One-Punch Man Wiki:Guide to referencing


 * "A reference, or citation, is a line of text that uniquely identifies a source."

It's a tool we use to reference the information we put in these Wikis. Take a look at the Vaccine Man page. Here you see that, besides the awesome pictures, infobox, navbox, summaries, and links, there are also little blue numbers bordered by square brackets, as you can recognize them by this format:. THAT's what we call references. By clicking on these references, you are redirected to a section on the bottom of the page, called "References".

Actual guide to referencing
Here's how to use the ref template:

Just insert the chapter number and the page number and the reference is good to go! Here's an example:

Turns into:

Episodes
Along with chapters, we also have episodes. It's the same thing actually. Just add it:

And again, an example for you:

Turns into:

Of course, there will be anime-only scenes. In that case, simply refer to the anime episode and nothing else. Like this:

Names
If you have one reference that refers to multiple sections of the article, like how Genos shows a skill on one page of the manga and you use the same page to reference something in his Plot section. Normally, there would be two references, one referring to the plot and the other to that skill, but with names, you can attach one reference to multiple locations on the article. A regular named reference would go like this: One piece of text.

Other piece of text. But we're not gonna use those. That has been cramped in the Ref template. Here's an example: Blahbediblah.

More blah. Would look like this: Blahbediblah.

More blah. Blahbediblah.

More blah.

Referencing specific sections
Sometimes you would want to refer to a statement from an interview made on Yusuke Murata's stream. Let's say you want to refer to a statement for Bomb's age.

First find where the statement is located:




 * Located at Interviews/Stream_Q/A_4

Then locate the url hyperlink to the section:




 * The hyperlink is found on the contents section

Click on the link. This will take you to the section and give you the url in the address bar.




 * URL for the section.

Once you have the information you can type in:

Then you can refer to the statement that Bomb is 83.

Formatting
The reference list on the bottom of the page should always be present when there's a reference on the article and is inserted like this:
