   Format: MarkdownItex@Urs: I noticed the formatting of the reference was changed slightly. Is there a preferred referencing style on the nLab? The [[HowTo]] page currently suggests using: * {#LastnameAnotherlastnameYear} [[Firstname Lastname]], [[Anotherfirstname Anotherlastname]], _Title_, Journal, volume, year ([arXiv:xxxx.yyyyy](https://arxiv.org/abs/xxxx.yyyyy), [doi:xyz](http://doi.xyz)) And this does not appear to be very different to what I originally added. I would rather not create extra work for people when making edits, so if there is a standard format it would be good to be aware of it. I also frequently come across pages where the references have very few details, and I feel like "tidying" them up, and so having a preferred format would also be useful in this instance.

   Format: MarkdownItexRight, thanks for saying. I didn't remember that the HowTo page has a prescription for formatting references. Since a while now I have been doing the format > * [[HowTo|Firstname Lastname]], _Title_, Journal **volume** issue (year) firstpage-lastpage [[arXiv:xxxx.yyyyy](https://arxiv.org/abs/xxxx.yyyyy), [doi:xyz](http://doi.xyz)] which is meant to be both more complete and more concise (the square brackets such as to avoid consecutive parenthesis of the same type when there is no page number) I have taken the liberty of adjusting at *HowTo* ([here](https://ncatlab.org/nlab/show/HowTo#HowToCiteAndRecordReferences)). Of course, the exact formatting is not all that important. It's maybe just me being overly pedantic. But what I would like to ask you to do is make sure to copy each bibitem you add to an entry also to the corresponding authors' pages, under "Selected writings", whith a brief line that points back to the relevant entries. In the long run, this cross-linking will be hugely useful.

   • Firstname Lastname, Title, Journal volume issue (year) firstpage-lastpage [arXiv:xxxx.yyyyy, doi:xyz]
