In this context, the word "Footnotes" refers to the Wikipedia-specific manner of documenting an article's sources and providing tangential information, and should not be confused with the general concept of <a href="/wiki/Note_(typography)" title="Note (typography)">footnotes</a>. This how-to does not cover the formatting of citations within the Footnotes section, which is reviewed in <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citing_sources" title="Wikipedia:Citing sources">Citing sources</a>. </p><p>Footnotes are used most commonly to provide: </p> <ul><li><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citing_sources" title="Wikipedia:Citing sources">references (bibliographic citations) to reliable sources</a>,</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Help:Explanatory_notes" title="Help:Explanatory notes">explanatory information</a>, or</li> <li>source information for tables and other elements.</li></ul> <p>Footnotes or <a href="/wiki/Help:Shortened_footnotes" title="Help:Shortened footnotes">shortened footnotes</a> may be used at the editor's discretion in accordance with the guideline on <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:CITEVAR" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:CITEVAR">Variation in citation methods</a>. </p><p>Only certain types of material on the English Wikipedia are required to have an inline citation. There is <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Inline_citation#Citation_density" title="Wikipedia:Inline citation">no requirement to provide a citation for every sentence</a>, because multiple sentences may be supported by the same footnote. For advice on which material should be cited, see the guidelines on <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:MINREF" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:MINREF">When you must use inline citations</a>, the <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Good_article_criteria" title="Wikipedia:Good article criteria">Good article criteria</a> and <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:When_to_cite" title="Wikipedia:When to cite">When to cite</a>. For advice on how to organize and format bibliographic citations, see the guideline on <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citing_sources" title="Wikipedia:Citing sources">Citing sources</a> and examples of <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_templates#Examples" title="Wikipedia:Citation templates">Citation templates</a>. </p><p>Footnotes are created using the <a href="https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Cite" class="extiw" title="mw:Extension:Cite">Cite</a> software extension. This extension adds the HTML-like elements <code class="nowrap"><<a href="https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Cite/Cite.php" class="extiw" title="mw:Extension:Cite/Cite.php">ref</a>>...</ref></code>, <code class="nowrap"><<a href="https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Cite/Cite.php" class="extiw" title="mw:Extension:Cite/Cite.php">references</a> /></code> and <code class="nowrap" style=""><references>...</references></code>. The elements are also used in a number of templates; for example, it is becoming more common to use <code>{{<a href="/wiki/Template:Reflist" title="Template:Reflist">reflist</a>}}</code> rather than <code class="nowrap" style=""><references /></code> as it can style the reference list. </p> <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc"/> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 ext-discussiontools-init-section"><h2 id="Overview" data-mw-thread-id="h-Overview"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Overview"></span>Overview<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Overview"></span></h2></div> <div class="plainlinks" style="border:1px solid #a7d7f9; padding: 0.8em; width: 25%; font-size: 87%; float:right;"> <figure class="mw-halign-left" typeof="mw:File/Frameless"><a href="/wiki/File:VisualEditor-logo.svg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/12/VisualEditor-logo.svg/200px-VisualEditor-logo.svg.png" decoding="async" width="200" height="70" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/12/VisualEditor-logo.svg/300px-VisualEditor-logo.svg.png 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/12/VisualEditor-logo.svg/400px-VisualEditor-logo.svg.png 2x" data-file-width="641" data-file-height="225"/></a><figcaption></figcaption></figure> <b>Instructions on this page may not work with VisualEditor.</b> If you have <a href="/wiki/Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-betafeatures" title="Special:Preferences">opted in</a>, you can use either <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:VisualEditor" title="Wikipedia:VisualEditor">VisualEditor</a> or classic editing through <a href="/wiki/Help:Wiki_markup" class="mw-redirect" title="Help:Wiki markup">wiki markup</a> (wikitext) to edit most pages.

