Resident Evil Wiki:Sources
From Resident Evil Wiki
A source—also known as a "reference" in wiki jargon—is the use of outside information to confirm or disprove information in a wiki page.
For example, if someone wanted to know if Claire Redfield was in the S.D. Perry novels, we could cite an S.D. Perry novel to confirm that assertion.
[edit] Use of "ref" and "references"
Carrying on with the example, if the Claire Redfield article mentioned her being in Resident Evil: City of the Dead, you would put <ref>City of the Dead</ref> just after that sentence. It will appear as a mere number (ie. [1]). Clicking on this number will bring you to the footnoted citation if the reference code is included. An example would be the following ref.[1]
Towards the bottom of the article, before the bottom template, place <references/> in the article. It will show the sources in that location.
