Template:Subscription required/doc
This is a documentation subpage for Template:Terminate sentence It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
The {{subscription required}}
template can be used to flag an external link that requires a paid subscription. It does not currently categorise the article for cleanup.
Use the {{subscription required}}
template when:
- You create or find a link to an external website
- in a reference citation
- OR
- in a paragraph within the body of an article
- OR
- in the "External Links" section of an article
- AND
- a reader must pay to subscribe to the website to gain access to the linked page
Using {{subscription required}}
will place a note by the URL.
Append the {{subscription required}}
template directly after the link or citation template, leaving the original link intact. If the {{subscription required}}
template is not placed directly after the link or citation template, the template will not be correctly detected by automated tools.
If the external link is part of a reference citation, the {{subscription required}}
template should be placed directly after the link or citation template but before the </ref>
tag. Placing {{subscription required}}
directly after the link or citation template but before the </ref>
tag will cause the subscription required message to appear in the footnote reference area of the article rather than in the body of the text. Placing the message in the body of the text is not recommended in this situation.
