:Category:Articles with incorrect citation syntax
{{Wikipedia category|hidden=yes|shortcut=CAT:AWBC}}
{{Empty category}}
{{Backlog|50}}
This category contains individual pages and several subcategories.
The individual pages in Category:Articles with incorrect citation syntax are added by various citation/core-based citation templates when they use incorrect syntax (further information at {{Tlx|Citation error}}). To fix them, view the article and search for red text, including (but not limited to) phrases such as:
- Error: If you specify {{para|archive-date}}, you must also specify {{para|archive-url}}
- Error: If you specify {{para|archive-url}}, you must first specify {{para|url}}
- Error: You must specify |name= when using {{tl|cite gnis}}
(you can do this in many web browsers with CTRL+F). Then click the footnote marker ("^") to see which citation is incorrectly specified and how. If you are the editor who used one of the citation templates and ended up with a broken citation, consider reading the relevant template's documentation.
Some subcategories in this category are populated by the various Module:Citation/CS1-based citation templates. Help for these error messages is at Help:CS1 errors, with direct links to the appropriate help text available from the error message in the article.
This category should not be confused with :Category:Articles with broken or outdated citations, which is added with the {{Tl|Citations broken}} template to indicate problems with the meaning or target of the ref (rather than the technical syntax of the citation template). Please do not add pages to this category directly.
