Template documentation

May be placed on landing pages used to describe the reliability of one source discussed at WP:RSN.

Usage

Typical usage – shows a source with one domain and one Rfc:

{{Infobox source reliability
 | type			= Website
 | shortcut		= WP:RSPFOO
 | status		= gr        <!-- or: 'nc', 'gu', 'd', 'b' -->
 | last			= 20xx      <!-- yyyy suggested -->
 | domain		= example.com
 | rfc			= Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Noticeboard/Archive 999#SectionName
 | rfcdate		= 20xx      <!-- any valid date format; usual: yyyy -->
 | rfcmore		= yes		<!-- if more than one rfc -->
}}

Parameters

• |name= – name of the source, linked by default; provides the heading above the box; default: {{SUBPAGENAME}}; normally omitted

• |shortcut= – abbreviated wikilink to the list entry
• |row= – link to RSP table row; the shortcut before conversion
• |status= – consensus evaluation of this source: nc, gr, gu (and the alt values below). Any other value is echoed in the infobox as given.

nc, no consensus, MREL

gr, generally reliable, GREL

gu, generally unreliable, GUNREL

d, deprecated, DEPREC

• |deprecated= – values: yes, no (default: no; aliases: depr, d )

• |rfcdate= – date of the Rfc; just year is sufficient if not recent, but any valid date format is okay. Default: (forthcoming): the date expressed by the first RSP-Rfc template in section #Rfcs on the page.
• |rfcmore=SectionName – links section § SectionName on the page where additional rfcs can be found (value 'yes' links to section 'Rfcs') Default: (forthcoming): section #Rfcs, if there are two or more RSP-Rfc templates in section #Rfcs on the page.

• Perennial sources deemed STATUS in LAST – if a valid LAST date was found and a valid status (example)
• Perennial sources deemed STATUS – if only a valid STATUS was found
• Perennial sources deemed deprecated in LAST – for deprecated sources having a valid LAST date (example)
• Perennial sources deemed deprecated – for deprecated sources not having a valid LAST date
