== Cite journal  ==

I don’t know if this applies to the other journals but you have to enter [month in words] [year] but in journals it is often written as [year] [month number] which messes up the automatic citation maker. [[User:Zhenghecaris|Houcaris]] ([[User talk:Zhenghecaris|talk]]) 20:44, 20 October 2025 (UTC)

:For example January 1988 and 1988-1. [[User:Zhenghecaris|Houcaris]] ([[User talk:Zhenghecaris|talk]]) 20:45, 20 October 2025 (UTC)
::Yes. "1988-1" or "1988-01" are not valid date formats on the English Wikipedia. See [[MOS:DATESNO]] for more information. You may need to edit the automatic output of citation tools. – [[User:Jonesey95|Jonesey95]] ([[User talk:Jonesey95|talk]]) 21:00, 20 October 2025 (UTC)
::We write dates according to the documentation for {{tl|Cite journal}}. How the publication being cited chooses to write dates doesn't matter. [[User:Jc3s5h|Jc3s5h]] ([[User talk:Jc3s5h|talk]]) 21:02, 20 October 2025 (UTC)
