Heading text

 * switch to source editing, and find the reference you want to use again.
 * After the word ref make a gap and add the word name along witn an = sign.
 * So that it looks like this ref name=.
 * After the equals sign, give the reference a name (preferably related to the subject) in quotation marks, along with a gap and a / symbol after the reference name, for example:
 * ref name="Football" /
 * Then all you have to do is copy all the stuff between the...
 * < and the...
 * > symbols...
 * In my example "all the stuff" is ref name="Football" /
 * Then paste it next to the information you want to reference.
 * So it will look like this...
 * "Football" as the name for a reference used more than once, then one instance (conventionally but not necessarily the first) should be, and each of the others should be the much simpler  . (Incidentally, the name "Football" will only be visible to people editing the article.) The full-details instance may use one of the "cite" templates (e.g. Template:Cite web), but it doesn't have to do so.
