A template window then pops up, where you fill in as much information as possible about the source, and give a unique name for it in the "Ref name" field.

A content note generally contains useful information and explanations that do not fit into the primary text itself. Content notes may be given as footnotes or endnotes or even a combination of both footnotes and endnotes. Such content notes may themselves contain a style of parenthetical referencing, just as the main text does.
In publishing, a note is a brief text in which the author comments on the subject and themes of the book and names supporting citations.In the editorial production of books and documents, typographically, a note is usually several lines of text at the bottom of the page, at the end of a chapter, at the end of a volume, or a house-style typographic usage throughout the text.

Please see the sample page for a full mock-up of this proposal.. Adding a footnote to an article for a primary-source document presents at least three challenges: how to position and format the footnote within the article, how to position the list of references with image citations, and what bibliographic style to use for the citations.
This page explains how to create the Footnotes section for Wikipedia articles. In this context, the word "Footnotes" refers to the Wikipedia-specific manner of documenting an article's sources and providing tangential information, and should not be confused with the general concept of footnotes.
