I have corrected your edit to. Please note that when adding the fact tag that the month needs to be spelled out completely. Your edit was        it should have been          Using Sept adds the article to the non-existant category Category:Articles with unsourced statements since Sept 2008 instead of the correct category Category:Articles with unsourced statements since September 2008.

Supscripts and Subscripts
A ulr followed by a pipe and a number results in 1
 * this is the code: 1

test2 results in test2

Substitute code - use with templates
To include the text of a template rather than a link to it use

References - footnotes

 * Referencing for beginners

Footnotes:
 * 1) Place a &lt;ref> ... &lt;/ref> where you want a footnote reference number to appear in an article—type the text of the note between the ref tags.
 * 2) Place the    tag in a "Notes" or "References" section near the end of the article—the list of notes will be generated here.

To use the same footnote more than once:
 * The first time you use the reference, put
 * Later, you can just put

See University of Vermont for usage difference between embeded links and references An embedded link looks like syntax=
