Rollback needed on Citation
Dear Administrator, it appears the rollback function is required on the page Citation to the version of "Revision as of 13:09, 18 June 2010" by Rich Farmbrough due to vandalism. Gzuufy (talk) 17:27, 24 June 2010 (UTC)
 * ✅, but for future reference this doesn't require an administrator (as I am not). Ks0stm  If you reply here, please leave me a  message on my talk page. 17:38, 24 June 2010 (UTC)

ref name=
I am currently on dialup so I will keep this short. If I recall correctly ref name= is for the purpose of assigning a short name to a reference so the reference can be used a number of times throughout the text. Regards, Darrell_Greenwood (talk) 02:48, 28 June 2010 (UTC)

 * Thank you Darrell. I've lightly skimmed that page, but there are some possible contradictions I haven't yet wrapped my mind around. Let me see if I understand your message correctly. Just the &lt;ref name="unique identifier" /&gt; can be used for multiple citations to the same page number, thus reducing visible code on the editing page. If that's what you're saying, that's a great idea, and I will implement it if I can get it to work.  I particularly like the way SilkTork does citations over on Brewing, as they go directly to the book page, allowing one to read the cited text with just a couple of clicks.

 * Correct. There was a typo with the Gänzle citation which I've fixed. Darrell_Greenwood (talk) 00:40, 29 June 2010 (UTC)

Pending changes/Straw poll on interim usage
Hi. As you recently commented in the straw poll regarding the ongoing usage and trial of Pending changes, this is to notify you that there is an interim straw poll with regard to keeping the tool switched on or switching it off while improvements are worked on and due for release on November 9, 2010. This new poll is only in regard to this issue and sets no precedent for any future usage. Your input on this issue is greatly appreciated. Off2riorob (talk) 23:35, 20 September 2010 (UTC)


 * I guess I don't understand the purpose of a "poll" if the tool is "due for release" regardless of poll results. Gzuufy (talk) 18:02, 24 September 2010 (UTC)
