Template:NRIS-only/doc
| 40px | This is a documentation subpage for Template:NRIS-only. It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
Purpose
This template is a special case of {{One source}}, used for when the single source cited by the article is the National Register Information System (NRIS), through the use of {{NRISref}}. The template is usually added by User:NationalRegisterBot, but it can also be added manually.
Parameters
Usage
{{NRIS-only|date=December 2024}}
{{NRIS-only|section|date=December 2024}}
Subject
The first unnamed parameter replaces "This article relies" with "This PARAMETER relies".
For example, "{{NRIS-only|section}}" would display:
| This section relies entirely upon a single source, the National Register Information System (NRIS) database or one of its mirrors. Articles based solely on the NRIS may contain errors. |
Date
As with most cleanup templates, the date= parameter sorts the article into subcategories of Category:Articles sourced only to NRIS, allowing the oldest problems to be identified and dealt with first. You do not need to specify the date manually since a bot will add it later automatically; nonetheless adding the date is encouraged.
Editorial usage
This template should only be used for articles which include only inline citations to the NRIS via {{NRISref}}. The bot will tag articles even if other non-inline sources are listed in a "References" section.
Please consider improving the article or making a good faith attempt to find additional citations before adding this template.
If this template is removed from an article without improving said article, the bot will automatically re-add the template until the problem is fixed. If the bot is doing this in error, direct all questions to User talk:NationalRegisterBot.
Alternatives
- {{Unreferenced}} — No sources at all
- {{One source}} — One source that is not NRIS
- {{Primary sources}} — Dependence on primary sources
- {{Unreliable sources}} — Dependence on unreliable sources
- {{Refimprove}} — Multiple cited sources but still need additional sources
- {{Failed verification}} — Citation does not support the article's claim(s)
- {{Partisan sources}} — Sources only or mainly represent one view.
Administrivia
This template will categorise tagged articles into Category:Articles sourced only to NRIS. If a date is supplied, a monthly category like Category:Articles sourced only to NRIS from December 2024 will be used instead.
