Only when engineers understand this and are willing to change the way the citation code is found, will the problem be addressed. I would think that they could change the search program to look for this template instead of the <tt>bibdesc</tt> coding, but that is only my guess. --[[User:Cottrells|Steve]] {{toolbar|[[User talk:Cottrells|talk]]|[[Special:Contributions/Cottrells|contribs]]}} 13:04, 22 March 2012 (UTC) | Only when engineers understand this and are willing to change the way the citation code is found, will the problem be addressed.

:OK after writing all this, I had a brainwave and realised that the <tt>bibdesc</tt> coding could still be added directly in the wiki, just enclosed in a template (see [[England and Wales Census, 1901 (FamilySearch Historical Records)]]). I believe that contributors using the rich text editor, see HTML comments as small unknown marks, but that they will see the name of templates when used thus adding the citation inside a template will prevent the unwitting from removing the code. It will not stop all instances but they will know that they have removed a template called '''{{tl|Collection citation}}'''. | |||
:PS I have also added a little formatting to the template to make the citation stand out from the main content text. What do you think? --[[User:Cottrells|Steve]] {{toolbar|[[User talk:Cottrells|talk]]|[[Special:Contributions/Cottrells|contribs]]}} 13:21, 22 March 2012 (UTC) | |||
