Citation help

How do you cite one reference several times? Example: the BPAL article that I've been working on has some citations that could support multiple statements. {{helpme}}

See Wikipedia:Footnotes#Citing a footnote more than once. Give the reference a name and then use the name for repeat citations along with a slash.

first ref → <ref name="anyname">http://www.foo.com </ref>
next ref → <ref name="anyname"/> Hoof Hearted 21:37, 23 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Hoof Hearted!

disambiguation help

There's an redirection for DFMA that I think should be turned into a disambiguation -- beyond the mathematical society that it currently references, DFMA is also an acronym used in engineering/manufacturing and six sigma referring to design for manufacturability and design for assembly. It's also an acronym for distributed frameworks for multimedia applications. What's the proper way to bring attention so the talk page doesn't just sit there all empty-like? Thanks!! {{helpme}}

You can turn it into a disambiguation page yourself. :) Simply edit the page and replace the redirect code with {{disambig}}. Then you can make a list of all the possible things "DFMA" stands for like you would any other page. Nerwen 08:19, 30 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
