Template:Ref: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 03:00, 23 April 2025

A shortcut for creating a reference in an article. Call this with the syntax {{ref|Text of your reference.}} to place a ref in an article, and then list the references at the end of the article using Template:Reflist. If the text that you pass in contains a '=' or '|' (pipe), you need to escape them because they have special meanings in template calls. The equals sign is escaped with the use of {{=}} and the pipe with {{!}}.

If you want to only list ref tags in a certain group, use the "group" parameter: {{ref|group=group_name|Text of your reference.}}. See Oni for an example usage.

If you want your references to use letters instead of numbers, use {{ref|alpha=yes|Text of your reference.}}.
