What is a Citation?[]
A citation is a link, reference, or screenshot that somehow supports a statement as face, proves it is true, or at least makes it more credible. If you know of a citation, you should use it, but they generally are only needed if someone requests them.
- Special tags used for citations/references
These tags create reference links (like [1]) and lists of references.
<ref>reference</ref>- Wikipedia has many templates that use these tags.<reference>- Most people use{{reflist}}instead (see below).
