LOL! Sid I have no idea what you did, or why.....but sometime tell me, so I will learn! --TK--Terry
- Hm? I just converted your links to footnotes. If you just add [http://www.conservapedia.com/Main_Page] into an article, it will just appear like this: [1]. In longer articles, such numbered links are fairly confusing.
- Using references is more comfortable because you can add link description and general footnotes without overloading the main text body. So if you add <ref>Conservapedia: [http://www.conservapedia.com/Main_Page Main Page]</ref>, it just appears like this [1], and you can click the number to jump to the References section at the bottom.
- Of course, you have to add the Reference Section with <references/> like I did below.
- Keeping this in mind, take a look at the edits I made, and you should see how it works in normal articles. :) --Sid 3050 10:40, 18 March 2007 (EDT)
