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

Other alternatives are available through {{Ref}}, {{Note}}, {{Ref label}}, {{Note label}}, {{Cref}}, {{Cnote}}, and so on. This template is the most comprehensive. Articles are often built upon precedent, how one article serves as an example for another. For a list of articles that use this template, see What Links Here.

This template is used in together with:

Template:Cref2
Template:Cnote2
Template:Cnote2 Begin
Template:Cnote2 End

Purpose

This template is used to supplement the <reference /> tag, which does not provide options for: (1) list style, (2) list sequence, (3) hidden groupings, and (4) nesting. It is designed for explanatory notes, however, it may also be used for referencing.

The Footnotes system now includes:

list style— WP:CITELABEL
groups— WP:REFGROUP
nesting— WP:REFNEST

Parameters

Cref2

Cref2 is placed inline with the text; there are three parameters. The first parameter is required, the last two are optional.

The first parameter is the target, and must correspond with the one used for Cnote2.
The second optional parameter specifies the occurrence; for example, some articles require more than one inline cref to be placed in the text. Number the Cref2 in the order that they occur, starting at one; the limit is six for style purposes.
The third optional parameter is the group from which the inline item belongs. For example, group of Cnote2 and Cref2, apply the group parameter to distinguish between each individual group.

{{Cref2|N}}

^[N]

If there are more than one Cref2 that needs to link to the "A" Cnote2, apply the second "occurrence" parameter.

first occurrence{{Cref2|A|1}} second occurrence{{Cref2|A|2}}

first occurrence^[A] second occurrence^[A]

If there are two groups of Cref2, you may either: (1) apply a slightly more descriptive "target", or (2) use the "group" parameter.

long target name;{{Cref2|nb N}} first group first occurrence;{{Cref2|N|group=1}}
second group first occurrence{{Cref2|N|1|group=2}} second{{Cref2|N|2|group=2}}

long target name;^{[nb N]} first group first occurrence;^[N] second group first occurrence^[N] second^[N]

Cnote2

Cnote2 has five parameters: (1) the target, (2) the text, (3) the number, (4) the value (5) the group. The first two are required. The last three are optional. Each Cnote2 may be separated by a maximum of one line of whitespace; smaller lists may not require this separation, larger more complex lists may benefit from greater readability.

The target, which comes first, specifies which inline item, and should correspond with the Cref2 it will be linking to. The text specifies the content of the note. If any of these two required parameters are empty, an error message will appear.

Occasionally an article may have multiple inline occurrences. For example, a reference or explanatory note may be used more than once. Cnote2 is different from Cref2. "n=" the number of occurrences of Cref2. For example, if there are two occurrences, then n=2. In some cases it may be desired to remove all links to an inline occurrence, similar to either turning off the "backlinks" in Cite.php, or giving the feel of a regular list; in these cases set n=0.

{{Cnote2 Begin}}
{{Cnote2|A|text text text text}}
{{Cnote2|B|2= do this if you need to use an equal sign}}
{{Cnote2|C|n=1|text text text text}}
{{Cnote2|D|n=6|text text text text}}
{{Cnote2|E|n=3|text text text text}}
{{Cnote2|F|n=0|text text text text}}
{{Cnote2 End}}

text text text text
^ ^{a b c}
text text text text
text text text text

The fourth parameter, value=, allows the editor to interrupt the sequence from which the listed items are numbered or lettered. For example, by default the order of list item goes A, B, C, D, E, F, G... or if the list style is numbered then 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7... Pass a positive non-zero integer into the value= to change this sequence. For example, if a 3 was passed into the second Cnote2 then the order would go A, C, D, E, F, G, H... or 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8...

{{Cnote2 Begin}}
{{Cnote2|G|n=3|value=7|text text text text}}
{{Cnote2|H|text text text text}}
{{Cnote2|I|n=2|text text text text}}
{{Cnote2|J|text text text text}}
{{Cnote2 End}}

^ ^{a b c}
text text text text

text text text text
^ ^{a b}

text text text text

Some very large articles require more than one Cnote2 or Cref2 list. This parameter, group= may be accomplished with a more descriptive target, however to (1) reduce potential confusion between lists and (2) remain consistent and not change the appearance of the inline cref. Pass a string of character or character into the group parameter.

text{{Cref2|A|group=1}} text{{Cref2|B|group=1}}
text{{Cref2|A|group=2}} text{{Cref2|B|group=2}}

{{Cnote2 Begin}}
{{Cnote2|A|group=1|text text text text}}
{{Cnote2|B|group=1|text text text text}}
{{Cnote2 End}}

{{Cnote2 Begin}}
{{Cnote2|A|n=3|group=2|text text text text}}
{{Cnote2|B|n=5|group=2|text text text text}}
{{Cnote2 End}}

Cnote2 Begin

Cnote2 Begin, similar to {{Refbegin}} has two parameters.

colwidth enter the width of the dynamic column, such as 30em; this only works for certain web browsers. (Note, rather than using colwidth, you can specify the number of columns exactly by replacing the colwidth=30em with either a "2" or "3".)
liststyle enter the list style you wish to use, the default is upper-alpha.

{{Cnote2 Begin|liststyle=upper-roman|colwidth=30em}}
{{Cnote2|I|text text text text|group=roman sample}}
{{Cnote2|II|text text text text|group=roman sample}}
{{Cnote2|III|text text text text|group=roman sample}}
{{Cnote2 End}}

Place {{Cnote2 End}} at the end of the Cnote2 list.

Example

Basic

The Cnote2 template system is used similar to the <reference /> tag. Place Cref2 inline and the Cnote2 in the standard appendicies. Remember to always keep Cnote2 in order, otherwise this may be confusing to the reader.

Multiple occurrences

References or explanatory notes should not be overused, the limit is six for style reasons. Often if the number of occurrences exceed six, editors often "turn-off the back links"; to do so in Cnote2 set n=0. This example demonstrates two occurrences and a possible use of whitespace.

Global warming is the increase in the average temperature of the
