Author-Date Referencing[edit]

Author-date referencing (Ritter 2002) is also known as the Harvard system (Ritter 2002:18) or parenthetical system (Ritter 2002:134). See also Wikipedia:Footnote3 templates.

Reference List[edit]

Footnote Format A[edit]

A.k.a. Cite.php system. Please see footnotes.^[1]^[2] Footnotes may be given unique identifiers,^[3] and in this way they may be used more than once in the text,^[3] again and again.^[3]

Footnotes[edit]

^ This is the footnote 1.
^ This is the footnote 2.
^ ^a ^b ^c Like this one. The tag is invisible.

Footnote Format B[edit]

Uses Template:Reflist to create a reference list in small font^[1] for an article.^[2]

Footnotes[edit]

^ I.e., reduced at 90%.
^ This is the footnote 2.

General reference 1
General reference 2

Footnote Format B with multiple columns[edit]

Please see footnotes.^[1]^[2]^[3]^[4]^[5]^[6]

Footnotes[edit]

^ This is the footnote 1.
^ This is the footnote 2.
^ This is the footnote 3.
^ This is the footnote 4.
^ This is the footnote 5.
^ This is the footnote 6.

Simple Ref/Note System[edit]

Use of simple ref/note tags: each ref tag in the text is matched to a note tag in the footnotes.^{label 1} Unique invisible names^{label 2} are used to create a clickable link to a matching note^{label 3} template placed at the footnote locations.^[2] It is possible to concatenate several different references^a to the same note...^b

See Wikipedia:Footnote3.

Notes[edit]

^what label? Text of footnote 1. Invisible tags make the link between ref and note, but the optional visible labels can be changed.
^label 3 Text of footnote 3. The order of the notes are entered manually and can be changed or sorted.
^label 2 Text of footnote 2.
^ Text of footnote 4. When optional labels are omitted, this is how the note looks like.
^a ^b ... in this way.

Complex Ref/Note System[edit]

Use of complex ref/note tags: requires three parameters: reference name, number (or label), and id. Each ref tag in the text is matched to a note tag in the footnotes.^[11] Unique combinations of parameters reference name+id ^[22] are used to create a clickable link to a matching note^[33] template placed at the footnote locations.^[] It is possible to concatenate several different references^{[Smith 2000:55]} to the same note.^{[Smith 2000:66]}

Notes[edit]

^aaa Text of footnote 11.
^ccc Text of footnote 33. The order of the notes are also entered manually and can be changed or sorted.
^bbb Text of footnote 22.
^ddd Text of footnote 44. When number is omitted, this is how the note looks like.

Content Footnotes[edit]

Content footnotes are used primarily for comments on the text,^[click] in contrast with source notes. The Template:Cref marks the point in the text where the footnote is inserted.

Notes[edit]

Ideally, the "Notes" section should immediately precede the "References" section, if both are kept separate. Alternatively, rename the section as "Notes and References".

^ click: Content footnotes are used primarily for comments on the text, in contrast with source notes.
^ hover: Content footnotes are used primarily for comments on the text, in contrast with source notes.
