For each bit of text that you want annotated with a footnote, paste the following code:
<ref>[http://www.sourceURL.com
Text linked to the source URL, if any is desired.]</ref>
and then at the end of the passage that contains the footnotes, add this code:
{{References|
|title=Notes
}}
Instead of “Notes,” you may use “Source,” “Sources,” “References,” or whatever other term you think is appropriate to describe the citations that follow.

Here’s a sample footnoted passage:
; Runcible : adj., slotted or perforated (as a spoon) (from
[http://www.nonsenselit.org/Lear/ns/pussy.html The Owl
and The Pussycat], by [[They Might As Well Have Been
Gumnicks|Edward Lear]])
'''Note:''' Gumnicks have this word defined differently from
the rest of the world where a runcible spoon is actually a
curved fork. —[[User:Bob|Bob]]<ref>[http://en.wikipedia.org/
wiki/Runcible_spoon runcible spoon]</ref>
But we’re in good company, since the site referenced above
says, “Lear does not appear to have had any firm idea of
what the word ‘runcible’ means.” Anyway, why do you
always have to be so scroobious? —[[User:Ed|Ed]]
<ref>[http://www.nonsenselit.org/Lear/pw/pip.html scroobious]</ref>
{{References|
|title=Source
}}
which produces this:
| ; Runcible : adj., slotted or perforated (as a spoon) (from
[http://www.nonsenselit.org/Lear/ns/pussy.html The Owl
and The Pussycat], by [[They Might As Well Have Been
Gumnicks|Edward Lear]])
Note: Gumnicks have this word defined differently from
the rest of the world where a runcible spoon is actually a
curved fork. —Bob[1]
