Fast Formatting Question About Reference Tag Error [closed]

Question

I have a profile that generates an error message when I go to save changes. It says

"<ref> tags must not use "curly" quotes around the name."

I am blind from trying to find this in the code.  I must be looking in the wrong place.  Can someone clue me in here?

Thanks!

You are most gracious.  Thank you.  I see the error may have "miss-called" my actual error.  I will try to remember this in the future.

Answer 1

Do a search for " in the edit page, and it will find them in the text box, and then you can scroll through and compare.  Look at the Findagrave reference, and compare it to quotes around other names.  Curly!  (also, you don't actually even need quotes in reference names)

Need or not need, it is safer to use them than not - especially if you use two or more "words" in a refname= citation.

I am with Celia. I don't use quotes in Ref Names, less typing that can cause problems is my reasoning.  If you want 2 words, then push the words together with each capitalized and no spacing between them.  I make sure my Census ref names have the year at the end of the name so I don't need to use quotes.

You need the quotes if you have a space in the ref name, special characters or start with a number, I think.

These are all workable solutions.  I thank you guys for helping my Wiki html skills improve.
