This is how to code the edit page of an article using List-Defined Reference:

The Sun is a large dwarf star<ref name=Jones2005p23/ > in our solar system which has 8 planets and other celestial bodies revolving around it.<ref name=Jones2005p35/ > It is extremely hot, with surface temperatures in excess of 5,000 °C and a central core temperature greater than 10,000,000 °C.<ref name=Jones2005p23/ >

Since the Sun is about 150,000,000 kilometers from the Earth,<ref name=Jones2005p35/ > only a very small amount of its heat and light reach the Earth. By contrast, the Earth's moon is very much smaller and very much colder.<ref name=Kelly2001/ >

This is what the above coding produces on the article page:

The Sun is a large dwarf star in our solar system which has 8 planets and other celestial bodies revolving around it. It is extremely hot, with surface temperatures in excess of 5,000 °C and a central core temperature greater than 10,000,000 °C.

Since the Sun is about 150,000,000 kilometers from the Earth, only a very small amount of its heat and light reach the Earth. By contrast, the Earth's moon is very much smaller and very much colder.