For instructions on editing with VisualEditor, see <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:VisualEditor/User_guide" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:VisualEditor/User guide">Wikipedia:VisualEditor/User guide</a>. </div> <p>The Footnotes system shows two elements on the page: </p> <ul><li>A <b>Footnote marker</b> is displayed in the article's content as a bracketed, superscripted number, letter, or word. Examples shown respectively are: <style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1255586131">.mw-parser-output .fakelinks{color:var(--color-progressive,#0645ad);cursor:default}.mw-parser-output .fakelinks:hover{color:var(--color-progressive--hover,#0645ad)}</style><sup class="reference nowrap ltr fakelinks">[1]</sup><link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1255586131"><sup class="reference nowrap ltr fakelinks">[a]</sup><link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1255586131"><sup class="reference nowrap ltr fakelinks">[Note 1]</sup>. This footnote label is linked to the full footnote. Clicking on the footnote marker jumps the page down to the footnote and highlights the citation. If you are using the desktop site and have Javascript enabled, then hovering your cursor over a footnote marker (or touching it on touch devices) will show a pop-up box containing the footnote.</li> <li>A <b>Footnote</b> displays the full citation for the source. Together the footnotes are displayed in an ordered list wherever the reference list markup <span class="nowrap">{{</span><a href="/wiki/Template:Reflist" title="Template:Reflist">reflist</a><span class="nowrap">}}</span> is placed. Each entry begins with the footnote label in plain text. The entire reference list is formatted in a slightly smaller font.</li></ul> <dl><dd>Each successive footnote label is automatically incremented.

Please do not use raNdOM capitalization.</li> <li>Names <strong>must not</strong> be purely numeric; the software will accept something like <code>":31337"</code> (which is punctuation plus a number), but it will ignore <code>"31337"</code> (purely numeric).</li> <li>Names should have semantic value, so that they can be more easily distinguished from each other by human editors who are looking at the wikitext. This means that ref names like <code>"Nguyen 2010"</code> are preferred to names like <code>":31337"</code>.</li> <li>Names must be unique. You may not use the same name to define different groups or footnotes. Try to avoid picking a name that someone else is likely to choose for a new citation, such as <code>":0"</code> or <code>"NYT"</code>.</li> <li>Please consider keeping reference names short, simple, and restricted to the standard <a href="/wiki/English_alphabet" title="English alphabet">English alphabet</a> and numerals. If spaces are used, the following technical restrictions become relevant: <ul><li>Quotation marks are preferred but optional if the only characters used are letters <code>A–Z</code>, <code>a–z</code>, digits <code>0–9</code>, and the symbols <code style="word-break: break-all;">!$%&()*,-.:;<@[]^_`{|}~</code>. That is, all printable ASCII characters except <code style="word-break: break-all;">#"'/=<>?\</code> and space.</li> <li>Inclusion of any other characters, <em>including spaces</em>, requires that the reference name be enclosed in quotes; for example, <code>name="John Smith"</code>. But quote-enclosed reference names may not include a less-than sign (<code><</code>) or a double straight quote symbol (<code>"</code>), which may however be included by <a href="/wiki/Escape_sequence" title="Escape sequence">escaping</a> as <code>&lt;</code> and <code>&quot;</code> respectively.</li> <li>The quote marks must be the standard, straight, double quotation marks (<code>"</code>); curly or other quotes will be parsed as part of the reference name.</li></ul></li> <li>You may optionally provide reference names even when the reference name is not required. This makes later re-use of the sourced reference easier.</li></ul> <p>Note that the colon-followed-by-numeral names, like <code>":0"</code>, are currently <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:VENAMEDREFS" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:VENAMEDREFS">generated by default</a> in <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:VE" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:VE">VisualEditor</a>. </p> <table style="margin-top:0;margin-left:0; border-width:medium; padding:0;"> <tbody><tr> <th scope="col" style="width:50%;">Markup</th> <th scope="col" style="width:50%;">Renders as </th></tr> <tr> <td style="background:#f8f9fa; background:var(--background-color-interactive-subtle, #f8f9fa); color:var(--color-base, #000); border:1px solid #eaecf0; padding:9px 5px 5px; vertical-align:top;"><pre style="margin:0; border:none; padding:0; word-wrap:break-word; white-space:-moz-pre-wrap; white-space:-o-pre-wrap; white-space:-pre-wrap; white-space:pre-wrap; ">This is page content.