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. (recount)

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.
