:Error messages are emitted by the various short-cite templates via [[Module:Footnotes]] and [[Module:Harvc]]. Because of [[#Current limitations and false-positive errors|technical limitations]], the modules can emit [[false positive|false-positive]] error messages along with valid error messages. For this reason, no-target error messages are hidden by default. To show these hidden error messages, include the following text in your [[Special:MyPage/common.css|common.css]] page or your specific [[Special:MyPage/skin.css|skin.css]] page: | :Error messages are emitted by the various short-cite templates via [[Module:Footnotes]] and [[Module:Harvc]].
