[edit]Thank you for your message about bare URL.
Citations are very important in Wikipedia. It is better to put a bare URL than no citation at all. However, I see your point about putting a citation in better form.
Can you show me how to add a citation in the better form? It is very difficult to remember how to key in all the stuff, just like it's hard to create a table from scratch. Let us the following example. What do I do next?
Example: Canada is a country in the Northern Hemisphere.
What do I do next? Usually, I would key in < r e f ..... after the words Northern Hemisphere but that is a bare URL.

- @Vanguard10 Sure! In your editing toolbar, there's a RefToolbar with a dropdown of templates including cite web (see here). Most of the time, you simply provide the URL in the template dialog and autofill the information. It'll generate a
<ref>...</ref>for you. This is the fastest and easiest method in my opinion, although you may need to adjust the information if it's incorrect (like I did here). Limmidy (talk) 18:12, 26 March 2026 (UTC)
You are invited to participate in the Destubathon of the Americas, a contest/editathon which will run from May 1 to May 31. The goal is to destub as many of our 475,000+ stubs for the Americas (from Alaska down to Chile) as possible. A good chance to have fun in expanding many of our old stale stubs and win up to £2000 ($2680) in Amazon vouchers for expanding stub articles. Sign up in the Contestants/participants section on the contest page if interested. Even if not interested in prizes you are still warmly welcome to participate in it as an editathon! Hopefully we can achieve something significant in the month of May together! ♦ Dr. Blofeld 17:12, 15 April 2026 (UTC)
Hello, I noticed you editing Today (Australian TV program) with regards to the Stefanovic affair. However, as someone who's not following this super closely, I still cannot locate a source that says he actually departed, only one that says it's under negotiation in the Karl Stefanovic article, while there's no sources in the today article at all.
What are the sources you've been using? Thanks!

- Hi @LkL-70547, I'm not following the Stefanovic thing closely either. I only fixed up the infobox and updated what other editors already removed. While I would generally revert those, I did do quick searches and most outlets reported that Stefanovic would be leaving the network "immediately", which sounded to me like he's off the program and won't be returning:
- I used BBC News which stated the impending exit was confirmed by the Sydney Morning Herald (which is owned by Nine): https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cjrg5qg70qxo
- The Guardian: https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2026/jun/26/karl-stefanovic-to-leave-nine-immediately-following-today-hosts-podcast-controversy
- ABC News reports that Nine confirmed the departure "effective immediately": https://www.abc.net.au/news/2026-06-26/karl-stefanovic-leaving-channel-nine-9/106835046
- Here's a new source that just popped up from Nine and Today directly addressing the departure: https://www.nine.com.au/australia-news/karl-stefanovic-departs-nine-20260626-p60a8r.html Limmidy (talk) 23:28, 25 June 2026 (UTC)
