| 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
with unrecognized parameter names.
Citation Style 1
and
Citation Style 2
templates report this error when the name portion of a parameter's
|name=value
pair is not recognized as a valid name. Typically, this is caused by spelling or capitalization errors or when a page is reverted to a version where the citation template did support the parameter. It can also be caused by the use of parameters that are valid in some, but not all, CS1|2 templates. For example,
{{
cite book
}}
citations are sometimes erroneously created using
|title=
and
|work=
when they should use
|chapter=
and
|title=
instead.
The CS1|2 engine does not ignore unrecognized parameters. The purpose of the citation is to properly identify the source, not to act as a repository of notes and ancillary information.
CS1|2 template parameters are lower case. CS1|2 will report this error when the parameter's name contains uppercase letters (
Xxxx, xxXx, XXXX
) but the parameter's name is defined as lowercase (
xxxx
). Some identifier parameters, like
|isbn=
,
|pmc=
,
|doi=
, etc., can be either lower case or upper case, but not of mixed case (
|isbn=
or
|ISBN=
but not
|Isbn=
). For
common parameter misspellings
, like
|pubisher=
instead of
|publisher=
and some former template parameters, CS1|2 will suggest a valid parameter name. The
list of deprecated and recently removed parameters
may contain additional information as well.
Reported unknown parameters following a
|DUPLICATE_<param>=
scheme are created by
Citation Bot
when it finds duplicate parameters
|<param>=
in a template.
To resolve this error, replace the erroneous parameter name with a correct one, possibly using the suggested name. 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 equals 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
{{
cite web
}}
,
{{
cite book
}}
,
{{
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.
Pages with this error are automatically placed in Category:CS1 errors: unsupported parameter.
