Sources should be cited for information in articles. You can cite sources by putting
<ref name="refname">Text or {{cite web}} or {{cite journal}}</ref>
after material from that reference. If you use material from the same reference again later in the article, you can simply write
<ref name="refname" />
Replace refname with a short name you want to use to refer to the reference (it won't actually appear anywhere and should not contain spaces). For the body of the reference, you can use:
- Template:Cite web for web sites (please see the template page for usage info)
- Template:Cite journal for articles printed in magazines, etc. (again, please see the template page)
- Just text describing the reference for other sources
Then at the bottom of a page create a references section containing simply Template:Reflist, like this:
==References==
{{reflist}}
