Standard appendices

[edit]
For a more in-depth and up-to-date explanation of appendices, see Wikipedia:Guide to layout#Standard appendices

Certain optional sections go at the bottom of the article. Common appendix sections (in the preferred order) are:

  • Quotations (depreciated) - A {{wikiquote}} badge in "External links" is preferred; other quotes should simply be used within the article body.
  • See also (or Related topics) - A bulleted list of interwiki links and a short explanation of each if it is not already obvious.
  • Notes - If footnotes are used in the article, this section should be added.
  • References - If any sources are cited in the article, they should be listed here (sources may also be listed in the "Notes," "Further reading," and "External link(s)" sections depending on their context).
  • Further reading (or Bibliography) - This is for references that are not specifically cited in the article. A complete list of all references, whether cited or not, can be included here.
  • External links - While internal wiki links are preferred over external links, this section is for listing sites that don't apply to any of the appendices already mentioned.

All succession boxes and navigational footers should go at the very end of the article, following "External links" but preceding the categories and interwiki links.
