| 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
|access-date=
without also providing a url for
|url=
.
The
|access-date=
is the date that the online resource addressed by
|url=
was added to the article. If
|access-date=
has been included in the citation without
|url=
then this message appears. If the citation does not use a web link, then
|access-date=
is redundant and should be removed.
When the online resource has a publication or other fixed date associated with it,
|access-date=
is of limited value though may be useful in identifying an appropriate archived version of the resource. Without
|url=
,
|access-date=
is not considered useful.
To resolve this error, provide a value for
|url=
or remove
|access-date=
. Editors should try to determine why the citation has
|access-date=
without
|url=
. For example, the citation may never have had a
|url=
, or
|url=
may have been removed because it links to a site that violates the creator's copyright (see
WP:COPYLINK
), or because
|url=
was deemed to be dead. If the citation never had
|url=
or it was removed for copyright violations, remove
|access-date=
. When a dead
|url=
has been removed, restore the
|url=
and if possible repair it (see
WP:LINKROT
).
Pages with this error are automatically placed in Category:CS1 errors: access-date without URL.
