Help:References

From Destinypedia, the Destiny wiki

One of the most common complaints about any wiki is that the information lacks authority/sources that verifies the content as legitimate. As such, this page attempts to address the issue: the following are guidelines on how to reference information added to the wiki.

Basic concept

Reference tags

When citing information, simply include the HTML <ref></ref> code at the end of the sentence. The basic concept of the <ref> tag is that it inserts the text enclosed by the ref tags as a footnote in a designated section, which you indicate with the this tag <references/>.

If you don't include <references/> at the end of the article, none of the footnotes will appear.

This page itself uses footnotes, such as the one at the end of this sentence.[1] If you view the wikicode of this page by clicking "Edit", you can see a working example of footnotes.

  • According to scientists, the Sun is pretty big.[2]
  • The Moon, however, is not so big.[3]

Multiple uses of the same footnote

To give a footnote a unique identifier, use <ref name="name"/>. You can then refer to the same footnote again by using a ref tag with the same name. The text inside the second tag doesn't matter, because the text already exists in the first reference. You can either copy the whole footnote, or you can use a terminated empty ref tag that looks like this: <ref name="name"/>.

In the following example, the same source is cited three times.

This is an example of multiple references to the same footnote.[4]

Such references are particularly useful when citing sources, if different statements come from the same source.[4]This text is superfluous, and won't show up anywhere. We may as well just use an empty tag.</ref>

A concise way to make multiple references is to use empty ref tags, which have a slash at the end. Although this may reduce redundant work, please be aware that if a future editor removes the first reference, this will result in the loss of all references using the empty ref tags.[4]

Format

In order to differentiate to improve citation methods, it is recommended that editors use the following format when citing a source for an article.

Published media

Here, published media refers to literature, i.e. novels, graphic books, magazines, but also includes but not limited to animation, films.[note 1][note 2] For those that have been reissued/republished, i.e. updated with new information or less mistakes, and is in conflict with the previous published media, use the second format under this section.

Default format

'''Title of media''', "chapter/section" (if needed), ''page number'' (''"Quote"'' (if needed))

Reissued/republished media

'''Title of media''', "chapter/section" (if needed), ''page number''; '''Date of new publish''', ''page number'' (''"Quote"'' (if needed))

Web content

Web content in this section refers generally news articles, i.e. IGN articles and Bungie Weekly Update. Also included in this section are video documentaries, trailers and YouTube videos. The citation format would be as so:

'''Title''': ''Title of article'' (''"Quote"'' (optional))
