Template:Ref

Template documentation

---

The {{ref}} template formats a footnote, such as a citation, and links back to the footnote notation in an article. Although not required, it is usually used with the {{ref link}} template as the footnote link.

Usage

{{ref|name=link name|1|2}}

Parameters

Parameter	Description	Type	Status	Notes
1	Designator	String	Required	Footnote number or note designator; should match the designator in the reference or footnote
name	Name	String	Required	The reference or footnote name to provide a link to the actual reference or footnote.\
2	Footnote text	String	Required	The text to display as the footnote.

While noted as required, the template may not fail if any of the parameters are omitted, but it will not display properly and may not link properly.

Examples
