==<span id="empty_citation">Empty citation</span>== <section begin=empty_citation_help_text />{{help desk}}<span class="error">Empty citation</span> A {{cs1}} or {{cs2}} template marked as "Empty" contains no recognizable parameter identifiers. For example, this citation is marked as "empty" even though it contains usable information: :<code><nowiki>{{cite web | http://www.foobar.com | The Foobar Bar}}</nowiki></code> The citation is "empty" because it does not contain the necessary parameter identifiers (in this case {{para|url}} and {{para|title}}) that tell {{tlx|cite web}} how to use the information that the citation does contain. A citation is also marked as "empty" when it contains only parameters that it doesn't recognize: :<code><nowiki>{{cite book |titolo=The Foobar Bar |anno=2015}}</nowiki></code> This citation is empty because the Italian-language parameters {{para|titolo}} and {{para|anno}} are not recognized as valid parameter names on MEpedia. "Empty citation" may also mean that an editor meant to use another template entirely. Perhaps the editor used {{tlx|citation}} when the intent was to use {{tlx|citation needed}} or {{tlx|quote}}. To resolve this error, add appropriate parameter identifiers, translate foreign language parameter names to their English equivalents, or replace the CS1|2 template with a more appropriate template. Pages with this error are automatically placed in {{#ifeq: {{FULLPAGENAME}} | Category:Pages with empty citations | Category:Pages with empty citations | [[:Category:Pages with empty citations]]}}.<ref group="lower-alpha" name="categories" /><section end=empty_citation_help_text />
