Talk:Austro-Turkish War (1716–1718)

Reverted addition due to all the citation not being defined
The template sfn just creates a hyperlink to a full cite elsewhere in the article, in this article those citations are in the Sources section. sfn templates on their own are not valid references, you can't just add names and dates without defining what they mean. You can see how this is meant to work by clicking on the "Dupuy and Dupuy (1993)" hyperlink in the References section your browser focus will shift to "Dupuy, R. Ernest; Dupuy, Trevor N. (1993). The Harper Encyclopedia of Military History: From 3500 B.C.to the Present" in the sources section. -- LCU A ctively D isinterested  «@» °∆t° 16:24, 27 January 2024 (UTC)


 * please read WP:BURDEN, if their is an issue with sourcing you are responsible for the content you add. -- LCU A ctively D isinterested  «@» °∆t° 17:52, 27 January 2024 (UTC)
 * All the sources there are on page (sfn). I can't find any source other than (sfn). But the accuracy of those sources was reliable anyway. Elanoraga (talk) 17:56, 27 January 2024 (UTC)
 * The resources in all the war of this battles are (sfn) so I had to do the same. But i removed them. Elanoraga (talk) 18:00, 27 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Sfn are not sources they only create a hyperlink with a name and date, you need to add citation that explain who that name refers to and what they wrote on that date. Without those details they are not valid references. -- LCU A ctively D isinterested  «@» °∆t° 18:19, 27 January 2024 (UTC)
 * The sfn templates that are pre-existing in the article have citations to back them up, as I explained in my original comment. I suggest reading WP:REFB which gives examples of how to setup more standard references. -- LCU A ctively D isinterested  «@» °∆t° 18:20, 27 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Thanks. So I have to undo my edits i guess. Elanoraga (talk) 18:34, 27 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Sorry sfn templates can be misleading, as there's more to them than immediately meets the eye. I suggest reading WP:REFB (it helped me when I started out) and implementing you changes piece by piece rather than in one go. -- LCU A ctively D isinterested  «@» °∆t° 18:37, 27 January 2024 (UTC)
