The MediaWiki '''Cite''' extension has been installed to make it easy to manage footnotes.

==Example==

The following snippet illustrates how the <nowiki><ref></nowiki> tag is used to define footnotes, and how the <nowiki><references></nowiki> tag produces the footnotes. 
<pre>
 According to scientists, the Sun is pretty big.<ref>Miller, E: "The Sun.", page 23. Academic Press, 2005</ref>
 The Moon, however, is not so big.<ref>Smith, R: "Size of the Moon", Scientific American, 46(78):46</ref>

 ==Notes==
 <references/>
</pre>

The above snippet produces:

{{code|
According to scientists, the Sun is pretty big.<ref>Miller, E: "The Sun.", page 23. Academic Press, 2005</ref>
The Moon, however, is not so big.<ref>Smith, R: "Size of the Moon", Scientific American, 46(78):46</ref>

==Notes==
<references/>
}}

==Reusing the same footnote==

To reuse a footnote, simply give it a unique name, e.g. <nowiki><ref name="uniqueIdentifier"></nowiki>. You can then refer to this footnote subsequently by writing <nowiki><ref name="uniqueIdentifier" /></nowiki>.

==Note==

The <nowiki><references/></nowiki> tag can be placed anywhere on a page. More than one such tag may be used. The effect is to cause all pending footnotes defined by previous <nowiki><ref></nowiki> tags to be generated at that location.
