Template:Better sources needed/doc

When to use
This template indicates that the article needs better or more reliable citations. This template should be used only for articles where there are some, but insufficiently reliable, inline citations to support the material currently in the article.

Placement


 * According to MOS:LAYOUT, maintenance templates, such as this one, should (except when section-specific) be placed after hatnotes, at the start of the article. That placement is supported by consensus obtained in an RfC at.

Parameters
There are six parameters, one positional, and five named parameters. All parameters are optional.


 * 1 – scope of notification (e.g., 'section', 'article') default: 'article'.
 * date – month name and year; e.g. 'July 2024' (no default)
 * find – search keywords for find sources param 1 (double-quoted search); default: page title. See details below.
 * find2 – search keywords for find sources param 2 (unquoted search). Alias: . See below.
 * small – set to  or  ; see details at Ambox. Default: standard-width banner.
 * talk – title of talk page section where discussion can be found

Details
Talk parameter


 * A talk parameter is allowed; setting this to any value will result in the message "See talk page for details." being included in the tag. If the value is a valid anchor on the talk page (e.g., the title of a section or subsection heading), then the talk page link will go directly to that anchor; if not, then to the top of the page.

Date parameter


 * This template also includes support for using the date parameter. Be careful not to abbreviate the date. The simplest way to use this parameter manually is, but it can be done more explicitly as   (both result in the same output). Do not use   because   already includes the leading   code.

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 includes parenthetical 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.
 * find2 to specify keywords for an unquoted search; this corresponds to find sources param . The alias unquoted may be used instead.

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