Template:Unreliable source/doc
 | This is a documentation subpage for Template:Unreliable source. It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
This template will categorise tagged articles into Category:Articles lacking reliable references. Add this template only after a good-faith attempt to verify the reliability of the source in question.
This template takes two optional parameters:
|failed=- which if set to 'y' will remove the question mark, noting this as a source that has failed verification and is unreliable.
{{Unreliable source|failed=y}}
|date=- which should be set to the month and year when the article was tagged.
{{Unreliable source|date=September 2024}}
For whole sections or articles, use {{unreliable sources}}.
