Template:Bare URL inline
[bare URL]
This template is an inline alternative to {{Cleanup bare URLs}}.
Purpose
See BTW:Bare URLs and BTW:HOWCITE
Usage
Paste this after a bare-URL reference/link:
{{Bare URL inline}}
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=November 2026}}</ref>- Result: [1]
Template:Talkref 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.
Tracking
- This template places the article into Category:Articles with bare URLs for citations
