This is a documentation subpage for Template:Cite whitelink. It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page.

This template creates an invisible link with a given destination anchor in order to resolve scripted warning messages about citations with no in-links pointing to them.

Usage

If the script is reporting citations with no links pointing to them, these warnings can be suppressed with this template. For example, if it's reporting these example valid anchor IDs:

CITEREFBrand1968, CITEREFFine1994, CITEREFGeanakoplos1959, and CITEREFVan_Tricht2011

somewhere in the article (in or near the appropriate reference section is probably best) add this:

{{cite whitelink|CITEREFBrand1968|CITEREFFine1994|CITEREFGeanakoplos1959|CITEREFVan_Tricht2011}}

The anchor IDs may be copied directly from the scripot error message, or a harvid composed of the last name(s) of the author(s) followed by the year may be used instead:

{{cite whitelink|{{harvid|Brand|1968}}|{{harvid|Fine|1994}}|{{harvid|Geanakoplos|1959}}|{{harvid|Van_Tricht|2011}} }}

which produces the identical result.

Notes

The template may also be used to keep chapter citations together with the book they are a part of, even if not all the chapters are cited in the body of the article.
