* '''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.

** Put <code><nowiki><ref>The contents of the note</ref></nowiki></code> 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.)

*** Place <code><<nowiki />references /></code> 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.

** If you want to cite the same reference multiple times, give it a name e.g. <code><nowiki><ref name="Bob et al.">The contents of the note</ref></nowiki></code> 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.

*** Then every subsequent time you can just use <code><<nowiki />ref name="Bob et al." /></code> without all the rest.
