+The buttons for placing a reference come in two flavors:
-# Button 'R' (included by default) includes the basic reference tags.
+# Button 'R' adds basic reference tags to some selected text.
-# Button 'R1', 'R2' and 'R3' allow you to build up a reference in parts. R1 starts a reference, R2 lets you add the reference material and R3 finishes the reference. You are likely to want all three of these buttons or none of them.
+# Button 'R1' calls up a dialog to create a named reference (names are used for referring [[wikipedia:Wikipedia:Referencing_for_beginners#Same_reference_used_more_than_once|more than once]] to the same material).
+'R2' is used for placing the footer at the bottom of an article that lists all the footnotes based on the article's ref tags.
