Cite errors

edit

This template produces errors in Category:Pages using citations with accessdate and no URL for obvious reasons. However, it would be helpful if these false positives didn't appear in the category which obscure legitimate errors and cause extra work trying to fix things that aren't wrong.

Would you have an example of such an article? Headbomb {talk / contribs / physics / books} 21:38, 8 March 2017 (UTC)Reply
Sorry, I missed a cite journal case in Lambda Hydrae. Looks like it wasn't cite simbad causing the trouble after all. Lithopsian (talk) 22:23, 8 March 2017 (UTC)Reply

Mutiple Simbad references

edit

If I want to have two different references to objects in Simbad in the same article. How can I do this using Cite simbad? Agerskov (talk) 13:44, 11 April 2022 (UTC)Reply

This is just a convenience template to create a citation. You can have as many as you want, probably for different stars, in various references in an article. Just create a reference as normal and place this template inside the reference instead of a citation template or hard-coded text. Or you could add them as external links.
