Template:Author incomplete

Note

View source to see what this template does. It is <includeonly>-wrapped so that the template itself is not categorized by the meta-template that it calls.

This template is just a variant of {{Author missing}}, and shares the same documentation:

{{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=September 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=September 2026}}

  or

  {{author incomplete|date=September 2026}}
