how do I add References to pages
There is a built-in system for creating references and links to other sources of information in an article. This is very helpful to readers and should be done as much as possible...that's part of the benefit of using a wiki.
- At the point in the sentence where you want to put a reference, use the "<ref> - </ref>" tags. (beginning and end of the reference)
- e.g. In the sentence "Joe Blow was a fine fellow". To link to more information about Joe Blow you would write - "Joe Blow <ref>[http://joeblow.com Joe Blow]</ref> was a fine fellow." Notice the square brackets on each side of the link and a short word or two (Joe Blow) about the link is inserted as well.
- Then add a "headline" at the bottom of your page. e..g. = notes =
- Then place the following after the Headline "notes" - <references />
- To see an example of this, go to the page for David LaCroix and "view source" or "edit with tab" and look at the code in use there.
