• Alternatively, you can type directly: <ref>[[A Game of Thrones]], [[A Game of Thrones-Chapter 5|Chapter 5]], Jon I, page 45.</ref>
• Additionally, you can now add a third parameter as free text, which can be used to add the specific page for the reference, {{Ref|Book|chapter number|p. 233}}. For consistency sake the page should only of the marked version we use on the pages table.
• Note that all the book names were made case insensitive, to avoid typos, thus it doesn't really matter if you type AGOT, AgOT, agot etc...
