You can cite the same source more than once on a page by using named footnotes. The syntax to define a named footnote is:
:{{tag|ref|params=name="<var>name</var>"|content=<var>content</var>}}

To invoke the named footnote:
:{{tag|ref|s|params=name="<var>name</var>"}}

{{refname rules}}

Note that the colon-followed-by-numeral names, like <code>":0"</code>, are currently [[Wikipedia:Village_pump_(technical)/Archive_173#VisualEditor_creating_bad_ref_names|generated by default]] in [[WP:VE|VisualEditor]].

{{reflist}}
}}

The actual name used can be almost anything, but it is recommended that it have a connection to the citation or note. A common practice is to use the author-year or publisher-year for the reference name. This helps editors remember the name, by associating it with the information that is visible to the reader.

Note that the footnote labels are incremented in the order they are used, and that they use the same label when reused, thus the labels can seem out of order:
{{markup
|<nowiki>This is starter content.<ref name="manchester2002">{{cite book|title=LibreOffice for Starters|edition=First|publisher=Flexible Minds|location=Manchester|year=2002|p=18}}</ref> This is expert content.<ref name="lexington2004">{{cite book|title=OpenOffice for Experts|publisher=Lexington|year=2004|p=18}}</ref> And more starter content.<ref name="manchester2002" /> And more expert content.<ref name="lexington2004" />
{{reflist}}</nowiki>
|This is starter content.<ref name="manchester2002">{{cite book|title=LibreOffice for Starters|edition=First|publisher=Flexible Minds|location=Manchester|year=2002|p=18}}</ref> This is expert content.<ref name="lexington2004">{{cite book|title=OpenOffice for Experts|publisher=Lexington|year=2004|p=18}}</ref> And more starter content.<ref name="manchester2002" /> And more expert content.<ref name="lexington2004" />
{{reflist}}
}}

When using both names and [[#Footnotes:_groups|groups]], the syntax is:
:{{tag|ref|params=group="<var>groupname</var>" name="<var>name</var>"|content=Content}}
Care should be taken when deleting references to avoid creating a cite error. See [[Wikipedia:Avoiding common mistakes#Deleting...|Avoiding common mistakes]].
