 Please keep the Notes/references header coding at the foot of the template, as this is where your references will automatically go. This piece of coding looks like this:
-<nowiki>==Notes==</nowiki>
+:<nowiki>==Notes==</nowiki>
-<nowiki><references/></nowiki>
+:<nowiki><references/></nowiki>
 Copy and paste your article into the template, with each section under the appropriate header. Put nothing in the Notes/references section as these will appear automatically once you have formatted your references in the body text.

+==Make links out of the names of people and organizations==
 The first time you mention a person or organisation in your article (other than the one your article is about), put their name in double square brackets [[    ]]. This will create a link to the page on that person or organisation, if such a page exists, enabling the reader to click on the name and be taken to the relevant page. For subsequent mentions, don't bother, as if there are too many links, we risk making the page look messy.
