Pages in this category have a footnotes error that usually displays a MediaWiki message starting with {{color|red|Cite error:}}. See [[Help:Cite errors]] for further information.

* If an error message does not display, a reference starting with a {{tag|ref|o}} tag may be missing a closing {{tag|ref|c}} tag. This may also occur when it is a self-closing tag. Sometimes the reference will be <nowiki><ref name="xyz" /></nowiki>. If there is no content after the tag that should be a reference and there is no slash (/) before the last bracket, then that could be the problem.
* The problem might also be that there are nested ref tags. This can include having, for example, <nowiki>{{sfn}}</nowiki> tags inside {{tag|ref|o}} and {{tag|ref|c}}. The solution could be to delete the {{tag|ref|o}} and {{tag|ref|c}} tags or convert the <nowiki>{{sfn}}</nowiki> into a <nowiki>{{harvn}}</nowiki> tag for example.

The pages [[Template:Broken ref]], [[Help:Cite errors]] and subpages contain deliberate errors and do not need to be repaired.
