and vetting this help page is an overview and gives concise examples of several systems please refer to the linked main articles for details for a more general introduction see help introduction to referencing or help referencing for beginners with citation templates wikipedia uses various referencing systems to cite sources that support assertions in the article and to add explanatory and supplementary material this page compares two systems that are currently used footnotes and shortened footnotes and two older systems that are deprecated and no longer used for new articles footnote3 and parenthetical referencing contents 1 systems currently used 1 1 footnotes 1 2 shortened footnotes 2 older deprecated systems 2 1 footnote3 2 2 parenthetical referencing 3 see also 4 notes systems currently used edit footnotes edit main page help footnotes wikipedia footnotes are a specific method of creating in text cites and reference lists using the cite software extension this should not be confused with the concept of footnotes in general the in text cite is placed in the content usually after punctuation and is created by enclosing the citation or note within ref ref tags each in text cite is formatted as a superscripted alphanumeric character called the cite label and is enclosed by brackets example 1 the cite label has an html link to the full citation in the reference list in text cites are automatically ordered by the cite label starting from the first use on a page the cite labels default to decimal but can be styled as alphabetic roman or greek the in text cite may be defined with a name so they can be reused within the content and may be separated into groups for use as explanatory notes table legends and the like the reference list shows the full citations with a cite label that matches the in text cite the cite label is a caret with a backlink to the in text cite when a named in text cite is invoked multiple times multiple alphabetic back links are created after the cite label in the reference list the reference list is created by use of the references tag or the reflist template example markup renders as this is an in text cite ref citation ref references references this is an in text cite 1 references citation shortened footnotes edit main page help shortened footnotes in this short example note that an in text cite such as 1 links to the shortened citation in the notes list which in turn links to the long citation in the references list markup renders as the brontosaurus is thin at one end sfn elk 1972 p 5 then it becomes much thicker in the middle sfn elk 1972 p 6 the norwegian blue parrot will not move if its feet are nailed to the perch sfn praline 1969 p 12 its metabolic processes are a matter of interest only to historians sfn

brontosauruses praline eric december 7 1969 dead parrot sketch older deprecated systems edit footnote3 edit main page wikipedia footnote3 footnote3 is a deprecated method of referencing new articles should not be created with it although it appears similar to the footnotes system it uses the ref and note templates markup renders as according to scientists the sun is pretty big ref 1 the moon however is not so big ref 2 notes note 1 miller e the sun page 23 academic press 2005 note 2 smith r size of the moon scientific american 46 78 46 according to scientists the sun is pretty big 1 the moon however is not so big 2 notes miller e the sun page 23 academic press 2005 smith r size of the moon scientific american 46 78 46 comparison of footnote3 and cite php footnote footnote3 cite php use deprecated for standard footnotes 1 standard 2 number style user applied free style can use numbers alpha greek etc automatic with several styles 3 reference list order manual automatic nesting can nest ref ref and other templates nesting with limitations 4 reuse yes but creates duplicate html ids 5 yes unique html ids 6 error checking no 7 yes 8 markup fairly terse can be a bit long especially when using groups preview testing clicking on a ref link while previewing an edit will cause the page to reload and changes to be lost no issues parenthetical referencing edit main page wikipedia parenthetical referencing parenthetical referencing is a citation system in which citations are added within sentences using brackets parentheses an example would be paris is the capital of france smith 2020 p 1 full citations are collected in footnotes or endnotes or in alphabetical order by author s last name under a references bibliography or works cited heading at the end of the text this style of citation was a type of referencing used on wikipedia until september 2020 when a community discussion reached a consensus to deprecate this format of citation while some existing articles may still use this form of citation new articles should not be created with it see also edit help references and page numbers notes edit see wikipedia footnote3 see help footnotes see help shortened footnotes see wp refnest ref creates an html id for the backlink when using ref multiple times the id is the same per the html spec ids must be unique thus reuse causes validation errors in the articles where the template is transcluded backlinks from the reference list to the inline cite are ambiguous firefox and internet explorer backlink only to the first inline cite opera backlinks to the last example see the use of the dagger symbol in list of baryons and the w3c validation the html id for the dagger is ref_undiscovered a large number of reuses of a cite will result in a long sequence of backlinks that are unwieldy and useless see t25455 it is possible to define a note without a matching ref or vice versa example governor of new york invokes ref but never defines the
