Ligulem has been updating references

Edit summary: Hard-coded fontsize → CSS class "references-small" (per MoS))

from <div style="font-size: 90%"> to + <div class="references-small">

(Henge is not sure what this means but is interested.)

Note: Many of today's style guides forbid or deprecate footnotes and reference endnotes when used simply to cite sources ^[1]. The APA style does not use footnotes to cite sources. The MLA style manual has deprecated reference footnotes and reference endnotes for decades in favor of in-line bibliographic references.

meta:Cite/Cite.php

also referred to as MediaWiki Footnotes.

Uses multiple inline <ref>text of note</ref> in combination with a single <references/> under either a ==References== or ==Notes==heading.

Henge is confused about this. Should you have a ==Notes and references== section when both are used?

There are templates you can insert between the <ref> and </ref> tags to format bibliographic references for you.

Tread lightly, and seek consensus first, before converting citation styles. For example, when using (semi-)bot tools as listed below:

• User:Cyde/Ref converter converts articles that use the {{ref}} and {{note}} system into the more recent m:Cite.php system;
• Citation Tool diagnoses and fixes sequencing and duplication errors in m:Cite.php references. In the future, Citation Tool may (optionally) enable user-guided conversion of some or all of the <ref> numbered citations to named notes using the footnote3 template technology (which includes Harvard references).

In the references section, it is possible to add the following:

<!--See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Footnotes for an explanation of how to generate footnotes using the <ref(erences/)> tags-->
<references/>

Template:Cite_web

{{cite web|last= |first= |authorlink= |coauthors= | date= |url= |title= |format= |work= |pages= |publisher= | language= |accessdate= |accessyear= |url= }}

Others (from Citations of generic sources) are Template:Cite_book, Template:Cite_paper, Template:Cite_journal, Template:Cite_conference, Template:Cite_news, Template:Cite_encyclopedia, and Template:Cite_press_release

Keep an eye on this beta meta:bibliography php.
