{{Author missing}} (or {{author?}} for short) is an inline cleanup template flagging a broken source citation that is missing author information (or at least the specified fact that author information is not available).
Use
- For all citations, append the tag to the end of the citation (usually just before the closing reference tag
</ref>):{{author missing|date=April 2026}}
- In the occasional case of a partial name (e.g. just a family name, or some construction such as "Dr. Falstaff" or "Reagan and Parkes" or "VNEA" without the full information being provided in a "Notes", "References" or "Bibliography" section elsewhere on the page), you can change the displayed text to [author incomplete] using:
{{author missing|partial=yes|date=April 2026}}- or
{{author incomplete|date=April 2026}}
