Templates: Cites & Refs
{{cite web}}
/{{cite news}}
{{cite book}}
/{{cite journal}}
<ref> {{cite web | url = | title = <title of source page on website> | last = <lname of author> | first = <fname of author> | date = | website = <website name, if it has one other than the domain name> | publisher = <org/company> | access-date = | quote = <context quote if needed> }} </ref>
Check {{cite web}}
for extra params if translating/using non-English sources.
Named refs
Use a normal cite for the first occurrence, with the name attribute added to the ref tag. Then use an empty ref tag for subsequent calls:
<ref name="Cite2024">{{cite...}}</ref> <ref name="Cite2024 />
New refs section if needed
== References == {{reflist}}
Miscellaneous Syntax
Interlanguage links
Easiest way is to use the {{ill}}
template, which shows up as a redlink if the current language version doesn't exist, and a blue link if it does.
