No more mistakes for me...
Not sure what I'm did wrong here I'm trying to actually be useful. DarklitShadow (talk) 21:39, 31 December 2022 (UTC)
 * This is the link to the actual edit you made: Special:Diff/1130767099. The beginning of the citation,, isn't meant for the name of the source – instead it's a nickname for the citation itself so that, if needed, it can be reused in other places in the article by simply inserting  (notice the backslash slash at the end) rather than having to put the whole citation in again. If you look at my edit Special:Diff/1130877795 you can see that I put the relevant information into the fields of a  template.
 * In fairness to you, this would have been a difficult one to do because it's an extract from an academic journal rather than a simple website, so the nature and amount of information you need is different – but still, four of these citation templates can be accessed easily via the RefToolbar.

 * It's a slash, not a backslash (\). -- Red rose64 &#x1F98C; (talk) 12:54, 1 January 2023 (UTC)
