- Do a search on Google or your preferred search engine for the subject of the Wikipedia article that you want to create a citation for.
- Find a website that supports the claim you are trying to find a citation for.
- In a new tab/window, go to the citation generator, click on the 'An arbitrary website' bubble, and fill out as many fields as you can about the website you just found.
- Click the 'Get reference wiki text' button.
- Highlight, and then copy (Ctrl+C or Apple+C), the resulting text (it will be something like
<ref> {{cite web | .... }}</ref>
, copy the whole thing). - In the Wikipedia article, after the claim you found a citation for, paste (Ctrl+V or Apple+V) the text you copied.
- If the article does not have a References or Notes section (or the like), add this to the bottom of the page, but above the External Links section and the categories:
==References== {{Reflist}}
Talk pages are confusing
[edit]![]() | This help request has been answered. If you need more help, you can , contact the responding user(s) directly on their user talk page, or consider visiting the Teahouse. |
Why are talk pages so confusing, with no separation of comments or UI? They just seem to be a massive page anyone can edit, while it should have been some forum Skratata69 (talk) 19:28, 22 January 2024 (UTC)
- Talk pages are divided into sections and each section can be individually edited. Talk page conventions say that each successive comment in a section should generally be indented by one more level than the one before it.
- Does this help? Are you looking at the desktop view or the mobile view? — jmcgnh(talk) (contribs) 19:39, 22 January 2024 (UTC)
- Yeah why "generally"? Why does the software not provide a forum like interface, and leave it up to the user to maintain all this? Skratata69 (talk) 19:52, 22 January 2024 (UTC)
- If you have the time, can you please answer the following too:
- How you divided them into sections?
- How you marked the help request as answered?
- Who marked it as a help request? Skratata69 (talk) 19:53, 22 January 2024 (UTC)
- Sorry, trying again. I thought I answered this before but it seems to have been lost (perhaps I never posted it).
- I use the source editor. To create a new section, I type a line like == Section header == and you can use more equal signs for sub- and sub-sub sections. I'm not so good at explaining how to do it with the visual editor, but there certainly is a way.
- Also, from the view in the source editor, you can see that a help request is made by using one of the {{help me}} templates. I marked it as answered by changing it to {{help me-helped}}.
- As for my use of "generally", many editors do not add a layer of indent if they are answering the prior question, adding on to the existing response.
- The Wikipedia software is quite old and slow to change. Often, when a new feature is introduced, a lot of editors complain about the change. There exist sites that copy Wikipedia's content - which they are allowed to do because of Wikipedia's license - and reformat or re-present the content to make it more "modern". Wikiwand is an example. There are places to make suggestions about how the software can be improved. The most recent that I found is m:Community Wishlist Survey 2023. You can also engage in discussions at WP:Village pump (proposals) and similar forums. — jmcgnh(talk) (contribs) 00:24, 26 January 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks Skratata69 (talk) 19:59, 7 April 2024 (UTC)
