Ref following problem means?

Question

Just ran Bio Check, only 1 style problem says 'ref following'.

It's for a living person so I can't provide a link, what do I need to do to fix it and what did I do wrong?

thanks

Answer 1

The biography has a <ref> tag after the <references /> tag. See Suggestion 868: Inline citations after tag. The inline citation (i.e., the <ref>citation<ref>) should be in the == Biography == section. As long as there is a <references /> tag the citation content will appear following that tag -- you can see by clicking on Preview when you are editing a biography. Ensure that the placement of the <ref> tag is not part of the Profile Manager's style (see Communicate Before Editing).

Thanks Kay,

I'll look at it tomorrow when I am more awake!

Open profile in edit mode.

Find the == Sources == and <references /> lines

Look below those lines for <ref>blah de blah</ref>

Either move the whole blah de blah line into the biography section OR remove the <ref></ref> pair from the line.

Okay it is fixed!
