Template:Primary sources section

Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

Usage

{{Primary sources section|date=December 2025}}

Parameters

Date

As with most cleanup templates, the |date= parameter sorts the article into subcategories of Category:Articles lacking reliable references, allowing the oldest problems to be identified and dealt with first. You do not need to specify the date manually; a bot will add it later automatically.

Talk

The |talk= parameter may be used to specify a discussion section on the talk page.
