|<param>= missing title

All Citation Style 1 and Citation Style 2 templates report this error when one of the URL-containing parameters cannot be paired with an associated title. This error may also occur when |title= cannot be linked with |url= because the citation also contains a conflicting |title-link= parameter.

URL-containing parameters and associated title parameters
URL parameters Title parameters
|archive-url= |title=
|article-url= |article=, |chapter=, |contribution=, |entry=, |section=
|chapter-url= |chapter=, |article=, |contribution=, |entry=, |section=
|conference-url= |conference=, |event=
|contribution-url= |contribution=, |chapter=, |article=, |entry=, |section=
|entry-url= |entry=, |chapter=, |article=, |contribution=, |section=
|event-url= |event=, |conference=
|map-url= |map=
|section-url= |section=, |chapter=, |article=, |contribution=, |entry=
|transcript-url= |transcript=
|url= |title=

A unique case exists for {{cite journal}}: if |pmc= or |doi= has a value, |url= is omitted or empty, and |title-link= does not point to an article, then |title= is automatically linked with the same URL as the PMC or DOI. This default behaviour can be overridden using |title-link=none/pmc/doi.

Because URLs are ugly and generally uninformative, it is expected that editors should provide a meaningful title for each URL. In most cases this can be accomplished by using the |title= parameter.

To resolve this error, provide an appropriate title for the URL-containing parameter. In the case where |url= and |title-link= are contending for |title= you must choose which one to keep. Consider moving |url= or |title-link= to a more suitable parameter.

Pages with this error are automatically placed in Category:CS1 errors: bare URL (26,208 pages).[a]
