How do I cite sources? There is no clear, concise

able to find.
In short, can reference templates and the <ref> tag be used together?
IMHO,
the ideal method of citation would allow you to do something like
this:
[almost perfect example of how <ref> tags work snipped]
...but I'm asking a lot. :)
Erm...
You need to run to this page:

I am very, very pleasantly surprised :) I think I must have looked at
an earlier version of how the ref tags worked and they weren't quite
as advanced. Or I'm just losing my marbles.
Huh. It does work! Strange.. either I'm losing my marbles too
(probably) or something i tried earlier doesn't work.
Example:
A trillion articles is a million<ref name="million">{{news reference
|url=http://it.slashdot.org/it/06/03/02/006208.shtml
|org=Slashdot
|title=Wikipedia Reaches 1,000,000 Articles
|date=March 1, 2006
}}</ref> million<ref name="million" /> articles.
