List of current UFC fighters - WP:Inline Citation and WP:Edit summary

Hi, Greetings to you and thank you for your recent edits on List of current UFC fighters page. I would like to bring your attention to a few things things below: (1) Summary Edit - Please leave a brief summary edit before you saving the edit. See here for more details to cite source from the web - Help:Edit summary. The reason is that (a) Wikipedia content is the collaboration work from many editor, and leaving edit summary is the way to inform other editor what your have done on your edit. (b) The List of current UFC fighters page is a huge file as it has about 6,000 lines (in edit source) and contain information of 600+/- fighters. If you look at the "diff" on the history page - click here for example [1]. As you could see it is very difficult to know which fighter of which division, what why the edit is done and most of all "where the edit was done. For example for your edit you would leave a brief edit summary stating "BW - Jonny Case released from UFC" for some other example might be "HW - Mark Hunt vs Moicic at UFC xxx". (2) Inline citing - please leave the inline citing next to the fighter name for "Recently released" and "Recent signings" Sections and place the inline citation at the end of the fight info if the fighter is scheduled for a fight or have a recent update either injury/surgery/suspension.

Please note that the inline citation should look something like this (example below)

<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://mma-today.com/welcome-to-the-ufc-livia-renata-souza|title=Welcome to the UFC: Livia Renata Souza|date=2017-10-23|work=MMA Today|access-date=2017-12-15|language=en-US}}</ref> .

Before citing, please click the icon "Cite" on top of the page and fill in the information as per information - see click to see how to cite web WP:CITEWEB. And if you stroll all the way down to the page on "Reference Section" (they are more than 300 in the List of current UFC fighters page) and see something like this (example below), then it means the citing is incorrect.

: Template:[http://mmadna.nl/mark-godbeer-krijgt-een-andere-dmitry-tegenover-zich-tijdens-ufc-londen Http://mmadna.nl/mark-godbeer-krijgt-een-andere-dmitry-tegenover-zich-tijdens-ufc-londen] Cite error: Invalid <nowiki><ref> tag; name "ReferenceA" defined multiple times with different content (see the help page). Cite error: Invalid <ref><tag; name "ReferenceA" defined multiple times with different content (see the help page</nowiki> .

Instead of manually input the citation into the page, you could also download automation citing tool , see here [2], and go Wikipedia:RefToolbar page for tool use explanation. This tool would be a great help on speed as all information of the source web site would be just a click away. It also allow you to manually input if you choose to do so.

(3) Fighter moves up/down weight classes - If a fighter is scheduled to fight in a different weight class then that of his current, then put info and cite source on the current weight division table and added "/ Movin to XX weight class'. When the he has fought the scheduled fight, then move his name to the weiht class which he/she has fought.

I have also sent  you a "welcome message" there are many topics would help you on how to use Wikipedia and how to edit.  Also I strongly suggest you pay a visit to WP:Wikipedia Adventure and lastly please register an obtain an account in Wikipedia.  Happy editing.  CASSIOPEIA(talk) 10:02, 7 February 2018 (UTC)
