Category:Articles with plain text file bare URLs for citations

This is a tracking category. It is used to build and maintain 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 sub-categories 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 Bare URL references to plain text files (e.g. <ref>http://example.com/fubar.txt</ref>) which have been tagged with {{Bare URL plain text}} (e.g. <ref>http://example.com/fubar.txt {{Bare URL plain text|date=May 2024}}</ref>)

These bare URL refs are tracked separately because tools such as Citation bot, Reflinks and reFill cannot extract metadata from plain text files, so the metadata such as title, author and publication date needs to be added manually.
