ଛାଞ୍ଚ:Refn

Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

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

• 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

Another example. A third example. Repeating the first example. Notes References

Errors

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

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.
