Footnotes and references
|
If you need to include footnotes or references in an article, follow this procedure:
Add your footnote text
Key your footnote text between the tags
<ref>
and
</ref>
When saved or previewed, this will appear as a superscript bracketed number.[1]
Generate your footnotes and references=
When you're finished with your text, add an appropriate heading, e.g.
==Notes==
and, on the next line,
<references/>.[2]
The resulting notes will include up-arrows linking back to the original text, which makes it easy for people to check footnotes and continue reading the article.
It should wind up looking like this:
Notes
- ↑ For example, this footnote generated a superscript [1].
- ↑ Do remember to include the slash at the end of <references/>!
