The help page says “This error is reported when a name-list parameter ... has an assigned value that is composed solely of digits and / or punctuation” but the author e-TF1 does not appear to be in that category. The full citation is {{cite web |author=e-TF1 |url=http://lci.tf1.fr/biographies/mylene-farmer-4883698.html |title=Mylène Farmer – Actualité, vidéos et photos – MYTF1News |publisher=Lci.tf1.fr |access-date=14 March 2014 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140314064858/http://lci.tf1.fr/biographies/mylene-farmer-4883698.html |archive-date=14 March 2014 }}. The author name appears that way in the source code for the cited page so is likely to be intentional. Should I ignore the error, change the way the author is written, or change the way the cite template is used here? Thanks -- Northernhenge ( talk) 22:48, 6 February 2024 (UTC)
|<param>=
has numeric name with a help link to the numeric name
help text. Your example template does not emit such a message. The maintenance message CS1 maint: numeric names: authors list is emitted because e-TF1
includes a digit. The message also includes a link to
Category:CS1 maint: numeric names: authors list where you can find a description of what the message means.{{cite web |url=http://lci.tf1.fr/biographies/mylene-farmer-4883698.html |title=Mylène Farmer |website=MYTF1News |access-date=14 March 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140314064858/http://lci.tf1.fr/biographies/mylene-farmer-4883698.html |archive-date=14 March 2014 |language=fr}}
Right now there are 27,193 pages ( Category:CS1 errors: periodical ignored) that are effected by having "work=" dropped by the "cite book" template. Since this is leaving alot of maintenance work for editors if done manually, I propose that "work=" be reinstated until a backup plan can be put into place. - Knowledgekid87 ( talk) 19:12, 2 March 2024 (UTC)
Apologies if this is a dumb question. I'm looking at a page with dozens of {{cite book templates. If you click edit and then preview you get an error at the top of the page saying one or more cite book templates has errors, and the help topic links to this page. Trouble is that I have absolutely no clue where the error or errors are. How are you supposed to figure out the error location so you can fix things? Just the first error location would be fine, then I could fix that one and go on to the next one... Efbrazil ( talk) 16:53, 3 April 2024 (UTC)

to find maintenance messages.Hi. Very often, the "volume" is more than a number, but the template is coded in a manner that doesn't allow for that and it leads to horrible red "admonishments" in the ref section. Example: a large work which has "volumes" split into several "parts", each bound separately, each with a title of their own, like "Volume V/Part 1: Galilaea and the North". So not a journal with "volume" plus "number", but a book. The template must accomodate for that, not force the editor to cut down the ref or twist their brain for improvised solutions - and in the end to give up the template altogether and write & format everything by themselves by hand. Already the language of this "help" page is so technical that I give up after a few sentences, and I'm quite familiar with science and, I wish to believe, far from functionally illiterate.
Please help, it's been a problem for far too long. I cannot code, but I know the principles and it can't be that much of a big deal. The same goes for all the template rigidities, which work like a Procrustean bed for (or actually against) the editor. Thank you! Arminden ( talk) 15:32, 4 April 2024 (UTC)
|volume=Volume V/Part 1
to |volume=V/Part 1
to remove the error. The error is only to say that you shouldn't start the |volume=
parameter with the word "Volume" or an abbreviation of "Volume". You won't see an error if you use something like |volume=V/Part 1: Galilaea and the North
.

: Empty citation (
help) templates have maintenance messages; messages may be hidden (help).This section doesn't say how to resolve the base or core issue at all. It just say, Oh, install script you don't have power to do into your wikipedia. Can we get how to resolve one of these errors because I don't see where the error is on the page and it doesn't help you to flag where the error is, which is a lot less useful that a lot of the current programs. Screw it, I'm posting it, 'cause there is no apparent error I can find in any of the citations.-- KimYunmi ( talk) 20:10, 9 June 2024 (UTC)
