=== Footnotes and references === | |||
Footnotes add additional explanations or detail to a statement that would otherwise be difficult to place in the articles, whereas references inform the viewer where the information comes from. | |||
Footnote tags are added using {{t link|note}}, and are listed using the {{t link|notelist}}. | |||
Footnote tags are added using {{t link|ref}} or {{t link|cite web}} (in the case or URLs), and are listed using {{t link|reflist}}. | |||
Footnote and reference tags should always be added immediately {{em|after}} punctuation, with no space or break between the tag and punctuation. | |||
References can, and often should, be added to footnotes as well. | |||
On articles with a limited amount of footnotes and references, the two sections can be combined into a single section, using <nowiki>{{reflist|note}}</nowiki> to list notes.</small> | |||
