Here's the simplest example of a reference being made on a page:

Here's what has to be typed:

I'm about to give a reference.<ref>This is the Reference text at the bottom. [http://links.sourceforge.net/ Links can also made here.]</ref>

Then at the end of the article, give a heading ("References" or "Notes") and below that, write:

<references/>

Thats all you need to do. The wiki will automatically do everything else for you to make the reference. To edit the reference section produced at the bottom, edit the <ref> tags.

Give it a try in the WikiIslam:Sandbox. If you want to make other kinds of references using this method, see the related WikiMedia page.

[edit] Islamic References

Please see the main article Wiki-Islam Standardization for instructions on how to make Islamic references.

On this website you can make different kinds of Islamic references to Quran and Hadiths. Templates make it easy for you to make these kinds of references. For example, instead of having to find the exact URL of the verse or hadith you want to refer to, all you need to do is type simple text like {{Muslim|7|88}} and then reference link leading the hadith website will automatically be made for you. Notice the leading zeros that would be included to make the correct link. The following are the templates that are available for you to use:
