This page describes the error messages reported by the {{cs1}} citations highlighted in the table on the right side of this page, what they mean, and how editors might resolve the errors.
Prior to 2013, the CS1 templates used the meta-template {{tlx|Citation/core}}. In 2013, as part of the [[WP:LUA]] project, Wikipedia editors upgraded the CS1 series of templates using a single [[Lua (programming language)|Lua]] module. [[Module:Citation/CS1]] is the engine that controls how CS1 citations are displayed and how citation data are passed to external referencing tools through [[COinS]] metadata. The benefits of the upgrade are enhanced performance, reduced complexity and redundancy, and for the purposes of this page, improved error detection, categorization, and reporting.
==Controlling error message display==
<section begin=control_error_messages_help_text /><section begin=show_error_messages_help_text
:{{code|.citation-comment {display: inline !important;} /* show all Citation Style 1 error messages */||lang=css}}
Even with this css installed, older pages in ''Wikipedia''{{'}}s cache may not have been updated to show these error messages even though the page is listed in one of the tracking categories. A [[WP:NULLEDIT]] will resolve that issue.<section end=show_error_messages_help_text />
<section begin=hide_error_messages_help_text />Editors who do not wish to see any of the CS1 error messages can hide them all by updating their [[Special:MyPage/common.css|common]] or [[Special:MyPage/skin.css|skin]] CSS stylesheet to include:
:{{code|.citation-comment {display: none;} /* hide all Citation Style 1 error messages */ |lang=css}}<section end=hide_error_messages_help_text /><section end=control_error_messages_help_text />

The {{para|accessdate}} is the date that the web resource addressed by {{para|url}} was added to the article. If {{para|accessdate}} has been included in the citation without {{para|url}} then this message appears. If the citation does not use a web link, then {{para|accessdate}} is redundant and should be removed.
=== When the web resource has a publication or other fixed date associated with it, {{para|accessdate}} is of limited value though may be useful in identifying an appropriate archived version of the resource. Without {{para|url}}, {{para|accessdate}} is not considered useful. ===

The {{para|authorlink}} links an associated {{para|author}} parameter value to the author's existing Wikipedia article. It should contain only the Wikipedia article name. [[Module:Citation/CS1]] checks {{para|authorlink}} for a [[URI scheme]] (<code>http://</code>, <code>https://</code>, the protocol relative scheme <code>//</code>, etc.).
To resolve this error, ensure that the {{para|authorlink}} value is the full name of a Wikipedia article (without brackets), and not a link to an external site.

When [[Help:Citation Style 1|CS1 citations]] contain date-holding parameters, an automated test is done to see if the dates are real dates that comply with a [[Help:Citation Style 1#Dates|subset]] of [[Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Dates and numbers#Dates and years|WP:DATESNO]].<!-- WP:DATESNO shortcut not working properly? 2014-10-29 -->
To resolve this error, ensure that the date is an actual date and that the date format follows the Wikipedia style sheet in the named parameter. Some things to look for:
*misplaced, incorrect, or extraneous punctuation
*extraneous text
*incomplete year-initial dates
*hyphens instead of en dashes
*misspelling or improper capitalization
*date formats listed in [[WP:BADDATEFORMAT]]
*impossible dates (e.g., 29 February 2011)
*errors in {{para|
*more than one date in a date-holding parameter
Future dates
Dates prior to 1582 are treated as [[Julian calendar]] dates. Dates from 1582 onward are treated as [[Gregorian calendar]] dates. The Julian calendar was used in some places until approximately 1923. Three Julian calendar dates in the overlap period, 29 February in the years 1700, 1800, and 1900, will cause this error message because those years are not leap years in the Gregorian calendar.

{{cs1}} templates that contain {{para|isbn}} are checked to ensure that the [[ISBN]] is the proper length (ten or thirteen digits), that the ISBN uses the correct optional separators (simple space or hyphen), and that the final [[check digit]] is correct according to the ISBN specification. Only one ISBN is allowed in this field because the whole {{para|isbn}} value is included in the citation's [[COinS]] [[metadata]]. See also [[Wikipedia:COinS]]. More than one ISBN, or characters that are not part of the ISBN, corrupt the COinS metadata and may also corrupt the link to [[Special:BookSources]].
To resolve this error, ensure that the {{para|isbn}} value is correct, that only one ISBN is used, that the proper optional separators are used, and that no other text is included. Use the 13-digit ISBN ''when it is available''. When a 10-digit ISBN is used, if the check digit is a lowercase 'x', change it to an uppercase 'X'.
*'''Do not''' try to resolve the error by simply recalculating the check digit. The check digit is there to check whether the main part of the number is correct. If the ISBN is failing to validate, it is likely that there is a typo in the main part of the number. In this case, recalculating the check digit results in an apparently valid ISBN that leads to the wrong source (or to nowhere).
*If you only have a 10-digit ISBN, '''do''' use the number as-is, do not try to convert it
*If the ISBN as printed in your source is refusing to validate, '''do''' check both the front matter and the book cover for ISBNs. It is not uncommon for the ISBN to be misprinted in the front matter but correct on the cover.
*'''Do''' preview your edit and check that the new ISBN does now link to the correct source.
In very rare cases, publishers have released books with malformed ISBNs. If you are certain that a non-conforming ISBN truly corresponds to the published work, then you can add {{para|ignore-isbn-error|true}} to the citation in order to suppress the error message. In many cases, books may have been reissued with a corrected ISBN. Use a corrected ISBN when possible.

