== Usage == Paste this after a bare-URL reference/link: :{{Tlx|Bare URL inline|date{{=}}{{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}}} It is best to place the tag {{em|inside}} a citation, just before the closing {{xtag|ref|c}} tag: * <code><nowiki><ref>https://www.salon.com/2020/01/31/the-disaster-of-utopian-engineering_partner/</nowiki> {{tlp|bare URL inline|date{{=}}{{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}}}<nowiki></ref></nowiki></code> ** '''Result:''' <ref>https://www.salon.com/2020/01/31/the-disaster-of-utopian-engineering_partner/ {{bare URL inline}}</ref> {{talkref}} This will still categorize the page for cleanup without cluttering the present paragraph with "<sup>[bare URL]</sup>", and it will also help track down the citation to improve by keeping the cleanup tag in the citation. It also allows the tag to be removed by tools such as [[WP:reFill]] and {{u|Citation bot}} if they fill the reference with a citation template. When doing it this way, the date must be manually entered; it cannot be done with the <code><nowiki>{{Bare URL inline|{{subst:</nowiki>[[Template:DATE|DATE]]<nowiki>}}}}</nowiki></code> shortcut method, because [[WP:SUBST|template substitution]] does not work inside {{xtag|ref|p}} tags. === Tracking categories === *This template places the article into both of the following categories: **[[:Category:All articles with bare URLs for citations]] β {{PAGESINCATEGORY:All articles with bare URLs for citations}} pages **[[:Category:Articles with bare URLs for citations]] or a dated subcategory thereof, currently ***[[:Category:Articles with bare URLs for citations from {{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}]] β {{PAGESINCATEGORY:Articles with bare URLs for citations from {{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}}} pages <small>{{Purge|''Purge this page to update pages-in-category counts''}}</small> === Why? === See [[WP:Bare URLs]] === How to respond to this tag === See [[WP:HOWCITE]]
