dumb question

@User:Rjjiii what is a list-defined reference? Can you provide an example in the wish description? JWheeler-WMF (talk) 15:28, 22 August 2024 (UTC)

Thanks, Pppery. And, JWheeler-WMF, a named reference can be defined inline like any reference, or it can be defined in the references list like this:

<references>
<ref name="Doe-1999">Doe, John (1999). "Chapter". ''Title''. Location: Publisher. ISBN: 0-1234-5678-9.</ref>
</references>

↑That is a list-defined reference. Hope that helps, Rjjiii (talk) 15:58, 22 August 2024 (UTC)
