| Follow these steps to add a reference to the wiki:
| |
| # Click the ''Edit'' tab on top of the page and wait for the editor to load. Then, place the cursor at the end of the statement you want to add a reference for.
| |
| # Click the ''Cite'' button on the editor toolbar. This will cause a pop-up to appear at your cursor.
| |
| # In the text box, enter the "ID" of the source. These are the most common IDs:
| |
| :# For a book, it's the ISBN number.
| |
| :# For a web site, it's the URL.
| |
| :# For a paper, it's the DOI number.
| |
| # Click the ''Generate'' button and wait a few moments for the reference to be added automatically.
| |
| # Click the ''Save changes...'' button on the top right corner of the editor, add an edit summary (optional) and confirm the edit by clicking ''Save changes''.
| |
|
| |
| If you added the first reference to an article, please follow these extra steps —you'll only have to do them for the first reference on any given page:
| |
| # While on the editor, go at the bottom of the page, after the ''See also'' section but before ''External links'' (if these sections exist; if they don't, just go to the very bottom).
| |
| # Add a new first-level header (using the ''Paragraph'' drop-down on the editor tool bar) and type ''References''.
| |
| # On a new line, click on the ''Insert'' drop-down, click ''More'', and choose ''References list''.
| |
| # Even if you don't see a change to the page, you can then save the article as normal.
| |
| These extra steps ensure that the references appear under the ''References'' header instead of the very bottom of the article without a header.
