		+	The names of authors and the titles of sources should not be abbreviated.
		+
		+	The following abbreviations, however, should be used:

Marcus Octavius Gracchus: new

new

New page

Sources for historical facts - and [[Nova Roma]] events - should be cited.<ref>This is an example</ref>

Our citation method is to use the MediaWiki '''Cite''' extension.<ref>http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Cite/Cite.php</ref>.

==How to use '''Cite'''==

There are two steps involved:
# put '''ref''' tags in the text where a footnote appears, surrounding the footnote text; it will be replaced with superscript numbers that link to the references section.
# put a '''references''' tag somewhere else on the page, where the references should appear - generally this would be in a section called "References".

<nowiki>This is some example text. <ref>This is the footnote - it will not appear here, but rather at the end of the page.</ref></nowiki>

<nowiki>
==References===
<references/> This is where the references will appear, at the location of the '''references''' tag.
</nowiki>
