Template:Bare URL inline
[bare URL]
 | This template is used on approximately 8,800 pages and changes may be widely noticed. Test changes in the template's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own user subpage. Consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them. |
This template is an inline alternative to {{Cleanup bare URLs}}. It contains a link to the information page Wikipedia:Bare URLs.
Usage
Paste this after a bare-URL reference/link:
{{Bare URL inline|date=June 2026}}
It is best to place the tag inside a citation, just before the closing </ref> tag:
<ref>https://www.salon.com/2020/01/31/the-disaster-of-utopian-engineering_partner/ {{bare URL inline|date=June 2026}}</ref>- Result: [1]
References
This will still categorize the page for cleanup without cluttering the present paragraph with "[bare URL]", and it will also help track down the citation to improve by keeping the cleanup tag in the citation. It also allows the tag to be removed by tools such as WP:reFill and Citation bot if they fill the reference with a citation template.
When doing it this way, the date must be manually entered; it cannot be done with the {{Bare URL inline|{{subst:DATE}}}} shortcut method, because template substitution does not work inside <ref>...</ref> tags.
Tracking categories
- This template places the article into both of the following categories:
- Category:All articles with bare URLs for citations — 2,560 pages
- Category:Articles with bare URLs for citations or a dated subcategory thereof, currently
