Ìlà 193:
:Thanks very much Deborahjay, should my understanding of "external link" as other sources /references apart from the ones listed in reference column, then it Yorùbá translation should be "Ìtọ́kasí Àrè", but if my understanding is wrong, please explain what Wikipedia actually mean by "external links " Macdanpets 07:29, 27 Oṣù Kẹta 2020 (UTC)
::There are actually three section headings, described here in order of use:
::* '''References''' with template "Reflist" - this is for citing sources next to a line of text, according to Wiki markup format (that allows linking to a digital source). The citation gets a number next to the text, and the full citation with its number displays in this section heading near the bottom of the page. In the Yoruba WP, we see this as '''Àwọn Ìtọ́kasí Àrè''' or variations. What is most correct as a standard?
::* '''External links''' are sources not appearing in the body of the text as particular references (above). Sometimes they're an Official website, an IMDb entry, a link to online literature, etc. These are entered manually under this section heading, each with an asterisk and in single brackets linking to the digital source. This section heading is sometimes called "Websites" or "Web links" - but this is not inclusive enough. I suggest a literal En:Yo translation of "External links" - is this '''Ijabo lode''' or ??
::* '''Notes''' is a third and infrequently used section heading. It's for explanations that don't fit in the body of the text. These are like footnotes in an academic text. I'd rather not look into this at present, but focus on the above two which can immediately be standardized and used regularly.
:: Feel free to ask me for any further clarifications. I'm grateful for your attention to this process, which will make steady progree as in my proofreading YoWP pages I identify irregularities and ask for clarifications.
