Definition, anywhere on article, likely ideally as the first usage:

<ref name="myname">{{cite web ...}}</ref>

And then you can use it later on as:

<ref name="myname" />

which automatically expands the exact same thing.

It appears to be impossible to reuse a book reference with different pages with that method however. This is then covered at: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citing_sources#Citing_multiple_pages_of_the_same_source.

<ref name="myname">{{cite web ...}}</ref>

and then use {{p}} as:

{{p|myname|p=123}}
