Template:Find sources notice/doc

Usage
Template:Find sources notice incorporates the styling of the talk page message box meta-template Tmbox and the coding of the template Find sources to provide an easy way to tag an article talk page namespace with Google links to potential material for the article. Per WikiQueer:EL, this template should not be used in article namespace.

Parameters
The template employs seven parameters as described below. Five are unnamed parameter, optional data field parameters. The sixth and seventh is a named parameter.

Parameters legend
Each of the five unnamed parameters may be referenced implicitly or explicitly. For example, 3 typically will be referenced implicitly by putting the value (such as  ) in the third position among the unnamed parameter definitions. Alternatively, 3 may referenced explicitly, such as with.


 * If no parameter value is specified, the WikiQueer name of the article is passed as the search string.
 * 1=: this optional parameter operates as the main search term and will be treated as a literal string if multi-part. For example,  will be searched as the single string "Albert Einstein" not as "Albert" and "Einstein".
 * 2= to 5=: These may be used to add additional search terms to the search string. Then can be enclosed in double quotation marks, preceded by an unspaced  (hyphen) to exclude them from the search results, or both (e.g.   to exclude matches containing the phrase "Marilyn Monroe", but not either name by itself, from the search results).  You do not need to add , as the template automatically does this for you. Also, there is no need to add words in plural form unless irregular, as Google will match (for example) billiards as well given a search term of billiard. More details on using these parameters as part of an advaced search string may be found at Google's Advanced Search Made Easy
 * free=: If yes is added, Google News will only return free as in beer search results; please note that this can exclude many valuable sources simply because they have a small (or sometimes not so small) price tag. free is best used when linking to source material in discussions, rather than when using the template near the top of an article's talk page as a source-finding resource.
 * small=: toggles the message box from standard size to small small if yes.
