This template is mainly used to in definitions of the individual reference templates, though there are a few cases where it is used directly.
- 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 reference templates has been used with
name=X, in which case that reference can be cited again with{{ref|name=X}}.
