March 4

[edit]

Normaal

[edit]

On the page Normaal there is a typo to be found under references #3. The last word is overlAden instead of overlEden. When you go over the link with your cursor, it is written correctly and when you want to edit this, it only shows reflist. And besides that, the link doesn't work... How can I fix this?

Someone else has fixed it already. The Quixotic Potato (talk) 16:15, 4 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I did notice. Thanx anyway. OXYGENE 7-13 (TALKPAGE) 16:16, 4 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I was typing up a response and then walked away, sorry about that. The {reflist} pulls the references from the body of the article. If you need to make any changes, you need to do it directly to the reference, which I did above. Hopefully that helps in the future! uhhlive (talk) 16:35, 4 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
You mean it had to be changed directly at Omroepgelderland.nl? OXYGENE 7-13 (TALKPAGE) 16:49, 4 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
No, it's changed where the reference is used in the article text like in [1]. PrimeHunter (talk) 16:58, 4 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
But how do you get there? If I try to edit the source the only thing I get to see is {{reflist}}. OXYGENE 7-13 (TALKPAGE) 17:02, 4 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
You don't want to edit the reference list. You want to edit the reference in the body of the article. A linked internet reference generally has two parts. The first is the URL that the reference points to, in this case "Omroepgelderland.nl..." and then anything typed after that is what shows up in the reflist, which in this case was incorrectly spelled. You probably shouldn't edit the URL since then it might go somewhere totally wrong but you can edit the part that I did to correct the spelling mistake. An editor can make it say whatever they want, it could say "CLICK HERE FOR A GOOD TIME" but that wouldn't be very encyclopedic. You can read more HERE uhhlive (talk) 17:13, 4 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
(edit conflict) Click ^ at the reference to see it is used in the "History" section. That's where the reference text is stored in the source so that's the section to edit. See more at Help:Referencing for beginners. PrimeHunter (talk) 17:16, 4 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Found it, got it. Thanx! OXYGENE 7-13 (TALKPAGE) 17:31, 4 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Which series? ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots15:57, 4 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
As the questioner geolocates to Quebec, we can assume that they are asking about programming on Space (TV channel). -- ToE 16:21, 4 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I wrote to the programming department listed on their contact page to ask if they were running any of the Star Trek series, and they quickly responded:
Unfortunately the license for STAR TREK is not available to Space for now. The good news is that the entire franchise is still available to everyone on CraveTV .
So no Star Trek there now, but I see that they are running The Expanse, which I've heard good things about: The Expanse. It is Just. That. Good.. (I've not yet checked it out myself.) -- ToE 20:22, 4 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I'm guessing it expired on February 29, since their Twitter feed is full of people complaining about it that day (and everyday since then). They reply with the message ToE posted whenever someone complains. But this has happened before, and one or more of the series always comes back eventually.
