Resident Evil Wiki:Sources

From Resident Evil Wiki

(Redirected from Help:Ref)

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.

[edit] Reference

  1. This should take you to the reference area.
