Category:CS1 errors: cite module

This is a tracking category.

It is used to build and maintain a list or lists of pages—primarily for the sake of the lists themselves and their use in article and category maintenance. It is not part of the encyclopedia's categorization scheme.

More information:

• This category is hidden on its member pages—unless the corresponding user preference (Appearance → Show hidden categories) 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 subcategories into a larger, more efficient list (discriminated by classifications).
• Typically, tracking categories are automatically populated by templates invoked in pages or by the MediaWiki software (see Special:TrackingCategories for an overview of the latter).

Administrators: Please do not delete this category as empty!

This category may be empty occasionally or even most of the time.

This is a tracking category for Module: Cite errors.

Help desk

These error messages are emitted by Module:Cite, a helper module for Module:Citation/CS1 that may be used to replace cs1|2 templates in articles that have or will exceed the Post-expand include size limit.

missing template name as first positional parameter

Module:Cite requires as its first positional parameter the canonical name of one of the cs1 templates (without the cite prefix) or the name of the cs2 template (citation). The module emits this error message when the first positional parameter is missing or empty.

unknown template name: <template name>

The module emits this error message when the first positional parameter is not the canonical name of a recognized cs1|2 template.

To resolve either of these errors, make sure that the module call has one of these canonical template names as its first positional parameter value:
