Re: Referencing
HI, thought I'd chuck this here rather than on the forum for you. Tardis:Manual_of_style explains it all. Aside from the sheer number of varied sources (just take a look at the Tardis:List of Prefixes or Tardis:Canon policy, we're not the only wikia that uses this system(s) (I've often read through articles on wikipedia that uses a combination of the author date and footnote systems). So basically we use the brackets and citation within the body (similar to the author date system) within the body of articles for in-universe articles while we use the footnote system for out-of-universe articles (which means our out-of-universe articles do share a familiar feel to them as wikipedia does).

As a result of some other quirks (mainly on TV, novel and audio drama etc pages) which has a section called 'references' (denoting references to in-universe stuff) the space for the reflist on out-of-universe articles is called 'Footnotes'. Hope this has made everything less murky, feel free to leave any questions on my talk page. --Tangerineduel 04:31, 30 May 2009 (UTC)
