Quotes may not be used in values in {} therefore the name must comply with the rules for HTML ids. [3] Discuss the new style on the talk page and gain consensus. Create the style list at MediaWiki:cite_link_label_group-groupname. Ensure each label is separated with a space.
This is purely a source code change – the actual display of the citation in the text to a reader is unaffected. Note that the Visual Editor is unable to create or edit list-defined references, and cannot show the reference text in preview or in the list-creation dialog for re-use of references.

Using ref/note tags is not the only way to create footnotes. Cite.php (with which Reference Tooltips does work) is currently the preferred method of creating footnotes, especially when the number of footnotes increases and the size of the article (or the area in which footnotes are used) grows.

The Citation Style 1 and Citation Style 2 templates automatically create an anchor for an {} link, using the author last name and the year. An "anchor" is a landing place for a link to jump to.
