Putting a Bibliography on a Page

  1. Near the end of the page, you should create a Notes section.
  2. In the Notes section, you will use the <references>...</references> tag.
  3. Within the

Cite error: <ref> tag defined in <references> has no name attribute. </nowiki>

Adding a new Source

  1. Create a page in the Source: namespace. Give it a name which is not too long, but descriptive enough of author and title. For example, Walter F. Walton's The South Pennsylvania Railroad is the only text by him we have as a source, so we named the page Source:Walton SPRR.
  2. In that page, put the text you wish to appear in a references list: the bibliography citation.

Sources Currently Set Up

Remember to put the prefix Source: in front of each of these names if using them in your page.
