Cite page numbers

Tryp, would you ping me when you fix it? I'm curious as to how to do that easily; I've always made duplicate cites with different page numbers, before. $ᛗᛁᛟᛚᚾᛁᚱPants Tell me all about it.$ 21:53, 15 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Sure, but I don't think there is any easy way: they all take a bit of tedium. What I did to start is use Template:rp, but that is resulting in the same ref being cited too many times, which looks bad in the references section. I'm going to do some variation of "Ross, p. 15", but I haven't decided yet exactly which way I'll do it. --Tryptofish (talk) 21:58, 15 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I'm probably going to use Template:sfn. --Tryptofish (talk) 22:12, 15 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Now that you mention it, I've seen it before. I'm interested to see it in use by someone familiar with it.

@MjolnirPants: Here's the requested ping. What I did was basically divide the sections into Notes and References, and use Template:sfnp for the inline cites. Sfnp differs from sfn by putting the year in parentheses, which I decided looks better, and the References section uses the cite book type templates with the ref=harv parameter. Click on a note, and it links to the reference. --Tryptofish (talk) 21:19, 16 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for that, sir. I now have a suitable work of reference materials for when I inevitably completely forget about doing this on that article it needing doing on whose name I can't remember now... Ahh, fuckit. It's beer-o-clock, anyways.
