25px|alt=Information icon ↗ Hello, and thank you for your efforts to improve Wikipedia, and in particular for adding references, as you did to Bridge over Saint Volodymyr Descent ↗! However, adding a bare URL ↗ is not ideal, and exposes the reference to link rot ↗. It is preferable to use proper citation templates ↗ when citing sources ↗, including details such as title, author, date, and any other information necessary for a bibliographic citation ↗. Here's an example of a full citation using the {{tl|cite web}} template to cite a web page:
: <code><nowiki>Lorem ipsum<ref>{{cite web |title=Download the Scanning Software - Windows and Mac |publisher=Canon Inc |work=Ask a Question |date=2022 |url=https://support.usa.canon.com/kb/index?page=content&id=ART174839 |access-date=2022-04-02}}</ref> dolor sit amet.</nowiki></code>
which displays ''inline ↗'' in the running text of the article as:
:Lorem ipsum{{fake ref|1}} dolor sit amet.
and displays under '''References''' as:
: 1. ^ Download the Scanning Software - Windows and Mac ↗". ''Ask a Question''. Canon Inc. 2022. Retrieved 2022-04-02.
If you've already added one or more bare URLs to an article, there are tools available to expand them into full citations; try the reFill tool ↗, which can resolve some bare references semi-automatically.
Thank you, @Anon13131313, for your contributions!  <span style="white-space: nowrap;">– <small>'''<span style="color: #000;">Primium</span>''' (talk)</small></span> 20:16, 20 May 2024 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for December 29

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited List of AvtoVAZ vehicles ↗, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Sedan ↗ and Roadster ↗. Such links are usually incorrect ↗, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. <small>(Read the FAQ{{*}} Join us at the DPL WikiProject ↗.)</small>

Horsepower/л.с.

Just wanted to make you aware that a metric horsepower ↗ (PS, л.с., etcetera) is not the same as a US/UK horsepower. A horsepower in metric countries is 735W, whereas the imperial/customary horsepower is 746W. It's a minor difference, but it often causes confusion. To distinguish the two, in English WP we usually write "PS" when we are discussing metric hp; "hp" is only for British and American cars. I recommend using a conversion template, like below:

<code><nowiki>{{cvt|118|PS|kW hp|0}}</nowiki></code> which produces this output: {{cvt|118|PS|kW hp|0}}

When you use a Russian reference and write 118hp, some other editor is almost certain to change it to {{cvt|118|hp|kW|0}}, which is actually 120л.с. Labelling it "PS" removes the risk of future editors making it wrong. Please reach out with any questions.
