Overview

{{See|Help:Cite link labels}}

In-text cite link labels can be customized by using a group name that calls a custom label page. See Wikipedia:Manual of Style (footnotes)/Cite link labels for details.

Issues and resolution

The number of references using the group name exceeds the number of labels.

----

The labels were defined without a space separating each label.

Examples

{{Help:Cite errors/lang}}

{{xt|This example uses the label style "error-test", a style used only for testing. As "error-test" has three labels defined, the fourth use of the same label with content "Reference 4" returns an error message:}}

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.Reference 1 Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat.Reference 2 Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.Reference 3 Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat.Reference 4

Bugs

  • {{phab|24265}}
  • The error message at MediaWiki:Cite error no link label group gets classed as a reference, so you can't use a wikilink in the message to link to a help page
  • The reference list is an ordered list and uses numbers that don't match the in-text cite labels
