- This is a test page by User:Ederchil. It is currently a hunting ground for the new references system.
A couple of ways to refer to books, articles, et cetera. Voice comments and concerns on the talk page. Page numbers et cetera serve as example
LotR
- Note: Disambiguated chapter titles such as Strider (chapter) are piped away.
50th Anniversary edition

- Note: Editors are separated from the author by a semi-colon.
Appendices
- J.R.R. Tolkien, The Lord of the Rings, Appendix A, I: The Númenorean Kings, iii: Eriador, Arnor, and the Heirs of Isildur
- Note: Even though they are published in The Return of the King in many editions, the Appendices are appended to The Lord of the Rings proper; they are, one might say, a fourth volume.

"Nomenclature"
