Template:Bare URL spreadsheet/doc

This is a documentation subpage for Template:Bare URL spreadsheet.
It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original Template page.

[[Category:Template documentation pages{{#translation:}}]]

This template is an inline alternative to {{Cleanup bare URLs}}, for use ONLY with links to spreadsheet files.

Usage

Paste this after a bare-URL reference/link to a spreadsheet file:

{{Bare URL spreadsheet|date=November 2025}}

It is best to place the tag inside a citation, just before the closing </ref> tag:

<ref>http://example.com/foo.xls {{bare URL spreadsheet|date=November 2025}}</ref>
- Result: ^[1]

References

↑ http://example.com/foo.xls ^{[bare URL spreadsheet file]}

This will still categorize the page for cleanup without cluttering the present paragraph with "^{[bare URL spreadsheet file]}", and it will also help track down the citation to improve by keeping the cleanup tag in the citation. When doing it this way, the date must be manually entered; it cannot be done with the {{Bare URL spreadsheet|{{subst:DATE}}}} shortcut method, because template substitution does not work inside <ref>...</ref> tags.
