This is the link to the actual edit you made:Special:Diff/1130767099. The beginning of the citation,<ref name="fils">, isn't meant for the name of the source – instead it's a nickname for the citation itself so that, if needed, it can be reused in other places in the article by simply inserting<ref name="fils" /> (notice thebackslash slash at the end) rather than having to put the whole citation in again. If you look at my editSpecial:Diff/1130877795 you can see that I put the relevant information into the fields of a{{cite journal}} template.

In fairness to you, this would have been a difficult one to do because it's an extract from an academic journal rather than a simple website, so the nature and amount of information you need is different – but still, four of these citation templates can be accessed easily via theRefToolbar.XAM2175 ^(T)12:35, 1 January 2023 (UTC)
