قالب:Refn
Template documentationPurpose
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|name=name|group=groupname|Reference or note including <ref></ref>}}
- name: Reference name per WP:REFNAME
- groupname: Groupname per WP:REFGROUP; if not specified, then the main and nested references will be rendered into the same reference list
Names for footnotes and groups must follow these rules:
- Names are case-sensitive
- Names may not be purely numeric
- Names must be unique— you cannot use the same name to define different groups or footnotes
- Quotes are optional if the only characters used are letters A–Z, a–z, digits 0–9 and the symbols
!$%&()*,-.:;<@[]^_`{|}~ - Inclusion of any other characters including spaces requires that the name be enclosed in straight quotes (")
- Quote-enclosed names may not include a less-than sign (<) or a quote symbol (")
- Please consider keeping names simple and restricted to the standard English alphabet and numerals.
- You may optionally provide names even when the name is not required.

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 20707.
