It is important to realize that this is not in itself a problem in terms of Wikipedia's policies, but sometimes offers opportunities for improvement and usability. All changes must be made in accordance with WP:CITEVAR .

To add the category, simply add [[Category:Wikipedia articles containing unlinked shortened footnotes]] at the bottom of the page of the article you want to list.

• Please note that changes should be in accordance with the existing citation methods and in a manner that would be generally considered helpful . When in doubt, consider seeking consensus for the change first. Inclusion in this category should not preclude considerations of these or other policies and guidelines .
• Also consider than when short citations make up an insignificant proportion of the references, and when page numbers are not included in the short citation, it may be more advantageous to convert these short citations to regular footnotes .
