Hello Marika! Welcome to Wikipedia and our author team!
I'm really happy that you decided to join the project. I know that the first steps can be quite overwhelming, so here are some tipps to dive in:
- General info page about editing
- Quick guide for editing with Wiki Markup
- Wikipedia:Teahouse – the no. 1 place for newcomers to ask questions
- Current to-do list for Yuzu's main biography article
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask. I hope, I can be of help.

Citation guide
[edit]Overview
[edit]This guide shows you the citation system that we use on Hanyu's page series. It is a bit more complex than some other alternatives, but it has the following great advantages:
- We generally place full citations of sources in the reference section, not in the prose part of the article. This makes the Wiki markup text much easier to read and edit. In the prose sections, we only use short citation templates.
- Print sources are separated from digital sources, both in the Wiki markup text and the rendered output, which makes them easy to find. Digital sources are listed in the sub-section "Citations", print sources in the sub-section "Books and magazines cited".
- In the Wiki markup, the cited sources are sorted chronologically by their publication date (and alphabetically by the publisher's initials if published on the same day). This makes the search for single sources very easy and prevents the unintentional addition of duplicate sources.
- We use a special ID for digital sources, which is unambiguous and easy to generate: Publisher's initials + publication date
Example: "NA220720" is the ID for an online news article published by Nikkei Asia on 2022-07-20.
Here is an example of a typical prose and reference section with the Wiki markup text on the left and the rendered output on the right:

Inline citations in prose part
[edit]We generally use the r-template for digital and the sfn-template for print sources. If you take a look at the examples in the right column, the templates are really friendly to use. There are optional parameters for quotes etc., but I want to limit this guide to the basic templates here.
Citation type | Template | Example |
---|---|---|
Online news article | {{r|IDYYMMDD}} |
{{r|NA220720}}
|
Book/magazine with known author | {{sfn|author last name|year|p=page}} |
{{sfn|Russell|2022|p=22}}
|
Magazine with unknown author | {{sfn|magazine name|year|p=page}} |
{{sfn|Kiss & Cry|2021|p=8}}
|
In the final output, these templates all render like this,[1] with an anchor link to the full source in the reference section. These inline citation anchors should generally be placed right after a punctuation with no spacing between them.
Here is an ID list for the most commonly used digital sources on Hanyu's page series:
Japanese newspapers | Other Japanese sources | International sources |
---|---|---|
|
|
|
Note: For sources like GQ, AERA, NHK, NBC or ISU the ID is identical to their standard abbreviation.
Full sources in reference section
[edit]This is the general structure of the reference section in the Wiki markup text. The only thing for you to do here is to add new citation templates either with enclosing ref-tags (citation section) or with a preceding bullet (books/magazines section).
General structure of the reference section
|
---|
==References== ===Citations=== {{reflist|refs= <!--Online news articles--> <ref name=IDYYMMDD>{{Citation template for news article 1}}</ref> <ref name=IDYYMMDD>{{Citation template for news article 2}}</ref> ... <!--General websites--> <ref name=ID>{{Citation template for website 1}}</ref> <ref name=ID>{{Citation template for website 2}}</ref> ... <!--Television productions--> <ref name=IDYYMMDD>{{Citation template for TV production 1}}</ref> <ref name=IDYYMMDD>{{Citation template for TV production 2}}</ref> ... }} ===Books and magazines cited=== {{refbegin}} * {{Citation template for print source 1}} * {{Citation template for print source 2}} * ... {{refend}} |
Note: Under "general websites" we usually list sources either with unknown publication date or regular updates. In Wiki articles like Hanyu's main bios page that use many official documents published by the ISU/JSF like competition protocols etc., these sources are listed separately.
Here is an overview of the five types of citation templates that we use. The table and the notes below are a bit overwhelming at first look, but don't be worried. When you have a source that you want to add, you choose the fitting citation type, copy the template, and select the fitting parameters for your source.

- Hello Henni,
- Thank you so much for the detailed explanation. As you say, it sounds rather complex. I’ll print them out and use them as reference. I really appreciate your help!
- Best wishes, Marika yuzu (talk) 23:45, 2 November 2022 (UTC)
- I'm sure, the guide above looks quite overwhelming right now, but please have no fear to try out the templates shown above. The easiest way to learn the citation system is to take a random online or print source and try to fill out the templates you need for it. If you are unsure what to write for certain parameters, just leave them blank or ping me.
- My prevailed strategy is: I always look for similar citations (same publisher) that already exist on Yuzu's page series, copy them, and change the few parameters that are different (title, date etc.) This works splendidly in about 90% of the cases.
- Best wishes and enjoy Prologue this weekend! Henni147 (talk) 19:18, 3 November 2022 (UTC)
