A citation on the DC Database is a reference to the published source, (though not always the original source). A source could be the comic, film, tv show, or website the fact originally came from. Citations should supply sufficient detail to identify the item uniquely.

Once the source is found, {{Citation}} or {{citation}} should be replaced with <ref>Link to the source</ref>.
