This template is an inline alternative to {{Cleanup bare URLs}}, for use ONLY with links to plain text files.
Usage
Paste this after a bare-URL reference/link to a plain text file:
{{Bare URL plain text|date=February 2025}}
It is best to place the tag inside a citation, just before the closing </ref>
tag:
<ref>http://grao.bg/tna/tab02.txt {{bare URL plain text|date=February 2025}}</ref>
- Result:
References
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 plain text|{{subst:DATE}}}}
shortcut method, because template substitution does not work inside <ref>...</ref>
tags.
