Category:CS1 errors: external links

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
It is used to build and maintain a list or lists of pages—primarily for the sake of the lists themselves and their use in article and category maintenance. It is not part of the encyclopedia's categorization scheme.
More information:
  • This category is hidden on its member pages—unless the corresponding user preference (Appearance → Show hidden categories) is set.
  • These categories are used to track, build and organize lists of pages needing "attention en masse" (for example, pages using deprecated syntax), or that may need to be edited at someone's earliest convenience.
  • These categories also serve to aggregate members of several lists or subcategories into a larger, more efficient list (discriminated by classifications).
  • Typically, tracking categories are automatically populated by templates invoked in pages or by the MediaWiki software (see Special:TrackingCategories for an overview of the latter).
Administrators: Please do not delete this category as empty!
This category may be empty occasionally or even most of the time.

This is a tracking category for CS1 citations that have title-holding parameters containing external links.

External link in |<param>=

This error occurs when a URL is found in any parameter that is not one of these URL-holding parameters:

  • |archive-url=
  • |article-url=
  • |chapter-url=
  • |conference-url=
  • |contribution-url=
  • |entry-url=
  • |map-url=
  • |section-url=
  • |transcript-url=
  • |url=

or any of these insource locator parameters:

  • |page=
  • |p=
  • |pages=
  • |pp=
  • |at=
  • |quote-page=
  • |quote-pages=

To resolve this error, remove the external link from the identified parameter. Consider placing the external link in a more appropriate parameter:

  • for |chapter=, the URL may belong in |chapter-url=.
  • for other parameters, it may belong in |url=.

Wrapping the parameter value in double parentheses (i.e. "accept as written" markup) does not work around this error message.

Pages with this error are automatically placed in Category:CS1 errors: external links.[a]
