How to add footnotes
Footnotes can be added inline to the body of your text using <ref> tags. An example looks like:
JavaScript is used on webpages today.<ref>Smith, John (2005), ''JavaScript 101'', ISBN 938223445333</ref>
And the resultant text would look like: JavaScript is used on webpages today.1
With the superscript 1 being a link to a footnote at the bottom of the page automatically created by inserting the code: {{reflist}}
An easy to follow standard guide is at Referencing for beginners with citation templates, an online video demonstration can be played at Footnotes demo.ogv and a primer for general editing is at How to edit a page. Thanks, ~~~~
