{{tl|Author missing}} (or {{tl|author?}} for short) is an inline cleanup template flagging a broken source citation that is missing author information (or at least the specified fact that author information is not available).<br />
<br />
==Usage==<br />
<br />
*For all citations, append the tag to the end of the citation (usually just before the closing reference tag <code><nowiki></ref></nowiki></code>):<br />
*:{{tlx|author missing<!--|{{grey|<nowiki>{{subst:DATE}}</nowiki>}}-->}}<br />
<br />
*In the occasional case of a partial name (e.g. just a family name, or some construction such as "Dr. Falstaff" or "Reagan and Parkes" or "VNEA" without the full information being provided in a "Notes", "References" or "Bibliography" section elsewhere on the page), you can change the displayed text to <sup>&#91;[[Wikipedia:Citing sources|author&nbsp;incomplete]]&#93;</sup> using:<br />
*:{{tlx|author missing|'''partial&#61;yes'''<!--|{{grey|<nowiki>{{subst:DATE}}</nowiki>}}-->}}<br />
*::or<br />
*:{{tlxb|author incomplete<!--|{{grey|<nowiki>{{subst:DATE}}</nowiki>}}-->}}<br />
<br />
==How to fix the problem flagged by this template==<br />
'''Do not remove the template without fixing the problem one of the following ways.'''<br />
<br />
*If you ''know the author(s)'', fill in the needed information, and remove the template. <br />
*;For a template-formatted citation, there are three basic ways to do this&#58;:<br />
*#{{para|last|<var>Familyname</var>}}{{para|first|<var>Given Name(s)</var>}}<br />
*#:or, for multiple authors:<br />
*#{{para|last1|<var>Familyname1</var>}} {{para|first1|<var>Given Name1(s)</var>}} {{para|last2|<var>Familyname2</var>}} {{para|first2|<var>Given Name2(s)</var>}}, etc<br />
*#:or for a committee, working group, etc., instead of individual author names:<br />
*#{{para|author|<var>Organizational author</var>}}<br />
*;For a free-form citation&#58;:<br />
*#Just add the name(s) as appropriate to the format of the citation; or...<br />
*#''Better yet'', convert the entire citation to {{tl|Cite journal}}, {{tl|Cite news}} or some other {{tl|Cite}}-series template, as appropriate for the work in question.<br />
<br />
*If you ''know that no author was specified'' by the original source, as in common in many newswires, explicitly state this with:<br />
*#{{para|author|&lt;!--none--&gt;}}<br />
*#:or for free-form citations:<br />
*#<code>&lt;!--No author specified by source.--&gt;</code><br />
*:Do ''not'' use question marks.<br />
*:Do ''not'' just repeat the publisher, work (publication/site) name, or other field.<br />
*:Do ''not'' leave the information blank and untag it, or someone else will just come along later and flag this with {{tl|author missing}} again! The citation templates know how to properly format a citation to something with no specified author (thus the HTML comment formatting above).<br />
*:Do ''not'' use {{para|author|none}}<br />
*:Do ''not'' use {{para|author|unknown}}, {{para|author|not sure}} or anything else vague; any implication other than that ''the source itself'' did not specify an author is simply a signal to other editors to re-tag it with {{tl|author missing}}.<br />
<br />
*If you ''don't know'':<br />
*:Do ''not'' use question marks.<br />
*#Check the source, and add the necessary information, as above.<br />
*:If the source is a dead link, check archive.org for a backup copy (see your {{tl|Citation}}/{{tl|Cite}}-type template's documentation for use of {{para|archiveurl}} and {{para|archivedate}} parameters). If no archive copy is available, use {{tl|dead link}} after the citation, but leave {{tl|author missing}} as well.<br />
