Forums: Helping Hand > How do you cite the same source multiple times, identifying different pages?
I'm trying to cite the specific pages I'm finding information for the Lords' Alliance article. So I have two different locations for the FRCS and have several page references from Volo's Guide to the North.

No problem, just put the actual reference where you want the [1] to appear on the page, like this (in my example I'm citing page 54):
<ref>{{Cite book/Volo's Guide to the North|54}}</ref>
Then, if you want to cite page 55 later in the article, again, put this where you want the [2] to appear (note the different page number):
<ref>{{Cite book/Volo's Guide to the North|55}}</ref>
Then finally, at the end of the article, create a notes section that will automatically generate your references, like this:
==Notes== <references />
If you want to use the same citation in different places in the same article, you'll need to give it a name the first time you use it, like this:
<ref name="MyRef1">{{Cite book/Volo's Guide to the North|16}}</ref>
Then, every time you want to use it again in the same article (you can use it again as many times as you like) you would put this:
<ref name="MyRef1" />
If you need to see a working example, please edit the Cormanthor page and see the wiki markup I've used there. Good luck!
