The citation template then creates an anchor using an HTML id manually or automatically formatted as CITEREF followed by the author last name(s) and the year. For citations without an author, the anchor can be customized. Anchor support across citation templates is not standardized, and not all templates support anchors.

Wikicite is a free program that helps editors to create citations for their Wikipedia contributions using citation templates.It is written in Visual Basic .NET, making it suitable only for users with the .NET Framework installed on Windows, or, for other platforms, the Mono alternative framework.
Reference lists: You can make sure all references put between <ref> and </ref> are automatically put in the "References" section.

When your edit is saved, the text of citations within the body of the article will automatically appear in the References section. References added using the refToolbar can still be edited manually after they are added; details on how to manually create or edit references are discussed in the Manual Referencing section, in a later section.
