Superscripted references?
I notice that many articles have superscripted numbers for references. How do I get links to appear superscripted like that? Wildcat2011 (talk) 00:58, 27 January 2008 (UTC)
 * See Citations. The way I usually do it is I put the reference in between ref tags at the place where I want the superscript, then have a references section that just says   to the end of the URL. The printable version will print links as well, but they won't be colored blue. Of course, you won't need to click on them when they're on paper, anyway.

 * If you're using the default Monobook skin, it's not necessary to use the "printable version" link for printing, see Help:Printable. As far as I know the only reason this link exists is that if it didn't, people would be asking for it all the time, not realising printing just works. --Dapeteばか 12:31, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
