References etc
Hallo, after seeing the ridiculous nomination of Hanna T. Rose for deletion, I had a look at your work on Angelo Accardi. I see that you have now found a way to combine re-used references, which is great, but it produces references names like "auto" and "auto1". WP:REFNAME says that reference names should "should have semantic value, so that they can be more easily distinguished from each other by human editors who are looking at the wikitext". Does the system you used allow you to choose a more helpful name for each ref? If so, please do so.

I added the "access-date" to your refs: it's useful to know when a source was consulted, because even newspaper articles etc are sometimes updated, and if a web link becomes unavailable it's useful to know what date to check on the Internet Archive or similar. It's also helpful to the reader to add a translated title and to specify the language, when citing a non-English source - I got translations from Google Translate, but if your Italian is better than mine please improve them if necessary!

Cite news is available to use when citing a newspaper or similar, with the newspaper title in the "work=" field: it formats the output slightly more elegantly.

I created a set of redirects for Hanna, from variations of T./Toby/nothing and Hanna/Hannah (the misspelling is so likely), and they found her listed in various lists of "articles to create" (see Her incoming links). I added her as a hatnote at Hannah Rose, and added her to the Rose (surname) page. All useful ways to make sure the article gets seen as much as it should. (And to avoid some enthusiastic but careless editor creating a duplicate at another version of her name).

There is a lot to learn about editing Wikipedia but it's an interesting journey. Welcome, and Happy Editing! Pam D  10:12, 12 December 2023 (UTC)


 * And I've just learned something new: I use a tool called "RefRenamer" which can upgrade the reference name produced by Visual Editor, which are ":0", ":1" etc. I didn't know, until I tried just now, that it will also pick up names like "auto", "auto1" etc. So I've upgraded the names of your references to give them "semantic value". Today's learning experience for me. Pam  D  10:17, 12 December 2023 (UTC)
 * I noticed that you linked to the dab page Minions, and fixed it to be Minions (film) which I guess you meant. Here's a standard message I often offer people:
 * There is an easy way to avoid linking to disambiguation pages: if you go to "Preferences", "Gadgets", and look under "Appearance" you'll see "Display links to disambiguation pages in orange" towards the bottom of the section. Select that tickbox, and whenever you Preview a page you'll be able to see whether you've accidentally linked to a disambiguation page.
 * I find it very useful. Thanks. Pam  D  10:21, 12 December 2023 (UTC)
