 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.
