Category:Pages with authority control identifiers needing attention

This is a tracking category. It is used to build and maintain lists of pages—primarily for the sake of the lists themselves and their use in article and category maintenance. It is not part of the encyclopedia's categorization scheme. More information: This category is hidden on its member pages—unless the corresponding user preference is set. These categories are used to track, build and organize lists of pages needing "attention en masse" (for example, pages using deprecated syntax), or that may need to be edited at someone's earliest convenience. These categories also serve to aggregate members of several lists or sub-categories into a larger, more efficient list (discriminated by classifications).

This category may contain pages that use {{Authority control}} or are associated with the template, and which need attention. They are sorted under the various different issues, listed below.

• D: A page is connected to a Wikidata item but has a |qid= parameter which does not match. (This parameter will be ignored by the template, but it's probably worth to check what has happened and remove the invalid parameter.)
• N: Page has a non-existent authority control category. The most likely cause is that a new identifier has recently been added, but the editor has yet to create the corresponding categories.
• Q: An invalid |qid= parameter has been specified.
• R: Additional parameter is a duplicate of qid parameter.
• S: A page is using an unrecognised |state= parameter. It should be either collapsed, expanded or autocollapse. Any invalid values can be fixed or removed.
• U: Categories listed here do not conform to any expected naming convention, rendering the template useless. The solution is to either remove the template from the category, or improve/update the module to accommodate the new category naming convention.
