'''Instead I have added how I would cite this in brackets next to the citation link in the text. It always includes the name of the page and title. As well as organisation, author and publication where they are provided on the website.''' | '''Instead I have added how I would cite this in brackets next to the citation link in the text.

:I gave it a quick test for your first ref and it worked ok for me. I didn't directly edit in the References section. Rather, in visual editor I clicked the ref [1] near the beginning of the main text of the article itself which made a small box appear with the reference. Then in that box I clicked Edit, added the text for the website name etc. (and cut the existing link itself to clipboard), highlighted the title of the BBC webpage which I had typed in, clicked the link button and pasted the url.

*Some links have very long url parameters which start with #:~:text. This occurs when you copy paste a link from the google "People also ask" suggestions. It highlights certain words on the webpage and will confuse readers, so please trim off the #:~:text part from any urls. | *Some links have very long url parameters which start with #:~:text.

*With academia.edu links, it's a good idea to strip out everything after the 8 digit number in the url (on wikipedia this is done automatically by a bot). The link will then always work even if the author tweaks the title and results in a much less unwieldy url if the title is long. | *With academia.edu links, it's a good idea to strip out everything after the 8 digit number in the url (on wikipedia this is done automatically by a bot).

:Sure, once you have the photo you can upload it temporarily to Imgur or ImgBB and provide a link here. Then I will upload it and add it to the page (you can then move it to anywhere else you wish). [[User:Lightyears|Lightyears]] ([[User talk:Lightyears|talk]]) 18:37, 23 October 2023 (UTC) | |||
*I've replaced the links to Quranx.com with the <nowiki>{{Quran||}}</nowiki> template. When citing verses please always use the <nowiki>{{Quran||}}</nowiki> or <nowiki>{{Quran-range|||}}</nowiki> templates since one day the url structure may change or we might have to use another site (both of which have happened in the past). Thanks to using the template we didn't have to go through every single citation and fix them when that happened. We just changed the website pointed to by the template or the url structure in the template. | *I've replaced the links to Quranx.com with the <nowiki>{{Quran||}}</nowiki> template.

*As mentioned somewhere in the wiki guide, nowadays we do not have a section titled "Conclusion" as we are going for a more encyclopedic format rather than telling the reader what to think overall, so I've edited and retitled that section.
