On 2016 deaths in American television, I noticed that a notable number of the 198 references are made from a format like, for example:
<ref>[http://www.advocate.com/transgender/2016/9/08/lady-chablis-trans-icon-and-savannahs-grand-empress-dead-59 "Lady Chablis, Trans Icon and Savannah's Grand Empress, Dead at 59"] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191017211312/https://www.advocate.com/transgender/2016/9/08/lady-chablis-trans-icon-and-savannahs-grand-empress-dead-59 |date=2019-10-17 }} from ''The Advocate'' (8 September 2016)</ref>
This is a fine format, except it doesn't use a template. Templates are really good for making stuff easy to edit, and when edited update a bunch of pages at once, and are good for keeping stuff consistent. Is there any tool I can use to quickly convert references in an article into templates, like how the Visual Editor can with only a link or like how Refill can take a bare reference and turn it into a template in a browser?

How can I listen to an article, rather than reading it? Or both, read while listening to it? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 22nefi ( talk • contribs) 12:24, 26 December 2019 (UTC)
Hi,
I'm new to Wiki. Created my first entry and would like to publish it. I have tried to follow Wiki step by step guide to create a page and submit it for review. Tried many suggestions from FAQs on how to submit a page for review but was unsuccessful in making it happen so now asking help desk.
Can you point me to a good step by step resource guide for creating and entry in Wiki and submitting it for review so it can be published
Thanks much

Are wikipedia editors paid for their work? Although I know it's a nonprofit organisation but just for curiosity.🤔🤔( 223.230.172.15 ( talk) 15:24, 26 December 2019 (UTC))
