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 (talk • contribs)

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)

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. Huon (talk) 17:17, 14 April 2014 (UTC)

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

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)

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)

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)

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)

Not remotely “obvious” to me, but see Talk. KJP1 (talk) 06:59, 11 September 2022 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Nardog. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions to Enshittification have been undone because they did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. If you have any questions, you can ask for assistance at the Teahouse or the Help desk. Thanks. Nardog (talk) 15:16, 22 January 2025 (UTC)

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. Regarding your edits to Nguni languages, please use the preview button before you save your edit; this helps you find any errors you have made and prevents clogging up recent changes and the page history, as well as helping prevent edit conflicts. Below the edit box is a Show preview button. Pressing this will show you what the page will look like without actually saving it.

It is strongly recommended that you use this before saving. If you have any questions, contact the help desk for assistance. Thank you. Jessicapierce (talk) 05:07, 16 February 2025 (UTC)

Thanks, yes,I edited in visual editor but there was some problem so had to switch to source editing. it didn’t show up in the edit summary - too small a screen. It did show up post edit, but when I searched for it I couldn’t find it, either a caching problem or i assumed someone had corrected it.

No one is going to revert it are they,, that’s against WP policy? :-) Jabberwoch (talk) 09:23, 16 February 2025 (UTC)

I can't tell if that's a joke. I chose to fix your errors, but any editor might easily have chosen to revert them, because you broke an image and left a mess under "Classification" which damaged page readability. No worries, just giving you a heads up. Jessicapierce (talk) 15:15, 16 February 2025 (UTC)

Dear Jessica,

thank you, sorry. I think I confused a previous revert alert which I’d already seen, but not acknowledged. So, I thought you’d reverted the edit.

Thank you for NOT reverting it, and being constructive. I’ve had too many edits where someone has disagreed or disliked it, and thrown the baby out with the bath water.

Yours Jabberingly😄 Jabberwoch (talk) 02:29, 17 February 2025 (UTC)

Thanks for the clarification - no worries at all! Thanks, Jessicapierce (talk) 03:16, 17 February 2025 (UTC)

You've been here since 2008, please don't add obvious non-expert spam (possibly AI generated) content farm] websites like https://studypress.blog/ , as you did in this edit. The source doesn't even mention 1907, so this was literally just completely unsourced information you added to the article, and I can't find a source for the 1907 claim. If you continue to add low quality garbage content additions like this I will report you to ANI. Hemiauchenia (talk) 20:48, 27 August 2025 (UTC)

According to Across Atlantic Ice: The Origin of America's Clovis Culture p. 2 McJunkin found remains at Blackwater Draw in 1908, not 1907, and he only found bones, not stone tools, so your addition appears to be completely baseless. Hemiauchenia (talk) 21:29, 27 August 2025 (UTC)

:Alright, keep your hair on! They’re good faith edits. I was trying to credit McJunkin , I think he is actually mentioned in the Billings introduction. IIRC the source I looked at pointed out the notification date was in 1908 but the _initial discovery_ was earlier. That was in another reference. I thought it was National Geographic, but I can’t remember. However: I may have confused McJunkin and Whitman.

Good point about fossils not tools. Jabberwoch (talk) 22:52, 19 October 2025 (UTC)

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, such as at Wikipedia:Teahouse, please be sure to sign your posts (but never when editing articles). There are two ways to do this. Either:

1. Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment, or
2. With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button located above the edit window.

This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.

Thank you. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 12:58, 4 October 2025 (UTC)

I am contacting you because you previously voted in elections related to the Universal Code of Conduct Coordinating Committee (U4C). You may be eligible to vote in the current U4C election, which is open now and closes on 2 June 2026. You can find out more about the candidates and the election on the election page on Meta, and from there you can access the vote itself. Your participation in these elections is important to the governance of Wikimedia communities, and your time spent learning about the candidates and voting is appreciated.
