:Hey! Citing sources is fairly easy, all you'd need to do is as follows; copy the following code - <code><nowiki>{{Ref/Novel|Id=HO4|HO|Chapter=4}}</nowiki></code>. In this case, the reference template is referencing Halo: Oblivion, as denoted by the <code>HO</code> parameter, and obviously you'd just need to change the chapter number to the relevant chapter your info comes from. We don't use page numbers now as reprints change the page numbers between editions.

:The <code>Id=HO4</code> is just a paramater you can set so you can reuse references instead of having to re-type all this out. In this case, you can type <code><nowiki>{{Ref/Reuse|HO4}}</nowiki></code> to call the reference again (and the HO4 identifier can be anything you want, just make it descriptive!). Check out the [[Super Spirit]] page to see examples in use.

Awesome. I figured it out! I will try to contribute to Combat Bridging Vehicle and Umbra as well. Thanks!--[[User:AdmiralPedro1stFleet|AdmiralPedro1stFleet]] ([[User talk:AdmiralPedro1stFleet|talk]]) 15:44, October 12, 2020 (EDT)
:No worries. One minor question though - does the original text capitalise each word of "Combat Support Vehicle", or does it render as "combat support vehicle"? Just a minor point, as if it's the latter I'll move the article to that name.[[User:BaconShelf|BaconShelf]] ([[User talk:BaconShelf|talk]]) 15:45, October 12, 2020 (EDT)
 
I understand. It reads "Combat support vehicle" at its first mention and is then all lower case after that.--[[User:AdmiralPedro1stFleet|AdmiralPedro1stFleet]] ([[User talk:AdmiralPedro1stFleet|talk]]) 18:35, October 12, 2020 (EDT)
