How to cite your references on Wikipedia really, really easily

Simple references
These require two parts:


 * a)

Tom is 21 years old.

He likes tea.


 * b) A section called "References" with the special code " " after the "External links" section;

Named references
Chzz was born in 1520, in Footown.

Note that the second usage has a / (and no closing ref tag). This needs a reference section as above.

Citation templates
You can put anything you like between including [www.website.com], but using citation templates makes for a neat, consistent look;

Tom has 3,700 Olympic medals.
