Wikipedia and MediaWiki both use the <ref> </ref> tag set for referencing. For instance, this reference number in the [#] at the end of this sentence references this page.<ref>http://litmuse.mga.edu/litwiki/index.php?title=How_do_I_write_on_a_wiki%3F</ref> | |||
Looking at the source code for this page, the above reference uses the following code: | |||
<pre><ref>http://litmuse.mga.edu/litwiki/index.php?title=How_do_I_write_on_a_wiki%3F</ref></pre> | |||

Ensure there is a References section on the page. If one doesn't exist, use <references /> to include one. Preface it by including a section header for References, Links, Citations, etc. See the source for this page for an example. | Ensure there is a References section on the page.
