This is how the categorization works:
 * Currently there are four types of references defined: Web Reference, Journal Reference, Book Reference and News Reference. Apart from that there is always a generic "default" type, which is simply named Reference.
 * Technically speaking, the type of a reference is defined by CSS-classes, e.g. $citeclass for journal references. These classes are set in the $cite element in a reference's content (more info).
 * On most wikis, you can assign a class to a reference by using templates. For example, the English  templates specify their respective class already. Classes can be added to other templates as well.
 * Alternatively, you can add a cite class directly into a ref tag, e.g. $refExample1.
 * References without cite tags and classes (e.g. plain $refExample1 tags) are shown as "Reference".
