→Unanswered questions: I agree that Sevish is a brilliant composer, however wiki pages are supposed to have a neutral tone, and that statement is very opinionated (even though I do agree with it), so a wiki page is not the right place for it. A very good place for a statement like that is your user page. See https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:User_pages for more information on how user pages work. User pages do not have to be neutral in tone, so you can write stuff like that there

Technical question and answer about ref tags: something I got stuck on in the past so thought others may too
Line 26: Line 26:


* '''[[Temperament naming|I discovered a new temperament, how should I name it?]]'''
* '''[[Temperament naming|I discovered a new temperament, how should I name it?]]'''
* '''How can I add an inline citation or note?'''
** Use<nowiki> “<ref>The contents of the note</ref>” </nowiki>at the place you want the little superscript number to appear.
*** Use<nowiki> “< /references>” </nowiki>at the place you want the list of references to appear. (If you do not specify this, it will default to the very bottom of the page.)
** If you want to cite the same reference multiple times, give it a name e.g.<nowiki> “<ref name="Bob et al.">The contents of the note</ref>” </nowiki>the first time you use it.
*** Then every subsequent time you can just use<nowiki> <ref name="Bob et al." /> </nowiki>without all the rest.
