Cite error
Reference page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2024%E2%80%932026_Cricket_World_Cup_League_2
First of all, I wish to apologize for making a mistake, resulting the "edit" option being replaced with the message "Cite error: There are <ref> tags on this page without content in them (see the help page).==Points table==" appearing in it's place. I wanted to make corrections on the points table. I did an error checking and pasted the first error from the points table into the line and edited this error. Then I saved the changes, resulting in this. Now I don't know how to fix it and I am feeling like 541t about what I've done. It was totally unintentional and an honest mistake on my part.
I am really terribly sorry for what happened. Please forgive me. I never meant for something like this to happen, but it did. I sincerely hope that the person who is responsible for updating this page, will firstly forgive me, secondly, fix my mistake and thirdly and hopefully teach me the "how to's" of this page.
In advance, I would like to thank you for understanding and fixing my mistake. BIAREN (talk) 07:26, 13 January 2025 (UTC)
- @BIAREN: You accidentally inserted the text
<ref></ref>
at the start of a section. It's very easy to do this by mistake, since some of the editing interfaces have a button that inserts exactly this text. It's not a big problem, and you shouldn't worry about it. -- John of Reading (talk) 07:35, 13 January 2025 (UTC)- Hi John
