### Further Detail on Citations/References

Fandom's Community Central is the best place to get any information on how to edit this wiki. Refer to this Community Central article for help with citations. Here is a quick summary, below.

#### How to Add References

1. **Identify the information that requires a reference.** This task may seem daunting, but it is really an application of common sense. Any information that may be disputable should have a reference after it. For example, if you write: “SG Climate Rally collaborated with Speak for Climate (S4C) to create Greenwatch, a climate awareness campaign during the 2020 Singaporean elections”, a reference is needed. This helps ensure clarity and makes sure that all users of the wiki can be confident in the accuracy of the information in it.
2. **Click the "Cite" button at the top of the page, then click "Basic".** You will be brought to an empty box with "Reference" as the title.
3. Here, type a proper formatted reference. First, put the name of the title of the source either in italics or in quotations (such as “SG Climate Rally”) and permalink it to the site. After a period, type the website name of the source, URL link. If a date of initial publication can be found, put this date in brackets after the site name. Finally, write the date that the source was used, otherwise known as the date you retrieved this information. Your reference will look something like this: Title, Site name, Date of publication (if you can find it), website link, Date of retrieval (i.e. Accessed on [Date]).

Example:

If you're citing information again from a page you've already referenced, click on "Re-use" instead of "Basic". You can then select the reference you've already inputted instead of having to cite everything all over again.

Now you have your reference! The last step is to make a list of references. At the very end of the article, place the heading "References." While under this heading, **click** **the "Insert" button at the top of the page, then click "References list".** You will then be brought to a box with the heading "References list". Simply click "Insert" and then you are done!
