Ref template | Fandom

Ggeorgelys·5/1/2025 in Technical Advice & Coding Help

Excuse my English, but I'd like some help.

I created a template to add references to specific chapters of a book to character articles. There are a lot of chapters, so I was looking for solutions to avoid creating templates for each chapter or writing them repeatedly.

So far, so good, but while testing, I get "Citation error: Invalid <ref> tag; the name "TEXT ID" is defined multiple times with different content" if a reference is used two or more times.

They don't have different content, because the "name (in the template)" parameter is supposed to be for those cases.

Could you help me so that this error doesn't appear?

The issue is that the reference name c20ar has two different reference values. One of them specifies a page number and the other one doesn't:

Amanecer Rojo, capítulo 20: La Casa de Marte (p. 5). primera
Amanecer Rojo, capítulo 20: La Casa de Marte

Because the actual reference text doesn't match, that's the reason why there's an error.

To fix this, you can base the value of name on the data you provide directly in the {{Ref}} template. For example, {{Ref|AR|20|5}} might be named something like ar-c20-p5.

I created a reference template that may help, but it's based on a different book series, so you'll need to change the values to fit your needs. You can see it in action on my sandbox.

If you have any questions or need any further help, let me know :)

What do you think?
