkle. Thank you! |
 | This template is used on approximately 6,400 pages, so changes to it will be widely noticed. Please test any changes in the template's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own user subpage. Please consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them. |
Usage
 | Please do not use this template on pages. Such pages should be tagged with {{subst:prod blp}} instead. |
This template is intended to be placed at the top of articles about living persons that don't have any sources, and are therefore in need of immediate attention. If the article meets the criteria described at WP:BLPPROD, you are recommended to tag it with Template:Prod blp instead. If the article is not about a living person, use {{Unreferenced}} instead.
This template also includes support for using the date parameter. Adding this parameter sorts the article into subcategories of Category:Unreferenced BLPs and out of the parent category, allowing the oldest problems to be identified and dealt with first.
This template additionally adds the article to Category:All unreferenced BLPs. This allows editors who keep an eye on biographies and BLP concerns to quickly find articles in need of attention.
Articles with this template are not automatically added to Category:Living people or Category:Possibly living people.
Listed below are the options for usage:
{{BLP unsourced}}
{{BLP unsourced|date=November 2024}}
Historical bot parameter
An additional option, when the template was added by a bot, was the bot parameter:
{{BLP unsourced|date=November 2024|bot=yes}}
The banner message then included additional wording to advise that the article was automatically assessed.
This, however, has been deprecated since any inaccurate tags should be removed regardless of source.
