Template:Wikicite/doc

wikicite makes a simple reference, for use in a "References" section for books, journals, web references, etc. The reference text is formatted manually, and the template merely adds an anchor for linking from in-text citations, and wraps everything in an HTML &lt;cite> element.

The "id" is a unique identifier used for the reference link on the page, compatible with some other reference templates (100% compatible with wikiref, if you use the format Author-2006; use an underscore for a space: Von_Autor-2006). The "reference" is the full text of a reference, including links. The reference is formatted through editing wikitext. Recommended format:
