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}}.

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