BattleTechWiki:Inline citation/Draft/examples

This page contains examples of various types of inline citations. Variations on all of the examples included here exist throughout BattleTechWiki.

Full citations in footnotes

Many articles use "<Ref> tags" to remove inline citations to an endmatter section. Citations which are referenced multiple times may be collapsed. The text is expanded in the document where a "<References />" tag or a {{reflist}} template appears. This citation style is sometimes termed "Shortened notes".

Parenthetical style references in footnotes

Parenthetical-style references are often placed in footnotes. This example uses the {{Reflist}} template instead of the <References /> tag, and uses the {{refbegin}} along with {{refend}} templates to similarly format full citations placed after the numbered footnotes.
