Please convert all reference to in-line references with the full reference being in-line. Please include page numbers. Constant314 (talk) 22:47, 10 July 2023 (UTC)Reply

Thank you for proofreading the article! (1) I am not aware of {{sfn}} being deprecated. Please advise. (2) Wherever it was possible, the references already include the page numbers. Викидим (talk) 00:14, 11 July 2023 (UTC)Reply

Here are some examples of fully inline citations:

Subsequent references use an abbreviated form:

<ref name="Mohammad"/>{{rp|42}}

<ref name="Gonzalez" />{{rp|5}}

The rp template is used to override pages specified in the full reference.

The full reference does not have to precede to use of the abbreviated form. Constant314 (talk) 01:18, 11 July 2023 (UTC)Reply

Thank you! I will try this system in some new article, although I do not use the VE, and the benefits are thus unclear. Are the {{sfn}} style citations really on the way out? They look so much nicer (and closer to the scientific publications I am familiar with). Викидим (talk) 03:44, 11 July 2023 (UTC)Reply

It does look nice, but that is not the preferred way. The main issues, from my standpoint,

• Other editors will randomly add sources to the source list even if the source is not used. Sometimes it is a source that the editor thinks would be useful. Sometimes someone just wants to bring attention to their favorite source.
• When other editors work on your article, they will likely use the preferred method which will leave you with an ugly mess.
• Wikipedia has an automatic system for vetting sources that is incompatible with your method. When I hover over your sources, the source is highlighted in yellow and I get a tooltip warning that the source may be self-published or predatory. I think seeing this is an option that must be enabled to be visible. It is the Reference Tooltips option under the Preferences/Gadgets menu. See [1]
