Footnotes are useful for providing sources for statements made in articles. On Asheron.info these are most useful on lore articles written by players.
For example:
<pre>
...Deru Trees.<ref name=Knight>2008/08 [[Ancient Powers]] - [[The Blessed Trees]]</ref>
...sun and stars.<ref>1999/11 [[Release]] - [[The Advocate Towers]]</ref>
...across the world.<ref>2008/08 [[Ancient Powers]] - [[The Blessed Trees]]</ref>
...Deru Trees.<ref name=Knight/>


#. At the bottom of the article, create a section titled References.
----
#. List your references using the # symbol. Most sources will be links to internal pages - items, quests, texts, and so on. Simply create the link with bracets (<nowiki>[[ ]]</nowiki>) and if possible, provide the date and patch when the source was introduced.
#. To create a footnote, use the following code and replace n with the correct number:


{|
<references/>
|
</pre>
<nowiki><sup></nowiki>
<nowiki>[[</nowiki>
<nowiki>{{PAGENAME}}#References</nowiki>
<nowiki>|</nowiki>
<nowiki><nowiki>[</nowiki></nowiki>
n
<nowiki><nowiki>]</nowiki></nowiki>
<nowiki>]]</nowiki>
<nowiki></sup></nowiki>
|-
|}
(For exact code, edit and copy this section:)<br>
<sup>[[{{PAGENAME}}#References|<nowiki>[</nowiki>1<nowiki>]</nowiki>]]</sup>


References Section Example:
will display as:
== References ==
# yyyy/mm <nowiki>[[Patch]] - [[Item 1]]</nowiki>
# yyyy/mm <nowiki>[[Patch]] - [[Item 2]]</nowiki>
# yyyy/mm <nowiki>[[Patch]] - [[Item 3]]</nowiki>
