Our references feature is now easy enough for anyone to use. Instead of using wikitext to cite your sources, you only need to point and click to have your references added to the page.

To add a reference note:

1. Edit your page and place your cursor where you’d like your reference marker to go.
2. Click on the “Embed Widget” tool in the toolbar.
3. Go to “Reference” and click on “Embed Reference Marker.”
4. Type in the text you’d like to appear in your footnote.
5. Save the reference and then save your page.

By default, references will appear at the bottom of the page.

If you’re looking to get advanced with your references, you can move the location of your notes to anywhere on the page. All you need to do is:

1. Edit your page and place your cursor where you’d like your reference section to appear.
2. Go to the “Embed Widget” tool in the toolbar and then to “Reference.”
3. Select “Embed Reference Text” and then save your page.

Have your students give it a try as they cite sources for their next research paper, and let us know how it goes with an e-mail to help@wikispaces.com.
