A citation, or reference, uniquely identifies a source of information. Citations are used to identify the [[WikiIslam:Reliable Sources|reliable sources]] on which all [[WikiIslam]] articles are based. They usually appear on pages in the form of footnotes and are indicated by a superscript number in a line of text.
A citation, or reference, uniquely identifies a source of information. Citations are used to identify the [[WikiIslam:Reliable Sources|reliable sources]] on which all [[WikiIslam]] articles are based. They usually appear on pages in the form of footnotes and are indicated by a superscript number in a line of text.
==Ref Tags==
All statements of facts, especially those that are likely to be challenged, must be referenced using inline citations. A general list of references at the bottom of a page is of little use because they do not specify which particular statements they support.
===Single Citation===
An example of a reference being made on a page:
{| border="1" cellpadding="20" cellspacing="0"
| This is how to provide inline citations.<ref>This is the reference text. [http://example.com/ Links can also be provided]</ref>
''(article text)''
''(more article text)''
<big>'''References'''</big>
----
{{reflist}}
|}
Here is what has to be typed:
::<tt>This is how to provide inline citations.<nowiki><ref>This is the reference text. [http://example.com/ Links can also be provided]</ref></nowiki></tt>
At the end of an article, there should be a "References" heading and below that:
::<tt><nowiki>{{reflist}}</nowiki></tt>
The wiki will then automatically do everything else to produce the reference. To edit the reference section produced at the bottom, edit the <nowiki><ref></nowiki> tags.
===Multiple Citations===
For multiple citations of the same reference or footnote:
::<tt><nowiki><ref name="name here">details of the citation</ref></nowiki></tt>
Thereafter, the same footnote may be used multiple times by adding:
::<tt><nowiki><ref name="name here"></ref></nowiki></tt>
===Multi-Columned References===
For ease of reading, when a page includes many citations, the standard <tt><nowiki>{{reflist}}</nowiki></tt> template should be replaced by <tt><nowiki>{{Reflist|30em}}</nowiki></tt>  (for 10+ citations).

When citing references in articles, it is important not to leave naked URLs. What is being referenced should be easily identifiable without having to leave the page through an external link. For example, this link:
