User:Major Bloodnok

My name is Ben. When I joined WP in 2006, I decided to take as a pseudonym the name of a character from The Goon Show. This was mainly to preserve my anonymity so that students I teach couldn't Wikistalk me even if they wished to. I have now decided to put my name down here should anyone care about these sort of things.

I have a sub-page which will link to any projects I'm working on:

Useful Wikimarkup:

Shortened footnote: sfn or harvnb

 * See also: 

Template harvnb inside a span can be used to create an author-date citation in footnote that is linked to the full citation at the bottom of the article. Templatesfn has the same effect and it also combines identical footnotes automatically.

{| class="wikitable" ! width=400 | Markup !! width = 300 | Result More article text. Still more article text.
 * Article text.
 * Article text.

Using the shortened footnote template
Template Sfn links to Citation automatically, and links to cite book, cite web, cite news, cite journal, if ref is set to "harv". Sfn also combines identical footnotes automatically, so footnote names are not necessary. The method was introduced much more recently than harvnb.   The Sun is pretty big, ''' but the Moon is not so big. '''  The Sun is also quite hot. '''   &#61;= Notes == &#61;= References == *. *
