In the citations section of the cheatsheet, there is an example given like this: "Hello again!(ref name="LoC" /)(ref)". This is an error, because the "/" should be inside the second <ref> statement to close it, rather than in the main body of the ref. The corrected text should be: "Hello again!(ref name="LoC")(/ref)" Note that i've replaced < with ( here for the formatting of this suggestion - I don't actually want there to be references here.

The page is called "Editing help," not "Wikitext help," and I came here because I was editing another page and found to my surprise that typing ⌘F (I'm on a Mac) didn't let me search the page's text, but instead seemed to insert something into it. So I was looking for help on how to operate the actual editor, rather than on what content to put in the page. I know this isn't the place to ask my specific question, but I'm using it as an example of a kind of help I think would be, uh, helpful. (P.S. Turned out I was really typing ⌘V, duh. I'm a self-taught typist. But I think the general point may still apply?) Briankharvey ( talk) 03:05, 6 January 2024 (UTC)
