- Do a search on Google or your preferred search engine for the subject of the Wikipedia article that you want to create a citation for.
- Find a website that supports the claim you are trying to find a citation for.
- In a new tab/window, go to the citation generator, click on the 'An arbitrary website' bubble, and fill out as many fields as you can about the website you just found.
- Click the 'Get reference wiki text' button.
- Highlight, and then copy (Ctrl+C or Apple+C), the resulting text (it will be something like
<ref> {{cite web | .... }}</ref>
, copy the whole thing). - In the Wikipedia article, after the claim you found a citation for, paste (Ctrl+V or Apple+V) the text you copied.
- If the article does not have a References or Notes section (or the like), add this to the bottom of the page, but above the External Links section and the categories:
==References== {{Reflist}}

Hello, how do I make a complete reference list, I don't understand the template... Is it possible to change the parameteres of the infobox? I try to add extra things such as "derived from" but they do not show when I preview the box. At last, can you change the name of "[[" links? Like instead of "united kingdom number plate system", could one rename it to "uk license plate" and retain the like? Thef1stig (talk) 18:19, 23 March 2012 (UTC)
- Templates only recognize the fields included in them; anything unrecognized won't show, and blank fields are ignored. [[United Kingdom number plate system|UK license plate]] (called 'piping') allows a linked article title to be abbreviated or rephrased to fit the sentence; [[United Kingdom number plate system]]s (note the 's') can pluralize hyperlinks & piping showing the blue through the end, but only letters, not ' or other special characters.

Disambiguation link notification for January 28
[edit]Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Trofeo Maserati, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page ASN (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
