<p>Add local editing help and repair template-index policy and help links; retain index layout</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>Some local citation templates use a citation module that reports missing or inconsistent fields. These messages identify a problem with the citation&#039;s data or format; they do not prove that its source is unreliable.<br /> <br /> == Find the citation ==<br /> Preview the page, locate the marked reference and edit its template call. Read the template&#039;s own documentation before adding fields. The local copy&#039;s supported parameters matter; another wiki&#039;s latest template may differ.<br /> <br /> == Common corrections ==<br /> * Supply a source title and the information that identifies the cited publication.<br /> * Check the URL, date and any identifier for typing errors. Do not invent an author, publication date or access date.<br /> * Use one supported field for the same value instead of contradictory duplicate parameters.<br /> * For named-reference errors, check the definition and repeated uses under [[Help:Footnotes]].<br /> <br /> Preview after each correction. If an unfamiliar error persists, link the affected article and a small example on the citation template&#039;s talk page. Avoid changing a widely used module to suppress one page&#039;s error. Follow [[Project:Template documentation]] for testing a shared template.</div>
