This template is an inline alternative to {{Cleanup bare URLs}}, for use ONLY with links to PDF documents.
Usage[kulemba source]
Paste this after a bare-URL reference/link to a PDF document:
- {{Bare URL PDF|date=Meyi 2024}}
It is best to place the tag inside a citation, just before the closing </ref> tag:
<ref>https://researchbriefings.files.parliament.uk/documents/CBP-8749/CBP-8749.pdf {{bare URL PDF|date=Meyi 2024}}</ref>- Result: [1]
References
This will still categorize the page for cleanup without cluttering the present paragraph with "[bare URL PDF]", and it will also help track down the citation to improve by keeping the cleanup tag in the citation.
When doing it this way, the date must be manually entered; it cannot be done with the {{Bare URL PDF|{{subst:DATE}}}} shortcut method, because template substitution does not work inside <ref>...</ref> tags.
