| **Fix is breaking or non-breaking** |Non-breaking|
## Cause
An attribute implementing <xref:Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc.Routing.IRouteTemplateProvider> was applied to a Razor Page handler method.
### Rule description
Razor Page handler methods are selected after routing is completed, and consequently cannot contribute a route. Applying a route attribute such as `HttpGet` or `HttpPost` to a Razor Page handler is not supported.
Remove the route attribute from the handler. Routes can be specified for a Razor Page using an `@page` directive or by using conventions. For more information, see [custom routes in Razor Pages](xref:razor-pages/index#custom-routes).
