Editing Help:FAQ (section)

==How do I add references to an article?==

There are two ways to create references.
<ol>
<li>'''Using the visual editor.'''</li>
<ul>
<li> Click Insert -> More ->  Citation</li>
<li> Another way is to type <code><nowiki><ref</nowiki></code> and the reference insertion dialog will pop up.</li>
<li> A third way is to use the shortcut <code>Ctrl+Shift+K</code>Citation.</li>
In order to reuse a reference you have already added either use the same Citation dialog and the reuse tab or click Insert -> More ->  Re-use reference
</ul>
<li> '''Using the source editor.'''</li>
<ul>
<li>Enclose your reference between these tags <code><nowiki><ref name="source-1"> </ref></nowiki></code>. Within the<code><nowiki><ref> tag use the appropriate citation template to fomat your reference (<code><nowiki>{{cite web}},{{cite news}},{{citation}}</nowiki></code>)  </li>
Adding a name is not required but lets you re-use the source by inserting <code><nowiki><ref name="source-1" /></nowiki></code> later.
</ul>
</ol>
