To do this within the wiki format, you need to choose an existing page to create the link.  Normally, you will enter it into the listing of all references on the [[Cybersecurity Annotated Bibliography]].  Enter a new table entry in the correct alphabetical order by first (if more than one) author's last name (see next paragraph). The initial entry does not have to be complete (since some information will not yet be available such as level of expertise), however leave blank table entries ("|  |") for missing data.

Add the Synopsis. The goal is not merely to summarize the subject matter of the reference; rather, the synopsis should also summarize the author's conclusions as well.  Typically this will be equivalent to an executive summary, and that section of the reference, if available, can provide the basis of the synopsis.  Alternately, quoted opening or conclusion paragraphs from the reference may form the basis for the synopsis.  Feel free to use wiki section headings "===", "====", etc. to provide clarity to the synopsis.

This is a subjective measure.  "None" means a person with a college education but no specific expertise in the subject matter of the reference would be able to understand it.  "High" suggests that a great deal of knowledge in the subject matter is required, possibly because of extensive mathematical equations or jargon filled discussion.

(Note that on the reference page, each expertise entry is ordered with subject matter first followed by level required; however, in the TOC, the highest level of competence is always placed first to allow the user to sort on that parameter.)
