Help:Referencing
 | This is a EndMyopia Wiki help page. |
 | This page in a nutshell: Referencing can be done at the click of a few buttons and makes the wiki look thorough and well thought-out. |
Referencing
<ref></ref> tags are what makes the text you type turn into the cool [1] icon. The text you're typing between those tags often uses a template, such as Template:Cite jake to autocomplete some text for you.

Referencing anything EXCEPT scientific articles with ProveIt

You will feel like a scholar in no time using this
