One-Punch Man Wiki:Guide to referencing

A reference, or citation, is a line of text that uniquely identifies a source. All information on this wiki should be properly referenced. To add a reference, use the template ref in the source code editor, and follow the guidelines outlined on this page.

Referencing the manga and/or the anime
Copy the code below and add numbers ( = manga chapter,   = page number,   = anime episode):


 * Referencing a manga chapter only
 * Example:


 * Referencing a manga chapter with a page number. You can also reference multiple pages.
 * Example:   or


 * Referencing an anime episode
 * Example:


 * Referencing a manga chapter and an anime episode
 * Example:

Numbering guidelines
When numbering manga pages, use the online chapters at Tonari.
 * The title page counts as one page.
 * Chapters with multiple parts may have multiple title pages (e.g., Chapter 21); each title page counts as one page.
 * Double-page spreads count as two pages.

Referencing the webcomic
The manga should be used as the primary reference source. However, for webcomic information not shown in the manga, use the following code ( = webcomic chapter,   = page number). DO NOT mix the  and   parameters:

Using a reference multiple times on the same page
To use a reference multiple times on the same page, assign a name to the  parameter (a name cannot consist of only numbers and cannot have spaces). Choose a name descriptive of the claim for easier future identification of the reference. This name can now be used anywhere on the page. Now use the name somewhere else on the page: And again and again.
 * Example: : Saitama kills Vaccine Man.

Adding the list of references
The footnote list should always be present at the bottom of an article when a reference exists on the page:
