{{tsh|Urs|Unrefsect}}
== Usage ==
: {{tlx|Unreferenced section|2=date={{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}}}

Only use this template when the section ''completely'' lacks references. For sections with some but too few references, use {{tl|Refimprove section}} instead. 

This template puts articles in [[:Category:Articles needing additional references]] or a dated subcategory thereof. If you leave the date off, a [[Wikipedia:Bots|bot]] will add it later. To fill the date automatically, you can use {{tlsx|Unreferenced section}}.

Sample usage using optional "find" param:
: {{tlx|Unreferenced section|find{{=}}search keyword(s)|date{{=}}{{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}}}

==Parameters==
* {{para|date}} : month and year the section was last checked for references; e.g., {{para|date|{{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}}}
* {{para|small}} : Any value (typically "y", "yes", etc.) will make the template smaller. The template should normally be full-width when it applies to an entire section.
* {{para|find}} : search keywords for {{tl|find sources}} param 1 (double-quoted search). This optional parameter adds a set of links produced by the {{tl|find sources}} template to the output. If omitted, no "find sources" links are displayed.
* {{para|find2}} : search keywords for {{tl|find sources}} param 2 (unquoted search). Alias: <code>unquoted</code>.
