సహాయం:వికీ మార్కప్‌తో మూలాలివ్వడం గురించి పరిచయం/2: కూర్పుల మధ్య తేడాలు

If you've read many Wikipedia articles, then you've seen plenty of inline citations. These are usually small numbered footnotes like this,.<ref>{{cite book|last=Wales|first=J|title=What is an inline citation?|year=2012|publisher=Wikipublisher|pages=6}}</ref> although [[Wikipedia:Inline citations|other styles]] are sometimes used. They are generally added either directly following the fact they support, or at the end of the sentence they support, following any punctuation. When clicked, they take the reader to a full source in a reference section of the article.

:''Note: This is by far the most popular system for inline citations, but sometimes you will find [[Wikipedia:Inline citations|other formsstyles]] being used in an article, such as references in parentheses. As a general rule, the first major contributor to an article gets to [[WP:CITEVAR|choose the referencing system]] used there. If an article uses a different system than the one you're used to, just copy an existing reference when adding any new reference, then modify it appropriately; don't mix styles.''
