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 {{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
|archivedate=
, you must also specify|archiveurl=
- Error: If you specify
|archiveurl=
, you must first specify|url=
- Error: You must specify |name= when using {{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This category should not be confused with Category:Articles with broken or outdated citations, which is added with the {{Citations broken}} template. Please do not add pages to this category directly.
