Template:Ref/Doc

Summary
This template is used to add citing references similar to the  tag, but only affects the pages directly using this template, not pages that transclude those.

Parameters
Either  or   must be specified.

Details
This template is built on and emulates the use of the Cite extension, but avoids the need of cluttering articles with   statements in the common case the references shouldn't show up on transcluding pages.

Usage of this template and  tags can be freely mixed, if desired. Pages using this must include a  tag or Reflist template somewhere to show a list of the references.

In the case that a transcluding page should show the references, this can be done by adding a  parameter to the transclusion.

Examples

 * &mdash; simple reference
 * &mdash; reference with an identifying name
 * &mdash; reference using the text of previous reference with the same name
 * &mdash; Unofficial lore reference
