This is a tracking category for CS1 citations that have title-holding parameters containing external links.
External link in |<param>=
This error occurs when any of the CS1 or CS2 citation title-holding parameters – |title=, |chapter=, |publisher=, |work= or any of its aliases: |journal=, |magazine=, |newspaper=, |periodical= and |website= – hold an external link (URL). External links in these parameters corrupt the citation's metadata and can be the source of a variety of other error messages.
To resolve this error, remove the external link from the identified parameter. Consider placing the external link in a more appropriate parameter:
- for
|chapter=, the URL may belong in|chapter-url=. - for other parameters, it may belong in
|url=.
Pages with this error are automatically placed in Category:CS1 errors: external links.[a]
