We raise the claim to be a scientific knowledge base what makes correct citing and referncing for the provided content one of the most urgent issues in AWF-Wiki. Therefore we use the wiki-extension Cite that enshures a clean and organised style of references.

References are placed inbetween a <ref> </ref> - tag in the text (right at the position of the citation). This sentence is an example for a citation (Fehrmann 2008 [1]), you can see the small indicator linking to the footnote at the end of this section. The basic concept of the <ref> tag is that it inserts the text enclosed by the ref tags as a footnote in a designated section, which you indicate with the placeholder tag <references /> like this:

==References==
<references/>

If you forget to include <references /> at the end of the article, none of the footnotes will appear.

This page itself uses footnotes, such as the one at the end of this sentence.[2] If you view the source of this page by clicking "Edit this page", you can see a working example of footnotes.
