How to ReferenceEdit

Single ReferenceEdit

Here is an example of a properly referenced sentence would look like:

• "Sonic lost his Uncle Chuck and dog Muttski to Dr. Robotnik shortly before becoming a Freedom Fighter." (OSM: #0)

This is how you would type it out:

• "Sonic lost his Uncle Chuck and dog Muttski to Dr. Robotnik shortly before becoming a Freedom Fighter." ([[Original Sonic Miniseries|OSM]]: [[Archie Sonic Miniseries Issue 0|#0]])

Multiple ReferenceEdit

If you require citing two (or more) seperate sources, this is what it would look like:

• "Knuckles first encountered Mammoth Mogul after the latter drained the energy from the being known as Enerjak. Sonic, Knuckles and Tails teamed up to fight and defeat Mogul in their super forms." (StH: #56, KtE: #9)

And how you would type it:

• "Knuckles first encountered Mammoth Mogul after the latter drained the energy from the being known as Enerjak. Sonic, Knuckles and Tails teamed up to fight and defeat Mogul in their super forms." ([[Archie Sonic the Hedgehog|StH]]: [[Archie Sonic the Hedgehog Issue 56|#56]], [[Archie Knuckles the Echidna|KtE]]: [[Archie Knuckles the Echidna Issue 9|#9]])

Another example with issues from different series and specials:

• "Metal Sonic first encountered Sonic the Hedgehog in the Collision Chaos Zone. He later combated Knuckles the Echidna at Renfield T. Rodent's amusement park. Years later, Metal Sonic managed to capture Sonic and bring him back to Dr. Eggman so he could be controlled. (StH: #25, FCS: #1, KCX)

And how you would type it:

• "Metal Sonic first encountered Sonic the Hedgehog in the Collision Chaos Zone. He later combated Knuckles the Echidna at Renfield T. Rodent's amusement park.
