Home: Wikipedia:RefToolbar

Useful tips and tricks:

Use Reflist along with the tags to declutter the body text from all the references codes and to make the page text much more readable and accessible {{Reflist|30em|refs= }}. So, all references codes are only stored in the reference list tag Reflist at the end of the page as most reference manager programs do. Then, the body text only contains the tags and is more easy to read. Fortuitously found in Thermokarst on 2020-09-19. :-)

See also: Template:Glossary link internal

The template {{tlx|glossary link}} and its variant {{tlx|glossary link internal}} ({{tlx|gli}} for short) are templates for creating structured links to particular entries in topical glossaries.

{{See also|Template:Diff}}

{{Diff | page title | diff | oldid | labelling text | diffonly=yes}}

{{Diff | page title | prev | oldid | labelling text}}: simplest and most often used form of the Template:Diff

{{See also|Help:Diff#Internal links}}

There is several ways to indicate a difference between revisions for a discussion on a Talk page or to add a comment in an edit summary:

By simply copying the URL of the Diff page in between square brackets [ ] as, e.g.:

[http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=PAGETITLE&oldid=12345678 See here]

Or, better and shorter using wiki codes:

• Wikilink also usable in edit summary:

: text,
without explicitly mentioning the name of the page because the two numbers "oldid" and "diff" are sufficient to identify without ambiguity the Diff in the Wikipedia database. Only the numbers must be indicated without explaining text with "oldid" or "diff" labels

: The parameter /oldid number/ allows to compare a given version of the page with a more ancient one not immediately consecutive (i.e., with at least one page in between them, or more). The /oldid number/ is facultative. When the /oldid number/ is omitted, the /diff parameter is sufficient and returns only the difference with the previous page immediately preceding the modification one wishes to indicate

: The most concise and minimalist Diff to be included in an Edit Summary to refer to a given change is thus:
here

• Template {{Diff}} only usable in Discussion pages, because templates recognisable by their double curved brackets {{...|...}} are not active in the Edit summary
  

: {{Diff|page name|diff|oldid|text}} with the same order of parameters diff|oldid than in the URL (https://...) of the Diff page

: or with:

: {{Subst:URL to diff|url=}} with an automatic substitution of the link parameters:

: {{Subst:URL to diff|url=http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?diff=100000001&oldid=123456789|label=relevant text}}

See Template:Mvar, {{mvar|text}} to render {{mvar|text}} in italic.

Mvar template to display mathematical variables in italic and math format in line in the text. {{mvar|x}} displays as {{mvar|x}}. Better than to use$x$ wich renders as $x$, slightly bolder.

See also Template:Math for inline, non-complex formulas as an alternative to using the $...$ tag pair.

To urgently report obvious, quickly evolving, and persistent massive vandalism or spam on multiple pages and to see if an active vandal has already been identified, use the following page:

Wikipedia:Administrator intervention against vandalism

This page is continuously refreshed by a bot and only displays current on-going obvious and persistent vandalism not yet blocked. Once the vandal has been blocked, the request for blocking disappears from the active living-list. Do not abuse of this page: it is restricted to emergency calls for blocking fast evolving vandalism, not for minor or occasional, non-persistent, vandalism.

Useful in a long discussion on a talk page:

:{{outdent}}

:{{od|::::}}

Use the template hidden:

{{hidden|detail|text to hide or to display alternatively}}

Use the template abbr:

{{abbr|VESA|Video Electronics Standards Association}}

e.g.: {{abbr|VESA|Video Electronics Standards Association}} without wikilink

Use the template abbrlink:

{{abbrlink|VESA|Video Electronics Standards Association}}

e.g.: {{abbrlink|VESA|Video Electronics Standards Association}} to link to the corresponding page

Which is the equivalent to:

Video Electronics Standards Association

It is always more prudent to embed a template in the right part of a wiki link
Page target name
than to incorporate a link inside a template:
{{template|displayed name}}

The template abbr is reserved to abbreviation while the template tooltip is required for more explanations about a longer piece of text and avoids breaking down W3C rules:

So, for more explanations, use the template tooltip:

{{tooltip|IPoTB|Internet Protocol over Thunderbolt Bridge}}

e.g.: {{tooltip|IPoTB|Internet Protocol over Thunderbolt Bridge}}

For the See also sections:

• {{Annotated link|Carbon sequestration}}
• {{subst:AnnotatedListOfLinks|Bracketing the bulleted list of targeted links to be substituted}}

Very useful and simple to use, see the two variants:

Template:Chem

{{chem|2 NaOH + SiO2 -> Na2SiO3 + H2O}}

{{chem|2 NaOH + SiO2 -> Na2SiO3 + H2O}}

Template:Chem2: much simpler and easier to correctly format chemical reactions!

