Template:Ref/doc

This is a documentation subpage for Template:Ref.
Don't forget to purge the contents of the base page upon creating or editing this subpage.  

Purge the base

A simple barebones "fake" reference template, to point to a == References == heading, as this wiki does not have citations wiki extension enabled.

Will display whatever text is inputed; see Titanfall engine branch and Half-Life 2: Episode Three/en for examples of intended usage.

Copy and Paste

The "References" section should be placed at the end of the page (after "See also" and/or "External links" section).

{{ref|(number)}}

== References == <ol> <li> Title and Description, link for sources here. ''Company Name'' (optional). Retrieved "Date & Time here" </ol>

Warning:A reference list will need to be created manually; avoid carelessly changing the order of references in the list, as this will change the numbering and confuse the reader!

Important:Quotes and similar notes can break the numbering in a MediaWiki list; consider using an HTML list instead.
