Adding references
editTo add a reference: at the end of the phrase or sentence you are supporting, type <ref>. Then insert your link or reference or footnote. At the end of the supporting information, type </ref>.
At the end of pages that use this reference/footnote system, there is usually a section title References or Footnotes. Inside that section, there should be a tag <references />. On the actual page, all text typed inside the <ref> tags will appear where the <references /> tag was placed.
I hope that makes sense. For even more complicated explanations, you can read Wikipedia:Footnotes and Cite.php. I would be happy to try to answer any more questions you may have - just drop me a line. Lyrl Talk Contribs 18:36, 10 September 2006 (UTC)
