This is a tracking category for CS1 citations that use |format=
without also providing a url for |url=
. For media format, instead use |type=
.
|format=
requires|url=
|...-format=
requires|...-url=
These errors occur when Citation Style 1 and Citation Style 2 templates use |format=
or |...-format=
without also providing a corresponding URL for |url=
or |...-url=
, respectively. The |format=
and |...-format=
parameters are used to specify the file format of a web resource, such as PDF, DOC, or XLS. In some cases an editor may have intended to use |type=
to specify a kind of document, such as hard cover, paperback, or pamphlet. The |format=
and |...-format=
value is always displayed.
The list of |...-format=
parameters is:
|archive-format=
,|article-format=
,|chapter-format=
,|conference-format=
,|contribution-format=
,|entry-format=
,|event-format=
,|map-format=
,|section-format=
,|transcript-format=
(Citations that relied on the pre-2014, somewhat odd use of |url=
and |format=
may need adjustment in regard to |chapter-format=
.)
To resolve this error, remove |format=
or |chapter-format=
; define |url=
or |chapter-url=
; or change |format=
to |type=
(or to |chapter-format=
if |chapter-url=
is used without |url=
.
Pages with this error are automatically placed in Category:CS1 errors: format without URL.[a]
