References

Note important information in an article with a reference tag.

Using Source Editor

Basic Reference tags

<ref>Anderle, Michael. Kneel Or Die. Kindle Edition</ref>

If you are entering information from an audiobook, then please reference the Title and chapter #, that really is all that is needed and if from a hardcopy print edition, Title and page # is sufficient. For Kindle users, it is easier to include all of the info as it automatically appends when copying and pasting text, if not using the copy function, title and chapter and/or page # is sufficient. Just wrap ref tags around the edition notation, such as this ....

<ref>Kneel Or Die. Chapter 23</ref>

Advance Reference tags

If you need to reference a lot of information from the same location such as a chapter, within the same article, instead of having a long list of the same reference name at the bottom of the page, you should use the "name" option in the reference tag.

This names that particle reference as 0,

<ref name=":0">Kneel Or Die. Chapter 23. audiobook</ref>

so each time you want to use the same reference again, enter the following.

<ref name=":0" />

Will display like this:

First time
Second time
Third time
Fourth time

Reference names do not have to be 0, if you want to name it "Chapter 5" or just "5" that is acceptable.

Within the same article, if you need to reference several points from another chapter, you just repeat the same scenario as above, but use a different name for the first entry. See below for how it displays.

Using Visual Editor

First, hover the cursor over the symbol that looks like an open book, Cite, there are two options. Using the down arrow you will see the options Basic and Re-used.

Basic

Click on Basic and a screen will show where you can type or paste your reference. This will auto generate into the source code

.
<ref>Kneel Or Die. Chapter 21. Kindle Edition</ref>

in Visual mode will display as

Re-Use

When citing the same source multiple times, you want to reuse the same reference over and over so that you don't have a long list in the display section that is all the same.

Create the first reference the same as for Basic.

<ref>Kneel Or Die. Page 99. Print Edition</ref>

Click on Re-use in the drop down and select the reference that you are going to re-use, this will change the first instance to include the name parameter like this

<ref name=":1">Kneel Or Die. Page 99. Print edition.</ref>

in the source code, But the visual editor will not change

The rest of the times that citation is used the source code will look like

<ref name=":1" /> 

while the visual editor display will look the same

Display list

instead of coding the display list as outlined below, you can use the Insert options and scroll down until you find "Reference Display" and add it in this mode.
