Editing Template:Harvard citation documentation (section)

===Citation format does not support anchors: [[Template:wikicite|<code><nowiki>{{wikicite}}</nowiki></code>]]===
In a few very rare cases, it may be impossible for the citation templates to create an anchor. Either (1) the citation is formatted with a template that does not support the {{para|ref}} parameter or (2) the source can't be described using our citation templates at all. In these cases, it is possible to use {{tl2|wikicite}} to make the anchor. (As of November 2010, there are only approximately 100 articles that require this technique.) It is also possible that (3) local editors would prefer not to use citation templates. In this case, it is important to discuss what the local editors would like to do about the bad links. It is always possible to simply remove {{tl2|harv}} or {{tl2|sfn}}, leaving plain text without links.

{{markup
|<nowiki>Article text.{{sfn |Big Government Agency|1999}}

==Notes==
{{reflist}}

==References==
* {{wikicite
 | reference = {{cite report
 | title=Important Government Report
 | publisher=Big Government Agency
 | date=1999
 }}
 | ref = {{harvid|Big Government Agency|1999}}
}}
</nowiki>

|{{fake notes and references
| Article text.{{sfn |Big Government Agency|1999}}
|* {{wikicite
| reference = {{cite report
 | title=Important Government Report
 | publisher=Big Government Agency
 | date=1999
}}
| ref = {{harvid|Big Government Agency|1999}}
}}}}
|<nowiki>Article text.{{sfn |A particularly unusual citation}}

==Notes==
{{reflist}}

==References==
* {{wikicite
| reference = A source that can't be described
using our citation templates at all.
| ref = {{harvid|A particularly unusual citation}}
}}
</nowiki>
|{{fake notes and references
| Article text.{{sfn |A particularly unusual citation}}
|* {{wikicite
| reference = A source that can't be described using our citation templates at all.
| ref = {{harvid|A particularly unusual citation}}
}}}}}}

It is also possible to use {{tag|cite|o}} to achieve the same effect, but this may not be compatible with [[HTML 5]].

{{Anchor|Citation has multiple authors and no date}}<!-- This workaround is no longer necessary. -->

{{anchor|No closing period}}
