Category:CS1 maint: unflagged free DOI

This is a tracking category for CS1 citations that use |doi= with an assigned value that is known to be free-to-read but is not flagged as such with |doi-access=free.

Most (although not all) cases in the category can automatically be flagged with |doi-access=free by clicking here to activate User:Citation bot. Exception are pages with {{Academic peer reviewed}} or {{Cite Q}} on them, where the update needs to be done in Wikidata.

cs1|2 maintains a list of DOI registrants (the portion of a doi prefix that follows the 10. directory indicator). When a DOI registrant matches a registrant listed in the cs1|2 list, the module adds this category to the citation.

Pages in this category should only be added by Module:Citation/CS1.

Pages with this condition are automatically placed in Category:CS1 maint: unflagged free DOI.[a]


By default, Citation Style 1 and Citation Style 2 error messages are visible to all readers and maintenance category messages are hidden from all readers.

To display maintenance messages, include the following text in your common CSS page or your specific skin's CSS page (common.css and skin.css respectively):

.mw-parser-output span.cs1-maint {display: inline;} /* display Citation Style 1 maintenance messages */

To display hidden-by-default error messages:

.mw-parser-output span.cs1-hidden-error {display: inline;} /* display hidden Citation Style 1 error messages */

Even with this CSS installed, older pages in Wikipedia's cache may not have been updated to show these error messages even though the page is listed in one of the tracking categories. A null edit will resolve that issue.

To hide normally-displayed error messages:

.mw-parser-output span.cs1-visible-error {display: none;} /* hide Citation Style 1 error messages */

You can personalize the display of these messages (such as changing the color), but you will need to ask someone who knows CSS or at WP:Simple talk if you do not understand how.
