Many editors are editing the map without updating the linked references, instead putting URLs in edit summaries. Per the documentation, links on the map must go to references supporting the control status, either at the city's article, or the list article, Cities and towns during the Russo-Ukrainian War (though, in a fast-moving situation such as the one we have now, the references are best centralized at the list article). These edits are creating extra work for other editors and putting the map's content out of sync with its references. I believe these are good-faith edits by editors who do not know where to add references; an editnotice can call attention to this. I suggest the following. ― Tartan357 ^Talk 02:39, 28 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Extended content

Do not put source URLs in edit summaries. The references at Cities and towns during the Russo-Ukrainian War must be updated before the map is edited.

Rules for editing the map (full documentation)

A reliable source for that specific edit should be provided.
1. A well-known source that has a reputation for neutral (not biased) territorial control coverage, can be used (is deemed reliable) for all edits.
2. A well-known source that does not have a reputation for neutral (not biased) territorial control coverage, can be used (is deemed reliable) only for edits that are unfavorable to the side it prefers (favorable to the side it opposes).
3. A source that is not well-known (or that has proven inaccurate for all edits) cannot be used (is deemed unreliable) for any edit. This includes all maps (see item 2. next).
4. Do not put source URLs in edit summaries. The references at Cities and towns during the Russo-Ukrainian War must be updated before the map is edited.
Copying from maps is strictly prohibited.
Maps from mainstream media are approximate and therefore unreliable for any edit. Maps from amateur sources are below the standards of Wikipedia for any edit. They violate WP:SPS and WP:CIRCULAR.
WP:SPS: "Anyone can create a personal web page or publish their own book, and also claim to be an expert in a certain field. For that reason, self-published media, such as books, patents, newsletters, personal websites, open wikis, personal or group blogs, Internet forum postings, and tweets, are largely not acceptable as sources."
WP:CIRCULAR: "Do not use websites that mirror Wikipedia content or publications that rely on material from Wikipedia as sources."

WP:POV pushing and intentional misinterpretation of sources will not be tolerated.
If you are not sure about what the source is saying (or its reliability), post it on the talk page first so that it would be discussed.

To fix a div-span-flip lint error, move the {{nobold}} template surrounding {{ordered list}} to each line, in other words change:

          |A well-known source that has a reputation for neutral (not biased) territorial control coverage, can be used (is deemed reliable) for all edits.

          |A source that is not well-known (or that has proven inaccurate for all edits) ''cannot'' be used (is deemed unreliable) for ''any'' edit. This includes all maps (see item 2. next).

That will still leave "a.", "b.", "c." and "d." in caps. I don't see a way around it. — Anomalocaris (talk) 08:11, 28 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Done. P.I. Ellsworth - ed. ^put'r there 11:58, 28 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

To editor Anomalocaris: the exact same linter error has been removed from Module:Russo-Ukrainian War detailed map/doc, Talk:Cities and towns during the Russo-Ukrainian War and from this talk page in the exact same way. P.I. Ellsworth - ed. ^put'r there 16:08, 28 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

To Tartan357: please be aware of this linter error situation before any more map rules boxes are edited. Thank you for your consideration! P.I. Ellsworth - ed. ^put'r there 16:26, 28 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
