Help:Cite

The cite extension on Wikia allows you to add footnotes and references to articles.

How to Use It
Citations are enabled on all Wikia wikis. To create a footnote or reference, simply switch to source mode while editing and then bracket the footnote text with tags. In source mode, the first sentence on this page would look like this:


 * The cite extension allows you to add footnotes and references to articles. 

At the end of the page create a references, footnotes, or citations section and include the code or   just after the text in question.

However, not all wikis have a fact template, so if you need to create it the code for the Template:Fact page is:

...which creates [citation needed].

You may wish to link the 'citation needed' text to a help page on the wiki.

More fun with citations
Eventually, you may want to create templates specifically for use in references to keep order - for example, a template for web addresses, another for book references.

Finally, you may wish to customize the references list design itself, such as giving it two columns or reducing the text size slightly. See Template:Reflist as an example.
