Usage

{{No significant coverage|date=October 2025}}
{{No significant coverage|find=World War II|find2=Mediterranean|date=October 2025}}

When to use this template

You should add this template to any articles that do not have any sources that plausibly containsignificant coverage. For articles that relate to sports, the template{{No significant coverage (sports)}} should be used instead, as such articles are required to have such coverage by theNSPORTS general criteria #5.

Do not add this template:

To articles that contain no sources. Instead, use the template{{Unreferenced}}.

Alternatives:

Be bold! Consider searching forsources and citing them in the article, instead of adding this template.
In articles about people and businesses, consider using the more specific{{Third-party sources}} template, to encourage citation ofWP:Independent sources rather than the subject's own website.
SeeWikipedia:Biographies of living people for guidance on dealing with under-referenced biographies of living people.

Parameters

There are four named parameters. All parameters are optional.

|date= – month name and year; e.g. 'October 2025' (no default)
|find= – search keywords for{{find sources}} param 1 (double-quoted search); default: page title. See detailsbelow.
|find2= – search keywords for{{find sources}} param 2 (unquoted search). Alias:unquoted. Seebelow.
|small= – set toleft orno; see details atAmbox. Default: standard-width banner.

Examples

{{No significant coverage|date=October 2025}}

{{subst:No significant coverage}}

Substitution of this template will automatically fill the date parameter.

The optional|find= parameter is available, for modifying the operation of the{{find sources}} links displayed by the template:

{{No significant coverage|find=search keyword(s)|date=October 2025}}

see below for details.

Details

Date parameter:

The|date= parameter is (generally^[1]) used to indicate when the template was added to a page. An example of its usage is{{No significant coverage|date=October 2025}}. Adding this parameter sorts the article into monthly subcategories ofCategory:Articles lacking sources containing significant coverage, rather than adding it toCategory:Articles lacking sources containing significant coverage itself, allowing the oldest problems to be identified and dealt with first. If the date parameter is omitted, abot will add it later.

Find parameters:

There are two 'find' parameters available to control the presentation and operation of the{{find sources}} links optionally displayed by the{{Unreferenced}} template. By default, the template displays{{find sources}} with a quoted search query equivalent to the exact article title. Sometimes, especially if the article has a long,descriptive title, or if it includesparenthetical disambiguation terms, this may not give useful results. The find parameters can be used to provide the search keywords of your choice to the{{find sources}} links. Use:

|find= to specify keywords for an exact search (double-quoted query); this corresponds to{{find sources}} positional param|1.
|find2= to specify keywords for an unquoted search; this corresponds to{{find sources}} param|2. The alias|unquoted= may be used instead.

The value "none" may be passed to 'find' (|find=none) to suppress display offind sources links. (Note that specifying|find=none and a nonempty value for|find2= is not a valid combination.)

General information

This template can either be placed at the top of an article, at the bottom of the article page (in an empty "References" or "Notes" section—usually just before a{{Reflist}} template), or on the article's talk page.

Footnotes

^Because of the nature of the workflow using the current date makes sense, it is simpler to add, especially for theWP:bots it means that older dated categories do not have to be constantly created and deleted, and it enables some measure of progress. Moreover it is "good enough" to get the articles into the workflow and the intention is to ensure they are cleaned up eventually. Occasionally however it may be useful to bulk add items, to older categories, for example when the system was initially set up, when merging two schemes or when adding to the current month would swamp it disproportionately.
