== This page needs to be updated! == |

Hello, I am here to ask anyone who has been continuously updating this page to update the South Asian information provided because there is a lot of inaccurate information about the main countries. Afghanistan needs to be taken off due to the fact studies in recent and historic times have told us the Afghanistan does not belong here. Afghans have always considered themselves Middle Easterners and from Central Asia and rightfully so. So whoever that is touching base with this page please do edit the information and correct it. I am a Ph.D. professor myself from Standford in History and with rigorous research have come to the obvious answer which is all around the world but Wikepidia. <!-- Template:Unsigned --><small class="autosigned">— Preceding ] comment added by ] (] • ]) 10:07, 1 August 2017 (UTC)</small> <!--Autosigned by SineBot--> |

:{{ping|TheIntellectualMind}} This page is for discussing the contents of ]. If your post is about an article then you can discuss it on the talk page of the article, e.g. ]. See ]. I noticed that in you removed Afghanistan from a list of South Asian countries but the list had an inline reference to many sources which include Afghanistan in South Asia, e.g. {{cite web|title=CIA "The World Factbook"|url=https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/wfbExt/region_sas.html}}. The purpose of inline references is to give sources which support the given content. There may be other sources which exclude Afghnaistan but if an article statement contradicts its own inline references then the article is effectively lying about what those sources say. Articles should never do that. ] (]) 11:29, 1 August 2017 (UTC) |

:::Although, ironically, the tutorial pages themselves do need to be updated. What do people think about replacing some or all of it with the newer ] series? It more logically splits VisualEditor and Markup. The current tutorial contents here prioritise explaining details of markup that beginners will rarely use (e.g. manually formatting references from scratch rather than using the "cite" button). I suspect these tutorials make it harder on newcomers than necessary. ]<sup>]</sup> 04:38, 28 November 2017 (UTC) |

==Urgent need to update all Tutorial pages ("Save changes" is now "Publish changes")== |
|
|
The wiki-wide change ] on 11 December 2017, which saw the renaming of the blue "Save changes" button to "Publish changes" in both source and visual editors, means that many text pages and some graphics in many of our Help and Tutorial pages are now out of date. I hope anyone who maintains these instructions will update these guidance pages as soon as possible. Regards from the UK, ] (]) 12:30, 17 December 2017 (UTC) |

Hi, forgive me if I'm doing anything wrong myself here (I'm pretty new, had this account for a month but only started using it yesterday) but I noticed someone (Farhaanfk29, I don't know the etiquette for tagging them?) put a link to their personal blog on the Misplaced Pages Links tab with a misleading edit summary. ] (]) 21:53, 21 June 2018 (UTC) |

I've gone through the opening page, and will look at a few others later. Some non-native speakers might find the heavy use of "you" strange; in many languages, it's considered inappropriate. So I've reworded a few instances (not all). ] ] 11:17, 29 July 2018 (UTC) |

== "Citing sources" how-to video needs to be updated == |
|
|
The "" video that appears first in the ''']''' page is out of date and can confuse editors new to Misplaced Pages. <br /> The video instructs learners to add a <nowiki>==Notes==</nowiki> section, then tells them to add a <nowiki>{{reflist}}</nowiki> template to the section. However, in today's Misplaced Pages: |
|
|
*Footnotes are added inline with the '''<nowiki>{{efn|}}</nowiki>''' template, sources for footnotes are cited with <nowiki><ref></ref></nowiki> — and the '''<nowiki>{{notelist}}</nowiki>''' template is added to the // Notes // section. |
|
|
*Referenced sources are added inline and cited with <nowiki><ref></ref></nowiki> — but they appear in a '''<nowiki>==References==</nowiki>''' section. The // References // section = '''<nowiki>{{reflist}}</nowiki>''' template. <br> ] ] 00:05, 22 October 2018 (UTC) |

:Please take action on this and remove the video, so that new users are not confused by conflicting information. How did this go unaddressed for so long? I'm going through the learning material to try to find something to share with a new editor who is 79 years old. |

:#The caption on this video says "A screencast that walks through the essentials needed in citing your sources, part 1". Please remove both the embedded video and this caption, so that people like me can share this tutorial to new users without having it do more harm than good.
