: For clarity, the outline I posted in the RfC's lead section was not followed, neither by those participating in the RfC, nor by its closer. Which resumes to "zero traction" for that implementation proposal. Of course the second part of the suggestion, i.e., don't make a mess when converting, should always be understood, whether made explicit or not. Indirectly that was reflected in the closer's comment that bot conversions need separate approval (unapproved bots would be a sure path to messy conversions...). The closer's report did not provide for "local" consensuses outdoing the general deprecation, so I no longer support the first part of my implementation suggestion (it would be undermining what was already decided via the RfC – and I no longer think it a good idea either). --[[User:Francis Schonken|Francis Schonken]] ([[User talk:Francis Schonken|talk]]) 13:13, 9 September 2020 (UTC)
: After some thought, I suggest waiting to answer this question until we see how the issue is resolved/reworded at {{slink|Wikipedia:Citing sources#Parenthetical referencing}}. There is still some disagreement at that page about the wording. [[User:Biogeographist|Biogeographist]] ([[User talk:Biogeographist|talk]]) 15:23, 9 September 2020 (UTC)

Often the text being referenced is just a one liner? What do you think about quoting the text in the citation as a method of referencing the source? [[User:Daniel.Cardenas|Daniel.Cardenas]] ([[User talk:Daniel.Cardenas|talk]]) 00:46, 8 November 2020 (UTC)
