Manual of Style/Adding Referances

==== Visual editor ====
On the top bar, click Insert and choose Reference. Type in the text of the citation or footnote desired. For items sharing the same reference, click the Use an existing reference button, or copy and paste the brackets directly. At the end of an article, in a section titled References, insert a references list.
Should one desire to add a template to a reference, the use of the Source Editor is recommended; disregarding this advice might cause the Visual Editor to crash and the edit to be lost.
==== Source editor ====
Use the following code
 <ref>Actual reference</ref>
Templates and links go inside the ref tags
 <ref>{{Template}},[[Link]]</ref>
For items sharing a same reference, add an identifier <ref name="name"> to the first reference, then use use a terminated ref tag <ref name="name" /> to the next ones. The identifier is arbitrary.
 This is a thing. <ref name="name">Only the text from the first tag will be used as a
 footnote. The name can be anything with at least one letter, and there can be multiple
 tags with multiple names.</ref>
 
 By adding an identifier to the ref tag, using another tag with the identifier will use
 the same reference for multiple inline citations.<ref name="name" />
 
 Only the text in the first tag is used.<ref name="name">Making the text inside this
 useless.</ref>
 
 <references />
At the end of an article, in a section titled References, insert a references list using the terminated tag <references />.
