*Reference format: this one may actually be the area that involves the most discussion, as preferred methods may differ.

For the recent articles I've been working on, I use the following format:
:::source name (wikilinked & italicized), page number, section title. :::source name (wikilinked & italicized), page number, section title.
− :::ex: ''[[The Fall of Terra]]'', pp 7, "Gathering Storm". + :::ex: ''[[The Fall of Terra (scenariobook)]]'', pp 7, "Gathering Storm".
Unlike other more literary sites, we generally have good documentation on publisher, date of printing, etc., on the source article to which the ref is linked. So, I propose just identifying the source material, give the page name and where on the page it can be found. A minimalist approach, I believe. If a section (in the source material) spans multiple pages, then give the range of pages (ex: pp 7-10). I believe this approach gives more than just the exact passage needed; it also provides the context from which the article is derived.--[[User:Revanche|Revanche]] <sup>([[User_talk:Revanche|talk]]|[[Special:Contributions/Revanche|contribs]])</sup> 14:12, 26 August 2008 (CDT) Unlike other more literary sites, we generally have good documentation on publisher, date of printing, etc., on the source article to which the ref is linked.
