==Examples==

:{{cite web|url= https://bleistift.blog |title= Bleistift Blog Landing Page |site= Bleistift Blog }}


<pre><ref>{{Cite web|quote= Hello world!|author= John Smith |published= May 13, 2001 |retrieved= July 24, 2009 |url= http://testing.org/ |title= Hello! |site= Testing.Org}}</ref></pre>

:{{Cite web|quote= Hello world!|author= John Smith |published= May 13, 2001 |retrieved= July 24, 2009 |url= http://testing.org/hello.png |title= Hello! |site= Testing.Org}}

==Repeated citations==

For multiple use of the same inline citation or footnote, you can use the named references feature, choosing a name to identify the inline citation, and typing 
<pre><ref name="name">text of the citation</ref></pre>
Thereafter, the same named reference may be reused any number of times either before or after the defining use by typing just 
<pre><ref name="name" /></pre>
The use of the slash before the > means that the tag is self-closing, and the </ref> used to close other references must not be used in addition.
