This template is intended to assist users at the help desk, AfC help desk, the Teahouse, for replying to {{Help me}} requests and at other fora, where the basics of providing inline citations needs to be explained. It provides a visual guide to inline citations that some users may respond better to than a text explanation alone.

Usage

  • This template may be transcluded or substituted by prefixing "subst:" inside the template code. Thus you may use {{subst:Refref2}} rather than {{Refref2}}. However, given the quantity of code in this template, transclusion may be preferable to substitution.
  • The template does not include automatic signing. Please remember to sign by typing four tildes (~~~~) after the template syntax (or at the end of your accompanying post to which this template may be an add-on).

Sister template

This template is a more basic version of its sister template, {{Refref}}, which unlike this template:

  1. Provides a detailed text explanation above the (identical) visual elements; and
  2. Is hidden by default because of its significantly larger footprint.

For comparison, the sister template's output is shown below:
