Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]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=February 2025}}
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=February 2025}}</ref>- Result: [1]
References
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.
