Template:Bare URL image/doc

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

Usage

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

{{Bare URL image|date=February 2024}}

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

• <ref>http://www.navsource.org/archives/08/0858412.jpg {{bare URL image|date=February 2024}}</ref>
  • Result:

Template:Talkref This will still categorize the page for cleanup without cluttering the present paragraph with "^{[bare URL image]}", 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.
