Having edited[1] quite a few documents on Wikipedia, I have to put in a bid for a standardised way on including references within a wiki. This ought to be something simple ??How not to create a standard by M.S.Wolf??.

(1) How not to create a standard by M.S.Wolf.
-- [[Isonomia]] 2007, Apr, 28
Wikipedia uses a system that is far from fathomable. At the point of citation in the main text, enter the reference or footnote like this:
{{{ <ref>Excel For Dummies, First Edition, Hungry Minds, Inc., 1980.</ref> }}}
To cite the same reference or footnote several times, identify it using the name parameter of the <ref> tag:
{{{ <ref name="Perry">Perry's Handbook, Sixth Edition, McGraw-Hill Co., 1984.</ref> }}}
Then, at all the other citation points just enter:
{{{ <ref name="Perry"/> }}}
At the point where you want the text of the footnotes or references to appear (usually at the end of the article in a "Notes" or "References" section), insert the tag:
{{{ <references/> }}}
Which produces a list:
# ^ Wiki For Dummies, First Edition, Hungry Minds, Inc., 1980.
# ^ Excel For Dummies, First Edition, Hungry Minds, Inc., 1980.
Personally, I would refer something like
This is second [2] reference the first being on the top line to show the link, this is the third[3] reference
A lot of text ....A lot of text ....A lot of text ....A lot of text ....A lot of text ....A lot of text ....A lot of text ....A lot of text ....A lot of text ....A lot of text ....A lot of text ....A lot of text ....A lot of text ....A lot of text ....A lot of text ....A lot of text ....A lot of text ....A lot of text ....A lot of text ....A lot of text ....A lot of text ....A lot of text ....A lot of text ....A lot of text ....A lot of text ....A lot of text ....A lot of text ....A lot of text
* [#1] This first reference info, Hungry Minds, Inc., 1980.]
* [#2] The second reference info, Hound dog deniers Inc., 1580.]
* [#3] The third reference info,1180.]
Which is exactly what this wiki [http://www.jspwiki.org/wiki/TextFormattingRules#ref-TextFormattingRules-1] does with the following reproduced text :-
{{{This is second [2] reference the first being on the top line to show the link, this is the third[3] reference
A lot of text ....
* [#1] This first reference info, Hungry Minds, Inc., 1980.]
* [#2] The second reference info, Hound dog deniers Inc., 1580.]
* [#3] The third reference info,1180.] }}}
