Um, can someone give me a guide to using the ref tags (<ref> </ref> {{citations}})? I still don't know how to use them and what are the "ref name"s??  Clarent Caliburn  20:17, October 29, 2011 (UTC)

		You just type the reference between the ref tags (for example a website link) and then {{citations}} lists the references in order of where they appear on the article. For example:- Sephiroth is Cloud's enemy Aeris redirects to Aerith Reference list: and there you have it.

Thanks, so what's the <ref name> and </references> thing?  Clarent Caliburn  00:22, October 30, 2011 (UTC)

Dunno about </references> but ref name is used when a reference is used more than once on a page; e.g. A third reference could be Sephiroth is a one-winged angel<ref name="seph">. Now, because I've made the ref name of "Sephiroth is Cloud's enemy" "seph" and the OWA ref name "seph" they go to the same place, and I only had to type the name of Sephiroth's page once.

"<references/>" and "{{citations}}" are interchangeable. However, since we have a specially designed template, we should use {{Reflist}}. 79.69.194.88 23:00, October 30, 2011 (UTC)

Thankyou all for the information! Clarent Caliburn  03:04, October 31, 2011 (UTC)
