Template:Ref

This template is used for creating references when <ref> tags do not work, for example for nesting a citation within a footnote.

Usage

{{ref|group=|name=|Content of the reference}}

The group and name parameters are optional and function the same way as in <ref> tags.

Example

<ref> tags cannot nest, which means that the following will not work:

Mario<ref group=note>Luigi's brother.<ref>''Mario Bros.'' instruction booklet.</ref></ref> likes to jump.

You can circumvent this by replacing the outermost <ref> tag with the {{ref}} template.

Mario{{ref|group=note|Luigi's brother.<ref>''Mario Bros.'' instruction booklet.</ref>}} likes to jump.
