Adding references

[edit]
  • <ref></ref> is the simplest option. Just copy and paste the webpage address (URL) between the ref tags, and save.
  • Best to cite every sentence, not just every paragraph. That way you can rearrange your content more easily. Okay to cite the same source many times.
  • "Bare URLs" are okay - someone else will fix them sooner or later. But there is any easy way to turn them into more proper references. When you're ready, go to reFill, type/copy in the article name and click on "Fix page". If it looks okay, then save. If you realise something is not right later, you can always tweak it - you can't break Wikipedia!
  • For Google Books, you can use Reftag (type it into a search engine - it will be the first result, or go to Reftag. Copy the Google Books URL into the search box and click "Load". It will generate a full reference, and you can tweak the various fields to produce a full reference (click the "Make citation" button) in the box below that you can copy and paste into your Wikipedia article.
  • For the "cite templates", click on the drop down arrow next to "Templates" in the menu bar above. For "cite book", all you need is the ISBN and the page number.
