===Wikilink to citation does not work===
If an article is using this template, and nothing happens when you click on the highlighted [[wikilink]] from a Harvard style citation to a full citation at the bottom of the page, there are several possible solutions. If:
# The correct citation does ''not'' appear at the bottom of the article. '''Solution''': Find the source (it may be copied from an article on a similar subject), and check that it verifies the text. If the source can't be found, tag the citation with {{tl2|citation not found}}.
# The correct citation appears at the bottom of the article, and
## The Harvard citation uses a template (such as {{tl2|sfn}} or {{tl2|harv}}):
### The citation uses a template from the list at [[Help:Citation Style 1|Citation Style 1]]:
#### The name is spelled or capitalized differently here than in the citation. '''Solution''': check the source for the correct spelling, and use the same spelling, spacing, and capitalization in both the short and full citations.
#### The year is different here than the citation. '''Solution''': check the source for the correct year, and use the same year in both the short and full citations.
#### The template has a {{para|date}} field and no {{para|year}} field, but the format of the {{para|date}} field is unusual. '''Solution''': Try to fix the date. If the link still does not work, add {{para|year}} to the citation template. (It's okay if it has both.)
#### The citation does not have an author's, or an editor's, last name (authors take precedence over editors). '''Solution''': check that {{para|ref|{{tl|harvid|''args''}}}} is set correctly (see below).
### The citation uses a [[Help:Citation Style Vancouver|Citation Style Vancouver]] template. '''Solution''': check that {{para|harvid}} is set correctly (see below).
### The citation uses a template that does not support {{para|ref}} (See [[Wikipedia:Citation templates and reference anchors]]). '''Solution''': Consider modifying the template to support {{para|ref}}. Alternatively, an anchor can be created using <code><nowiki>{{wikicite|id={{harvid|</nowiki>''args''<nowiki>}}|reference={{</nowiki>''citation''<nowiki>}}}}</nowiki></code>.
### The full citation does not use a template:
#### It has no wikicode to create an anchor. '''Solution''': If {{cite *}} citation templates are used liberally throughout the article, then reformat the full citation with the appropriate {{cite *}} template (and set the {{para|ref}} appropriately, if necessary). Otherwise consult with local editors on the talk page about how to proceed. Either add {{cite *}} templates and {{tl2|harv}} templates, or remove all templates, depending on what local editors prefer. A few articles use {{tl2|wikicite}} to create an anchor as an alternative to standard templates.
#### It uses a {{tag|cite}} span to create an anchor. '''Solution''': remove the cite span (these are deprecated) and proceed following the recommendation immediately above.
#### It uses {{tl2|wikicite}}. '''Solution''': Check that the text in {{para|id|{{tl|harvid|''args''}}}} matches the text in {{tl2|wikicite}}.
## If the Harvard citation uses a handwritten wikilink, such as <code><nowiki>[[#Reference-Smith2006|Smith (2006)]]</nowiki></code>:
### The citation uses a citation template which supports {{para|ref}} (See [[Wikipedia:Citation templates and reference anchors]]). '''Solution''': Check that {{para|ref}} is set to a matching id.
### Otherwise, check that the reference has <code><nowiki>{{wikicite|ref=</nowiki>''id''<nowiki>|reference=</nowiki>''citation''<nowiki>}}</nowiki></code> with a matching id.

Templates that have broken [[wikilink]]s using these templates are added to the category {{cat|All articles with broken links to citations}}.
