Category:Articles with broken citations
 | 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 hidden category. It is not shown on its member pages, unless the corresponding user preference (appearance → show hidden categories) is set. |
 | Administrators: Please do not delete this category even if it is empty! This category may be empty occasionally or even most of the time. |
 | If this category has 10 items or more, it will report as a backlog. () |
Pages are added to this category by various citation templates if they use incorrect syntax (further information at {{Citation error}}). To fix them, view the article and search for red text, including (but not limited to) phrases such as:
- Error: If you specify |archivedate=, you must also specify |archiveurl=
- Error: no |title= specified when using {{cite web}}
- Error: You must specify |name= when using {{cite gnis}}
(you can do this in many web browsers with CTRL+F). Then click the footnote marker ("^") to see which citation is incorrectly specified and how. If you are the editor who used one of the citation templates and ended up with a broken citation, consider reading the pertaining template documentation again.
This category should not be confused with Category:Articles with dead external links, which is added with the {{dead link}} template. Please do not add pages to this category directly.
