Template:Bare URL image

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

This template is used on approximately 2,200 pages and changes may be widely noticed. Test changes in the template's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own user subpage. Consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them.

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

Usage

Paste this after a bare-URL reference/link to an image file:

{{Bare URL image|date=April 2024}}

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

<ref>http://www.navsource.org/archives/08/0858412.jpg {{bare URL image|date=April 2024}}</ref>
- Result: ^[1]

References

^ http://www.navsource.org/archives/08/0858412.jpg ^{[bare URL image file]}

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