Use of references

[edit]

Hello! regarding your edit on Hoppipolla, please don't do referencing like this: [1] It's going to get very confusing if someone adds a new ref above those you entered with a number only, because the footnote numbers will change and you will be no longer able to identify which source the number refers to. If you need to use a reference multiple times throughout an article, there is an easy way, you just need to give the reference its own unique ID:

This is my example sentence.<ref name="naver">{{cite web|url=http://news.naver.com/article.htm|title=Article title |publisher=Naver News|accessdate=2020-06-05}}</ref>
This is the second sentence I need to use the reference for.<ref name="naver" />

This way you can ensure the references always refer to the same source, it's neat and tidy, looks professional and stays accurate even if the article gets more references in the future.

Hope this helps. Please let me know if you need further help. Cheers Teemeah 편지 (letter) 09:37, 5 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, I understand. I planned to edit for the referencing part but I just don't have time to make big changes on Wikipedia during the last few weeks. Thanks for your reminder. LIly1114 08:34, 6 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
