<ref>
</pre>...and the Wiki will automatically assign the next number in a sequence of references on that page. Since this is my first reference, it is labeled as "<sup>1</sup>". My next reference will be "<sup>2</sup>", and so forth. The Wiki will also automatically adjust all the numbering if you go back and place a reference before another one already published.
 
 
As soon as I create even a single reference, I should establish the Notes and References section. To do that, I go to the end of the page and use this markup:<pre>
== Notes and References ==
<references />
</pre>Once this is established, the Wiki will automatically place all reference information in this section. Handy!<br>

Notice that that last sentence uses the same citation as the first. I did that by naming the reference. The FIRST time I use the reference, I do this:

And the second time I use the reference, I just type this:
