 ===Creating footnotes===
 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.}}

 ===Creating the References section===
-If it was not already added during a previous edit, please add a References section at the bottom of an article. All references will show up there once you do so. Adding a References section is a simple two-liner:
+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>'''}}
