Reference tag

A reference tag is something rarely seen at Hampedia: Its how we, in the academic world, keep ourselves from constantly yelling "BULLSHIT!" at each other. Please use this tag often. It makes for responsible articles.

This:

WASH: "Psychic, though? That sounds like something out of science fiction." ZOE: "We live in a space ship, dear."

in wiki code looks like: WASH: "Psychic, though? That sounds like something out of science fiction." ZOE: "We live in a space ship, dear."&lt;ref&gt;Joss Whedon, Firefly 2002-2003, "Objects in Space"&lt;/ref&gt; which with the addition of the &lt;references/&gt; tag creates this little thingy:

you can also make more than one reference to the same source as in:

WASH: "Psychic, though? That sounds like something out of science fiction." ZOE: "We live in a space ship, dear."

or in code: WASH: "Psychic, though? That sounds like something out of science fiction."&lt;ref name="firefly"&gt;Joss Whedon, Firefly 2002-2003, "Objects in Space"&lt;/ref&gt; ZOE: "We live in a space ship, dear."&lt;ref name="firefly"/&gt; Notice the name="" attribute - it tells Hampedia that you are going to reuse the source by the name you specify, i.e.: &lt;ref name="nameOfSourceYouWillReuse"&gt;sourceYouAreCitingGoesHere&lt;/ref&gt; &lt;ref name="nameOfSourceYouWillReuse" /&gt;

does exactly what

&lt;ref&gt;sourceYouAreCitingGoesHere&lt;/ref&gt; &lt;ref&gt;sourceYouAreCitingGoesHere&lt;/ref&gt;

would do, only usually its more convenient, and you won't end up creating two of the same source.
