Enter this tag in the body of an article as a request for other editors to find citations:

1. to label a passage which is incomplete without a cited source of information
2. to label a quotation which lacks a citation, as per Lunarpedia:Citing sources.

Unsourced or poorly sourced contentious material about living persons should be removed immediately, not tagged. See this section of WP:BLP. The policy on tagging is in this section of Lunarpedia:Attribution.

To find all pages that use this template, see Category:All articles with unsourced statements: a count is maintained by User:Dragons_flight/Category_tracker. The articles will also be categorised by month, by a bot. These categories are subcategories of Category:Articles with unsourced statements. For articles which lack sources, please visit Category:Articles lacking sources.

This template is a self-reference and so is part of the Lunarpedia project rather than the encyclopedic content.
