This is a tracking category for CS1 citations that have invalid generic values in name parameters.
|<param>=
has generic name
Articles are listed in this category when Module:Citation/CS1 identifies template author or editor name parameters that use place-holder names. Such names may have been provided by bots or other tools that are unable to identify the source's correct names. Pages in this category should only be added by Module:Citation/CS1.
![]() | This feature is new and currently has several fixes pending. If your concern has not been reported, please report it at Help talk:Citation Style 1/Archive 81#Generic names change. |
CS1|2 maintains a short list of 'names' that are typically not the correct names for the cited source. Some examples are:
about us
author
collaborator
contributor
contact us
directory
editor
email
facebook
google
home page
instagram
interviewer
linkedIn
pinterest
policy
privacy
translator
tumblr
twitter
site name
statement
submitted
super user
user
verfasser
If you are aware of other common place-holder names, please report them at Help talk:Citation Style 1, so that they can be added to the list.
To resolve this error, replace the place-holder name with the source's actual author or editor name, or use a more appropriate parameter.
Example fixes:
- Replace
|author=Smith, Jane, editor
with|editor=Smith, Jane
- Replace
|author=[[Jane Smith (author)|Jane Smith]]
with|author=Jane Smith |author-link=Jane Smith (author)
False positives are possible. When the name is valid, wrap the parameter value in the accept-this-as-written markup:
|author=((Super User))
Please do not use this markup when it is not appropriate.
