Template:Bare URL DOC/doc

icon This is a documentation subpage for Template:Bare URL DOC.
It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page.

This template is an inline alternative to {{Cleanup bare URLs }}, for use ONLY with links to .doc or .docx files, as created by Microsoft Word.

Usage

[edit ]

Paste this after a bare-URL reference/link to an image file:

{{Bare URL DOC|date=December 2025}}

It is best to place the tag inside a citation, just before the closing </ref> tag:

<ref>http://liverpool.gov.uk/media/1356173/sopn-nop-garston-halewood.docx {{bare URL DOC|date=December 2025}}</ref>
- Result: ^[1]

References

^ http://liverpool.gov.uk/media/1356173/sopn-nop-garston-halewood.docx ^{[bare URL DOC/DOCX file ]}

This will still categorize the page for cleanup without cluttering the present paragraph with "^{[bare URL DOC/DOCX]}", 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 image|{{subst:DATE}}}} shortcut method, because template substitution does not work inside <ref>...</ref> tags.
