cite

Inline citation marker — superscript pill that anchors to the matching `#ref-<id>` entry in the references list.

On this page

The cite shortcode renders an inline citation marker — a small superscript pill that links to the matching entry in the page’s references list. On wiki pages, the id is usually a stable source ID from data/sources.json, so the marker and the reference entry stay aligned even when the list order changes.
