Revision as of 06:32, 1 September 2020 by RobLa (talk | contribs) (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)

As of 2020-07-10, we're experimenting with "StructuredDiscusssions" (also known as "Flow"). This is a feature that Wikimedia Foundation is developing for English Wikipedia. See Project:StructuredDiscussions for more. -- unsigned comment by RobLa - unknown timestamp (UTC)

References

Anything that shows up wrapped with "<ref></ref>" 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 <references/> 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 "<references/>" tag. The "Footnotes" section needs the <references/> tag in order to collect the references scattered throughout the comments.
