Category:CS1 maint: multiple names: interviewers list

This is a tracking category.

It is used to build and maintain a list or lists of pages—primarily for the sake of the lists themselves and their use in article and category maintenance. It is not part of the encyclopedia's categorization scheme.

More information:

• This category is hidden on its member pages—unless the corresponding user preference (Appearance → Show hidden categories) is set.
• These categories are used to track, build and organize lists of pages needing "attention en masse" (for example, pages using deprecated syntax), or that may need to be edited at someone's earliest convenience.
• These categories also serve to aggregate members of several lists or subcategories into a larger, more efficient list (discriminated by classifications).
• Typically, tracking categories are automatically populated by templates invoked in pages or by the MediaWiki software (see Special:TrackingCategories for an overview of the latter).

This is a tracking category for CS1 citations that use |interviewer=, or its aliases. Articles are listed in this category when Module:Citation/CS1 identifies citations that use singular forms of interviewer name-list parameters to list multiple names. Doing so corrupts the citation's metadata. Pages in this category should only be added by Module:Citation/CS1.

The citation module code looks for multiple comma or semicolon separator characters in the value assigned to |interviewer=, |interviewer-last=, |interviewer-first=, and enumerated equivalents (e.g. |interviewer2=, |interviewer-last2=, |interviewer-first2=, etc.). This test displays an error message for multiple interviewer' names in a single parameter, as well as single interviewer names that include a comma-separated list of post-nominals (|interviewer=FC White, RN, MD, Ph.D) and comma-separated generational and regnal suffixes (|interviewer-first=John F., Jr).

To fix these errors in citations:

1. Remove post-nominals.
2. Remove comma separators that precede generational or regnal suffixes.
3. Provide enumerated interviewer parameters (e.g. either |interviewer2= or |interviewer-last2= and |interviewer-first2=) for each interviewer of a cited work.

Pages with this condition are automatically placed in Lua error in Module:Citation/CS1/Configuration at line 2172: attempt to index field '?' (a nil value)..^[a]
