Line 9:

When editing a page using the popular footnotes style, inline citations are usually between <code><nowiki><ref></nowiki></code> and <code><nowiki></ref></nowiki></code> tags.

All the references then appear together on the page, wherever the {{tl|Reflist}} template or <code><nowiki><references /></nowiki></code> tag is present. This will usually be in a section titled "References". If you are creating a brand new page, or adding references to a page that didn't previously have any, don't forget to add a references section like the one below, or the citations you went to all that effort adding won't show up. See [[Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Layout#Order_of_sections|where to place it]].
