Reference/citation style guide

Use {{reflist}} in "References" section to collect ref definitions as follows:

{{reflist|refs=

<ref name=name1>reference1</ref>

<ref name=name2>reference2</ref>

}}

Then cite refs in text as follows:

Here I am making statement one.<ref name=name1 /> Now I am going on to provide background with statement two.<ref name=name2 />

Together, it looks like this:

---

Main text

Here I am making statement one. Now I am going on to provide background with statement two. Back to one again to finish.

References

To cite multiple different pages from a book, make a "Bibliography" section after the "References" section where the books are listed like this:

{{refbegin}}

*{{cite book|last1=Bob|first1=Bobson|title=Bob's World|date=1800}}

*{{cite book|last1=Fred|first1=Frederick|title=Fred's World|date=1900}}

*{{cite book|last1=Mary|first1=Marigold|last2=Jane|first2=Janeston|title=Mary and Jane's World|date=2000}}

{{refend}}

Then cite books in text as follows:

Bob likes to do thing one.{{sfn|Bobson|1800|p=43}} Fred, on the other hand, does both thing one and thing two.{{sfn|Frederick|1900|pp=105-109}}. Mary and Jane have a whole range of activities at their disposal.{{sfn|Marigold|Janeston|2000|pp=180-181}}

Together, it looks like this:

---

Main text

Bob likes to do thing one. Fred, on the other hand, does both thing one and thing two.. Mary and Jane have a whole range of activities at their disposal.

Bilbliography

• Bob, Bobson (1800). Bob's World.
• Fred, Frederick (1900). Fred's World.
• Mary, Marigold; Jane, Janeston (2000). Mary and Jane's World.

Now, the final mix in nowiki:

===Main text===

Here I am making statement one.<ref name=name1 /> Now I am going on to provide background with statement two.<ref name=name2 /> Back to one again to finish.<ref name=name1 />

Bob likes to do thing one.{{sfn|Bobson|1800|p=43}} Fred, on the other hand, does both thing one and thing two.{{sfn|Frederick|1900|pp=105-109}}. Mary and Jane have a whole range of activities at their disposal.{{sfn|Marigold|Janeston|2000|pp=180-181}}

===References===

{{reflist|refs=

<ref name=name1>reference1</ref>

<ref name=name2>reference2</ref>

}}

===Bilbliography===

{{refbegin}}

*{{cite book|last1=Bob|first1=Bobson|title=Bob's World|date=1800}}

*{{cite book|last1=Fred|first1=Frederick|title=Fred's World|date=1900}}

*{{cite book|last1=Mary|first1=Marigold|last2=Jane|first2=Janeston|title=Mary and Jane's World|date=2000}}

{{refend}}

And as it actually appears:
