Category:CS1 maint: date format

Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'strict' not found. Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'strict' not found. This is a tracking category for CS1 templates that use any of the various date-holding parameters to hold date ranges where the separator character is a hyphen instead of the correct endash. Module:Citation/CS1 renders the date range with an endash and adds the article to this category for repair. Pages in this category should only be added by Module:Citation/CS1.

This is an endash, suitable for fixing citations using a hyphen: –.

While most of the Citation Style 1 and Citation Style 2 error messages are visible to all readers, some remain hidden. Editors who wish to see all of the CS1|2 error messages can do so by updating their common or skin CSS stylesheet to include:

.citation-comment {display: inline !important;} /* show all Citation Style 1 error messages */

Even with this css installed, older pages in Wikipedia's cache may not have been updated to show these error messages even though the page is listed in one of the tracking categories. A WP:NULLEDIT will resolve that issue.

The above code is required if you wish see maintenance category messages:
