Many of our sources are links to external websites so the preservation of the sources is important.
Many of our sources are links to external websites so the preservation of the sources is important.
Also when citing references, it is important not to leave naked URLs. This is due to the nature of the Internet. Once a link becomes "broken" and is no longer available to view, it is essential that we have a record of what that link was referencing. For example, this link:
::<tt>http://www.jpost.com/HealthAndSci-Tech/Health/Article.aspx?id=184112 </tt>
Should be referenced like this:
::<tt>Judy Siegel-Itzkovich - [http://www.jpost.com/HealthAndSci-Tech/Health/Article.aspx?id=184112 Beduin doctor: Migraines common during Ramadan fast] - The Jerusalem Post, August 9, 2010</tt>
Give it a try in the [[WikiIslam:Sandbox]]. If you want to make other kinds of references using this method, see the related [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Footnotes WikiMedia] page.
