This template is used to indicate that a [[WP:CITESHORT|shortened footnote]] or [[WP:PAREN|parenthetical reference]] contains a bad link to the main citation at the bottom of the page. (Please read the sections in [[Wikipedia:Citing sources]] that describe shortened footnotes and/or parenthetical references if these citation methods are unfamiliar to you. If you are not familiar with the way short inline citations are linked to citations at the bottom of the page, then please see [[Wikipedia:Citing_sources/Further_considerations#Wikilinks_to_full_references]].

There are several possible solutions:
#The correct citation appears at the bottom of the page, however, either:
##The name is spelled wrong in either here or in the citation. '''Solution''': check the source for the correct spelling.
##The year is wrong either here or in the citation. '''Solution''': check the source for the correct year.
##The template requires {{para|ref|harv}} (not needed for {{tl|citation}}, but is needed for all other templates). '''Solution''': Add {{para|ref|harv}}.
##This link uses handwritten link (such as <code><nowiki>[[#Reference-Smith-2000|Smith (2000)]]</nowiki></code> but the template does not contain {{para|ref|<Identifier>}} or the identifier is incorrect. '''Solution''': Replace the link code with {{tl|sfn}}, {{tl|harv}}, {{tl|harvnb}} or {{tl|harvtxt}} as appropriate, or match up the identifier names.
##The citation at the bottom of the page is handwritten and either:
###It has no wikicode to create an anchor. '''Solution''': If citation templates are used liberally throughout the article, then reformat the citation with the appropriate template (such as {{tl|cite book}}, etc.) and set the {{para|ref}} appropriately. Otherwise (if the article contains no citation templates) use {{tl|wikicite}} to create an anchor for this citation.
###Uses a <code><nowiki><cite></nowiki></code> span to create an anchor. '''Solution''': remove the cite span (these are deprecated) and proceed as with the previous.
###Uses {{tl|wikicite}}. '''Solution''': Check that the id matches.
#The citation does ''not'' appear at the bottom of the page. '''Solution''': Either
:*Find the source (it may be copied from an article on a similar subject), and check that it verifies the text, or
:*Mark the shortened footnote or harvard reference with {{tl|fact}}.
