{{doc/start}}
{{tl|efn}} is used, together with {{tl|notelist}}, to create explanatory notes.

==Usage==
<code><nowiki>{{efn|</nowiki>''Footnote text''<nowiki>}}</nowiki></code>

<code><nowiki>{{efn|name=</nowiki>''footnote name''<nowiki>|</nowiki>''Footnote text''<nowiki>}}</nowiki></code>

'''name''': Sets a standard reference name per named reference.

<code><nowiki>{{efn|group=</nowiki>''footnote group''<nowiki>|</nowiki>''Footnote text''<nowiki>}}</nowiki></code>

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

The available options are:
{| class="wikitable"
|-
! group !! Styled as
|-
| note || <sup>[note 1]</sup>
|-
| upper-alpha || <sup>[A]</sup>
|-
| upper-roman || <sup>[IV]</sup>
|-
| lower-alpha || <sup>[a]</sup>
|-
| lower-greek || <sup>[α][β]</sup>
|-
| lower-roman || <sup>[iv]</sup>
|}

Remember that "=" cannot appear in an unnamed template parameter and "|" cannot appear in any template parameter. For "|", <code><nowiki>{{</nowiki>[[mw:Help:Magic words#Other|!]]<nowiki>}}</nowiki></code> can be used. For "=", {{tl|{{=}}}} can be used or the parameter can be named 1= explicitly:

: <code><nowiki>{{efn|1=Converting at a rate of Kr&nbsp;20&nbsp;=&nbsp;£1.}}</nowiki></code>

==Examples==
Using full citations in footnotes:

{{markup|<nowiki>
Some information.<ref name=Smith2009>Smith (2009). Smith's book.</ref> More information.{{efn|A clarification.<ref name=Smith2009/>}}

==Notes==
{{notelist}}

==References==
{{reflist}}

</nowiki>|

Some information.<ref name=Smith2009>Smith (2009). Smith's book.</ref> More information.{{efn|A clarification.<ref name=Smith2009/>}}

{{fake heading|Notes}}
{{reflist|group=lower-alpha|close=1}}<!-- Notelist does not support "close"; nor should it, outside of doc pages-->

{{fake heading|References}}
<references />
}}
You can create multiple explanatory lists by closing {{tl|notelist}}. This is useful when adding sources to elements such as multiple tables.
{{markup
|<nowiki>Some information.<ref name=Smith2009>Smith (2009). Smith's book.</ref> More information.{{efn|A clarification.<ref name=Smith2009/>}}
