Hi, I'm Honeyfur, an administrator and bureaucrat on The Lion King Wikia, and I have a question regarding references. If you have two pieces of information that can be cited to the same source, how do you incorporate them together, as opposed to having the same source listed twice in the references? Thanks! --[[User:Honeyfur|<span style="color:#ff3700;font-family:Goudy Old Style"><big>'''Honeyfur'''</big></span>]]<sup>[[User Talk:Honeyfur|<span style="font-family:Cataneo BT;color:#ff8800;"> '''Hakuna Matata'''</span>]]</sup> 19:13, June 10, 2012 (UTC)

Use <nowiki><ref name="ReferenceNameHere">Reference link here</ref></nowiki> for the first piece of information, then use <nowiki><ref name="ReferenceNameHere></nowiki> for each subsequent one. --[[User:Klock101|Klock101]] 19:19, June 10, 2012 (UTC)

Use <ref name="ReferenceNameHere">Reference link here</ref> for the first piece of information, then use <ref name="ReferenceNameHere> for each subsequent one. --Klock101 19:19, June 10, 2012 (UTC)
