Using a reference once
Use the code below and replace "RefSource" by the actual source.

Using a reference twice or more
Use the code below and replace "RefSource" by the actual source and replace "RefCode" by a short code for the source. This code is used for internal purposes only and not shown when viewing the article. (Advice: use the name of the author/publisher and the year/date of the publication, like: .)

The first time you use a source as reference you use:

The second time you use the same source as reference you only use:

Using a book/paper/etc multiple times, but with referring to different pages
If you use a source with multiple pages (book/paper/etc), and you refer multiple times to it, but multiple times with referring to a different page of the publication, you add the publication itself under a header "Literature", and in the references you use the author name and year (or date) of the publication.

In the example below the page 101 reference is used for multiple sections, and uses the system described in the previous section.

Text bla bla.

Text bleh bleh.

Text blub blub.
