Change title?

- There appears too much repetition on the "duplicated citations" words. Qwertyxp2000 (talk | contribs) 02:25, 5 December 2015 (UTC)
- I boldly reworded. Revert if I suck at it. Oiyarbepsy (talk) 03:25, 5 December 2015 (UTC)
Content or style
[edit]- Discussed at User talk:Oiyarbepsy/2015I#Template:Duplicated citations Oiyarbepsy (talk) 22:44, 6 December 2015 (UTC)
- We've got a consensus that it is a style issue, not a content issue. Used to be constantly battling my mind on this topic from the conflicting ideas in my head. Qwertyxp2000 (talk | contribs) 23:20, 6 December 2015 (UTC)
Removed bolding from "reason" parameter
[edit]I've removed the bold markup from the "reason" parameter because the User:Polygnotus/DuplicateReferences script that calls this template is generating a reason text that spans more than one line, which breaks the bold markup stream and causes missing end tag lint errors. —Bruce1eetalk 13:32, 24 August 2024 (UTC)
- @Bruce1ee: Thank you! Big fan, love your movies. Polygnotus (talk) 13:38, 24 August 2024 (UTC)
- My pleasure. BTW, my user name does not stand for Bruce Lee, see my user page. But no worries, I get this often! —Bruce1eetalk 13:43, 24 August 2024 (UTC)
Placement
[edit]Greetings and felicitations. Placing this template in the "References" section buries it from view, especially for mobile users and editors. Since it effectively applies to the entire article, I believe it should be at the top of the article, as with other "Maintenance, cleanup, and dispute tags", as per MOS:ORDER. —DocWatson42 (talk) 07:01, 27 July 2026 (UTC)
