വർഗ്ഗം:CS1 errors: missing author or editor

This is a tracking category for CS1 citations that have |author= or |editor= errors.

സഹായമേശ

|<first>n= missing |<last>n=

Citation Style 1 and Citation Style 2 templates requires a |<last>n= parameter for each |<first>n= parameter in a citation. Author, contributor, editor, interviewer, and translator lists are checked for proper last/first pairing. CS1|2 will emit this error message for the first mismatch it detects. If there are more last/first mismatches in a citation, subsequent mismatches are not detected.

There is no requirement that each |<last>n= have a matching |<first>n=.

To resolve this error, ensure that each |<first>n= has a corresponding |<last>n=.

Pages with this error are automatically placed in Category:CS1 errors: missing name (374 pages).^[a]

സഹായമേശ

Missing |<name>n=

So that all names are listed in a rendered citation, Citation Style 1 and Citation Style 2 templates require n in |<last>n= (and its aliases) to increment by 1 for each name in the list (author, contributor, editor, interviewer, translator). This error message is emitted when there is a 'hole' in the numbering (an author list made up of |author1= and |author3= but without |author2= for example).

The test will not detect a 'hole' that is larger than 1. It is presumed that when |authorn= and |authorn+1= are both not present, then the test has reached the end of the list.

To resolve this error, ensure that the numbering of the |<last>n= parameters increments properly.
