== Creating a footnote ==
First, go to the spot you wish the reference to appear in the article. Put this in:
<pre><nowiki><ref name="UNIQUE-IDENTIFYING-NAME">[http://www.URL-OF-SOURCE] BRIEF-DESCRIPTION-OF-CONTENT-FOUND-AT-SOURCE</ref></nowiki></pre>
Then check to see if the following appears at the bottom of the page.  If it does not, then add it. This allows the references in the article to have a place to display.
<pre><nowiki>===Footnotes===
<references/></nowiki></pre>
