Refname rules

Latest comment: 10 years ago3 comments2 people in discussion

Hi. I'm here with a question about a sentence that you added to {{Refname rules}}:

  • If a name is quoted when defined, it must also be quoted for additional invocations (i.e. name="something" is not the same as name=something).

On first glance, this doesn't seem to be true. Gadget850 says that Sanitizer.php automatically adds quotes, so they should be the same, which matches my experience editing, namely that it doesn't matter if the definition or later invocations have optional quotes or not. But before changing anything, I was wondering if there is some rationale that we don't know about, in which case it should stay. Thanks. – Margin1522 (talk) 06:07, 26 November 2014 (UTC)

@Margin1522: Here is an unquoted example[1] and a use without quotes[1] and a use with quotes[1].

Here is a quoted example[2] and a use without quotes[2] and a use with quotes[2].

And an attempt to redefine "quoted" as quoted, which silently uses the existing definition of "quoted" instead.[2]

Looks like it works. I'm sure that it did not at some point, but this must have been fixed, so feel free to correct it. Thanks. —[AlanM1(talk)]— 20:59, 28 November 2014 (UTC)

  1. ^ a b c Definition without quotes
  2. ^ a b c d Definition with quotes Cite error: The named reference "quoted" was defined multiple times with different content (see the help page).
OK, thanks. I think you're probably right, that at one point this was true. But since it apparently works now we'll just go ahead and change it and keep an eye on it. – Margin1522 (talk) 01:34, 29 November 2014 (UTC)

I apologize for mistakenly deleting your vote in the Infobox religion discussion. I was caught in an edit conflict, and I somehow erased your contribution. I did not mean to. Sorry. Plazak (talk) 14:26, 6 December 2014 (UTC)

Join library staff, the Redondo Beach Historical Society, and others to help improve Wikipedia's coverage of Redondo Beach!

Third, we have an Unforgetting LA event put on by East of Borneo in collaboration with the Getty Research Institute. Come help improve Wikipedia's coverage of LA design and architecture, and have an awesome free day at the museum -- parking will be validated for edit-a-thon participants! If you'd like to use particular books from GRI's great collection, be sure to email before 2/13 (instructions at event page).

An editor has asked for a discussion to address the redirect Wikipedia:Hitler to the page Wikipedia:Most people who disagree with you on content are not vandals. Since you had some involvement with the Wikipedia:Hitler redirect, you might want to participate in the redirect discussion if you have not already done so.

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
