Did you know that honey will last forever?[1] When excavating ancient Egyptian tombs, archeologists have found pots of honey amongst the tombs artifacts, thousands of years old, but yet still preserved.[1] Fun fact: Winnie-the-Pooh loves honey.[2]

The Guidance Barnstar
Dear Isaidnoway, Thank you very much, once again, for your most helpful advice and guidance on list-defined references. Your assistance has helped me implement it in a way that takes on board lessons learned from your experience, and which will therefore be of benefit to future editors, if/when consensus is reached about adopting it. Thank you also for all your contributions to our encyclopaedia. With kind regards; Patrick. ツ Pdebee.(talk)(become old-fashioned!) 17:03, 10 May 2020 (UTC)

Editors who activate BOTS or any automated tool should always check the results to ensure that they are accurate, as they are often not. This is especially true with reFill 2. You are responsible for every edit that ReFill 2 makes. You must take the time to inspect every citation that this tool creates and fix anything that isn't right. Do not make work for other editors to clean up. These are the known issues with this faulty tool:
it writes the archive URL to the deprecated archiveurl parameter rather than the newer archive-url parameter
adds the discontinued deadurl=y rather than the current url-status=dead parameter
does not add the mandatory archive-date parameter
You will need to fix such references yourself manually. If your edit results in any of these errors, fix it.
Below the edit box is a "Show preview" button. It is strongly recommended that you use this before hitting "Publish changes".
Who knew that 1200+ red links in an article is perfectly acceptable! And when several hundred of them are 12 to 14 years old, that's fine too.
You can not embed the sfn template inside of <ref></ref> tags. The citation will not render → as seen here. Use harvnb instead in <ref></ref> tags, or in the alternative, just remove the ref tags.
Formatting of tables - please note that using <br /> or <hr /> tags in adjacent cells to emulate a visual row is not recommended. This is a problem for users of screen readers which read tables cell by cell, HTML row by HTML row, not visual row by visual row.
Here are some examples of what I mean, Bad Girls, and Glee which both use the <br /> formatting for the "Character" and "Actor" columns. Imagine being able to only listen to these articles and trying to figure out what character goes with what actor.
Do not use abbreviations to communicate important information, and use text alongside numbers, when it is unclear what the numbers represent, as seen in: RuPauls Drag Race Progress Table. This alternate table is accessible.
Screen readers can not read flag icons, colors, symbols and sometimes does not interpret abbreviations or acronyms properly. Ensure that icons, abbreviations, colors in tables and symbols are not the only method used to communicate important information. Words as the primary means of communication should always be given greater precedence over flag icons, colors, abbreviations, acronyms and symbols.
Please be aware, I have vision problems, and may accidentally make errors. While I do try very hard not to, mistakes may occur. These are not errors of ignorance, laziness, or stupidity, but are a consequence of my disability. Thank you for your understanding.
