Footnotes/References
Numbering is generated automatically.
To create a footnote or reference, use this format:

Article text.<ref name="test">[http://www.example.org Link text], additional text.</ref>

Article text.<ref name="test">Link text, additional text.</ref>
To reuse the same note, reuse the name with a trailing slash:

Article text.<ref name="test" />

To display notes, add either of these lines to the References section:

<references/>
Template:Tl


<references />
Section headings<ref name="firstline">Applies only at the very beginning of lines.</ref>
A Table of Contents will automatically be generated when four headings are added to an article.

(=Level 1= is used only for a page's title, and is generated automatically.)
== Level 2 ==
=== Level 3 ===
==== Level 4 ====
