| ==Making use of edit summaries==
| |
| Hello General Clank! I noticed that you took the initiative to make a major update to the "[[Ezio Auditore da Firenze]]" article recently. Because of the size of the edit (9,454 characters), it helps your fellow editors if you let them know what the edit is about through an edit summary. That way, they know what to look for as they review your edit. While edit summaries are not strictly required, they are strongly encouraged with most edits, especially major ones (or ones where the edit is likely to be disputed, is being disputed, is a dispute, or may invite questions or confusion).

| == Correct ref names ==
| |
| | |
| Hello General Clank, I noticed that for the "ref name" of citations, you have been using numbers like ":5", ":22", etc. This actually goes against the best practices of our wiki, where ref names are supposed to refer to the source in some way, whether in abbreviated form, fully typed out, etc. For example, the ref name for the citation to the novelization of ''Assassin's Creed Odyssey'' could be "novel", but it should not be ":22" as ":22" cannot be easily recognized as the citation for the novel by other editors who may work on the article.

| :From what I can tell, Sol, this numbered system is a feature when reusing any reference through the visual editor, which is how Gen. Clank has done basically all of their edits. The source editor style, such as that used when editing talk pages, allows for fully typing ref names, e.g. <nowiki><ref name="TheWayTheWindBlows"/></nowiki>. – [[User:Darman36|<span style="font-family:Old English Text MT;font-size:15px;color:#">Darman</span>]] ([[User talk:Darman36|<span style="font-family:Viner Hand ITC;color:#">talk</span>]]) 04:00, 8 November 2023 (UTC)
