Category:Templates not safe for use in citation templates

This is a maintenance category. It is used for maintenance of the Wikipedia project and is not part of the encyclopedia. It contains pages that are not articles, or it groups articles by status rather than subject. Do not include this category in content categories. This is a tracking category. It builds and maintains a list of pages primarily for the sake of the list itself. Pages are added to tracking categories through templates.

The pages listed in this category are templates. This page is part of Wikipedia's administration and not part of the encyclopedia. Further template category notes This category contains pages in the template namespace. It should not be used to categorize articles or pages in other namespaces. To add a template to this category: If the template has a separate documentation page (usually called "Template:template name/doc"), add  [[Category:Templates not safe for use in citation templates]] to the <includeonly> section at the bottom of that page. Otherwise, add  <noinclude>[[Category:Templates not safe for use in citation templates]]</noinclude> to the end of the template code, making sure it starts on the same line as the code's last character.

This category lists templates that are not safe for use in citation templates because:

• Includes markup that will pollute the COinS metadata — added by {{COinS safe|n}} for templates and Category:Templates not safe for use in citation templates for redirects
