I understand the need to keep things simple, and to generally avoid creating confusion for new/inexperienced ones with documentation on how things ''aren't'' supposed to be done (anymore). There's no question in my mind that the help page should no longer provide '''examples''' in the deprecated format. My only concern is whether we should try to prepare editors who may encounter parenthetical references "in the wild", as that could otherwise be a source of confusion as well? -- [[User:FeRDNYC|FeRDNYC]] ([[User talk:FeRDNYC|talk]]) 13:00, 9 September 2020 (UTC)
