A citation, or reference, uniquely identifies a source of information. Citations are used to identify the [[WikiIslam:Reliable Sources|reliable sources]] on which all [[WikiIslam]] articles are based. They usually appear on pages in the form of footnotes and are indicated by a superscript number in a line of text.
A citation, or reference, uniquely identifies a source of information. Citations are used to identify the [[WikiIslam:Reliable Sources|reliable sources]] on which all [[WikiIslam]] articles are based. They usually appear on pages in the form of footnotes and are indicated by a superscript number in a line of text.
==Ref Tags==
All statements of facts, especially those that are likely to be challenged, must be referenced using inline citations. A general list of references at the bottom of a page is of little use because they do not specify which particular statements they support.
===Single Citation===
An example of a reference being made on a page:
{| border="1" cellpadding="20" cellspacing="0"
| This is how to provide inline citations.<ref>This is the reference text. [http://example.com/ Links can also be provided]</ref>
''(article text)''
''(more article text)''
<big>'''References'''</big>
----
{{reflist}}
|}
Here is what has to be typed:
::<tt>This is how to provide inline citations.<nowiki><ref>This is the reference text. [http://example.com/ Links can also be provided]</ref></nowiki></tt>
At the end of an article, there should be a "References" heading and below that:
::<tt><nowiki>{{reflist}}</nowiki></tt>
The wiki will then automatically do everything else to produce the reference. To edit the reference section produced at the bottom, edit the <nowiki><ref></nowiki> tags.
===Multiple Citations===
For multiple citations of the same reference or footnote:
::<tt><nowiki><ref name="name here">details of the citation</ref></nowiki></tt>
Thereafter, the same footnote may be used multiple times by adding:
::<tt><nowiki><ref name="name here"></ref></nowiki></tt>
===Multi-Columned References===
For ease of reading, when a page includes many citations, the standard <tt><nowiki>{{reflist}}</nowiki></tt> template should be replaced by <tt><nowiki>{{Reflist|30em}}</nowiki></tt>  (for 10+ citations).
