Usage guidance
Care should be taken when deciding to include a link to the Find a Grave website, as cemetery entries there can be created by any user, although curation of the site's cemetery entries is more tightly controlled than curation of individual memorials is.
To comply with WP:ELNO, only use this template in a Wikipedia cemetery entry's "External links" section if the Find a Grave cemetery entry contains unique information not already mentioned and cited in the body of the article and is not a WP:COPYLINK violation. Remove from "External links" if Find a Grave is already cited in the article's main body, if cemetery information is provided in the main body by a more reliable source, or if the page contains any unlicensed copyrighted information (e.g., professional photography).
- As a reference for article content
Find a Grave is not considered by some to qualify as a reliable source. Whenever appropriate reliable sources discuss the same material, editors are encouraged to prefer those to a Find a Grave link.
