Purpose

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>. See WP:REFNOTE for further information on explanatory notes.

This template uses the magic word {{#tag:ref}} to allow the Cite.php parser to pass wikimarkup.

Usage

{{refn|name=name|group=groupname|Reference or note including <ref></ref>}}

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

Names for footnotes and groups must follow these rules:

  • Names are case-sensitive
  • Names may not be a numeric integer
  • Quotes are optional if the only characters used are letters A–Z, a–z, digits 0–9 and the symbols !$%&()*,-.:;<@[]^_`{|}~
  • Inclusion of any other characters including spaces require that the name be enclosed in in straight quotes (")
  • Quote enclosed names may not include a less-than sign (<) or a quote symbol (")
It is recommended that names be kept simple and restricted to the standard English alphabet and numerals.

List defined references

Currently, this template may not be used more than once within list-defined references. Doing so will result in Cite errors; see সাঁচ:Bug.
