Category:CS1 maint: url-status

This is a tracking category It is used to build and maintain lists of pages—primarily for the sake of the lists themselves. They are not part of the encyclopedia's categorization scheme. More information: This category is hidden on its member pages—unless the corresponding user preference is set. These categories are used to track, build and organize lists of pages needing "attention en masse" (for example, pages using deprecated syntax), or that may need to be edited at someone's earliest convenience. These categories also serve to aggregate members of several lists or sub-categories into a larger, more efficient list (discriminated by classifications).

Administrators: Please do not delete this category even if it is empty! This category may be empty occasionally or even most of the time.

This is a tracking category for CS1 citations that use |url-status= with a proper assigned value when |archive-url= is empty or omitted. While not an error, cs1|2 templates that have |url-status= but not |archive-url= should be repaired. To repair, if the value is live, remove |url-status=. Otherwise, replace the citation or add |archive-url= and |archive-date=.

Generally speaking, |url-status= is only used when there is an archive. If there is no |archive-url=, this tag should not be used. This tag defines how the reference is displayed.

The basic options are:

• live = the original URL is valid. (why was the archive url even needed..) This is rarely needed unless an archive url has been added while the original url is still valid.
• dead = The original URL is similar to a 404 page not found error. Most archived URLs are used for this case.
• bot: unknown = If are not a bot, never use this. It is for when a bot cannot tell the status and needs someone to look at the original URL and make the decision. Take a quick look at the site and change this to the correct value. (either live or dead will clear the error)

Pages in this category should only be added by Module:Citation/CS1.
