::BOTTOM LINE When using List-Defined references in ''article'' or ''wikipedia'' space, when publishing changes an unused ref produces an error message. In ''talk'' pages and my ''user sandbox'' it does not. Instead unused references simply are not visible in the rendered notes. But in those spaces when editing and looking at changes in PREVIEW mode, unused references ''are'' visible in the list of notes. Since notes are numbered in order of first occurrence, they appear at the bottom of the list and the carom symbol is not hyperlinked. | |||
''Earlier work as a experimented..................'' | |||
''Originally posted at BLPN, then I learned about a very similar discussion at the FRINGE noticeboard. Parking here while I mull things over.'' | |||
-- Is RefList broken with respect to list-defined references -- | |||
I am struggling to reconcile some ANI closing instructions with our BLP policy. This will be the first I've raised my confusion to the closing admin, but I thought I'd raise the question here for others interested in BLP issues. | |||
I think the code for reflist might be broken. | |||
Back in Jan 2014 {{Admin|TParis}} concluded an ANI with the | |||
::"''Use what the sources say. If the majority of sources call a subject a "skeptic" then they are a skeptic. If the sources calls them a "climate change denier" then call them that. We use what the majority of sources use. Single partisan sources that are used in opposition to the majority of sources will be considered POV pushing and sanctioned under WP:ARBCC. Mass changes of any material without discussion is disruptive.--v/r''" | |||
At ] it says | |||
I was not involved in that action. However, these closing instruction were in context of discussion at ], where I am involved. | |||
::{{tq|All references in reference list must be referenced in the content, otherwise an error message will be shown.}} | |||
Similarly, at the detailed sub-page in section ] it says (bold in original) it says | |||
The article subject, Anthony Watts, is a <ins>public figure</ins>, who runs what he calls the world's most-viewed blog on climate change (]). Like most public figures, there is a range of commentary in the sources. From my own research, it appears that only a handful of sources have been discussed so far. Before I spend a lot more time looking into it, I'm hoping to get some guidance as to how the results could be used. | |||
::{{tq|Additionally, '''any unused references will generate an error'''. All list-defined references must be used in the body...}} | |||
This error-reporting for unused references is no longer working. If it is fixed, it would be nice if the error message asked people to move unused citations to article talk so it can be easily used again. | |||
The closing instructions from TParis appear to close the door on minority voices found in otherwise respectable RSs. As I read BLP policy, that isn't quite how we handle public figures. The key section seems to be | |||
::"''Public figures'' | |||
::"''In the case of public figures, there will be a multitude of reliable published sources, and BLPs should simply document what these sources say. If an allegation or incident is noteworthy, relevant, and well documented, it belongs in the article – even if it is negative and the subject dislikes all mention of it. If you cannot find multiple reliable third-party sources documenting the allegation or incident, leave it out.'' | |||
::*"''Example: "John Doe had a messy divorce from Jane Doe." Is this important to the article, and was it published by third-party reliable sources? If not, leave it out, or stick to the facts: "John Doe and Jane Doe were divorced." | |||
::*"''Example: A politician is alleged to have had an affair. He or she denies it, but multiple major newspapers publish the allegations, and there is a public scandal. The allegation belongs in the biography, citing those sources. However, it should only state that the politician was alleged to have had the affair, not that he or she actually did. If the subject has denied such allegations, that should also be reported.''" | |||
'''You can stop here'''.... That's all I really needed to say. But in case that succinct summary isn't clear, here are some detailed examples I fumbled around with while studying the concept of list-defined references. These examples demonstrate what I am talking about. The full citation used in the following examples are simply | |||
As I read the policy, the ANI's closing instructions seem to shut the door on RSs holding a minority view of the public figure. In the present instance, the policy seems to require reporting when ''most'' quality sources say Jane Doe is a "climate skeptic" while adding that ''some'' quality sources allege Jane Doe is a "climate ''denier''". TParis' closing instructions appear to say that doing so will incur the wrath of AE under ]. | |||
* ''Ugly, Ugly Ugly'' | |||
* ''Even Uglier,Even Uglier,Even Uglier,Even Uglier,Even Uglier'' | |||
* ''Voila!'' | |||
Being ugly, the first two references are fully cited within the reflist template, but the simple cite for ''Voila!'' is allowed to remain in the text. So here we go.... | |||

