; {{para|access-date}} does not show.
: If {{para|url}} is not supplied, then {{para|access-date}} does not show; by design.
; The bare URL shows before the title.
: If the {{para|title}} field includes a newline or an invalid character then the link will be malformed; see [[#Web links|Web links]].
; The title appears in red.
: If URL is supplied, then the title cannot be wikilinked.
; The URL is not linked and shows in brackets.
: The URL must include the [[URI scheme]] in order for MediaWiki to recognize it as a link. For example: <code>www.example.org/</code> vs. <code>http://www.example.org/</code>.
; A field is truncated.
: A pipe (<code>|</code>) in the value will truncate it. Use {{tlx|!}} instead.
; The template markup shows.
: Double open brackets &#91;&#91; are used in a field without closing double brackets &#93;&#93;.
; The author shows in brackets with an external link icon.
: The use of an URL in {{para|author-link}} will break the link; this field is for the name of the Wikipedia article about the author, not a website.
; Multiple author or editor names are defined and one or more does not show
: The parameters must be used in sequence, i.e. if {{para|last}} or {{para|last1}} is not defined, then {{para|last2}} will not show. By design.
