Template:BLP sources/doc

Usage
This template is intended to be placed at the top of articles about living persons that need additional references, and therefore in need of immediate attention. If the article is not about a living or recently deceased subject, you may wish to use Refimprove instead.

This template also includes support for using the date(=month year) parameter. Adding this parameter sorts the article into subcategories of Category:Articles lacking reliable references and out of the parent category, allowing the oldest problems to be identified and dealt with first.

This template additionally adds the article to Category:BLP articles lacking sources. This allows editors who keep an eye on biographies and BLP concerns to find articles in need of attention quickly.

Finally, if the article has a defaultsort, this is used for these categories as well. Otherwise, it is sorted on the first word (usually the first name).

Examples

 * : Paste-ready version for any month (auto-expands to "date=month year").
 * : Paste-ready version for this month.
 * : Also works, but a bot will have to add the date later (meaning twice more edits and watchlist alerts).

Redirects
Aliases include, alphabetically:
 * 1) BLP Improvereferences
 * 2) BLP improvereferences
 * 3) blp improvereferences
 * 4) BLPImprovereferences
 * 5) BLPimprovereferences
 * 6) blpimprovereferences
 * 7) BLPmoreref
 * 8) BLP Refimprove
 * 9) BLP refimprove
 * 10) blp refimprove
 * 11) BLPRefimprove
 * 12) BLPrefimprove
 * 13) blprefimprove
 * 14) BLP Sources
 * 15) blp sources
 * 16) BLPSources
 * 17) BLPsources
 * 18) blpsources

It is thus easy to just add "BLP" or even "blp" in front of the most common similar non-BLP tags.
