+Check that import target can be found [import-untyped]
+--------------------------------------------------------
+
+Mypy generates an error if it can find the source code for an imported module,
+but that module does not provide type annotations (via :ref:`PEP 561 <installed-packages>`).
+
+Example:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    # Error: Library stubs not installed for "bs4"  [import-untyped]
+    import bs4
+    # Error: Skipping analyzing "no_py_typed": module is installed, but missing library stubs or py.typed marker  [import-untyped]
+    import no_py_typed
+
+In some cases, these errors can be fixed by installing an appropriate
+stub package. See :ref:`ignore-missing-imports` for more details.
