Help:References

References allow editors to provide sources for statements in articles. On TESwiki, we mainly use references to link to an in-game book to provide a source to the subject in question.

A reference appears on the page as a small, superscript link close to a statement that links to a detailed explanation further down the page.

Usage
To add the  tags as follows:

This is a statement.

This would appear on the page as: This is a statement.

To make the list of references appear on the page, add  to the bottom of the page. This automatically inserts a References header.

Duplicate sources
Sometimes, the same source is used in several places on an article. Rather than list the same reference several times, duplicate sources can be grouped together like so:

This is a statement. The same reference is used again here. This is a statement. This is another statement with the same source.

Out-of-game references
TESwiki allows the addition of out-of-game references, such at the works of Michael Kirkbride, provided they clearly highlighted. Fanon should never be added.

To add such references, group the ref tag with "OOG" and add an additional ref tag at the bottom of the page like so:

All mortal life started on Tamriel.



This would appear on the page as: All mortal life started on Tamriel.
