Line 44:
When referencing material from a rather extensive book, I included specific page number to make it possible for others to find the specific statements that are relevant for this article. This explanatory text was, however, removed by a previous editor. Does anyone know about a better way of inserting explicit page and section references, e.g. on the form (Author 2010; section 9.5), when referencing a particular section or page in a book?

* Sorry about that,too. Page and section references can often be better obtained from the book index and table-of-contents, or (for online reading) with search tools; so the value for readers who may want to check them should be weighted against the cost of cluttering the reference list with extra entries.<br/> An alternative to creating a separate <nowiki><ref>...</ref></nowiki> is the [[:Template:rp|"rp" template]]: the call <nowiki>{{rp|ch.23}}</nowiki> after the <nowiki></ref></nowiki> generates a superscript annotation, as in <sup>[1]</sup>{{rp|ch.23}}.
