The second necessary part of the citation or reference is the list of full references, which provides complete, formatted detail about the source, so that anyone reading the article can find it and verify it. </p><p>This page explains how to place and format both parts of the citation. Each article should use one citation method or style throughout. If an article already has citations, preserve consistency by using that method or seek consensus on the talk page before changing it <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r582804"><span role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">(the principle is reviewed at <a href="#Variation_in_citation_methods">§ Variation in citation methods</a>)</span>.

As such, <a href="/wiki/Module:WikidataIB" title="Module:WikidataIB">Module:WikidataIB</a> and some related modules and templates filter Wikidata statements not supported by a reference by default; however, other modules and templates, such as <a href="/wiki/Module:Wikidata" title="Module:Wikidata">Module:Wikidata</a>, do not. </p><p>In order to transclude an item from Wikidata, the <a href="https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Glossary#QID" class="extiw" title="d:Wikidata:Glossary">QID (Q number)</a> of an item in Wikidata needs to be known. QID can by found by searching for an item by the name or <a href="/wiki/Digital_object_identifier" title="Digital object identifier">DOI</a> in Wikidata. A book, a journal article, a musical recording, sheet music or any other item can be represented by a structured item in Wikidata. </p><p>The {{<a href="/wiki/%E0%B7%83%E0%B7%90%E0%B6%9A%E0%B7%92%E0%B6%BD%E0%B7%8A%E0%B6%BD:Cite_Q" title="සැකිල්ල:Cite Q">Cite Q</a>}} template can be used to cite works whose metadata is held in Wikidata, provided the cited work meets Wikipedia's standards.

This is especially helpful when the cited text is long or dense. A quotation allows readers to immediately identify the applicable portion of the reference. Quotes are also useful if the source is not easily accessible. </p><p>In the case of non-English sources, it may be helpful to quote from the original text and then give an English translation. If the article itself contains a translation of a quote from such a source (without the original), then the original should be included in the footnote. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r582804"><span role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">(See the <a href="/wiki/%E0%B7%80%E0%B7%92%E0%B6%9A%E0%B7%92%E0%B6%B4%E0%B7%93%E0%B6%A9%E0%B7%92%E0%B6%BA%E0%B7%8F:Verifiability#Non-English_sources" class="mw-redirect" title="විකිපීඩියා:Verifiability">WP:Verifiability § Non-English sources</a> policy for more information.)</span> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 ext-discussiontools-init-section"><h2 id="Inline_citations" data-mw-thread-id="h-Inline_citations"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Inline_citations"></span>Inline citations<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Inline_citations"></span></h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=%E0%B7%80%E0%B7%92%E0%B6%9A%E0%B7%92%E0%B6%B4%E0%B7%93%E0%B6%A9%E0%B7%92%E0%B6%BA%E0%B7%8F:%E0%B6%B8%E0%B7%96%E0%B6%BD%E0%B7%8F%E0%B7%81%E0%B7%8A%E2%80%8D%E0%B6%BB_%E0%B6%8B%E0%B6%B4%E0%B6%B1%E0%B7%8A%E2%80%8D%E0%B6%BA%E0%B7%8F%E0%B7%83_%E0%B6%9A%E0%B7%92%E0%B6%BB%E0%B7%93%E0%B6%B8&action=edit&section=28" title="ඡේදය සංස්කරණය: Inline citations"><span>සංස්කරණය</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r725818"><div class="module-shortcutanchordiv"><span id="WP:INCITE"></span><span id="WP:INLINECITE"></span></div><div class="module-shortcutboxplain plainlist noprint" role="note"><div class="module-shortcutlist"><a href="/wiki/%E0%B7%80%E0%B7%92%E0%B6%9A%E0%B7%92%E0%B6%B4%E0%B7%93%E0%B6%A9%E0%B7%92%E0%B6%BA%E0%B7%8F:%E0%B6%9A%E0%B7%99%E0%B6%A7%E0%B7%92_%E0%B6%B8%E0%B7%8F%E0%B6%BB%E0%B7%8A%E0%B6%9C" title="විකිපීඩියා:කෙටි මාර්ග">කෙටි මං</a></div><ul><li><span class="plainlinks"><a class="external text" href="https://si.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=%E0%B7%80%E0%B7%92%E0%B6%9A%E0%B7%92%E0%B6%B4%E0%B7%93%E0%B6%A9%E0%B7%92%E0%B6%BA%E0%B7%8F:INCITE&redirect=no">WP:INCITE</a></span></li><li><a href="/w/index.php?title=%E0%B7%80%E0%B7%92%E0%B6%9A%E0%B7%92%E0%B6%B4%E0%B7%93%E0%B6%A9%E0%B7%92%E0%B6%BA%E0%B7%8F:INLINECITE&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="විකිපීඩියා:INLINECITE (පිටුව නොපවතියි)">WP:INLINECITE</a></li></ul></div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r582804"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">වැඩිදුර තොරතුරු: <a href="/wiki/%E0%B7%80%E0%B7%92%E0%B6%9A%E0%B7%92%E0%B6%B4%E0%B7%93%E0%B6%A9%E0%B7%92%E0%B6%BA%E0%B7%8F:Inline_citation" title="විකිපීඩියා:Inline citation">Wikipedia:Inline citation</a></div> <p>Inline citations allow the reader to associate a given bit of material in an article with the specific reliable source(s) that support it.

