==Citing Literature References==
==Citing Literature References==
Each citation that is to appear as a numbered footnote at the bottom of an article should be ''enclosed between <ref> and </ref>'''. Only a number in brackets will be displayed in the text where you placed the reference. Clicking this bracketed number will jump to that reference at the bottom of the page, and block highlight it. Similarly, clicking the small upwards-pointing arrow that displays with the reference at the bottom of the page will jump to the place where it is cited, and block highlight the bracketed number.
To produce the list of numbered references at the bottom of the page, insert '''&lt;references /&gt;''' (note the slash!). Typically this is placed after a title such as <nowiki>==References==</nowiki>.


'''Examples:''' This paragraph contains several citations to literature indexed in PubMed, and one citation of a paper not indexed in PubMed.

===Citing by PubMed ID Number===
===Citing by PubMed ID Number===


When citing a publication indexed at PubMed in the text of a page, either type "PMID:" followed by the PubMedID number of the publication, or else type the citation into the text as you wish it to appear in the reference list below, and then '''enclose it between &lt;ref&gt; and &lt;/ref&gt;'''. An example is "<nowiki><ref>PMID:15955783</ref></nowiki>". If you type the PubMedID in this manner, the properly formatted reference will created automatically at the bottom of the page (or wherever you place the necessary wikitext <nowiki>"<references/>"</nowiki>, read on..).  Only a number in brackets will be displayed in the text where you placed the reference.
