Creating a new page

Every page should have the following at the bottom:

==References==

{{Reflist}}


[[Category:XXX]]

[[Category:XXX]]

Research pages

Pages that document research should have, in addition, a block listing the authors, in the order they are listed in the paper in question. This should immediately precede the References section

== Authors ==

* [[Author 1]]

* [[Author 2]]


==References==

{{Reflist}}


[[Category:Research]]

[[Category:XXX]]

People

Where relevant, the first section for a page about a person should be Positions held, listing in chronological order the positions that person has held (first by start date, then by end date if necessary.):

== Positions held ==

* <start year> - <end year> - position held

* <start year> - <end year> - position held


==References==

{{Reflist}}


[[Category:People]]

[[Category:XXX]]

References

References should use the Cite extension. As mentioned above, every page should have the {{Reflist}} directive.

The format of references should follow the following format, with the second being used for the first instance of a repeated reference, and third for subsequent instances:

<ref>[http://www.example.com/directory/page.php Page title] - Site name</ref>

<ref name="shortname">[http://www.example.com/directory/page.php Page title] - Site name</ref>

<ref name="shortname" />

Quotations

There are (currently) 10 quotation templates with different colours:

{{quote|quoted text here}}

{{quote2|quoted text here}}

{{quote3|quoted text here}}

{{quote4|quoted text here}}

{{quote5|quoted text here}}

{{quote6|quoted text here}}

{{quote7|quoted text here}}

{{quote8|quoted text here}}

{{quote9|quoted text here}}
