This is a template documentation subpage for Template:Efn.
It contains usage information, categories, interlanguage links and other content that is not part of the original template page.

Explanatory footnote template, used for footnotes that aren't just direct references. They typically appear using letters in contrast to regular citations which are numbered; the lettering is automatic just like with regular footnotes.

Typically only one parameter: The footnote content, like {{efn|A special footnote}} produces the footnote linked at the end of this sentence.

Normally does not need a parameter label, but can use reference or note or text if there would be an error, usually due to an = in the actual footnote text (like in a URL). For example {{efn|reference=1+1=2.}} makes the note at the end of this sentence.

See Wikipedia:Template:Efn for more info/examples, although this template may not include all variants/parameters described there.

Notes

Use {{Notelist}} at the bottom/in a References section or there will be a citation error:
