welcome/query re testcite/book code
Welcome Crosbie, nice to have you on board! Thanks also for your pic of IISS. A quick query re the testcitebook template code you set up - this seems to not be working on the Whitney Hart Shepardson and War and Peace Studies profiles?
- There were unfilled fields on the template showing. I was using the template as a placeholder for the reference templates I had used when I originally submitted the material to Wikipedia. I've reverted my edit. It occurs to me it might be useful to copy the citation templates over from Wikipedia, as these make referencing more convenient.
