These require two parts;

:a)

Chzz is 98 years old. "The book of Chzz", Aardvark Books, 2009. 
He likes tea. [http://www.nicecupofteaandasitdown.com Tea website] 

:b) A section called "References" with the special code "{{reflist}}";

{{reflist}}

(an existing article is likely to already have one of these sections)

To see the result of that, please look at user:chzz/demo/simpleref. Edit it, and check the code; perhaps make a test page of your own, such as user:{{BASEPAGENAME}}/reftest and try it out.

Chzz was born in 1837.
"The book of Chzz", Aardvark Books, 2009.

Chzz lives in Footown.

Note that the second usage has a / (and no closing ref tag). This needs a reference section as above; please see user:chzz/demo/namedref to see the result.

You can put anything you like between and , but using citation templates makes for a neat, consistent look;

Chzz has 37 Olympic medals. {{Citation
| last = Smith
| first = John
| title = Olympic medal winners of the 20th century
| publication-date = 2001
| publisher = Cambridge University Press
| page = 125
| isbn = 0-521-37169-4
}}
