Purpose[edit source]

This template is used to create footnotes in Wikipedia, as an alternative and complement to the <syntaxhighlight lang="HTML" inline>Cite error: Closing </ref> missing for <ref> tag</syntaxhighlight> tags, including but not limited to the pipe trick, template substitution and another "nested" set of <syntaxhighlight lang="HTML" inline>^[1]</syntaxhighlight> tags. For example, the following does not work as expected:

<syntaxhighlight lang="HTML" inline>^[2]</syntaxhighlight> (Generates: [[Help:Footnotes|]] instead of a wikilink)
<syntaxhighlight lang="HTML" inline>^[3]</syntaxhighlight> (Generates: {{SUBST:TODAY}} instead of the date that the edit was made)
<syntaxhighlight lang="HTML" inline>Cite error: Closing </ref> missing for <ref> tag</ref></syntaxhighlight> (Generates: Cite error: A <ref> tag is missing the closing </ref> (see the help page). </ref>)

Replacing the outermost <syntaxhighlight lang="HTML" inline>^[4]</syntaxhighlight> set with {{Refn}} allows for the use of the markup elements listed above.

Usage[edit source]

{{refn|group=groupname|name=name|Contents of the footnote}}

groupname: Groupname per WP:REFGROUP; if not specified, then the main and nested references will be rendered into the same reference list
name: Reference name per WP:REFNAME

Names for footnotes and groups must follow these rules:

Names are case-sensitive. Please do not use raNdOM capitalization.
Names must not be purely numeric; the software will accept something like ":31337" (which is punctuation plus a number), but it will ignore "31337" (purely numeric).
Names should have semantic value, so that they can be more easily distinguished from each other by human editors who are looking at the wikitext. This means that ref names like "Nguyen 2010" are preferred to names like ":31337".
Names must be unique. You may not use the same name to define different groups or footnotes. Try to avoid picking a name that someone else is likely to choose for a new citation, such as ":0" or "NYT".
Please consider keeping reference names simple and restricted to the standard English alphabet and numerals. If spaces are used, the following technical restrictions become relevant:
- Quotation marks are preferred but optional if the only characters used are letters A–Z, a–z, digits 0–9, and the symbols !$%&()*,-.:;<@[]^_`{|}~. That is, all printable ASCII characters except #"'/=>?\.
- Inclusion of any other characters, including spaces, requires that the reference name be enclosed in quotes; for example, name="John Smith".
- The quote marks must be the standard, straight, double quotation marks ("); curly or other quotes will be parsed as part of the reference name.
- Quote-enclosed reference names may not include a less-than sign (<) or a double straight quote symbol ("). These may be escaped with < and ", respectively.{{#if: |

{{{2}}}}}

You may optionally provide reference names even when the reference name is not required. This makes later re-use of the sourced reference easier.

Substitution[edit source]

The first example shows that substitution does not work in a regular <syntaxhighlight lang="HTML" inline>^[1]</syntaxhighlight> tag (the |{{SAFESUBST:#if:access-date|access-date=}} does not appear correctly). The second example shows that the |{{SAFESUBST:#if:access-date|access-date=}} is substituted correctly within {{refn}}.

Errors[edit source]

If the reference or note content is missing, then Cite error: Invalid <ref> tag; refs with no name must have content. will be displayed.

If the note content contains an equals sign (=), the equals sign will be interpreted as setting off a named parameter and cause an error. This can be worked around by using a numbered parameter, for example:

{{#if: ||+ {{{title}}}}} {{#if: |

There are several predefined groups that can have a reference list styled so that the label (a superscripted character within square brackets, e.g., ^{[{{#ifeq:{{safesubst:#switch:}

|no
|n
|f
|false
|off
|0        = 
|         =

|t
|true
|on
|1        = yes
|#default = yes

}}|yes|}}]) of an explanatory note or citation (aka footnote, reference) matches and links to the note marker label located in the main text and the label in front of the note's text in the appropriate group's list. There can be more than one of these groups' lists in the Notes, References and other similarly purposed sections.

These predefined note and citation groups have templates that make the wikitext markup simpler. These templates also allow a standard reference to be inserted, so that an explanatory note can have a reference, or citations can be nested.

Note: If the note's text has a reference name that is used more than once, the labels will still match, but the clickable alpha characters that toggle the note's display will be next to the note's label, with links to the multiple locations of its marker in the main text. See WP:REFNAME and the first point below in § Issues.

Issues[edit source]

Multiple backlink labels (see WP:REFNAME) are always styled as lower-alpha. This can be confusing when {{#if:||}}{{[[{{#if:|{{{SISTER}}}Template|Template}}:efn|efn]]{{#if:||{{{2}}}}}{{#if:||{{{3}}}}}{{#if:||{{{4}}}}}{{#if:||{{{5}}}}}{{#if:||{{{6}}}}}{{#if:||{{{7}}}}}{{#if:||...}}}}{{#if:||}} is used. See the note in the introduction of this section, above.
The entries in the reference list will show the default decimal styling if:
- The value for |{{SAFESUBST:#if:group|group=}} in {{#if:||}}{{[[{{#if:|{{{SISTER}}}Template|Template}}:reflist|reflist]]{{#if:||{{{2}}}}}{{#if:||{{{3}}}}}{{#if:||{{{4}}}}}{{#if:||{{{5}}}}}{{#if:||{{{6}}}}}{{#if:||{{{7}}}}}{{#if:||...}}}}{{#if:||}} or {{#switch:s
