Conservapedia allows editors to place footnotes (usually to cite sources) in articles. Within a text, a footnote will appear like this: <sup class="reference">[[#|[1]]]</sup>
Conservapedia allows editors to place '''footnotes''' (usually to cite sources) in articles. Within a text, a footnote will appear like this: <sup class="reference">[[#|[1]]]</sup>
Clicking such a link takes the reader to the References section (usually located at the bottom of the article).

When editing an article, footnotes are created with the help of the reference ("ref") tag:
When editing an article, footnotes are created with the help of the reference ("ref") tag:
{{QuoteBox|Article text.'''<nowiki><ref></nowiki>'''Footnote text'''<nowiki></ref></nowiki>''' More article text.}}
{{QuoteBox|Article text.'''<nowiki><ref></nowiki>'''Footnote text'''<nowiki></ref></nowiki>''' More article text.}}
:Article text.<sup class="reference">[[#|[1]]]</sup> More article text.
:Article text.<sup class="reference">[[#|[1]]]</sup> More article text.
Usually, the footnote text will be a web address (such as http://www.bouldercolorado.gov/index.php ) or the title of a book/article (with the relevant page and other information)

===Creating the References section===
===Creating the References section===
References sections should be place in all articles below the "See also" sections, but above the "External links" sections. In a scenario where neither of those sections exist, then the References section simply goes at the bottom of the page. Keep an eye out for articles with references (which, as previously mentioned, are identifiable by the superscript text and link color) but does not display the references or displays them not inside the References subsection. Too amend these articles, or to add a references section in general, all that is needed is a simple two-liner:
{{QuoteBox|'''<nowiki>==</nowiki>References<nowiki>==</nowiki>'''<br/>'''<nowiki> {{reflist}} </nowiki>'''}}
{{QuoteBox|'''<nowiki>==</nowiki>References<nowiki>==</nowiki>'''<br/>'''<nowiki> {{reflist}} </nowiki>'''}}
Doing so would create two footnote marks with the same number, pointing at the same footnote:

Please note: The slash ("/") at the end of the second footnote tag is highly important. Usage of the Preview function is recommended.

===Avoid multiple footnotes. Put all sources into a single note.===

{{QuoteBox|'''<nowiki>{{uncited}}</nowiki>'''}}
{{QuoteBox|'''<nowiki>{{uncited}}</nowiki>'''}}
If an article is only partially cited, you can use CPCN or Citations Missing:
{{QuoteBox|'''<nowiki>{{CPCN}}</nowiki>'''}}
{{QuoteBox|'''<nowiki>{{Citations missing}}</nowiki>'''}}
