What do I do when one reference covers multiple facts? Instead of repeating the same reference, is there an easier reference code to use? Thank you so much! --fff (talk) 21:08, 17 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Yes.
  1. Name the ref at the start of the first ref <ref name="fred">
  2. Next time just use a self closing tag - one space after name then a slash <ref name="fred" />
Hope that helps - see User:Ronhjones/Sandbox2 for it in action Ronhjones  (Talk) 21:23, 17 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
