Template:Sfn whitelist/doc
 | This is a documentation subpage for Template:Sfn whitelist. It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
This template produces no output. The {{sfn}} and {{harv}} families of short-cite templates can emit error messages identifying short-cite templates that cannot find the target anchor to which they are supposed to link.
The short-cite templates cannot always locate anchor IDs that do exist – for the technical details, see Category:Harv and Sfn template errors. These unseen anchor IDs cause the short-cite templates to emit false-positive error messages. The purpose of {{sfn whitelist}} is to hold a list of valid anchor IDs so that the short-cite error message is suppressed.
Usage
[edit]If a series of short-cite templates are reporting no-target errors for these example valid anchor IDs:
CITEREFBrand1968, CITEREFFine1994, CITEREFGeanakoplos1959, and CITEREFVan_Tricht2011
add the following somewhere in the article (in or near the appropriate reference section is probably best):
{{sfn whitelist|CITEREFBrand1968|CITEREFFine1994|CITEREFGeanakoplos1959|CITEREFVan_Tricht2011}}
The anchor IDs should be copy/pasted directly from the short-cite template's error message.
