Help with bundling citations?

Hey Bagumba, so at the very end of the second sentence at the Dirk Nowitzki article I'd like to bundle all eight of those inline citations into one footnote. It's presently a sub-optimal format style. I checked the help page and the template documentation, but haven't a clue how to do it, even tested a preview attempt on the Nowitzki article to no avail. Any chance you can help with this? Left guide (talk) 08:44, 16 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Left guide: Did you try WP:BUNDLING? —Bagumba (talk) 10:05, 16 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, and {{Unbulleted list citebundle}}. The coding and explanations for that is like a foreign language to me. :( If it's too much for you to decipher, I'll probably post a help request at WP:VPT, just thought you might be willing to assist since you seem really interested in the article topic. Left guide (talk) 10:12, 16 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Left guide: I was going to say look at LeBron James' lead, but that looks convoluted. I'll punt on this. Not very helpful that BUNDLING doesn't have source code examples. Good luck. —Bagumba (talk) 10:23, 16 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I was actually thinking of doing an {{efn}} like the LeBron example you mentioned. It's simple and I've seen it done that way in another article too, but I don't know if it's the most MOS-compliant. Definitely beats eight individual citation footnotes though. Left guide (talk) 10:30, 16 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
