How to undo a mistake of hitting ref
The page is under the Discography area of Lulu (the singer). I mistakenly hit the <ref></ref> while I was editing the page of Lulu (the singer). I thought the <ref></ref> was where I could explain my edit. Instead there was a Summary section so I put my explanation for the edit into that section.
However, when I saw the published page, it said "Cite error: There are <ref> tags on this page without content in them (see the help page).==TV shows== " but it was not clear to me how I could remove that wording since I did use my reason for the edit within the Summary section. Thus, I did not need to cite. How can I remove that notice? Emjb (talk) 23:27, 22 March 2024 (UTC)
- @Emjb: Go to the place where you see that message; edit the section, and remove the empty
<ref></ref>tags. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 01:14, 23 March 2024 (UTC)
Adding new item to list
I noted there was no reference to the Michigan Center Dam on this list of dams in Michigan. So I added Michigan Center Dam completed in 1911 [1] But after I added the note, I was told I did not have </ref> at the end--but I did. And it does not show up on the page. So I don't know what to do about it. Jmlindner. Sorry. Help me if you can. Jmlindner (talk) 15:23, 20 April 2024 (UTC)
- @Jmlindner: I don't see any problems in your only other edit this year. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 18:23, 20 April 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks. I've reworked both pages. Would you kindly check them out?
- How do you hide a url in a reference? I want to make "Michigan Dam Inventory" a hypertext that includes the url:

- I'll keep this page up. Will your reply appear here? Jmlindner (talk) 22:24, 21 April 2024 (UTC)
