'''Contents:''' This section, or series of sections, may contain any or all of the following:

# [[WP:EXPLNOTE|Explanatory footnotes]] that give information which is too detailed or awkward to be in the body of the article,

# [[Wikipedia:WP:EXPLNOTE|Explanatory footnotes]] that give information which is too detailed or awkward to be in the body of the article,

# [[WP:INCITE|Citation footnotes]] (either short citations or full citations) that connect specific material in the article with specific sources,

# [[Wikipedia:WP:INCITE|Citation footnotes]] (either short citations or full citations) that connect specific material in the article with specific sources,

# Full citations to sources, if [[WP:CITESHORT|short citations]] are used in the footnotes

# Full citations to sources, if [[Wikipedia:WP:CITESHORT|short citations]] are used in the footnotes

# [[WP:CITE#General references|General references]] (full bibliographic citations to sources that were consulted in writing the article but that are not explicitly connected to any specific material in the article)

# [[Wikipedia:WP:CITE#General references|General references]] (full bibliographic citations to sources that were consulted in writing the article but that are not explicitly connected to any specific material in the article)

[[WP:CITEVAR|Editors may use any citation method they choose]], though the UniWiki does not require citation. All information contained on the UniWiki is assumed to be correct and verifiable, and should simply be edited if found to be otherwise.

If there are both citation footnotes and explanatory footnotes, then they may be combined in a single section, or separated ~~using the [[Help:Footnotes#Grouping footnotes|grouped footnotes]] function~~. General references and other full citations may similarly be either combined or separated (e.g. "References" and "General references"). There may therefore be one, two, three or four sections in all.

If there are both citation footnotes and explanatory footnotes, then they may be combined in a single section, or separated. General references and other full citations may similarly be either combined or separated (e.g. "References" and "General references"). There may therefore be one, two, three or four sections in all.

It is most common for only citation footnotes to be used, and therefore it is most common for only one section to be needed. Usually, if the sections are separated, then explanatory footnotes are listed first, short citations or other footnoted citations are next, and any full citations or general references are listed last.

Several alternate titles ("Sources", "Citations", "Bibliography") may also be used, although each is questionable in some contexts: "Sources" may be confused with [[source code]] in computer-related articles, product purchase locations, river origins, [[journalism sourcing]], etc.; "Citations" may be confused with official awards or a ~~summons to court; "Bibliography"~~ may ~~be confused with the complete list of printed works by the subject of a biography ("Works" or "Publications")~~.

Several alternate titles ("Sources", "Citations", "Bibliography") may also be used, although these terms carry a level of nuance that may sometimes render them inappropriate.

If multiple sections are wanted, then some possibilities include:
