Change of citation style

edit

Dear @Primeolives you created this article and added the first inline citation, which reads:

<ref>Jean de Jaurgain and Raymond Ritter, "La maison de Gramont 1040-1967" , Les amis du Musée Pyrénéen, Aturbe (Two volumes)</ref>

Doing so, you determined the article's citation style, which probably is some kind of a non-templated citation. Perhaps you have a better name for it.

I would like to change the citation style to comply with shortened footnotes and list-defined references (as e.g. in Henry Bulkeley or John Hamilton (Jacobite)]. I would like to have shortened citations in the text that automatically link to long descriptions of sources in a list of sources, which is not possible with the present citation style.

According to WP:CITEVAR I must seek WP:consensus. I therefore ask your permission and also that of the major content contributors; hence: dear users Primeolives, LouisPhilippeCharles, ActivelyDisinterested, FeanorStar7, but also anybody else concerned, please allow me to change the citation style.

I have no opinion either way, and wouldn't object to the citation style being standardised. The original author is unlikely to reply, as they were a sock of a user who was community banned in 2016. -- LCU ActivelyDisinterested «@» °∆t° 19:44, 15 December 2023 (UTC)Reply
