This is a documentation subpage for Template:Bare URL image.
It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page.

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=July 2026}}

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=July 2026}}</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.
