Template:Author missing/doc

{{Author missing}} (or {{author?}} for short) is an inline cleanup template flagging a broken source citation that is missing author information (or at least the specified fact that author information is not available).

Use

• For all citations, append the tag to the end of the citation (usually just before the closing reference tag </ref>):

  {{author missing|date=January 2025}}

• In the occasional case of a partial name (e.g. just a family name, or some construction such as "Dr. Falstaff" or "Reagan and Parkes" or "VNEA" without the full information being provided in a "Notes", "References" or "Bibliography" section elsewhere on the page), you can change the displayed text to ^{[author incomplete]} using:

  {{author missing|partial=yes|date=January 2025}}

  or

  {{author incomplete|date=January 2025}}
