References that appear at the bottom of the page can be added kumu[1] wiki articles via the Cite [2] extension and the associated syntax outlined below. This extension is found on all kumu wikis[1].

How to add a footnoted reference

There are two steps to adding footnote-style references to wiki articles:

Step 1

Beside where you would like to cite add the reference link include the tags <ref> </ref>. Contained withing the <ref> </ref> should be the actual reference as you would like it to appear at the bottom of the page.

Step 2

At the bottom of the page (or elsewhere on the page) add the tag <references/>. Standard practise is to all add the heading "Notes and References" above it, ie:

==Notes and References==
 <references/>.

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 twice. Wikis can handle most of referencing <ref name="references">References. (2008, January 22). Help With Kumu Wiki Server, . Retrieved 17:01, January 22, 2008 from https://kumu.brocku.ca/help/index.php?title=References&oldid=58.</ref> for you. The reference extension<ref name="references" /> used on the kumu is the same one Wikipedia uses.
