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.
