| 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 use:
|last#=
,
|author-last#=
,
|author#-last=
,
|author-surname#=
,
|author#-surname=
,
|subject-last#=
,
|subject#-last=
,
|subject-surname#=
,
|subject#-surname=
,
|author#=
,
|host#=
,
|subject#=
,
|surname#=
|first#=
,
|author-first#=
,
|author#-first=
,
|author-given#=
,
|author#-given=
,
|subject-first#=
,
|subject#-first=
,
|subject-given#=
,
|subject#-given=
,
|given#=
where the values assigned to these parameters are a mix of letters and digits.
In general, digits are not expected to be part of an author's name and so should be removed. When the author is a corporate or organizational name that legitimately includes digits, the
accept-this-as-written markup
may be applied to suppress this category.
Pages in this category should only be added by
Module:Citation/CS1
.
Pages with this condition are automatically placed in Category:CS1 maint: numeric names: authors list.
[a]
By default,
Citation Style 1
and
Citation Style 2
error messages
are visible to all readers and
maintenance messages
are hidden from all readers.
To display
maintenance messages
in the rendered article, include the following text in your common
CSS
page (
common.css
) or your specific skin's CSS page and (
skin.css
).
(Note to new editors: those CSS pages are specific to you, and control your view of pages, by adding to your user account's
CSS
code. If you have not yet created such a page, then clicking one of the
.css
links above will yield a page that starts "Wikipedia does not have a
user page
with this exact name." Click the "Start the User:
username
/
filename
page" link, paste the text below, save the page, follow the instructions at the bottom of the new page on bypassing your browser's cache, and finally, in order to see the previously hidden maintenance messages, refresh the page you were editing earlier.)
.
mw-parser-output
span
.
cs1-maint
{
display
:
inline
;}
/* display Citation Style 1 maintenance messages */
To display hidden-by-default
error messages
:
.
mw-parser-output
span
.
cs1-hidden-error
{
display
:
inline
;}
/* display hidden Citation Style 1 error messages */
Even with this CSS installed, older pages in Wikipedia's cache may not have been updated to show these error messages even though the page is listed in one of the tracking categories. A
null edit
will resolve that issue.
- After (error and/maintenance) messages are displayed, it might still not be easy to find them in a large article with a lot of citations. This advice (originaly from talk page) might help:
I use CTRL+F and search for
(help)
to find error messages and
cs1
to find maintenance messages.
To hide normally-displayed
error messages
:
.
mw-parser-output
span
.
cs1-visible-error
{
display
:
none
;}
/* hide Citation Style 1 error messages */
You can personalize the display of these messages (such as changing the color), but you will need to ask someone who knows CSS or at
the technical village pump
if you do not understand how.
Nota bene
: these CSS rules are not obeyed by
Navigation popups
. They also do not hide script warning messages in the Preview box that begin with "This is only a preview; your changes have not yet been saved".
