Need help with inline reference

Question

I'm using inline references and I want to use the same reference more than once in the bio. Can I do that without repeating it over and over?  How do you keep using the same one without making a bunch of lines of the same info?  THANKS.

From http://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Sources

 

Repeated use of the same source in the same profile

Here's how to use the same source citation multiple times. The first time you use it, include a "name" inside the ref tag, like this:

<ref name="birth certificate">Birth Certificate of George Russell Beebe, Registration 398-5554-428 (1920), Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services - Bureau of Vital Records, Personal copy in the files of [[Beebe-655|Barbara Beebe]]</ref>

In all following references you can just use this:

<ref name="birth certificate" />

Done this way, all subsequent footnotes for this same source will point to the same footnote at the bottom of the page.

Natalie, this looks good. I have just one suggestion-- more details about the obituary. Include the name of the publication and date published. Just in case the website changes.
