'''Footnotes:''' Literature references cited with the above method will appear as footnotes, for example at the bottom of this page. Footnotes are also a good place to put any technical or digressive notes to avoid having them intrude in the main text. You can put any footnote text between <ref> and </ref> tags.

The only thing you need to type into the wikitext at the bottom of your page, in order to display the footnotes and references there, are these two lines:

The title of the References section can be any appropriate title, such as ''Literature Cited'', ''Footnotes'', ''Notes and References'', etc.

'''Note:''' It's also possible to list reference information from Pubmed without having them get assigned a bracketed number at the point of citation. This is done by adding them to the group '''xtra'''. For example this may be helpful when listing additional references indexed at Pubmed that don't contain items specifically cited in the text of the page.
An example is "<nowiki><ref group="xtra">PMID:15068885</ref></nowiki>". If you type the PubMedID in this manner, the properly formatted reference will be created automatically wherever you place the necessary wikitext <nowiki>"<references group="xtra"/></nowiki>"". If you have a number of them to cite like this, putting all the additional references on one line eliminates excessive gaps in the page created when the items are hidden on the article page.<br>
For example, the source,<br>
<nowiki>Additional Literature and Resources</nowiki><br>
<nowiki><ref group="xtra">PMID:15068885</ref><ref group="xtra">PMID:14749769</ref><ref group="xtra">PMID:1304880</ref></nowiki><br>
<nowiki><references group="xtra"/></nowiki>
will appear on the article page, as below:<br>
&nbsp;<br>
Additional Literature and Resources <ref group="xtra">PMID:15068885</ref><ref group="xtra">PMID:14749769</ref><ref group="xtra">PMID:1304880</ref>
<references group="xtra"/>
