- Do a search on Google or your preferred search engine for the subject of the Wikipedia article that you want to create a citation for.
- Find a website that supports the claim you are trying to find a citation for.
- In a new tab/window, go to the citation generator, click on the 'An arbitrary website' bubble, and fill out as many fields as you can about the website you just found.
- Click the 'Get reference wiki text' button.
- Highlight, and then copy (Ctrl+C or Apple+C), the resulting text (it will be something like
<ref> {{cite web | .... }}</ref>
, copy the whole thing). - In the Wikipedia article, after the claim you found a citation for, paste (Ctrl+V or Apple+V) the text you copied.
- If the article does not have a References or Notes section (or the like), add this to the bottom of the page, but above the External Links section and the categories:
==References== {{Reflist}}

Hello, how do I make a complete reference list, I don't understand the template... Is it possible to change the parameteres of the infobox? I try to add extra things such as "derived from" but they do not show when I preview the box. At last, can you change the name of "[[" links? Like instead of "united kingdom number plate system", could one rename it to "uk license plate" and retain the like? Thef1stig (talk) 18:19, 23 March 2012 (UTC)
- Templates only recognize the fields included in them; anything unrecognized won't show, and blank fields are ignored. [[United Kingdom number plate system|UK license plate]] (called 'piping') allows a linked article title to be abbreviated or rephrased to fit the sentence; [[United Kingdom number plate system]]s (note the 's') can pluralize hyperlinks & piping showing the blue through the end, but only letters, not ' or other special characters.

Disambiguation link notification for January 28 edit
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Trofeo Maserati, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page ASN (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
