== People pages ==
* Use a redirect to a page under User: namespace if you wrote it yourself, and then edit your own user page. (you can do this by typing <nowiki>"#REDIRECT [[User:YourName]]"</nowiki> on the page.) This allows your contributions to appear on the top of that page for convenience.
* Use first person if you wrote it yourself, third person if it's for someone long dead or unwilling to write themselves.
* Please do not write a page for someone that does not want to be mentioned.
== References guide ==
References should be added to a page in the source mode editor. They are placed under the header "References", which should be added at the bottom of the page. Citation templates should be used for the references. An example:
<code><nowiki>
== References ==
</nowiki></code>
<code><nowiki>
{{reflist|refs=
</nowiki></code>
<code><nowiki>
<ref name="abc">{{cite book |title=Title}}</ref>
</nowiki></code>
<code><nowiki>
<ref name="def">{{cite web |website=Reddit}}</ref>
</nowiki></code>
<code><nowiki>
}}
</nowiki></code>
For attaching a citation to a needed place on the page, the next syntax should be used:
<code><nowiki>
This is a phrase.<ref name="abc" /> Text continues here.
</nowiki></code>
Such citation style makes translation of the pages easier, as well as readability of their source in general.
Further information can be found on the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_templates Citation templates] wikipedia page. More examples can be seen on the other pages using the source mode editor.
