Template:Bare URL non-HTML/doc

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

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

Note that for some widely-used content types, more specific templates are available. See #See also.

Usage

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

{{Bare URL non-HTML|date=July 2026}}

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

<ref>http://example.com/foobar.zip {{bare URL non-HTML|date=July 2026}}</ref>
- Result: ^[1]

References

↑ http://example.com/foobar.zip ^{[bare URL non-HTML file]}

This will still categorize the page for cleanup without cluttering the present paragraph with "^{[bare URL non-HTML]}", 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.
