Citation style?

Almost every inline reference of this page points to the same page of the reference. I therefore think that the citation style of this page is broken. Why not use sfn style, to refer to individual pages and to link to the reference? Grieg2 (talk) 12:01, 8 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

What are you talking about? Each of the six citations points to a separate page.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 15:20, 8 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You mean that e.g. the seven inline references (1 a-g) to Campbell's work all point to page 287 of his work? And if you want to refer different pages, you have to make a new "<ref>", as was done for Gille with one named reference "<ref name=g7> to page 24", and an unnamed reference: "<ref>Gille, p. 26" to point to another page in his work?.

Each different page cited using sfn format will show as a different citation, so how does that differ from what I've done here from the reader's point of view? Aside from the linking, of course.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 07:51, 9 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

From the reader's point of view it of course does not matter. For maintenance however, I prefer sfn style, where it's immediately clear where every link goes. However, that's a matter of preference. As I said earlier, I thought there was something wrong, because I thought it unlikely that so many citations referred to the same page numbers. Grieg2 (talk) 19:29, 11 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
