Category:CS1 errors: external links

Random page in this category

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]
