| It is used to build and maintain lists of pages—primarily for the sake of the lists themselves and their use in article and category maintenance. It is not part of the
encyclopedia's categorization scheme
.
More information:
- This category is
hidden
on its
member pages
—unless the corresponding
user preference
(Appearance → Show hidden categories) is set.
- These categories are used to track, build and organize lists of pages needing "attention
en masse
" (for example, pages using deprecated syntax), or that may need to be edited at someone's earliest convenience.
- These categories also serve to aggregate members of several lists or sub-categories into a larger, more efficient list (
discriminated by classifications
).
- Typically, tracking categories are automatically populated by templates invoked in pages or by the MediaWiki software (see
Special:TrackingCategories
for an overview of the latter).

This is a tracking category for
CS1 citations
that have invalid generic values in name parameters.
Articles are listed in this category when
Module:Citation/CS1
identifies template author or editor name parameters that use place-holder names. Such names may have been provided by bots or other tools that are unable to identify the source's correct names. Pages in this category should only be added by Module:Citation/CS1.
CS1|2 maintains a short list of 'names' that are typically not the correct names for the cited source. Some examples are:
about us
author
collaborator
contributor
contact us
directory
editor
email
facebook
google
home page
instagram
interviewer
linkedIn
pinterest
policy
privacy
site name
statement
submitted
super user
translator
tumblr
twitter
user
verfasser
If you are aware of other common place-holder names, please report them at
Help talk:Citation Style 1
, so that they can be added to the list.
To resolve this error, replace the place-holder name with the source's actual author or editor name, or use a more appropriate parameter.
Example fixes:
- Replace
|author=Smith, Jane, editor
with
|editor=Smith, Jane
- Replace
|author=[[Jane Smith (author)|Jane Smith]]
with
|first=Jane |last=Smith |author-link=Jane Smith (author)
(preferably) or
|author=Jane Smith |author-link=Jane Smith (author)
False positives are possible. When the name is valid, wrap the parameter value in the
accept-this-as-written markup
:
|author=((Super User))
Please do not use this markup when it is not appropriate.
Pages with this error are automatically placed in Category:CS1 errors: generic name.
