Wikipedia talk:Nesting footnotes

sentence is not displaying 'correctly'

Original:[1]

• The footnotes are displayed in an ordered list wherever the reference list markup (e.g. {{tl|reflist}}, {{tl|reflist|group=...}} or {{tl|notelist}}) is placed.

Current wiki-markup:

• The footnotes are displayed in an ordered list wherever the reference list markup (e.g. {{tlx|reflist}}, {{tlx|reflist|group=...}} or {{tlx|notelist}}) is placed.

Current visible-rendering:

• The footnotes are displayed in an ordered list wherever the reference list markup (e.g. {{reflist}}, {{reflist}} or {{notelist}}) is placed. ((emphasis added))

The problem is that the |group= stuff isn't made visible when using {{tlx}}, which means the boldfaced bit looks nonsensically-repetitive. Not sure what the best fix for that is, so I'm complaining on the talkpage rather than being WP:BOLD myself. p.s. Original markup had the same problem, so switching back to {{tl}} won't make the |group= portion visibly-rendered, either. 75.108.94.227 (talk) 11:36, 6 September 2015 (UTC)

Thanks for pointing this out. I've fixed this by changing from {{tlx}} to {{tlp}}, although the =... has had to go. No doubt there are many other possible ways out: Noyster (talk), 12:24, 6 September 2015 (UTC)

All you needed to do was add a 2= before the group=... --Redrose64 (talk) 20:40, 6 September 2015 (UTC)

{{r}} is broken

The Reference within note section describes this use of {{r}}:

Wikipedia:Nesting footnotes#Using {{r}}

That appears to currently not work correctly, because most of the links are not correctly generated, and appear thus:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Nesting_footnotes#cite_note-

Note the #cite_note- anchor at the end. It should be #cite_note-1, -2, -3, etc., but it's not. It's a deceptive bug, because it looks right at first glance. The error only becomes apparent upon hovering over or clicking the links.

Since even the example at Wikipedia:Nesting footnotes#Using {{r}} exhibits the bug, I suspect this worked at some stage, but probably someone changed something, and thus subtly broke {{r}}. Or maybe this never really worked, and even the person who posted the example didn't notice that bug, I don't know.

If this should be reported somewhere else, please don't just tell me and wait for me to possibly never respond, but do it. Thank you. —ReadOnlyAccount (talk) 04:05, 9 January 2024 (UTC)

ReadOnlyAccount, true enough, and this is the right place to report it; good catch. Matthiaspaul, this appears to have been your edit of 14:16, 13 September 2021; can you have a look? Mathglot (talk) 07:40, 9 January 2024 (UTC)

Thanks – you don't know how crazy that drove me over at Backspace, and in my sandbox. –ReadOnlyAccount (talk) 08:09, 9 January 2024 (UTC)
