LIMSWiki:Citation guidelines
Like Wikipedia, LIMSWiki has several ways for an editor to add citations to article content. However, all in-line citations (citations directly in the text of an article) require reference tags as such:
<ref> ''your citation code'' </ref>
Below are the currently available citation templates available. More may be added at a later date.

For more detailed information on the available parameters for citations, please read the documentation on each citation template. |
