How to Add References with Wikitext

 * References or citations are nothing more than the old term footnote. They can contain information as to where a quote was found or giving addition information about a topic that may have only been briefly covered in the article.


 * The coding is simple. Right after the word you want to create a footnote or reference, type  .  For example, suppose you want to add a footnote after the phrase: "No other success can compensate for failure in the home."


 * You might add this after the word you want the footnote number to appear next to: "No other success can compensate for failure in the home "


 * The sentence with the ref will look like so in the article: Who said; "No other success can compensate for failure in the home." [1]


 * Notice a superscript number inside brackets. Click on the number and you will be taken to the reference at the bottom of the page or wherever you have placed the footnotes.
