IntactiWiki articles must be written in a descriptive style like in the Wikipedia, based on reliable information from outside the IntactiWiki. Those references should always be linked to the portion of text where they belong.
== Basic references ==
Reference information is always placed between an opening and a closing reference tag, like in the following example:
<pre><ref>This is a reference information.</ref></pre>
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>
== References using links ==
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:
<pre><ref>[http://www.facebook.com Facebook link to the information]</ref>
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>
== References using templates ==
Very often, you will use information from books, documents, journals, websites, etc. Therefore, the IntactiWiki offers a range of templates which can be used for creating properly formatted references. Here is a list of frequently used templates:
{{DefaultTemplates}}
{{REF}}
