: Fixed. The template name is case sensitive beyond its first letter. The working template is Birth date with a lowercase d, and this article was the only one using Birth Date with a capital D, which did not exist, so the infobox showed a red link instead of the date. Your copy of the template today also did not show up in the article because the article render was cached from before you created it. I have changed the article to the canonical Birth date name, so the infobox now shows 16 January 1925, and turned Template:Birth Date into a redirect to Template:Birth date so the capital D form does not break again.

Revision as of 15:39, 3 November 2026

The first reference named Saha mentions many other achievements and publications. Anyone interested can expand upon that. Dokania😎(📩) 12:25, 3 November 2026 (IST)Reply

One reference from web dunia @Bharatwiki Socrates has only first name (Giridhar) as author. So I have added it but it's showing an error how to fix? Dokania😎(📩) 12:26, 3 November 2026 (IST)Reply

Fixed. CS1 first1 needs a matching last1, so when a source gives only one name, use author1 (or author) with that single name instead of first1. Changed the Webdunia reference from first1=Giridhar to author1=Giridhar, and the missing name error is gone. 🍁Bharatwiki Socrates🍁(📩) 13:13, 3 November 2026 (IST)Reply
