Citing a reference multiple times

Hi, thank you for your contributions to Asalto. Here's a tip: If you want to cite the same reference multiple times within an article, then create the reference once and cite it as many times as is necessary. This reduces clutter in the reference list.

To do this, use the name attribute of the ref tag. The first time you cite a reference, define it as

<ref name="refname">Reference content</ref>

and then, when you want to cite the same reference later in the same article, just use

<ref name="refname"/>

where refname is a name of your choice. Good luck. — Smjg (talk) 13:48, 28 July 2016 (UTC)
