| | + | |pagebody = WikiVet is a collaboratively edited veterinary encyclopedia to which you can contribute. These series of articles aim to help you join in this ongoing project. The following pages will discuss features of WikiVet, giving style and content guidance, and laying down some basic rules and guidelines to follow whilst using the WikiVet. Please remember that this is only a basic tutorial and if you are struggling please look at the external Wikipedia help pages or email on of our admins. A key feature of WikiVet is the [[sandpit]]. This is essentially a practice area for editing and experimenting. No one will mind if you mess this page up whilst learning the ropes of WikiVet. |

| − | === Multiple uses of the same footnote ===
| |
| − | | |
| − | To give a footnote a unique identifier, use '''<ref name="name">'''. You can then refer to the same footnote again by using a ref tag with the same name. The text inside the second tag doesn't matter, because the text already exists in the first reference. You can either copy the whole footnote, or you can use a terminated empty ref tag that looks like this: '''<ref name="name" />'''.
| |
| − | | |
| − | In the following example, the same source is cited three times.
| |
| − | | |
| − | <blockquote>
| |
| − | <tt>
| |
| − | This is an example of multiple references to the same footnote.<font color=red>'''<ref name="multiple">'''Remember that when you refer to the same footnote multiple times, the text from the first reference is used.'''</ref>'''</font>
| |
| − | <br/>
| |
| − | <br/>
| |
| − | Such references are particularly useful when citing sources, if different statements come from
| |
| − | the same source.<font color=red>'''<ref name="multiple">'''This text is superfluous, and won't show up anywhere. We may as well just use an empty tag.'''</ref>'''</font>
| |
| − | <br/>
| |
| − | <br/>
| |
| − | A concise way to make multiple references is to use empty ref tags, which have a slash at the
| |
| − | end. Although this may reduce redundant work, please be aware that if a future editor removes the first reference, this will result in the loss of all references using the empty ref tags.<font color=red>'''<ref name="multiple" />'''</font>
