XVII Tranche Project Audit

• @WP:MILHIST coordinators: I feel that this page needs significant expansion. I wish to include details about various citation styles, like using simple ref tags to using variations of {{cite}}, and also Harvard style along with use of {{Sfn}}. Please give your inputs on what else could be included. Regards, Krishna Chaitanya Velaga (talk • mail) 14:38, 29 November 2017 (UTC)

Newer templates like {{sfn}} and {{harv}} are obvious candidates. Parsecboy (talk) 14:58, 29 November 2017 (UTC)

As a constant user of both, I strongly support this. Iazyges Consermonor Opus meum 15:49, 29 November 2017 (UTC)

See Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Military history/Academy/Citations and references#Creating citations and references. I have already alluded to this. In the couple of article I have done major work on, I have used mainly {{sfn}} and {{sfnm}} as well as workarounds for various situations. I was thinking, an annotated example based on one of these, where there are explanations, and markup inline with examples. This module would then support the exemplar. You could leave it with me if you like. Regards Cinderella157 (talk) 21:54, 29 November 2017 (UTC)

@Cinderella157: Cool! I see that you've already done significant work on this. Please go ahead. Regards, Krishna Chaitanya Velaga (talk • mail) 16:15, 3 December 2017 (UTC)

This page must definitely include more information about different citation templates. As of now, it is very simplistic. Biblio (talk) 00:50, 4 December 2017 (UTC)

@Cinderella157: Reminder. Regards, Krishna Chaitanya Velaga (talk • mail) 03:37, 12 June 2018 (UTC)

@Krishna Chaitanya Velaga: I have added a bit about {{sfn}}. See what you think; I actually it should come first since it is so easy to use and we should be encouraging all editors to use it. Cheers, Zawed (talk) 07:33, 27 July 2018 (UTC)

@Cinderella157: Hi, how are you doing? Since we've started this, it'll be great if we can complete it. So just wanted to know if you're still on for this. KCVelaga (talk) 15:08, 19 October 2018 (UTC)
