Help me![edit]

Hi all, I vaguely remember editing sections with references that were defined outside said section and being able to include a line or two of code in the preview to pull in the extra-section references. Does this ring a bell with anyone? Thanks!!!

Dumboldboy (talk) 04:27, 18 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Unless that line of code contained definitions for the named references used in the section, there's no way that could work (as I understand the current software). But it's possible that something like you remember used to work (I haven't been here all that long) or perhaps works with one of the other editors. The always-available workaround, of course, is to simply edit the entire page rather than just a section, if the undefined named references are causing a problem. — jmcgnh(talk) (contribs) 05:01, 18 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
According to Help:Footnotes#Previewing edits, there are some other tools that may be helpful – I've not used them, though. This one, at User:Anomie/ajaxpreview.js definitely claims to be able to render the other named references. I don't see any sign that you employed any of these userscripts in the past, but it might be worth a try. — jmcgnh(talk) (contribs) 05:14, 18 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