External links in [[Help:Citation Style 1|CS1 citations]] are made from two parts: the ''title'' ({{para|title}}, {{para|chapter}}, etc.) and the ''URL'' ({{para|url}}, {{para|archiveurl}}, {{para|chapter-url}}, {{para|laysummary}}, etc.). The {{para|url}} parameter and other URL parameters must begin with a supported [[URI scheme]]. The URI schemes <code>http://</code>, <code>https://</code> and the protocol relative scheme <code>//</code> are most commonly used; <code>irc://</code>, <code>ircs://</code>, <code>ftp://</code>, <code>news:</code>, <code>mailto:</code> and <code>gopher://</code> are also supported.
The URL field is checked to ensure it includes either a colon (<code>:</code>) or the double forward slash (<code>//</code>). Further validation is not performed.
To resolve this error, ensure that {{para|url}} and other URL parameters contain valid URLs.

To resolve this error for cited sources with more than nine authors, add the remaining authors to the citation or set {{para|displayauthors}} to <code>8</code> or some lesser value to truncate the author list. If there are exactly nine authors, then set {{para|displayauthors}} to <code>9</code> or higher to display all nine authors without "et al."
Prior to the introduction of [[WP:LUA|Lua]]-based citations, the citation formatting templates were designed to support no more than nine authors. If nine (or more) author parameters were specified, then the template would display eight author names followed by "et al." to indicate that the list had been truncated. Some editors relied on this behavior to include the "et al." label. For example:
{{cite compare |mode=book |last=First |last2=Second |last3=Third |last4=Fourth |last5=Fifth |last6=Sixth |last7=Seventh |last8=Eighth |last9=Ninth |last10=Tenth |last11=Eleventh |last12=Twelfth |title=Twelve Little Authors}}
The Lua-based citation templates can accommodate an arbitrarily large number of authors. As with the old templates, the Lua-based templates can explicitly include an "et al." label with the {{para|displayauthors}} parameter.
{{cite compare |mode=book |last=First |last2=Second |last3=Third |last4=Fourth |last5=Fifth |last6=Sixth |last7=Seventh |last8=Eighth |last9=Ninth |last10=Tenth |last11=Eleventh |last12=Twelfth |title=Twelve Little Authors |displayauthors=3}}
The old-style templates supported at most nine authors. The new Lua-based templates cannot know if editors created citations with exactly nine authors because there were only nine authors, or because old-style citations were limited to nine authors. This error message is reported by citations with exactly nine authors but without {{para|displayauthors}}. To preserve the behavior of old-style citations, Lua-based citations display "et al." in place of the ninth author.

To resolve this error for cited sources with more than four editors, add the remaining editors to the citation or set {{para|displayeditors}} to <code>3</code> or some lesser value to truncate the editor list. If there are exactly four editors, then set {{para|displayeditors}} to <code>4</code> or higher to display all four editors without including "et al."
Prior to the introduction of [[WP:LUA|Lua]]-based citations, the citation formatting templates were designed to support no more than four editors. Specifically, if four (or more) editor parameters were specified, then the template would display three editor names followed by "et al." to indicate that the list had been truncated. Some editors relied on this behavior to include the "et al." label. For example:
{{cite compare |mode=book |editor-last=First |editor2-last=Second |editor3-last=Third |editor4-last=Fourth |editor5-last=Fifth |last=Milquetoast |first=Caspar |authorlink=Caspar Milquetoast |title=If You Won't Think it Presumptuous of Me}}
The Lua-based citation templates can accommodate an arbitrarily large number of editors. The Lua-based templates can also explicitly include an "et al." label with the new {{para|displayeditors}} parameter, a parameter that was not available to the old-style templates.
{{cite compare |mode=book |editor-last=First |editor2-last=Second |editor3-last=Third |editor4-last=Fourth |editor5-last=Fifth |last=Milquetoast |first=Caspar |authorlink=Caspar Milquetoast |title=If You Won't Think it Presumptuous of Me |displayeditors=2}}
The old-style templates supported at most four editors. The new Lua-based templates cannot know if ''Wikipedia'' editors created citations with exactly four editors because there were only four editors or, because old-style citations were limited to four editors. This error message is reported by citations with exactly four editors but without {{para|displayeditors}}. To preserve the behavior of old-style citations, Lua-based citations display "et al." in place of the fourth editor.