In example 2, | |||
* Contrary to the help documentation, the unused reference does ''not'' produce an error when publishing | |||
* As expected, the unused reference does ''not'' appear on the published version of the article but | |||
* Weird and undocumented behavior.... the unused references '''does appear''' in preview mode. Since the references are numbered in order of first use, the unused reference (formerly reference 2) is bubbled down to the bottom of the list and its little carom symbol is not hyperlinked. I only happened to discover this by accident. It would be nice if the error feature were repaired, coded to be educational, and supplemented with a message asking for unused references to maybe be moved to article talk for easy future use. | |||

Misplaced Pages treats polls such as these as a way of organizing discussion of the principles and the strength of the reasons underlying editors' viewpoints. It is not a majority rule voting process. As it says in WP:Consensus "...consensus is determined by the quality of arguments (not by a simple counted majority), polls should be regarded as structured discussions rather than voting. Responses indicating individual explanations of positions using Misplaced Pages policies and guidelines are given the highest weight."

Instead unused references simply are not visible in the rendered notes. But in those spaces when editing and looking at changes in PREVIEW mode, unused references are visible in the list of notes. Since notes are numbered in order of first occurrence, they appear at the bottom of the list and the carom symbol is not hyperlinked.
Earlier work as a experimented..................
-- Is RefList broken with respect to list-defined references --
I think the code for reflist might be broken.
At Help:Footnotes#List-defined_references it says
All references in reference list must be referenced in the content, otherwise an error message will be shown.
Similarly, at the detailed sub-page in section Help:List-defined_references#Guidelines it says (bold in original) it says
Additionally, any unused references will generate an error. All list-defined references must be used in the body...
This error-reporting for unused references is no longer working. If it is fixed, it would be nice if the error message asked people to move unused citations to article talk so it can be easily used again.
You can stop here.... That's all I really needed to say. But in case that succinct summary isn't clear, here are some detailed examples I fumbled around with while studying the concept of list-defined references. These examples demonstrate what I am talking about. The full citation used in the following examples are simply
- Ugly, Ugly Ugly
- Even Uglier,Even Uglier,Even Uglier,Even Uglier,Even Uglier
- Voila!
Being ugly, the first two references are fully cited within the reflist template, but the simple cite for Voila! is allowed to remain in the text. So here we go....
Example 1 - All references used | |
---|---|
Wikicode | This reference is really ugly<ref name=a/> but not as ugly as this one,<ref name=b/> especially compared to this simple one.<ref>Voila!</ref> '''-- Refences for Example 1 --''' |
Renders as | This reference is really ugly but not as ugly as this one, especially compared to this simple one.
-- Refences for Example 1 -- References
|
Example 2 - Even Uglier is not cited | |
---|---|
Wikicode | This reference is really ugly,<ref name=a/> especially compared to this simple one.<ref>Voila!</ref> '''-- Refences for Example 2 --''' |
Renders as | This reference is really ugly, especially compared to this simple one.
-- Refences for Example 2 -- References
|
In example 2,
- Contrary to the help documentation, the unused reference does not produce an error when publishing
- As expected, the unused reference does not appear on the published version of the article but
- Weird and undocumented behavior.... the unused references does appear in preview mode. Since the references are numbered in order of first use, the unused reference (formerly reference 2) is bubbled down to the bottom of the list and its little carom symbol is not hyperlinked. I only happened to discover this by accident. It would be nice if the error feature were repaired, coded to be educational, and supplemented with a message asking for unused references to maybe be moved to article talk for easy future use.

I finally figured out (in 2013 publisher) to just select the image(s) and use "save as picture" instead of saving the whole thing (file-Export-changefiletype).

Sandbox misc
Once consensus on selection criteria is achieved, it should be documented in two places. First, it should be clearly described in the list's introductory material. Second, it should be added to the list article's talk page, using Template:List criteria, including a link to document where the consensus was established. If list criteria include acceptable self-references to Misplaced Pages (see "common selection criteria" below), it should be formatted in the article using Template:Self-reference link.
In contrast, list articles lacking sufficient statements of list criteria should be tagged with Template:List missing criteria.
