How to:
Add a citation with WikiCode
You can also add a citation using Wikicode.
You can access Wikicode from edit mode by clicking the pencil icon and selecting "Source editing".
Then, follow these instructions:
- Check that the bottom of the page has a "References" or "Notes" section. If
not, type:
==References==
. - Check that the References section either has the text
{{reflist}}
or<references />
. If not, type:{{reflist}}
. This determines where your references will appear on the page. - Now click after the text you would like to create a reference for.
- Now type in the
<ref>
tag before your reference and type</ref>
after your reference. Wikipedia's software will automatically add your inline reference number.
