[edit] Templates

There are templates which can help add references to databases (which can help satisfy WP:V) (and note that IMDB allows to link to characters) so using the example from Hulk (comics)#References:

== References ==
{{refbegin}}
* {{comicbookdb|type=character|id=397|title=Hulk}}
* {{gcdb|type=character|search=Hulk|title=Hulk}}
* {{imdb character|0007099|Hulk}}
{{refend}}

For the order and naming of the sections at the end of an article, see: WP:LAYOUT#Standard appendices and descriptions.
