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.

{{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

List defined references

ସମ୍ପାଦନା

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.
