Template:Ref/Doc
Summary[edit]
This template is used to add citing references similar to the <ref> tag, but only affects the pages directly using this template, not pages that transclude those.
Parameters[edit]
| Parameter | Scope | Description |
|---|---|---|
| name | optional | identifier for the reference |
| group | optional | reference group |
| 1 | optional | text showing up in the references section |
Either name or 1 must be specified.
Details[edit]
This template is built on and emulates the use of the Cite extension, but avoids the need of cluttering articles with <noinclude> statements in the common case the references shouldn't show up on transcluding pages.
Usage of this template and <ref> tags can be freely mixed, if desired. Pages using this must include a <references/> 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 |showrefs=1 parameter to the transclusion.
Examples[edit]
{{ref|text}}— simple reference{{ref|name=desc|text}}— reference with an identifying name{{ref|name=desc}}— reference using the text of previous reference with the same name{{ref|group=UOL|[http://www.imperial-library.info/ Imperial Library]}}— Unofficial lore reference
