==References & Citations==
 +
*References are a little more complicated. All reference consist of a citation and an actual reference.  The citation is a tag that contains a shorthand form of the reference, and is followed, on first use in an article, by the completed reference.
 +
*To create a reference:
 +
**First citation in article:
 +
***<nowiki><ref name=Whitehurst_1986>Whitehurst, C., 1986, The birth of a genius: AAPG Memoir 42, 27 p.</ref></nowiki> becomes <ref name=Whitehurst_1986>Whitehurst, C., 1986, The birth of rock: AAPG Memoir 42, 27 p.</ref>
 +
**Subsequent citations:
 +
***<nowiki><ref name=Whitehurst_1986 /></nowiki> which will automatically create a footnote marker that will link to the original reference: <ref name=Whitehurst_1986 />
 +
 +
If there aren’t any references in the page, you need to create a template for a reference list:
 +
 +
<nowiki>==References==
 +
{{reflist}}</nowiki>
    
==References==
 
==References==
 +
{{reflist}}
