Template:References/doc

This is a documentation subpage for Template:References. It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original page.

A reference list to be included in a top-level "References" section at the end of articles. The references are currently handled in a different way compared to the public Wikipedia. The references are only marked with an index in-content with template {{ref}}, and then the actual references are listed using this template, in the order of ref indices in-article (make sure the indices next to statements match the referenced content).

If referencing a web-based source, please consider using template {{cite web}} when possible.
