Category:Pages with broken reference names: Difference between revisions

This category is not shown on its member pages unless the appropriate user preference (appearance → show hidden categories) is set.

This category has a backlog that requires the attention of willing editors. This notice will hide itself when this category has fewer than 50 items. (recount)

This is a tracking category. It is used to build and maintain a list or lists of pages—primarily for the sake of the lists themselves and their use in article and category maintenance. It is not part of the encyclopedia's categorization scheme. More information: This category is hidden on its member pages—unless the corresponding user preference (Appearance → Show hidden categories) is set. These categories are used to track, build and organize lists of pages needing "attention en masse" (for example, pages using deprecated syntax), or that may need to be edited at someone's earliest convenience. These categories also serve to aggregate members of several lists or subcategories into a larger, more efficient list (discriminated by classifications). Typically, tracking categories are automatically populated by templates invoked in pages or by the MediaWiki software (see Special:TrackingCategories for an overview of the latter).

Administrators: Please do not delete this category as empty! This category may be empty occasionally or even most of the time.

Pages are placed in this category when any of the following cite errors are generated on the page:

• The named reference $1 was invoked but never defined (see the help page).

Where $1 is the <ref> tag name.

Please do not delete the ref nor comment it out. This error usually occurs because someone deleted another ref with that same name that had text in it. To fix these errors, look in the page history to find the deleted ref and copy its text into the remaining ref with the error message. To find first entry of ref use WikiBlame.

If you fix it you can leave this edit summary if you wish:

The pages Template:Broken ref, Help:Cite errors, and subpages contain deliberate errors and do not need to be repaired.
