Help me

[edit]

Can anyone give me help using named references on Wikipedia? I can t find a useful help page. Infact

Can anyone give me help using help on Wikipedia?) Many references (eg needs citation template) point to archaic references kept for reference, rather than helpful content. Wd it be possible to do something like (shudder) transclude a template into old pages, so moveing them into a different category so they don t turn up in search by default.? And the most useful tags like needs citation template or the whole "multiple issues " box, are not summarised AFAICS. Where are they? Ta.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Jabberwoch (talkcontribs)

For your first question, see Help:Referencing for beginners#Same reference used more than once. Your second question is a large one, and I will leave the "helpme" to see if anyone else has ideas. There are lists of warning templates at WP:WARN, and maintenance templates at WP:TC. You can find out about a particular template by typing "Template:" followed by its name into the search box, e.g. "Template:Multiple issues". JohnCD (talk) 09:42, 14 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Our help pages indeed are something of a challenge, but usually helpful redirects exist. For example, I'd guess that WP:Maintenance templates will point somewhere, as will WP:Named reference (and I only checked that those redirects indeed exist and point to helpful pages after guessing them). There's also WP:Help, which provides a general overview of help pages, including links to the more specific Help:Contents/Browse and Help:Contents/Directory.

Sorting

[edit]

Fixing the sorting in Physical Address Extension is much easier than what you did. Here is how: [1]

But thanks for noticing the issue. Discovery of the problem is as important as knowing how to fix it. Fleet Command (talk) 09:20, 17 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned non-free image File:Maxim magazine cover 2014.jpg

[edit]
⚠

Thanks for uploading File:Maxim magazine cover 2014.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 12:01, 13 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I’ve reverted your [citation needed] edit. Detail on the Talkpage those areas where this FA needs additional citations. KJP1 (talk) 22:01, 10 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Dear kjp1,

    May i suggest that “_Please _Detail on the Talkpage those areas where this FA needs additional citations.” would be less brusque, and more polite. I thought it was obvious which paragraphs were devoid of reference. Jabberwoch (talk) 22:38, 10 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Not remotely “obvious” to me, but see Talk. KJP1 (talk) 06:59, 11 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
