Please provide information on why you reverted my edit. Mangoflies (talk) 20:33, 26 November 2024 (UTC)Reply

@Mangoflies - I'm assuming you're talking about this? To answer your question, I didn't. As I alluded to in my edit summary, I converted the bare URL (as in, there was no reference template used to format the link, and thus it is vulnerable to link rot as a bare url) that you added into a citation within the standard Wikipedia {{cite web}} template. This is a helpful guide to citing on Wikipedia and so is this, this, and this. Please let me know if you have any further questions. Kazamzam (talk) 20:42, 26 November 2024 (UTC)Reply
