Template documentationThis template is intended to assist users at the help desk, AfC help desk, the Teahouse, for replying to {{Help me}} requests and at other fora, where the basics of providing inline citations needs to be explained. It provides a visual guide to inline citations that some users may respond better to than a text explanation alone.
Usage
- This template may be transcluded or substitutedby prefixing "subst:" inside the template code. Thus you may use {{subst:
Refref2}}rather than{{Refref2}}. However, given the quantity of code in this template, transclusion may be preferable to substitution. - The template does not include automatic signing. Please remember to sign by typing four tildes (~~~~) after the template syntax (or at the end of your accompanying post to which this template may be an add-on).
Sister template
This template is a more basic version of its sister template, {{Refref}}, which unlike this template:
- Provides a detailed text explanation above the (identical) visual elements; and
- Is hidden by default because of its significantly larger footprint.
For comparison, the sister template's output is shown below:
All information in Wikipedia articles should be In brief, anywhere you want a footnote to appear in a piece of text, you place an opening <ref> tag followed by the text of the citation which you want to appear at the bottom of the article, and close with a </ref> tag. Note the closing slash ("/"). For multiple use of a single reference, the opening ref tag is given a name, like so: <ref name="name"> followed by the citation text and a closing </ref> tag. Each time you want to use that footnote again, you simply use the first element with a slash, like so: <ref name="name" />. In order for these references to appear, you must tell the software where to display them, using either the code <references/> or, most commonly, the template, {{Reflist}} which can be modified to display the references in columns using {{Reflist|colwidth=30em}}. Per our style guidelines, the references should be displayed in a separate section denominated "References" located after the body of the article. | |
