{| align="right" | multiple lines of code | each starting with a pipe symbol |}

Page order / syntax

The preferred order is:

• See also
• Notes
• References (or combined with Notes into Notes and references)
• Bibliography (or Books or Further reading)
• External links
• Other cats
• 2 blank lines if possible (I think this is still the case)
• Stubs
• 1 blank line
• Interwikis

Indent code

: Indent code -- :: is double indent

Supscripts and Subscripts

A ulr followed by a pipe and a number results in ¹

this is the code: ^{[[User:Dbiel|1]]}

test₂ results in test₂

Substitute code - use with templates

To include the text of a template rather than a link to it use {{subst:Template Name}}

References - footnotes

Footnotes:

1. Place a <ref> ... </ref> where you want a footnote reference number to appear in an article—type the text of the note between the ref tags.
2. Place the <references/> tag in a "Notes" or "References" section near the end of the article—the list of notes will be generated here.

To use the same footnote more than once:

The first time you use the reference, put <ref name="blah"> ... </ref>

Later, you can just put <ref name="blah" />

See University of Vermont for usage difference between embeded links and references An embedded link looks like[1] syntax= [http://someulr]

Use of notes and references
