Purpose ပြင်ဆင်ရန်

This template is used to create footnotes in Wikipedia, as an alternative and complement to the <ref> tag. Because of a technical limitation, some of the standard Wikipedia markup elements that are often used in the article prose do not work within a set of <ref>...</ref> tags, including but not limited to the pipe trick, template substitution and another "nested" set of <ref>...</ref> tags. For example, the following does not work as expected:

  1. <ref>[[Help:Footnotes|]]</ref> Generates: [[Help:Footnotes|]] instead of a wikilink.
  2. <ref>{{SUBST:TODAY}}</ref> Generates: {{SUBST:TODAY}} instead of the date that the edit was made.
  3. <ref>Explanatory footnote<ref>Citation</ref></ref> Generates: Closing </ref> missing for <ref> tag

Replacing the outermost <ref>...</ref> set with {{Refn}} allows for the use of the markup elements listed above.

Usage ပြင်ဆင်ရန်

{{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

Substitution ပြင်ဆင်ရန်

The first example shows that substitution does not work in a regular <ref>...</ref> tag (the accessdate does not appear correctly). The second example shows that the accessdate is substituted correctly within {{refn}}.

Errors ပြင်ဆင်ရန်

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

List defined references ပြင်ဆင်ရန်

Currently, this template may not be used more than once within list-defined references. Doing so will result in Cite errors; see bug 20707http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=20707.
