Category:Pages with broken reference names: Difference between revisions

This is a maintenance category, used for maintenance of the Wikipedia project. It is not part of the encyclopedia and contains non-article pages, or groups articles by status rather than subject. Do not include this category in content categories. This is a tracking category. It builds and maintains a list of pages primarily for the sake of the list itself. They are not part of the encyclopedia's categorization scheme. This category is hidden on its member pages—unless the corresponding user preference (Appearance → Show hidden categories) is set. These categories can be 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 sub-categories into a larger, more efficient list (discriminated by classifications).

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)

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. AnomieBOT does some fixes and often leaves helpful suggestions on an article's Talk page.
