{{No significant coverage (sports)|find=World War II|find2=Mediterranean|date=October 2024}}
This template is used with sports-related biographies when there are no sources that plausibly contain significant coverage. For articles that are not sports biographies, please use the template {{No significant coverage}}.
Alternatives:
There are four named. All parameters are optional.
|date=
– month name and year; e.g. 'October 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: unquoted
. See below.|small=
– set to left
or no
; see details at Ambox. Default: standard-width banner.{{No significant coverage (sports)|date=October 2024}}
or
{{subst:No significant coverage (sports)}}
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 (sports)|find=search keyword(s)|date=October 2024}}
see below for details.
Date parameter:
|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 (sports)|date=October 2024}}
. Adding this parameter sorts the article into monthly subcategories of Category:Sports articles lacking sources containing significant coverage, rather than adding it to Category:Sports articles lacking sources containing significant coverage itself, allowing the oldest problems to be identified and dealt with first. If the date parameter is omitted, a bot will add it later.Find parameters:
|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 of find sources links. (Note that specifying |find=none
and a nonempty value for |find2=
is not a valid combination.)
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.
This template adds the article to Category:All sports biographies lacking sources containing significant coverage, Category:All articles lacking sources containing significant coverage and monthly subcategory such as Category:Articles lacking sources containing significant coverage from October 2024 and Category:Sports biographies lacking sources containing significant coverage from October 2024 (as described above), which are hidden categories.
The similar template {{More citations needed}} adds an article to Category:Articles needing additional references. {{Unreferenced}} adds the article to Category:Articles lacking sources. {{More medical citations needed}} adds the article to Category:Articles needing additional medical references as well as Category:Articles needing additional references.
