Template:Subscription required
(subscription required)
 | This function is now built into {{citation}} and the Citation Style 1 templates by use of |url-access= and |via=. |
 | This template is used on many pages and changes may be widely noticed. Test changes in the template's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own user subpage. Consider discussing changes on the talk page before changing this template. |
The {{subscription required}} template can be used to flag an external link that requires a paid subscription.
Use the {{subscription required}} template when:
- You create or find a link to an external website
- in a reference citation
- OR
- in a paragraph within the body of an article
- OR
- in the "External links" section of an article
- AND
- a reader must pay to subscribe to the website to gain access to the linked page.
Usage[change source]
Using {{subscription required}} will place a note by the link.
Append the {{subscription required}} template directly after the link or citation template, leaving the original link intact. If the {{subscription required}} template is not placed directly after the link or citation template, the template will not be correctly detected by automated tools.
If the external link is part of a reference citation, the {{subscription required}} template should be placed directly after the link or citation template but before the </ref> tag. Placing {{subscription required}} directly after the link or citation template but before the </ref> tag will cause the subscription required message to appear in the footnote reference area of the article rather than in the body of the text. Placing the message in the body of the text is not recommended in this situation.
