This page explains how to create the '''Footnotes''' section for Wikipedia articles. In this context, the word "Footnotes" refers to the Wikipedia-specific manner of documenting an article's sources and providing tangential information, and should not be confused with the general concept of [[Note (typography)|footnotes]]. This how-to does not cover the formatting of citations within the Footnotes section, which is reviewed in [[Wikipedia:Citing sources|Citing sources]].
Footnotes are used most commonly to provide:
* [[Wikipedia:Citing sources|references (bibliographic citations) to reliable sources]],
* explanatory information or
* source information for tables and other elements.
The use of Footnotes is only one of several options for providing source information in the article. Other systems of inline citation, including {{sfnote}} and {{paren}}, may be used at the editor's discretion in accordance with the guideline on [[WP:CITEVAR|Variation in citation methods]].
