Template:Bare URL plain text

Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

This template is an inline alternative to {{Cleanup bare URLs}}, for use ONLY with links to plain text files.

Usage

Paste this after a bare-URL reference/link to a plain text file:

{{Bare URL plain text|date=April 2024}}

It is best to place the tag inside a citation, just before the closing </ref> tag:

• <ref>http://grao.bg/tna/tab02.txt {{bare URL plain text|date=April 2024}}</ref>
  • Result:

Template:Talkref This will still categorize the page for cleanup without cluttering the present paragraph with "^{[bare URL plain text file]}", 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 plain text|{{subst:DATE}}}} shortcut method, because template substitution does not work inside <ref>...</ref> tags.