This error occurs when [[Help:Citation Style 1|CS1 citations]] attempt to simultaneously use more than one of the parameters: {{para|page}}, {{para|pages}}, or {{para|at}}. Each of these parameters is meant to provide a different way of specifying the location within a larger work, of the cited content, that is, of the specific page(s) or place in a cited source that contains the information that supports the article text. Only one of these parameters is displayed in any rendered citation. According to their intended purpose, {{para|page}} should be used to specify a single page that is relevant to the cited content, {{para|pages}} should be used to specify a range or list of pages (e.g. 37–42) that are relevant, and {{para|at}} should be used to indicate a location in the larger work that is not a numbered page (e.g. "back cover"). Sometimes, editors misunderstand the meaning of {{para|pages}}, and attempt to use it to indicate the total number of pages in the resource.
When {{para|page}} is used with either or both of {{para|pages}} or {{para|at}}, only the {{para|page}} value is displayed. Similarly, when {{para|pages}} is used with {{para|at}}, only the {{para|pages}} value is displayed.
To resolve this error, remove the inappropriate parameter.

Sometimes this error occurs because an editor has used a CS1 citation as a [[Help:Shortened footnotes|shortened footnote]] when {{tlx|sfn}} or one of the {{tlx|harv}} family of templates would have been more appropriate. This error also occurs when an editor used {{tlx|citation|date{{=}}<some date>}} but intended to use {{tlx|citation needed|date{{=}}<some date>}}.
To resolve this error, provide a value for {{para|title}} or replace the CS1 citation with a more appropriate template.

This error can also be caused by vertical bars that are part of URLs or titles. When vertical bars occur in URLs, replace each vertical bar with <code>%7c</code>. When vertical bars occur in parameter values that are not URLs, replace each vertical bar with <code>&#124;
To resolve this error, remove the extraneous text, add '=', add an appropriate parameter name from the [[Help:Citation Style 1|citation template]] you're using to complete the parameter, or properly encode vertical bars in URLs and titles.

[[Help:Citation Style 1|CS1 citations]] report this error when the name portion of a parameter's {{para|name|value}} pair is not recognized as a valid name. Typically, this is caused by spelling errors.
With the old-style citation templates, it was possible to include information within the template that was simply ignored as unrecognized parameters. The Lua-based CS1 engine does not ignore unrecognized parameters. The purpose of the citation is to properly identify the source; not act as a repository of notes and ancillary information.
To resolve this error, ensure that the parameter's name is correctly spelled and that there are no characters except spaces between the parameter's name and the leading vertical bar (|) or trailing equal sign (=). A list of valid parameters can be found by consulting [[Help:Citation Style 1]] or visiting the description page of the specific template being used, such as {{tlx|cite web}}, {{tlx|cite book}}, {{tlx|cite journal}}, etc. Consider moving information associated with the unknown parameter into an appropriate parameter or to a section of the article's talk page for preservation.
For frequently encountered spelling errors, consider adding the misspelled parameter name to the [[Module:Citation/CS1/Suggestions|list]] of common parameter misspellings.

[[Help:Citation Style 1|CS1 citations]] report this error when the name portion of a parameter's {{para|name|value}}-pair is not recognized as a valid name. With very few exceptions CS1 citation parameters are lower case. CS1 will report this error when the parameter's name contains uppercase letters ({{!xt|Xxxx, xxXx, XXXX}}) but the parameter's name is defined as lowercase ({{xt|xxxx}}). Some parameters, like {{para|isbn}} can be either lowercase or uppercase, but not of mixed case ({{xt|{{para|isbn}}}} or {{xt|{{para|ISBN}}}} but not {{!xt|{{para|Isbn}}}}). CS1 will also report this error when the parameter's name matches a name in the [[Module:Citation/CS1/Suggestions|list]] of common parameter misspellings (found {{para|acessdate}} but expected {{para|accessdate}}).
CS1 will offer a suggested parameter name from the list of valid parameters or from the list of common parameter misspellings.
To resolve this error, replace the erroneous parameter name with a correct one, possibly using the suggested name.

<section begin=wikilink_in_url_help_text />{{help desk}}<span class="error">Wikilink embedded in URL title</span>
External links in a rendered citation are a combination of url-holding parameters, {{para|url}}, {{para|chapterurl}}, etc., with title-holding parameters, {{para|title}}, {{para|chapter}}, etc. Title-holding parameters may be [[wikilink]]ed to another Wikipedia article but not when there is a matching url-holding parameter in the citation. When this condition occurs, the wikilink is suppressed, the wiki markup ignored, and the rendered citation links to the external site.
Some [[Help:Template|templates]] will also cause this error if they are part of a title-holding parameter. The error occurs when the template produces wikilinked content. For example, {{tlx|lang}} templates output a wikilinked category. Templates in url-holding parameters may also corrupt the citation's [[WP:COinS|COinS]] metadata. As a general rule, avoid using templates in title-holding parameters unless you know that the template's affects are entirely visual ({{tlx|!}} and the like).

To resolve errors in identifier-based citation templates, the template must be edited to correct the error. Exercise caution when editing these templates because identifier-based citation templates are often used in multiple articles.
