	This template ~~is mainly~~ used to ~~in definitions of the individual [[:Category: Reference Templates\|reference templates]], though there are~~ a ~~few cases where it is used directly~~.		This template should be used to make a basic text footnote. It also has the ability, when used with other [[:Help:References#Reference Templates\|Reference Templates]], to create a reference group.
	* Sometimes it is also ~~useful to just annotate something with a reference~~, ~~which this template can also be~~ used ~~for~~ with ~~the {{{text}}} parameter.~~
	* It is also used when another [[:~~Category~~: Reference Templates\|~~reference templates~~]] ~~has been used with <code>name=X</code>~~, ~~in which case that reference can be cited again with <code><nowiki>{{ref\|name=X}}</nowiki></code>.~~

	~~For most situations, however, the other~~ reference ~~templates should be used as they offer more structure. See [[Help:References]] for more details on using references~~.
