 | This is a documentation subpage for Template:Bare URL inline. It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
This template is an inline alternative to {{Cleanup bare URLs}}.
Usage
Paste this after a bare-URL reference/link:
{{Bare URL inline|date=June 2024}}
Examples:
[https://www.salon.com/2020/01/31/the-disaster-of-utopian-engineering_partner/]{{bare URL inline|date=June 2024}}https://www.salon.com/2020/01/31/the-disaster-of-utopian-engineering_partner/{{bare URL inline|date=June 2024}}- Result: https://www.salon.com/2020/01/31/the-disaster-of-utopian-engineering_partner/[bare URL]
- This is obviously better changed to the format above this example, or put into a
{{ref}}tag.

- Result: https://www.salon.com/2020/01/31/the-disaster-of-utopian-engineering_partner/[bare URL]
With a <ref> tag:
<ref>https://www.salon.com/2020/01/31/the-disaster-of-utopian-engineering_partner/</ref>{{bare URL inline|date=June 2024}}
It can also be done 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=June 2024}}</ref>- Result: [1]
References
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. When doing it this way, the date must be manually entered; it cannot be done with the {{Bare URL inline|{{subst:DATE}}}} shortcut method, because template substitution does not work inside <ref>...</ref> tags.
- This template places the article into both of the following categories:
- Category:All articles with bare URLs for citations
- Category:Articles with bare URLs for citations or a dated subcategory thereof.
