Editing Incubator escapee wiki:Citing sources (section)

====To be avoided====
When an article is already consistent, avoid:
* switching between major citation styles or replacing the preferred style of one academic discipline with another's – except when moving away from deprecated styles, such as [[#Parenthetical referencing|parenthetical referencing]];
* adding citation templates to an article that already uses a consistent system without templates, or removing citation templates from an article that uses them consistently;
* changing where the references are defined, e.g., moving [[WP:LDRHOW|reference definitions in the reflist]] to the prose, or moving reference definitions from the prose into the reflist.
