Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting
 | This is a maintenance category, used for maintenance of the Wikipedia project. It is not part of the encyclopedia and contains non-article pages, or groups articles by status rather than subject. Do not include this category in content categories.
This is a tracking category. It builds and maintains a list of pages primarily for the sake of the list itself. They are not part of the encyclopedia's categorization scheme.

 | This category has a backlog that requires the attention of willing editors. This notice will hide itself when this category has fewer than 80 items. () |
Pages in this category have a footnotes error that usually displays a MediaWiki message starting with Cite error:. See Help:Cite errors for further information.
- If an error message does not display, a reference starting with a
<ref>tag may be missing a closing</ref>tag. This may also occur when it is a self-closing tag. Sometimes the reference will be <ref name="xyz" />. If there is no content after the tag that should be a reference and there is no slash (/) before the last bracket, then that could be the problem. - The problem might also be that there are nested ref tags. This can include having, for example, {{sfn}} tags inside
<ref>and</ref>. The solution could be to delete the<ref>and</ref>tags or convert the {{sfn}} into a {{harvn}} tag for example.
The pages Template:Broken ref, Help:Cite errors and subpages contain deliberate errors and do not need to be repaired.
If you fix an error, you can leave this edit summary if you wish:
