Template:Efn/doc

Template:Documentation subpage Template:Transwiki guide Template:High-use Explanatory footnotes or Efn are footnotes which provide something other than, or more than, a reference to a source that supports the accompanying text. The first unnamed parameter is displayed as the content of the footnote. Note that if the note's content contains an "=" character, a reference error will be displayed; precede the content with Template:Para (or one of its aliases, Template:Para, Template:Para, or Template:Para) to fix the error.

The following explanation is transcluded from Help:Footnotes#Footnotes: predefined groups. {{#section:Help:footnotes|pregroup}}
