This example uses Footnotes. This example is the most basic and includes unique references for each citation, showing the page numbers in the reference list. This repeats the citation, changing the page number. A disadvantage is that this can create a lot of redundant text in the reference list when a source is cited many times. So consider ...
When there are citations that differ only in page number, there are two alternatives: write all the citations out in full, including the page number, or use one citation without page numbers along with the {} template to add an inline page number after the small bracketed footnote number. Footnotes with list-defined references.

The second example explains how to build identical references, referring to the same footnote, using the ref label and note label templates for additional references to a ref/note footnote. The third example is a combination of the two, but with the multiple references made only within the footnotes section for easier maintenance by editors and ...
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 ("References") to be needed.
