Category:CS1 errors: extra text: pages

This is a tracking category. It is used to build and maintain a list or lists of pages—primarily for the sake of the lists themselves and their use in article and category maintenance. It is not part of the encyclopedia's categorization scheme. More information: This category is hidden on its member pages—unless the corresponding user preference (Appearance → Show hidden categories) is set. These categories are used to track, build and organize lists of pages needing "attention en masse" (for example, pages using deprecated syntax), or that may need to be edited at someone's earliest convenience. These categories also serve to aggregate members of several lists or subcategories into a larger, more efficient list (discriminated by classifications). Typically, tracking categories are automatically populated by templates invoked in pages or by the MediaWiki software (see Special:TrackingCategories for an overview of the latter).

Administrators: Please do not delete this category as empty! This category may be empty occasionally or even most of the time.

This is a tracking category for CS1 citations that have |edition= errors.

|<param>= has extra text

The templates are responsible for static text rendered in the citation. When |page=/|p=, |pages=/|pp=, |quote-page= or |quote-pages= is used in a template, cs1|2 inserts the appropriate pagination prefix 'p.' or 'pp.' ahead of the value in the parameter so:

|page=123

renders as:

p. 123

and:

|page=123–125

renders as:

pp. 123–125

The templates emit this error message when various forms of p, pp, pg, pgs, page, or pages are found in the value assigned to |page=/|p=, |pages=/|pp=, |quote-page= or |quote-pages=.

To resolve this error, remove the extraneous text from the parameter value.
