How to add references

[edit]

You mentioned on the Sly Cooper page that you do not yet know how to insert a reference. Well, when you are editing a page there is a bar at the top of the edit window (just below the article title) with menu items. One of these items is 'Cite'. If you expand this menu by clicking on it, then a new bar will appear below with a drilldown menu of reference templates. Select the type of source you're referencing and it will prompt you to fill in some fields for the reference, such as title and URL. Then just click 'Insert' and the automatically generated ref will be placed wherever you've positioned yourself in the edit window. For more information, please see Wikipedia:Citing sources. -- Fyrefly (talk) 14:31, 16 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Also, to show that a citation is needed just use the {{cn}} tag (preferably with a date) rather than a comment. -- Fyrefly (talk) 14:38, 16 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
