Citation usage

Abra Saghast Having Difficults with citations. I have two different citations for Living Greyhawk Gazetteer page 125, but I cant get it as one. Everytime I fix one citation, the other screws up. PlagueBearer (talk) 02:24, 24 November 2024 (EST)

Honestly, PlagueBearer, I can't entirely tell which ones were malfunctioning for you, but, I just went ahead and tried to change the ones I saw.

Generally speaking, hand-scripted <ref>s work just fine, and are sometimes superior, even. But, for citations which are in the database, and for sourcebooks by the IP holder/Publisher, it's generally easier and better to use the Cite sourcebook Template, or ones based on it.

• Cite sourcebook
• cite dragon
• cite dungeon
• cite polyhedron
• cite lgj

99.9% of all sourcebooks are in the {{csb}}, and all you have to do is put in the book's name and page number. And it ensures that they're always the same and, if we ever change the way citations are displayed or formatted, that every citation on the wiki will change at the same time. Hand-scripted <ref>s can't do that. {{csb|LGG|#}} is generally going to be better used in these cases, I think. — Abra Saghast (talk) 11:21, 24 November 2024 (EST)

Agra Saghast It was the second text block, ""As the nation developed..." that was also to be cited with Living Greyhawk Gazetteer (2000), p.125. Everytime I did it, it gave it its one citation block and because it was in the text block, I couldn't use the "re-use" option.

Oh! Are you talking about the <ref>s not stacking? Are you wanting them to stack, or not stack? I guess I may have misunderstood about what was screwing up, because I can't see it in between save edits. You should always be able to put <ref name= > to "reuse" a citation, even if it's given in a {{quoted text}}. But, if you're wanting citations to stack, hand-scripted <ref>s that don't use <ref name= > don't stack, even if they're identical.
