This page contains information and examples on Wikipedia references and footnotes

[edit]

To put footnotes in article text, use tags with appropriate descriptors:

  • Book {{ref|HOR}}
  • News article{{ref|News}}.

Reference embedded in text, which automatically generates an entry at the end of the article (above "end reference" tag):

<ref>Linda Souter, [http://townsvillebulletin.news.com.au/common/story_page/0,7034,18907028%255E14787,00.html Military probes soldier's death], ''[[Townsville Bulletin]]'', [[24 April]], 2006</ref>

A reference named to allow multiple references to it in one article:

<ref name="SMHGrilling">Les Kennedy, [http://www.smh.com.au/news/national/grilling-on-kovco-death/2006/05/15/1147545265582.html ''Grilling on Kovco death''], ''[[Sydney Morning Herald]]'', [[16 May]], 2006</ref>

A second reference using the "ref name": <ref name="SMHGrilling" />

Using CITE template:
<ref name="ScottField1">{{cite web
|url=http://blogs.msdn.com/windowsvistasecurity/
