To get some practice editing you can use a sandbox. You can create your own private sandbox for use any time. Perfect for working on bigger projects. Then for easy access in the future, you can put
{{My sandbox}} on your user page. By the way, seeing as you haven't created a user page yet, simply click here to start it.Hello

Hey!
Levi here. I am having difficulty with my in-text referencing. I am using the same reference multiple times in my writing but I cannot figure out how to make it so it does not show up as a separate number and reference entry everytime I use it. Now I have several exact listings of the same article in my reference list. If you could take a look at it and get back to me please it would be fantastic and much appreciated. I have the writing posted on my user page. Thanks!

- Hi,
- You can use this feature to create a "named reference" and then just reuse that name wherever you want to cite it again. It looks like you already tried this on your page, but sadly it's not a very user-friendly feature - I've fixed your page so you can see how it's supposed to work. Nice work, by the way. bobrayner (talk) 16:39, 13 November 2012 (UTC)
Hi, this is Cyndi. I am working with Natalie on Bruin1234's sandbox. A few of my references are showing up red. Is it possible for me to edit them to fix this or do I completely have to redo them. Tried to figure this out on my own without much luck. Thanks. Teich49 (talk) 07:07, 26 November 2012 (UTC)
- Hi,
- That looks like really good work. However, you've been using the "authorlink" parameter in citation templates. Using this means that the "author" bit of the citation in the references section is turned into a clickable link pointing to another wikipedia article, which is really useful if you're citing a very prominent scientist (or book or team) who already have their own article. However, looking at this edit I think it would be better to use the "title" parameter instead (or just write out the citation manually; as long as other people can read it and understand where you got your info from, then the citation has done its job, and a clickable link would be the icing on the cake.
- This is pretty obscure stuff, so don't worry too much about getting details of citation templates exactly right. The most important job is to show which sources support your content, and you're already doing that just fine. bobrayner (talk) 23:53, 26 November 2012 (UTC)
