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=January 2025}}
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=January 2025}}</ref>
- Result:
This will still categorize the page for cleanup without cluttering the present paragraph with "", 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.