{{chem2|chemical reaction simply typed in plain text}}

{{chem2|2 NaOH + SiO2 -> Na2SiO3 + H2O}}

{{chem2|2 NaOH + SiO2 -> Na2SiO3 + H2O}}

It does the same job than without generating a larger gif picture:

2 NaOH + SiO2 -> Na2SiO3 + H2O

2 NaOH + SiO2 -> Na2SiO3 + H2O

General recommendation: adapt and stick to the current main usage on the visited page

See here:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Linking#Interwiki_links

Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Linking#Interwiki_links

Interwiki_links

Interwiki links can take the form of:

:wiktionary:article which appears as: wiktionary:article

The pipe symbol suppresses the prefix:

: → article

Adding text after the pipe allows different text:

:Any text → Any text

To avoid reader confusion, inline interlanguage, or interwiki, linking within an article's body text is generally discouraged. Exceptions: Wiktionary and Wikisource entries may be linked inline (e.g. to an unusual word or the text of a document being discussed), and {{tl|Interlanguage link}} template may be helpful to show a red link accompanied by an interlanguage link if no article exists in English Wikipedia.

wikimedia:Edit Review Improvements/New filters for edit review

Help:Interlanguage links

Example of the Interlanguage link (ill) template:

{{ill|Nino_Ferrari (engineer)|lt=Nino Ferrari|it|Nino Ferrari (ingegnere)}}

{{ill|Nino_Ferrari (engineer)|lt=Nino Ferrari|it|Nino Ferrari (ingegnere)}}

When the English Wikipedia doesn't have an article, the links to it show up as red links. We don't have an article on Hanning Schröder (it shows up as a red link), but the German Wikipedia does. It is possible to:

1. Write Hanning Schröder to link directly to the German version; the link shows up as "Hanning Schröder"
2. Write Hanning Schröder (de) to give both a redlinked English link and a German blue link: "Hanning Schröder (de)"
3. Use the template {{tl|interlanguage link}} which does the same thing as above, but hides the German link if the English redlink turns blue. By writing {{interlanguage link|Hanning Schröder|de}} we get: "{{ill|Hanning Schröder|de}}".

The first option is not preferred because it hides the fact that the English Wikipedia is missing that article, and because it can be very unexpected for someone who doesn't speak German to suddenly be sent to a German page.

Below are examples of how to use templates to cite books, encyclopedias, journals, theses, papers, websites, comic strips, videos, and editorial comics. See also :Category:Citation templates. If there is a possibility that Harvard referencing will be used in the article in future, consider using the Citation templates (shown second in relation to each source) for additional linking functionality with Template:Harvard citation. This linking from cite to reference does not work with the other templates shown below.

For requiring extra in line citations or reference, use the following templates:

{{More footnotes needed|date=October 2020}} if there is insufficient in line citations

{{More citations needed|date=October 2020}} if there is insufficient references

To give a footnote a unique identifier, use <ref name="name"> ... </ref>. You can then refer to the same footnote again by using a ref tag with the same name like . The name cannot be a number, or the extension will return an error.

Wikipedia:Footnotes#Reference_name_.28naming_a_ref_tag_so_it_can_be_used_more_than_once.29

See: Template:Reflist

For list-defined grouped references, use |refs=.

Within the references list:

{{Reflist|group="groupname"|refs=

content1
content2
}}

These references should be invoked as citation in the body text as usual:

{{Reflist|group="groupname"|refs=

It is very useful to declutter the page code from all the codes of the references and to store all the references together in a reference list at the end of the page: "References" list or "Further reading" list.

To automatically generate a citation by a bot.

This citation is centrally stored and managed on WP and available to all contributors.

{{Cite doi|doi of your source}}

When the bot generates the citation and adds it into the central citation template category, the citation is not directly inserted in the page, but rather transcluded in the page. This allows a central management of the automatically generated reference and avoid to clutter the page with a full reference. The reference remains editable with a small button appearing in the references list.
