Template:Cleanup bare URLs/doc

Usage[edit]

{{Cleanup bare URLs}}

Purpose[edit]

A bare URL is a link to a website with no identifying information except the link itself. It is not just a citation style that leaves the URL visible to the reader. However, these visible URLs should be accompanied by useful descriptions of the page being linked, such as information about the author, title, and/or publication. This template will add tagged articles to a cleanup category.