There will often be false positives; <code>web.archive.org</code> URLs, in particular, are a nuisance as they contain the original URLs, which shows as duplicates. The optional part of Step 2 eliminates the archive URLs, but unfortunately the list of duplicates includes the archived pages. The wiki* URLs are less of a problem as they can just be ignored.</li></ul></li></ul> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="Short_citations" data-mw-thread-id="h-Short_citations-Footnotes"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Short_citations-Footnotes"></span>Short citations <span id="Shortened_footnotes"></span><span data-mw-comment-end="h-Short_citations-Footnotes"></span></h4><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=%E0%B7%80%E0%B7%92%E0%B6%9A%E0%B7%92%E0%B6%B4%E0%B7%93%E0%B6%A9%E0%B7%92%E0%B6%BA%E0%B7%8F:%E0%B6%B8%E0%B7%96%E0%B6%BD%E0%B7%8F%E0%B7%81%E0%B7%8A%E2%80%8D%E0%B6%BB_%E0%B6%8B%E0%B6%B4%E0%B6%B1%E0%B7%8A%E2%80%8D%E0%B6%BA%E0%B7%8F%E0%B7%83_%E0%B6%9A%E0%B7%92%E0%B6%BB%E0%B7%93%E0%B6%B8&action=edit&section=37" title="ඡේදය සංස්කරණය: Short citations"><span>සංස්කරණය</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p><span class="anchor" id="CITESHORT"></span><span class="anchor" id="SFN"></span><link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r725818"></p><div class="module-shortcutanchordiv"><span id="WP:CITESHORT"></span><span id="WP:SFN"></span></div><div class="module-shortcutboxplain plainlist noprint" role="note"><div class="module-shortcutlist"><a href="/wiki/%E0%B7%80%E0%B7%92%E0%B6%9A%E0%B7%92%E0%B6%B4%E0%B7%93%E0%B6%A9%E0%B7%92%E0%B6%BA%E0%B7%8F:%E0%B6%9A%E0%B7%99%E0%B6%A7%E0%B7%92_%E0%B6%B8%E0%B7%8F%E0%B6%BB%E0%B7%8A%E0%B6%9C" title="විකිපීඩියා:කෙටි මාර්ග">කෙටි මං</a></div><ul><li><span class="plainlinks"><a class="external text" href="https://si.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=%E0%B7%80%E0%B7%92%E0%B6%9A%E0%B7%92%E0%B6%B4%E0%B7%93%E0%B6%A9%E0%B7%92%E0%B6%BA%E0%B7%8F:CITESHORT&redirect=no">WP:CITESHORT</a></span></li><li><a href="/w/index.php?title=%E0%B7%80%E0%B7%92%E0%B6%9A%E0%B7%92%E0%B6%B4%E0%B7%93%E0%B6%A9%E0%B7%92%E0%B6%BA%E0%B7%8F:SFN&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="විකිපීඩියා:SFN (පිටුව නොපවතියි)">WP:SFN</a></li></ul></div> <div class="rellink relarticle mainarticle" style="font-style:italic; padding-left:2em;">ප්‍රධාන පිටුව: <a href="/wiki/%E0%B6%8B%E0%B6%AF%E0%B7%80%E0%B7%94:Shortened_footnotes" title="උදවු:Shortened footnotes">Help:Shortened footnotes</a></div> <p>Some Wikipedia articles use <i>short citations</i>, giving summary information about the source together with a page number, as in <code class="nowrap" style=""><ref>Smith 2010, p. 1.</ref></code>.
