<ref> note goes here </ref>

Write something like:

Primary Address does not default to “3” in all cases! <ref> NMRA Standard S-9.x.x: Default address is …. </ref>

The last entry on the page should be “References”, as the system will generate a list by parsing the article’s <ref> tags.

If possible, use references to support statements, as this lends credibility to the article. Helps when busting a myth. And there are many.
