Help talk:Cite

This needs to be cleaned up to not be as English-Wikipedia-centric. All mentions of reflist should be removed, for starts. ^demon 19:42, 3 September 2009 (UTC)

Reference problems in the absence of error messages
How can references be made to work if they simply fail to refer, without error messages? Such as these:

http://scientific-method.mediawiki.com.scientific--method.com/index.php/H/T:_Hydrogen-helium_retention_as_terrestrial/neptunian_threshold

 * If I understand this correctly, you did not install the necessary extension: Extension:Cite, as you can check here: http://scientific-method.mediawiki.com.scientific--method.com/index.php/Special:Version. Regards --HirnSpuk (talk) 18:46, 23 January 2017 (UTC)

Translation excluded
Some parts of the document are excluded from translation, that is not really helpful, because there are some parts, that would need translation, too. For example the word content between the ref-Tags should be translated.

There are some Formatproblems as well. For example what's the meaning of the single ref-Tag at the start of the document ? I'm sadly not experienced enough to take care of the stuff myself. Regards --HirnSpuk (talk) 17:51, 23 January 2017 (UTC)

Missing info ?
Hi there,

Wikisource makes use of a &lt;ref follow="xyz"> tag for the Page namespace, where "xyz" is of a named reference in the previous page. This "follow" attribute is not documented here. And are there any others ? --Jerome Charles Potts (talk) 15:36, 29 May 2018 (UTC)

Updating the pages Extension:Cite and Help:Cite
Hello!

The Technical Wishes team from Wikimedia Germany is currently working with the Cite extension to add a new feature to it: A new attribute will make it easier to cite different parts of the same source (please find more info on the project page). We're planning to deploy a first version of the new feature to the beta cluster beginning of December.

For this, we also want to update some of the documentation about the Cite extension. Part of this will include moving the "Usage" and the "Customization" section from the Extension:Cite page to Help:Cite, and possibly moving some information from Help:Cite to Extension:Cite. The reasoning behind this is that the extension page usually focuses on purely technical information, whereas the help page usually contains information about usage and customization.

Please let me know if you have any strong objections to this. -- Best, Johanna Strodt (WMDE) (talk) 14:09, 20 November 2019 (UTC)
