Happy editing! Peaceray (talk) 01:42, 3 July 2026 (UTC)Reply

Hi Peaceray, thanks for reaching out!

I'm a new editor and ran into a quick technical puzzle on the 'List of films based on arts books' page. I tried to use a named reference (<ref name="IMDb_Stuart">) across two separate sections (Composers and Conductors) to avoid duplicate IMDb links. However, I ran into a 'defined multiple times with different content' cite error.

And at the moment, as it stands, the URL link to the Mark A. Stuart IMDb page in the Composers section seems to me overridden by the link in the Conductors section, where I removed the citation template in order to rectify the error message in the reference section on the main page, which said: 'Cite error: The named reference "IMDb_Stuart" was defined multiple times with different content (see the help pages).'

Now, in reference 11, the Mark A. Stuart IMDb profile just points to imdb.com and not to https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0835787/?ref_=ttfc_fcr_2_1. Could you give me some advice on how to resolve this issue and maybe suggest the correct workflow for handling a single named citation across different section edits, as I am sure I will encounter these situations in the future?

Thanks!
