| − | For example, <code><nowiki>{{url ref|url=http://inkthinker.deviantart.com/art/The-Way-of-Kings-Skyeels-180124400|text=Skyeel Illustration Description|site=[[Inkthinker]]'s DeviantArt}}</nowiki></code>, which produces the following in the references list:{{url ref|url=http://inkthinker.deviantart.com/art/The-Way-of-Kings-Skyeels-180124400|text=Skyeel Illustration Description|site=[[Inkthinker]]'s DeviantArt}} |

| − | Because this reference template often requires a large amount of text, it's better to replace <code><nowiki><references /></nowiki></code> with |
||
| − | |||
| − | <pre><references> |
||
| − | |||
| − | </references></pre> |
||
| − | |||
| − | and then place all url references between the <code><nowiki><references></nowiki></code> and <code><nowiki></references></nowiki></code> tags. When you do this, you should add <code>|name=''name''</code> to the url reference, where ''name'' is a unique identifier for the reference. Then, you will be able to cite this reference in the body of the article with {{t|ref|name=''name''}}. If you are citing the same url reference multiple times, you must use this method; otherwise it will result in a reference error because the template tries to create two references with the same name. |

| − | Technically, you could place the named url reference somewhere in the body of the article and then use {{t|ref}} to cite that reference elsewhere in the article. Most of the time, however, it's simpler and more elegant to just put the named url ref between the references tags and use {{t|ref}} everywhere in the article. |
