ਫਰਮਾ:Refref/doc

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:Refref}} rather than {{Refref}}. 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).
• This template is collapsed by default. If you wish to disable this, substitute or transclude {{Refref/core}} instead.

Sister template

A more basic sister template exists at {{Refref2}}. It contains only the visual elements of this one, i.e., without the text explanation portion, and given its smaller footprint, is neither collapsed by default, nor hidden using a header bar. For comparison, the sister template's output is shown below:
