{{Shortcut|CAT:REF}}
Pages in this category have a footnotes error that usually displays a MediaWiki message starting with {{color|red|Cite error:}}. See Help:Cite errors for further information.
- If an error message does not display, a reference starting with a {{tag|ref|o}} tag may be missing a closing {{tag|ref|c}} tag. This may also occur when it is a self-closing tag. Sometimes the reference will be
. If there is no content after the tag that should be a reference and there is no slash (/) before the last bracket, then that could be the problem. - The problem might also be that there are nested ref tags. This can include having, for example,
{{sfn}} tags inside {{tag|ref|o}} and {{tag|ref|c}}. The solution could be to delete the {{tag|ref|o}} and {{tag|ref|c}} tags or convert the{{sfn}} into a{{harvn}} tag for example.
The pages Template:Broken ref, Help:Cite errors and subpages contain deliberate errors and do not need to be repaired.
