==Footnotes: groups==
{{shortcut|WP:REFGROUP|WP:CITELABEL}}

Sometimes it is useful to group the footnotes into separate lists, for example to separate explanatory notes from references, or to list references for tables, image captions, infoboxes and navboxes. The sequence of footnote labels is independent in each group.

The syntax to define a footnote with a group is:
:{{tag|ref|params=group=<var>groupname</var>|content=Content}}

If the footnote marker group name includes a space, the group name ''must'' be enclosed in quotes, else a cite error will occur. Otherwise, quotes are optional.

The syntax for the reference list with a group is:
:{{tlx|reflist|2=group=<var>groupname</var>}}

The reference list group name does not need to be enclosed in quotes.

Example:
{{markup
|<nowiki>This part of the text requires clarification,<ref group=note>Listed separately from the citation</ref> whereas the entire text is cited.<ref>Citation.</ref> And this needs even more clarification.<ref group=note>Another note</ref>

==Notes==
{{reflist|group=note}}

==References==
{{reflist}}</nowiki>
|This part of the text requires clarification,<ref group=note>Listed separately from the citation</ref> whereas the entire text is cited.<ref>Citation</ref> And this needs even more clarification.<ref group=note>Another note</ref>

{{fake heading|sub=3|Notes}}
{{reflist|group=note}}

{{fake heading|sub=3|References}}
{{reflist}}
}}

Note that the footnote labels in the reference list show only the numbers and not the group name.

When using both names and groups, the syntax is:

:{{tag|ref|params=group="<var>groupname</var>" name="<var>name</var>"|content=Content}}

For the repeated note:

:{{tag|ref|s|params=group="<var>groupname</var>" name="<var>name</var>"}}