<ref name="manchester2002">{{cite book|title=LibreOffice for Starters|edition=First|publisher=Flexible Minds|location=Manchester|year=2002|p=18}}</ref> This is more content.<ref name="manchester2002" /> {{reflist}}</pre> </td> <td style="background:#f8f9fa; background:var(--background-color-interactive-subtle, #f8f9fa); color:var(--color-base, #000); border:1px solid #eaecf0; padding:5px; vertical-align:top;"><div style=""> <p>This is page content.<sup id="cite_ref-manchester2002_9-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-manchester2002-9"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> This is more content.<sup id="cite_ref-manchester2002_9-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-manchester2002-9"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1239543626"><div class="reflist"> <div class="mw-references-wrap"><ol class="references"> <li id="cite_note-manchester2002-9"><span class="mw-cite-backlink">^ <a href="#cite_ref-manchester2002_9-0"><sup><i><b>a</b></i></sup></a> <a href="#cite_ref-manchester2002_9-1"><sup><i><b>b</b></i></sup></a></span> <span class="reference-text"><style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1238218222">.mw-parser-output cite.citation{font-style:inherit;word-wrap:break-word}.mw-parser-output .citation q{quotes:"\"""\"""'""'"}.mw-parser-output .citation:target{background-color:rgba(0,127,255,0.133)}.mw-parser-output .id-lock-free.id-lock-free a{background:url("//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/6/65/Lock-green.svg")right 0.1em center/9px no-repeat}.mw-parser-output .id-lock-limited.id-lock-limited a,.mw-parser-output .id-lock-registration.id-lock-registration a{background:url("//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/d6/Lock-gray-alt-2.svg")right 0.1em center/9px no-repeat}.mw-parser-output .id-lock-subscription.id-lock-subscription a{background:url("//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/aa/Lock-red-alt-2.svg")right 0.1em center/9px no-repeat}.mw-parser-output .cs1-ws-icon a{background:url("//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/4c/Wikisource-logo.svg")right 0.1em center/12px no-repeat}body:not(.skin-timeless):not(.skin-minerva) .mw-parser-output .id-lock-free a,body:not(.skin-timeless):not(.skin-minerva) .mw-parser-output .id-lock-limited a,body:not(.skin-timeless):not(.skin-minerva) .mw-parser-output .id-lock-registration a,body:not(.skin-timeless):not(.skin-minerva) .mw-parser-output .id-lock-subscription a,body:not(.skin-timeless):not(.skin-minerva) .mw-parser-output .cs1-ws-icon a{background-size:contain;padding:0 1em 0 0}.mw-parser-output .cs1-code{color:inherit;background:inherit;border:none;padding:inherit}.mw-parser-output .cs1-hidden-error{display:none;color:var(--color-error,#d33)}.mw-parser-output .cs1-visible-error{color:var(--color-error,#d33)}.mw-parser-output .cs1-maint{display:none;color:#085;margin-left:0.3em}.mw-parser-output .cs1-kern-left{padding-left:0.2em}.mw-parser-output .cs1-kern-right{padding-right:0.2em}.mw-parser-output .citation .mw-selflink{font-weight:inherit}@media screen{.mw-parser-output .cs1-format{font-size:95%}html.skin-theme-clientpref-night .mw-parser-output .cs1-maint{color:#18911f}}@media screen and (prefers-color-scheme:dark){html.skin-theme-clientpref-os .mw-parser-output .cs1-maint{color:#18911f}}</style><cite class="citation book cs1"><i>LibreOffice for Starters</i> (First ed.).

Suppose one fact is on page 8, a different fact on page 12, a third fact on page 18, a fourth fact on page 241.

The long citation to support the shortened citations can either be placed as a bullet point in a separate <i>References section</i> after the <i>Footnotes section</i>; or it can be placed in the first footnote to cite the source (with the initial relevant page number[s]). The remaining footnotes will use shortened citations (these usually contain the author's last name, the date of publication, and the relevant page number[s]). </p><p>A less common approach is to attach a <code>{{<a href="/wiki/Template:Rp" class="mw-redirect" title="Template:Rp">rp</a>|page}}</code> right after the footnote marker replacing the "page" with the appropriate page number or numbers.
