::::16.^== Cite error: The named reference apple musicbtva was invoked but never defined . (see the help page).==▼==Rescue Refs==
I thought there was a tool or bot that would search articles that link into/out of this "broken" article looking for references with the same "name", to fix it? Like right now I'm looking at <nowiki><ref name="naut"/></nowiki> and thought there was a quick way to see if a related article uses that terminology?

Hi, I was editing [[Gabrielle Carteris]] to add birth date and when I did, I got the Cite error: The named reference <code>btva</code> was invoked but never defined error. What's this error? [[User:Kartagis|Kartagis]] ([[User talk:Kartagis|talk]]) 16:22, 15 August 2025 (UTC)
== How to resolve issue on ''[[My Name Is Earl]]''? ==
:You broke the page's formatting by removing the code <code>--></code>, which signals the end of an HTML comment. As a result, most of the page was processed as a comment, including the definition of that reference. See [[MOS:COMMENT]] for more information. —[[User:Mx. Granger|Mx. Granger]] ([[User talk:Mx.

In [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=My_Name_Is_Earl&diff=1290052337&oldid=1286162232 this edit], I copied some note definitions to ''[[My Name Is Earl]]'' from [[List of My Name Is Earl episodes|List of ''My Name Is Earl'' episodes]]. Now I see '''Cite error: A list-defined reference named "4.25" is not used in the content''' for three of the embedded references. The article I copied from does not have the same issue, so I'm perplexed! = [[User:Paul2520|paul2520]] [[User talk:Paul2520|💬]] 15:03, 12 May 2025 (UTC)

::Hi {{u|Redrose64}}. I think there's been a misunderstanding. I reverted my edit [[Wikipedia:Assume good faith|in good faith]].
::Note that the page has an error about a missing <code><nowiki>{{notelist}}</nowiki></code> because the section {{section link|My Name Is Earl|Episodes}} transcludes a table from [[List of My Name is Earl episodes|''List of My Name is Earl'' episodes]]. It looks like {{u|TheDoctorWho}} recently added footnotes with the [[WP:LDR]] format.

:::{{ping|paul2520}} [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=List_of_My_Name_Is_Earl_episodes&diff=prev&oldid=1290169782 I solved this] another way by shifting the defined references to be inside the transclusion tags on the List of Episodes page. This way they still pull into ''[[My Name Is Earl]]'' without needing to add an additional 88 references into that article. As for what actually caused the issue in the first place however, I'm not quite sure.

I'm trying to transclude an {{tl|efn}} note across the four season articles.

::::::Another editor separated them all out before you had gotten a chance to take a look at it. I believe I figured out what was causing the issue though, I was attempting to nest a reference inside the EFN tag, causing the issue when transcluded. I just moved the ref outside (not the best solution, but it theoretically works, I guess).
