Article Evaluation If it's a new article, add a References section to the article using WikiCode.
You can access WikiCode through the "Edit source" option on the page.
Then, follow these instructions:
Check that the bottom of the page has a "Notes" or "References" section. If not, type: ==Notes==.
Check that the Notes section either has the text
or . If not, type:
. This determines where your references will appear on the page.
Now click after the text you would like to create a reference for. Now type in the [1] after your reference. Wiki software will automatically add your inline reference number.
Click "Cite" in the toolbar at the top of the edit window. Position the cursor where you want to add a citation. Click the Templates pulldown, then selection the type of source: general webpage, news article, book, or journal article. Fill out the details of the source. Click "Insert". If you enter a Ref name, you can reuse the same citation elsewhere in the article without needing to re-enter the details. Click "Named references" to re-use a citation that includes a Ref name.
To edit an existing reference, use the "edit" button to open VisualEditor. Click on the bracketed number for the source you want to edit. You will see an icon for the type of reference (book, web, news, etc.) and an "Edit" button to the right.
