Big Red No-No, Supervisors only

Question

Hello.  During the Source-a-thon I got on a tear, as did so many.  I just checked one of the profiles I sourced.  The Source appears in RED INK, and won't link.  It reads "The action you have requested is limited to users in the group Supervisors."  Oops.  What gives?

Answer 1

Oops.  I just realized what I've done.**Thank goodness I'm a slow worker and only did, like 100 of these.  NOW, how do I get a list of all the profiles I goofed so that I can go and fix things?

** or do I?  Now I'm not so sure...

I don't know if there's a data doctor report you can run, but you can always backtrack through your contributions and see most of them (if not all).

Thanks Scott.  I didn't even know there was a contributions tab.  (found it, right there, where it should be). I'm going back to bed.  I'm still not sure what I've done wrong, exactly.  I'm sure it's related to proper use of double brackets INSIDE of something else, or OUTSIDE of something else, for a URL that links.  On the page for Mr. Nelson I linked two similar sources, both with double brackets.  One took, one came out red inked.  I'll figure it out.

Answer 2

Your reference link is still incorrect. You have WV before the http.

Eureka!  Thanks, James.  WT analogue wouldn't let me remove the WV when it was Red, and I forgot to remove it after "fixing it," so thank you.

But you got me to thinking.  I re-read the "help-adding links," and yet again wondered how I got so off-kilter.  Now I know.  Two things happened...

1.  Hoping to improve my profiles, I started adding inline references almost exclusively a while back.  I can't remember the last time simply added a source to the SOURCE section, that is, until this weekend's Source-a-thon.

2.  Somewhere along the way of adding inline reference, I got in the habit of adding double-brackets to other website URLs!  I didn't even realize this was happening!!  Because...

3.  When you use reference brackets, i.e. <ref></ref>, and you drop a website URL into them, double brackets work.  I don't know why they work, of if they're supposed to work or not, but they do.  So I went months using double brackets without realizing my error.  I guess it's an error.  Still not sure.

4.  Double-brackets outside of reference brackets, give you the red type supervisor thingy.  

I think that's how it works.  Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
