== URLs with no description ==
=== Cite web ===
Adds [[:Category:Pages with citations having bare URLs]] and presents a visible error message

This matches the pre-Lua behavior of {{tl|cite web}}.

! <nowiki>{{cite web | author = Bob | access-date = 25 May 2010 | url = http://www.foo.com }}</nowiki>
|-
| {{cite web/new | author = Bob | access-date = 25 May 2010 | url = http://www.foo.com | no-tracking=true  }}
|}

=== Other citations ===
Adds [[:Category:Pages with citations having bare URLs]], and includes a hidden comment in the HTML saying "<code>Bare URL here</code>".  No visible error message.

This preserves historical behavior during the Lua migration.  This might be upgraded to a visible error in the future.
