{{Main article|Wikipedia:Embedded citations}}


You should not add a descriptive title to an embedded HTML link within an article. Instead, when giving an embedded link as a source within an article, simply enclose the URL in square brackets, like this: <code><nowiki>[http://www.guardian.co.uk/usa/story/0,12271,1650417,00.html]</nowiki></code> → {{xt|[http://www.guardian.co.uk/usa/story/0,12271,1650417,00.html]}}. However, you should add a descriptive title when an external link is offered in the References, Further reading, or External links section. This is done by supplying descriptive text after the URL, separated by a space and enclosing it all in square brackets.
