Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]When to use
Use this template to indicate that there are general references in the article, but that none are currently linked with inline citations. If you wish to indicate that there should be more linking via inline citations for articles that already have inline citations, use {{more footnotes}} instead. For articles where the problem is not in that there are general references that are unlinked, but rather that there are just simply not enough references, use {{More citations needed}}.
An inline citation is any system that associates a given piece of an article with a specific citation. Do not add this tag to articles that use the "wrong" style of inline citation.
How to use
To add this template to an article, copy and paste {{No footnotes|date=March 2025}}
- You can change the word article in "This article" with
{{No footnotes|section}}{{No footnotes|list}}{{No footnotes|table}} - This template will add the article to Category:Articles lacking in-text citations.
This template has a |date= parameter. It can be entered explicitly as {{No footnotes|date=March 2025}}
The template also has an optional |BLP= parameter. If its value is yes, this will indicate that the article is a biography of a living person, which have higher standards for further reading and external links.
Examples
{{No footnotes|date=March 2025}}
{{No footnotes|section|date=March 2025}}
