(subscription required)
 | This function is now built into {{citation}} and the Citation Style 1 templates by use of |url-access= and |via=. |
 | This template is used on approximately 33,000 pages and changes may be widely noticed. Test changes in the template's /sandboxor/testcases subpages, or in your own user subpage. Consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them. |
The {{subscription required}} template can be used to flag an external link that requires a paid subscription.
Use the {{subscription required}} template when:
Using {{subscription required}} will place a note by the link.
Append the {{subscription required}} template directly after the link or citation template, leaving the original link intact. If the {{subscription required}} template is not placed directly after the link or citation template, the template will not be correctly detected by automated tools.
If the external link is part of a reference citation, the {{subscription required}} template should be placed directly after the link or citation template but before the </ref> tag. Placing {{subscription required}} directly after the link or citation template but before the </ref> tag will cause the subscription required message to appear in the footnote reference area of the article rather than in the body of the text. Placing the message in the body of the text is not recommended in this situation.

Using this template in its common form will add pages to Category:Pages containing links to subscription-only content (35,610); when the |via= parameter is added, pages will also be placed into Category:Subscription required using via (1,813).
