Template:Refn
Jump to navigation

This template allows nested references where a reference is included inside a reference. This is mainly useful where content that would normally be in <ref>...</ref> tags is used as an explanatory note and requires a cite using <ref>...</ref>.
This template uses the magic word {{#tag:ref}} to allow the Cite parser to pass wiki markup.
Usage[edit]
{{refn|name=name|group=groupname|Reference or note including <ref></ref>}}
- name: Reference name per reference name
- groupname: Groupname per reference group; if not specified, then the main and nested references will be rendered into the same reference list
