Please do not add or change content, as you did at His Dark Materials, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources to see how to add references to an article. Thank you. DonIago (talk) 18:56, 25 June 2025 (UTC)
- I'll add a few, but it is obviously Steampunk almost by definition. Mgifford (talk) 01:37, 17 July 2025 (UTC)

- Per WP:CIRCULAR, other Wikipedia articles aren't sources; however, I see a source is provided there, so it may be possible to use that source to support your claim. DonIago (talk) 02:14, 17 July 2025 (UTC)

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. Regarding your recent edits to EU Sovereign Tech Fund (EU-STF) when you modified the page, you introduced unknown parameters. Just because you specify |some_param=some_variable does not always mean that variable will display. The |some_param= must be defined in the template. You can look at the documentation for the template you are using but it is also helpful to use the preview button before you save your edit; this helps you find any errors you have made and ensure that the values you have added are displaying correctly. Below the edit box is a Show preview button. Pressing this will show you what the page will look like without actually saving it. It is strongly recommended that you use this before saving. If you have any questions, contact the help desk for assistance.
Thank you. Zackmann (Talk to me/What I been doing) 21:17, 21 October 2025 (UTC)
- Thanks for this @Zackmann I think I've adjusted this correctly. Using the preview certainly would have been better. Mgifford (talk) 22:11, 21 October 2025 (UTC)
