Usage
Paste this after a bare-URL reference/link:
{{Bare URL inline|date=April 2024}}
It is best to place the tag inside a citation, just before the closing </ref> tag:
<ref>https://www.salon.com/2020/01/31/the-disaster-of-utopian-engineering_partner/ {{bare URL inline|date=April 2024}}</ref>
References
This will still categorize the page for cleanup without cluttering the present paragraph with "", and it will also help track down the citation to improve by keeping the cleanup tag in the citation. It also allows the tag to be removed by tools such as WP:reFill and Citation bot if they fill the reference with a citation template.
When doing it this way, the date must be manually entered; it cannot be done with the {{Bare URL inline|{{subst:DATE}}}} shortcut method, because template substitution does not work inside <ref>...</ref> tags.
