I'd like to make a convention of adding a <references/> tag and a #Footnotes section at the bottom of the talk pages. That's NOT a standard practice at English Wikipedia

:whoops, I forgot to sign my comment on July 10. As a reminder: it's only 4 tildes ("<code><nowiki>~~~~</nowiki></code>) to put both your user id and the date (in [[UTC]]). Like this -> [[User:RobLa|RobLa]] ([[User talk:RobLa|talk]]) 03:47, 15 July 2020 (UTC)
== References ==
Anything that shows up wrapped with "<code><nowiki><ref></ref></nowiki></code>" will show up in one of the following sections:
* The "Footnotes" section at the bottom of the page (if someone was kind enough to add that)
* Wherever the <code><nowiki><references/></nowiki></code> tag is inserted on the page (if someone added that)
* Someplace random, ''probably'' at the bottom of the page.
[[User:RobLa]] would like to make it a convention that we all add a "Footnotes" section to the bottom of the page.
== Footnotes ==
Some talk pages should have a "Footnotes" section (e.g. like this page has a "[[#Footnotes]]" section), especially if any comments use the "<code><nowiki><references/></nowiki></code>" tag. The "Footnotes" section needs the <code><nowiki><references/></nowiki></code> tag in order to collect the references scattered throughout the comments.
