This template is meant to standardize and simplify, the referencing process for most common sources to [[Brandon Sanderson]] information. References added with template will show at the bottom of the article in the footnotes section, as usual.

The template encapsulate the functionality of several [[Category:Link macros|link macro]] in order to simplify reference reuse, by automatically giving names to references with particular characteristics.

The ''First parameter'' determines which arguments should be passed after. See list of available parameters:

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.

Articles using Template[edit]

This list is limited to 100 pages. For a full listing, see here.
