SFN for citation

edit

I think that changing to {{sfn}} is a good idea as it improves usability of an article by linking between cited short sources and full sources. I think we should use in this article.Clare. (talk) 05:10, 30 April 2016 (UTC)Reply

I disagree -- I think the existing style, which displays author and short title, is more useful for the casual reader, who shouldn't be expected to click every citation link to find a book title. Cheers, Ian Rose (talk) 05:00, 30 April 2016 (UTC)Reply
Interesting point, why do you think a casual reader is more interested in a book title than the year of publication? Clare. (talk) 05:10, 30 April 2016 (UTC)Reply
Mm, when someone asks you what book you're reading, do you normally give them the title, or the year of publication? Cheers, Ian Rose (talk) 15:04, 30 April 2016 (UTC)Reply
