! How references work     

|-

|

= Simple references =

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}}";

References

{{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.

= Named references =

Chzz was born in 1837,

"The book of Chzz", Aardvark Books, 2009.

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.

= Citation templates =

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

}}

Please see user:chzz/demo/citeref to see the result.
