Reference

This is primarily for my own use, but I will also be sure to keep it documented such that it may be of use to others as well.

Citations

Explanatory footnotes

From Template:Sfn § A citation inside an explanatory footnote:

It is also possible to use the magic word {{#tag:ref|...}} and the {{sfn}} template will work correctly inside the footnote, as shown in the second example.

The second example:

Markup	Renders as
Interesting fact.{{#tag:ref|Clarification of interesting fact.{{sfn|Smith|2017}}}} ==Citations== {{reflist}} ==References== * {{cite book | last = Smith | date = 2017 | title = Smith's other book }}	Interesting fact. Notes References Smith (2017). Smith's other book.
