Usage edit
This template provides links to commonly-used automated tools, similar to {{Find sources}}. Simply place {{automated tools}} to generate:
- Easy tools: Citation bot (help) | Advanced: Fix bare URLs
This will provide links for the page the template is on. E.g. if placed on User:Example/Sandbox, clicking "Citation bot" will make citation bot run on "User:Example/Sandbox".
