<blockquote>There is good reason to believe that a general TSC is not only theoretically possible, but also practically achievable. Indeed, no serious scientist would ever take initial failures in finding regularities as a reason for despair. Physicists, for instance, do not stop searching for general laws when their initial attempts fail to produce the desired results. Likewise, no level of complexity or apparent disunity of historical episodes can justify the particularist abolition of the idea of a general TSC.[[CiteRef::Barseghyan (2015)]]</blockquote>
To make this work, the resource (- in this case <code><nowiki>Barseghyan (2015)</nowiki></code>) - should be properly defined using <code><nowiki>{{#scite}}</nowiki></code> template:
<syntaxhighlight lang="html4strict">
</syntaxhighlight>
Such <code><nowiki>{{#scite}}</nowiki></code> entries must be created for all cited resources. Although , in principle, these bibliographic entries can be inserted anywhere on any page of the pagewiki, we recommend placing them at the end best practice is to add all <code><nowiki>{{#scite}}</nowiki></code> entries the special [[Bibliography]] page of this encyclopedia. This helps ensure that:* no resource is defined twice in the article for encyclopedia;* authors can easily determine whether a certain resource has been already defined.To that end, it is instrumental that all <code><nowiki>{{#scite}}</nowiki></code> entries be defined in the sake of consistencyalphabetical order.
{{note}} |'''Note:''' The same resource '''should only be defined once''' throughout the encyclopedia. Once defined on any page of the encyclopedia, the resource can be cited '''throughout the encyclopedia regardless of where it was defined'''. For instance, the above resource is defined on this page but can be referenced from any page of the encyclopedia as <code><nowiki>[[CiteRef::Barseghyan (2015)]]</nowiki></code>. {{note|reminder}} The <code><nowiki>[[CiteRef...]]</nowiki></code> tag is Case Sensitive. Thus, <code><nowiki>[[Citeref...]]</nowiki></code> tag won't work.
Different types of resources require slightly different templates. At this moment the following templates are in use:
== Indicating the Page Number ==
To indicate a specific page of the citation, please add <code><nowiki>|p.<pagenumber></nowiki></code> to the <code><nowiki>[[CiteRef...]]</nowiki></code> annotation. For example, <code><nowiki>[[CiteRef::Barseghyan (2015)|p. xii]]</nowiki></code> will produce this result: [[CiteRef::Barseghyan (2015)|p. xii]]. For references to '''multiple pages''', please use <code><nowiki>|pp.</nowiki></code> instead of <code><nowiki>|p.</nowiki></code>, e.g. <code><nowiki>[[CiteRef::Barseghyan (2015)|pp. 1-3]]</nowiki></code>:[[CiteRef::Barseghyan (2015)|pp. 1-3]] {{note}} There should be '''no space''' between <code><nowiki>|</nowiki></code> and <code><nowiki>p.</nowiki></code>, but there must be a space ''before'' the page number. Thus, <code><nowiki>[[CiteRef::Barseghyan (2015)| p.xii]]</nowiki></code> is incorrect, while <code><nowiki>[[CiteRef::Barseghyan (2015)|p. xii]]</nowiki></code> is correct.
== Multiple Authors ==
The encyclopedia will automatically add '''References''' section to the bottom of the page. If the position of this section needs to be changed, insert <code><nowiki>{{#referencelist:}}</nowiki></code> at the desired location.
In most cases, '''References''' should be the last section on the page. That is the default behavior if no <code><nowiki>{{#referencelist:}}</nowiki></code> is inserted on the page. So please '''do not insert''' any <code><nowiki>{{#referencelist:}}</nowiki></code> unless you absolutely need to move the '''References''' section from its default location at the bottom of the page.
== Common Errors ==
=== Multiple Definitions ===
Each resource must be defined precisely once throughout the whole encyclopedia. Defining the same resource more than once can lead to unwanted consequences. To avoid that, please make sure that the resource you are about to define as an <code><nowiki>{{#scite}}</nowiki></code> entry doesn't exist.
=== wRong cAse ===
{{note}} The <code><nowiki>[[CiteRef...]]</nowiki></code> tag is Case Sensitive. Thus, <code><nowiki>[[Citeref...]]</nowiki></code> tag won't work. Similarly, <code><nowiki>[[CiteRef::barseghyan (2015)]]</nowiki></code> won't work.
=== Beware of Spaces ===
{{note}} There is no space after <code><nowiki>::</nowiki></code>. Thus, <code><nowiki>[[CiteRef:: Bird (2013)]]</nowiki></code> is invalid. The valid markup is <code><nowiki>[[CiteRef::Bird (2013)]]</nowiki></code>.
