StructuredDiscussions
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.
All of the talk pages
These can be found at "Talk:" namespace.
One can put a list of all of the pages in the Talk:
namespace onto a wiki page by adding the following wikitext:
{{Special:PrefixIndex/Talk:}}
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.
