My version of a help page (cf Wikipedia:Footnotes) in my sandbox: WP:Cite:Ref - the wikipedia Reference-Footnote system.

Previous Wikipedia:Footnote3

[edit]
  • {{ref|xxx}} for reference, where xxx is some short name for the citation.
    • Under '==References==' place {{note|xxx}}
  • If the same source has to be used several times, the additional references have to identify the footnote number and a label with which to identify the backlink (usually a letter "a" through "z").
    • {{ref|xxx}} & then {{ref_label|xxx|1|a}} for the first and subsequent additional reference links - In this case, "1" is the number in the References section and "a" is the backlink label.
    • {{note|xxx}} & then {{note_label|xxx|1|a}} for the first and subsequent additional reference links.
