To make a footnote, include the text of the footnote where the the little number is supposed to go and in between <nowiki><ref></ref></nowiki> tags. So I will put a sample footnote at the end of this sentence that I would type in as <nowiki><ref>Sample footnote</ref></nowiki>.<ref>Sample footnote</ref> Now for the footnote to show up at the bottom of the page, I have to put another tag by itself that looks like this <nowiki><references/></nowiki>. So I'll put that down at the bottom of the page, but I'll also add a section heading called References. | To make a footnote, include the text of the footnote where the the little number is supposed to go and in between <nowiki><ref></ref></nowiki> tags.

There is a more complex way of referencing web pages and forum posts that uses the Cite Web template. Find the template [http://flashlightwiki.com/Template:Cite_web here], copy and paste the format to the article, and fill in as much of the information as you can (delete what you don't need). The footnote will be formatted correctly. | |||
