Inline citations are most commonly placed by inserting a reference between <code><nowiki><ref></nowiki></code> ... <code><nowiki></ref></nowiki></code> tags, directly in the text of an article. When one saves, that will ''display'' in the text as a footnote (e.g.<small><sup><span style="color:#002BB8">[1][2]</span></sup></small>), and the source you keyed in will appear on the page in a collated, numbered list corresponding to the footnote numbers in the text, wherever a template or <code><nowiki><references /></nowiki></code> tag is present, usually in a section titled "References" or "Notes". If you are creating a new page, or adding references to a page that didn't previously have any, don't forget to add a references section with this display markup.

A file that is already hosted on the site can be inserted with the basic code "<code><nowiki>[[File:FILENAME|thumb|DESCRIPTION]]</nowiki></code>". ("<code>Image:</code>" can be substituted for "<code>File:</code>" with no change in effect; the choice between the two is purely a matter of editorial preference.) Using "<code>thumb</code>" generates a thumbnail of an image (the most common placement option), which is typically sized differently from the original image.
