Guide: References

(It should be noted that the words reference, source, and citation are all used here interchangeably. They all mean the same thing in this context.)
This is a guide that will explain how and when to use citations on the wiki. For specific information on our policy regarding references, please refer to the Popee the Performer Wiki Policy and Page Formatting and Editing Guidelines.
Breaking the rules will result in disciplinary action, and going against the editing guidelines will result in your edit being removed.
== Guide ==
Editors are expected to use sources to back up additional information added when they find information from outside sources, or when they are trying to prove or back up a claim in an article—but also any notes can be added using the citation feature. They do not explicitly have to be links.
=== Visual Editor ===
You can add a citation at any time by using the "CITE" button on the visual editor's navigation bar.
=== Source Editor ===
For more on how to use references, please refer to fandom's official help page.
== When to Use References ==
Something to keep in mind when adding references is that you can add them at any point, but it's best to add them when a piece of information is presented and if it has a source, it should be added then. 
However—please add the source after punctuation.

This is because the sources present in this sentence are specifically pertinent to each company mentioned—the references after Kiddyland are specifically references to an article from Kiddyland, where the Nippon Columbia references are references from Nippon Columbia. They should be differentiated in this case.
