Template:No footnotes

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 {{refimprove}}.

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=October 2025}}.

• You can change the word article in "This article" with {{No footnotes|section}}, or customize it, e.g. {{No footnotes|list}} or {{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=October 2025}}. If the parameter is left off a bot will add it within a day or so.

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=October 2025}}

• {{No footnotes|section|date=October 2025}}

• {{No footnotes|BLP=yes|date=October 2025}}
