 | This is a documentation subpage for Template:Bare URL PDF. It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. |

This template is an inline alternative to {{Cleanup bare URLs}}, for use ONLY with links to PDF documents.
Usage
Paste this after a bare-URL reference/link to a PDF document:
{{Bare URL PDF|date=October 2024}}
It is best to place the tag inside a citation, just before the closing </ref> tag:
<ref>https://researchbriefings.files.parliament.uk/documents/CBP-8749/CBP-8749.pdf {{bare URL PDF|date=October 2024}}</ref>- Result: [1]
References
This will still categorize the page for cleanup without cluttering the present paragraph with "[bare URL PDF]", 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 PDF|{{subst:DATE}}}} shortcut method, because template substitution does not work inside <ref>...</ref> tags.
Tracking categories

- Category:All articles with bare URLs for citations — 0 pages
