Template:Subscription or advertising
(subscription or advertising required)
Template documentationThe {{Subscription or advertising}} template can be used to flag an external link that requires a paid subscription or acceptance of advertising (and perhaps trackers).
Use the {{Subscription or advertising}} 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, or unblock advertising (and/or tracking) to gain access to the linked page.
Usage
Using {{Subscription or advertising}} will place a note by the link.
Append the {{subscription or advertising}} template directly after the link or citation template, leaving the original link intact. If the {{Subscription or advertising}} 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 or advertising}} template should be placed directly after the link or citation template but before the </ref> tag. Placing {{Subscription or advertising}} 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.
