Usage

{{One source section|date=August 2026}}

{{One source section|find=some search keywords|date=August 2026}}

Parameters

Find parameter

The |find= parameter is available to control the presentation and operation of the {{find sources}} links optionally displayed by the template. The find parameter can be used to provide the search keywords of your choice to the {{find sources}} links. By default, this template displays no {{find sources mainspace}} output. If desired, such display may be added, using |find= parameter. When used with a value, such as |find=search keyword(s), the output of {{find sources}} is added to the template output.

Text

You can replace the entire first sentence by specifying the |text= parameter. This can be used when the standard wording is not applicable, but the general intent of the template is.

Date

As with most cleanup templates, the |date= parameter sorts the article into subcategories of Category:Articles lacking sources, allowing the oldest problems to be identified and dealt with first. You do not need to specify the date manually; a bot will add it later automatically.

Talk

The |talk= parameter may be used to specify a discussion section on the talk page.
