Hchc2009 recently reverted an edit that implemented {{
harvnb}}
templates with this comment:
Undoing change to harvnb format citation system; as per WP:CITE, " If an article already has citations, adopt the method in use or seek consensus on the talk page before changing it."
I made the change that Editor Hchc2009 reverted because I noticed that three of the four citations in §
Bibliography included the |ref=harv
parameter.
Those three citations in §Bibliography were added by Editor Hchc2009 and each included the |ref=harv
parameter. As the parameter serves no purpose except to create the CITEREF anchor required by {{harvnb}}
and similar templates, it seemed that Editor Hchc2009 intended to use {{harvnb}}
or perhaps {{
sfn}}
; else, |ref=
would have been left blank or merely omitted as were other unneeded parameters.
The {{harvnb}}
and {{tlx|sfn}}
templates are short-form reference / citation mechanisms as was the ref / cite structure that this article already used. This is not a whole new restructuring of the "system"; merely a completion of something already started. For these reasons, I have reverted Editor Hchc2009's reversion.

{{
harvnb}}
or {{
sfn}}
is most definitely not a change in style. A change in style would be going from harvard citations to footnotes, or from long footnotes to short footnotes. At best it would be a change in method and there is nothing in the guidelines about changing from one template to another. --

17:07, 13 July 2012 (UTC)Hchc2009 has only made one edit to this article other than two reverts and changed the style off using templated refs to using plain text ref (to biblio templates). That's the problematic change. Br'er Rabbit ( talk) 19:43, 10 July 2012 (UTC)
Some editors would like to change the
shortened footnotes in this article so that they use the template {{
sfn}}
. (Please see the documentation at the template to see what this would be like.) If anyone objects, the article will stay as it is. What style should this article use? Why or why not? Please comment. ----
