References[edit]

In the text: for websites

<ref>
{{cite web
| last = 
| first = 
| authorlink = 
| coauthors = 
| year = 
| url = 
| title = 
| format = 
| work = 
| publisher = 
| accessdate = 
}}
</ref>

(note that the accessdate and accessyear are automatically turned into intra-wikipedia links, and the title is automatically turned into a link to the url listed - other pieces can be square-bracketted as usual)

for books

<ref>
{{cite book
| author =
| title =
| publisher =
| year =
| id =
}}
</ref>

(here, only the isbn id is automatically a link - anything else must be square-bracketted)

At the end (for example, after a ==References==)

<references/>

Userboxes[edit]

These I lifted from Wikipedia:Userboxes:

A userbox is a small box that looks like this.
Userboxes can come in many different styles.
Boxes can have one or two sideboxes.

As with the Babel box, there is a box to group userboxes together. Just make a list of userboxes with {{Userboxtop|box-name}} at the top and {{Userboxbottom}} at the bottom.
