The {{para|access-date}} is the date that the online resource addressed by {{para|url}} was added to the article. If {{para|access-date}} has been included in the citation without {{para|url}} then this message appears. If the citation does not use a web link, then {{para|access-date}} is redundant and should be removed.

When the online resource has a publication or other fixed date associated with it, {{para|access-date}} is of limited value though may be useful in identifying an appropriate archived version of the resource. Without {{para|url}}, {{para|access-date}} is not considered useful.

To resolve this error, provide a value for {{para|url}} or remove {{para|access-date}}. Editors should try to determine why the citation has {{para|access-date}} without {{para|url}}. For example, the citation may never have had a {{para|url}}, or {{para|url}} may have been removed because it links to a site that violates the creator's copyright (see [[WP:COPYLINK]]), or because {{para|url}} was deemed to be dead. If the citation never had {{para|url}} or it was removed for copyright violations, remove {{para|access-date}}. When a dead {{para|url}} has been removed, restore the {{para|url}} and if possible repair it (see [[WP:LINKROT]]).
