Please help this article by adding reliable references. Unsourced or poorly sourced material about living persons must be removed immediately, especially if potentially libelous or harmful.

Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

Any breaking changes to this template, including moving it or nominating it for deletion, must be communicated in advance to Twinkle's users and maintainers at Misplaced Pages talk:Twinkle. The standard installation of Twinkle relies on this template. Thank you.

[REDACTED]

This template is used by the standard installation of AutoWikiBrowser (AWB). If you are planning to make any major changes to this template, move it, or nominate it for deletion, please notify AWB's users and maintainers beforehand at Misplaced Pages talk:AWB as a courtesy.

This template is used on approximately 7,200 pages and changes may be widely noticed. Test changes in the template's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own user subpage. Consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them.

Usage

Please do not use this template on pages that warrant deletion. Such pages should be tagged with {{subst:prod blp}} instead.

This template is intended to be placed at the top of articles about living persons that don't have any sources, and are therefore in need of immediate attention. If the article meets the criteria described at WP:BLPPROD, you are recommended to tag it with Template:Prod blp instead. If the article is not about a living person, use {{Unreferenced}} instead.

This template also includes support for using the date parameter. Adding this parameter sorts the article into subcategories of Category:Unreferenced BLPs 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:All unreferenced BLPs. This allows editors who keep an eye on biographies and BLP concerns to quickly find articles in need of attention.

Articles with this template are not automatically added to Category:Living people or Category:Possibly living people.

Listed below are the options for usage:

{{BLP unsourced}}
{{BLP unsourced|date=January 2025}}

Historical bot parameter

An additional option, when the template was added by a bot, was the bot parameter:

{{BLP unsourced|date=January 2025|bot=yes}}
The banner message then included additional wording to advise that the article was automatically assessed.

This, however, has been deprecated since any inaccurate tags should be removed regardless of source.

TemplateData

This is the TemplateData for this template used by TemplateWizard, VisualEditor and other tools. See a monthly parameter usage report for Template:BLP unreferenced in articles based on its TemplateData.

TemplateData for BLP unreferenced
