I think this is useful, as guidance for intermediate users, rather than complete beginners. It looks most readable if references are done in this way. There are also the quote and quotation templates which we could suggest to people as just as easy if not easier than doing things their own way. However, other parts of this page probably just get in the way.

our practice has been simple, and I don't think needs complications, i.e.
- use authors on top
- add (source) at bottom of citation
