Harv refs checking tool

my apologies for failing to spot that you were working on the article at that moment. All is fine now.

just fyi, if you install the tool, you will see multiple "errors" for Jaffé and similar names. Reason is a bug in the tool's recognition of diacritics. The referencing itself works fine. 𝕁𝕄𝔽 (talk) 19:00, 28 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Although I'm from England, my Polish background always makes me want to include the diacritics in words. When I was a software engineer and database designer then I would use Unicode as much as possible. It's standard nowadays but Britain and the USA behave as though diacritics are unimportant or optional. They're not. They are different letter of the alphabet. What's the tool you mentioned?

It is described at Category:Harv and Sfn template errors#Displaying error messages: the one I use is User:Trappist the monk/HarvErrors.js.

Another tool that is well worth having is WP:UCB. This one checks conventional 'ref tag' citations too, for inconsistencies and errors. So I try to remember to use it whenever I do a significant edit. [I find the ✓ Citations button to be a bit unreliable but the Expand citation option (that it adds to the "actions available" column) always works.] 𝕁𝕄𝔽 (talk) 13:05, 29 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
