Reference information is always placed between an opening and a closing reference tag, like in the following example:
<prenowiki><ref>This is a reference information.</ref></prenowiki>
When you put this reference behind a text, the Wiki engine will create a footnote number at the relevant place and add a numbered footnote to the References section at the very end of the article, like done here.<ref>This is a reference information.</ref>
You can use any complex portion of text for a reference. Please keep in mind that it will be converted into an article footnote, so you better keep reference texts as short as possible. The following code sample shows how to use a simple external link in a reference:
<prenowiki><ref>[http://www.facebook.com Facebook link to the information]</refnowiki>
The external link is always written in single square brackets, with the URL followed by a space character and the URL description or title.<ref>[http://www.facebook.com Facebook link to the information]</ref>
{{DefaultTemplates}}
Templates can use parameters, and the more parameters, the more you may want to use a vertical notation for a reference. The listed templates try to offer copyable template code in both vertial and horizontal notation. The formatting results are the same. Here is a REFweb example:
=== Horizontal notation ===
<nowiki><ref>{{REFweb |url=http://www.example.org |title=My Favorite Things, Part II |last=Doe |first=John |publisher=Open Publishing |website=Encyclopedia of Things |work=Huge work |date=2018-12-24 |accessdate=2019-09-20 |quote=... Lord Balfour came forward with a unique concern: 'Supposing some unfortunate lady was confined with twins ...}}</ref></nowiki>
