Cyber Nations Wiki:Citation

For the official Wikipedia policy on Citation see Wikipedia:Citing sources

This page in a nutshell: Add sources to document important events.

In terms of the Cyber Nations Wiki providing a citation or more broadly speaking, a reference, is the only way of officially documenting things such as; events, treaties, Declarations of War, Alliances disbanding, etc. on this Wiki.

Below are some examples of events that should have a citation/reference to verify their authenticity.

• Alliances disbanding
• Alliances merging
• Alliance formation
• Treaties between alliances
• Treaty announcements
• Treaty cancellations
• Declarations of War
• Declarations of Peace
• Bloc formations
• Blocs disbanding
• Other major events as deemed necessary by the community

Methods of adding Citations

Most simple method of adding non-wiki links

i.e. Internet pages (CN forums, Alliance forums etc.)

you simply type in [URL words after the first space are displayed on the wiki]

• Example below

[http://forums.cybernations.net/index.php?showtopic=50155 NOIR]

would display on the wiki as
NOIR

Linking to pages on other wikia sites

Syntax:

[[w:c: WIKIA TITLE HERE : Wikia article name that you are linking to | these words are displayed on the cn wiki page]]

example:

[[w:c:warhammer40k:Primarch|Primarch]]

Product: Primarch

Linking to Wikipedia

Syntax:

{{Wikipedia| Wikipedia article name that you are linking to | these words are displayed on the cn wiki page}}

example:

{{Wikipedia|Wikipedia:Citing sources|Wikipedia's policy on Citing sources}}

Product: Wikipedia's policy on Citing sources

Methods of adding References

For references which is another way of providing a reference for documentation you do the following

you simply do the following

<ref> url you are referencing goes here </ref>

and be sure to include <references/> at the very bottom of the wiki page and ALL reference's URLs made throughout the wiki article will be displayed there. If there are a plethora of references throughout a wiki article it is acceptable to create a standalone section at the very bottom of a wiki article where all references will be located.

It will look like this(below) when done correctly.

For this, he is being recognized in two ways. Well, three if you count Brennan's huggles.
