{{efn}} is used, together with {{notelist}}, to create explanatory notes.

Usage

{{efn|Footnote text}}

{{efn|name=footnote name|Footnote text}}

name: Sets a standard reference name per named reference.

{{efn|group=footnote group|Footnote text}}

group: Sets the group name. This defaults to lower-alpha.

The available options are:

group	Styled as
note	[note 1]
upper-alpha	[A]
upper-roman	[IV]
lower-alpha	[a]
lower-greek	[α][β]
lower-roman	[iv]

Remember that "=" cannot appear in an unnamed template parameter and "|" cannot appear in any template parameter. For "|", {{!}} can be used. For "=", {{=}} can be used or the parameter can be named 1= explicitly:

{{efn|1=Converting at a rate of Kr 20 = £1.}}

Examples

Using full citations in footnotes:

Markup	Renders as
Some information.<ref name=Smith2009>Smith (2009). Smith's book.</ref> More information.{{efn|A clarification.<ref name=Smith2009/>}} ==Notes== {{notelist}} ==References== {{reflist}}	Some information. More information. Notes References

You can create multiple explanatory lists by closing {{notelist}}. This is useful when adding sources to elements such as multiple tables.
