Shortened footnotes
Many articles use shortened citations in footnotes, giving just the author, year (or title) and the page numbers (if available--many online sources do not give page numbers). As before, the list of footnotes is automatically generated in a "Notes" or "Footnotes" section. A full citation is then added in a "References" section. The short citation and the full citation may be linked so that the reader may click on the short note to highlight the full citation (see wikilinks to full references). Short citations can be written manually, or by using the sfn or harvnb templates, though note that templates should not be added without consensus to an article that already uses a consistent referencing style.

Below is an edit-mode view of short footnotes:   The Sun is pretty big, &lt;ref> Miller 2005, p. 23.&lt;/ref>

but the Moon is not so big. &lt;ref> Brown 2006, p. 46.&lt;/ref>

The Sun is also quite hot. &lt;ref> Miller 2005, p. 34.&lt;/ref>

Shortened notes using titles rather than publication dates could look like this in the article: <blockquote style="background:white; padding:1em; border:1px solid #999;"> Notes

<li id="noteFoot01b" >^ Miller, The Sun, p. 23.</li> <li id="noteFoot02b" >^ Brown, "Size of the Moon", p. 46.</li> <li id="noteFoot03b" >^ Miller, The Sun, p. 34.</li> </ol>

For more detailed examples using shortened notes, including the use of links from the short notes to the full references, see Wikipedia:Citing sources/Example edits for different methods.
