Template:Bare URL DOC

Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

This template is an inline alternative to {{Cleanup bare URLs}}, for use ONLY with links to .doc or .docx files, as created by Microsoft Word.

Usage

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

{{Bare URL DOC|date=February 2026}}

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

<ref>http://liverpool.gov.uk/media/1356173/sopn-nop-garston-halewood.docx {{bare URL DOC|date=February 2026}}</ref>
- Result: [1]

References

^ http://liverpool.gov.uk/media/1356173/sopn-nop-garston-halewood.docx [bare URL DOC/DOCX file]

This will still categorize the page for cleanup without cluttering the present paragraph with "[bare URL DOC/DOCX]", 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 }}} shortcut method, because template substitution does not work inside <ref>...</ref> tags.
