Well, to use inline references (Cite.php), you basically enclose the citation in tags after the piece of text you are referencing, and put on the bottom of the page in a section entitled "References" (or possibly "Citations"). See imdb for citing the IMDB. For example, produces: (Click on the little number to see the reference at the bottom of this AfD). By using the name attribute, I can use a reference multiple times, while only having to type out the whole thing once, and only having it appear once on the bottom of the page. For citation after the first one, I simply type. Wikia does not actually meet WP:RS, being not only another wiki, but part of our very own Wikimedia foundation, thus constituting a self-reference. (You can of course link to Wikia, just not as a reference.)
 * Other templates you can use in between the ref tags (or outside them) are cite visual, cite episode, and cite web . (Also see Category:Citation templates.) You can, of course, construct your own citations by hand. (If you want to see the text for the later examples, just look at the wiki source for this page.) I hope that helps, but please feel free to ask me for more help on my talk page at any time. Armedblowfish (talk|mail|contribs)
