Hello Marika! Welcome to Wikipedia and our author team!
I'm really happy that you decided to join the project. I know that the first steps can be quite overwhelming, so here are some tipps to dive in:
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask. I hope, I can be of help.

This guide shows you the citation system that we use on Hanyu's page series. It is a bit more complex than some other alternatives, but it has the following great advantages:
Here is an example of a typical prose and reference section with the Wiki markup text on the left and the rendered output on the right:

We generally use the r-template for digital and the sfn-template for print sources. If you take a look at the examples in the right column, the templates are really friendly to use. There are optional parameters for quotes etc., but I want to limit this guide to the basic templates here.
Citation type | Template | Example |
---|---|---|
Online news article | ((r|IDYYMMDD)) |
((r|NA220720))
|
Book/magazine with known author | ((sfn|author last name|year|p=page)) |
((sfn|Russell|2022|p=22))
|
Magazine with unknown author | ((sfn|magazine name|year|p=page)) |
((sfn|Kiss & Cry|2021|p=8))
|
In the final output, these templates all render like this,[1] with an anchor link to the full source in the reference section. These inline citation anchors should generally be placed right after a punctuation with no spacing between them.
Here is an ID list for the most commonly used digital sources on Hanyu's page series:
Japanese newspapers | Other Japanese sources | International sources |
---|---|---|
|
|
|
Note: For sources like GQ, AERA, NHK, NBC or ISU the ID is identical to their standard abbreviation.
This is the general structure of the reference section in the Wiki markup text. The only thing for you to do here is to add new citation templates either with enclosing ref-tags (citation section) or with a preceding bullet (books/magazines section).
General structure of the reference section

==References== ===Citations=== ((reflist|refs= <!--Online news articles--> <ref name=IDYYMMDD>((Citation template for news article 1))</ref> <ref name=IDYYMMDD>((Citation template for news article 2))</ref> ... <!--General websites--> <ref name=ID>((Citation template for website 1))</ref> <ref name=ID>((Citation template for website 2))</ref> ... <!--Television productions--> <ref name=IDYYMMDD>((Citation template for TV production 1))</ref> <ref name=IDYYMMDD>((Citation template for TV production 2))</ref> ... )) ===Books and magazines cited=== ((refbegin)) * ((Citation template for print source 1)) * ((Citation template for print source 2)) * ... ((refend)) |
Note: Under "general websites" we usually list sources either with unknown publication date or regular updates. In Wiki articles like Hanyu's main bios page that use many official documents published by the ISU/JSF like competition protocols etc., these sources are listed separately.
Here is an overview of the five types of citation templates that we use. The table and the notes below are a bit overwhelming at first look, but don't be worried. When you have a source that you want to add, you choose the fitting citation type, copy the template, and select the fitting parameters for your source.

To close this citation guide, here are two typical examples for an online news article and print magazine article. You can see how the source code and the rendered output look side by side:
