==Description==

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~~.

== Usage ==

:'''Note:''' If you need to add a reference that is not strictly text or a specialized reference using one of the reference templates ~~below~~, it is recommended you use the standard MediaWiki reference tag: <code><nowiki><ref>FOOTNOTE TEXT</ref></nowiki></code> See [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Cite MediaWiki's Cite Guide] for more information on how to use this tag.
