Here you find some links to information about editing pages on this site.
Trying to discover how References are made
- Making the References section Templates for this. I think this template needs working on the Wiki software. "This template encapsulates the tag to show the list of references defined by [1] tags, with some formatting. It reduces the font size and has options for columns and groups. References can be defined within the body of the article or within the reference list. The [2] and
tags are part of the Cite.php MediaWiki extension."
- There's also still this Help:Link page that explains about making links. --John Eagles 02:18, 29 December 2011 (PST)
