<p>Imported latest exported content; source attribution retained.</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>The &#039;&#039;&#039;ref&#039;&#039;&#039; template allows you to add a citation or footnote to an article. While the &lt;tt&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;&lt;ref&gt;&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/tt&gt; tags might be enough for most cases, this template gives you a bit more control and flexibility, like citing several statements to a single source, and makes footnotes a little more consistent without the need for excessive formatting.<br /> <br /> &#039;&#039;&#039;Basic usage:&#039;&#039;&#039;<br /> &lt;pre&gt;{{ref|Reference content (e.g. text, footnotes, etc.)}}&lt;/pre&gt;<br /> <br /> &#039;&#039;&#039;Alternate form:&#039;&#039;&#039;<br /> &lt;pre&gt;{{ref|cite=Reference content (e.g. text, footnotes, etc.)}}&lt;/pre&gt;<br /> This is the older form, where the reference content has to be supplied to the template with the &lt;tt&gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;cite=&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;/tt&gt; parameter<br /> <br /> &#039;&#039;&#039;Named reference:&#039;&#039;&#039;<br /> <br /> Named parameters are used when you want to refer to the same reference at many places in the same article.<br /> <br /> Named references uses a separate template &lt;tt&gt;{{t|refn}}&lt;/tt&gt;.<br /> &lt;pre&gt;{{refn|Reference content (e.g. text, footnotes, etc.)|name=nelliewashere}}&lt;/pre&gt;<br /> This is the same as normal references &#039;&#039;but&#039;&#039; with the extra &lt;tt&gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;name=&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;/tt&gt; parameter. So the subsequent ref template can be written as:<br /> &lt;pre&gt;{{refn|name=nelliewashere}}&lt;/pre&gt;<br /> <br /> Have fun!<br /> <br /> &lt;noinclude&gt;<br /> ----<br /> &#039;&#039;This page incorporates text from [https://americangirl.fandom.com/wiki/Template:Ref/doc the source wiki] ([https://americangirl.fandom.com/index.php?oldid=56466 exported version], [https://americangirl.fandom.com/index.php?title=Template%3ARef%2Fdoc&amp;action=history contributor history]), under [https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ the original text license].&#039;&#039;<br /> &lt;/noinclude&gt;<br /> </div>
