==={{ucfirst:{{{1}}}}} embedded in list-defined ref does not work=== If you [[Help:Footnotes#embedding references|embed]] an {{ucfirst:{{{1}}}}} template in a [[Help:List-defined references|list-defined reference]], you may get a false-positive "[[Help:Cite errors/Cite error references missing key|missing key" error]] which looks like this: : <span style="color:#d73333; font-weight:bold; font-size:115%">A [[Help:Footnotes#WP:LDR|list-defined reference]] named "{{nobr|. . .}}" is not used in the content (see the [[Help:Cite errors/Cite error references missing key|help page]]).</span> {{tracked|T22707}} This is a false-positive: list-defined references [[Wikipedia:Nesting footnotes#5. List-defined references|do not work correctly when references are nested]]. It is due to a long-standing bug in mediawiki software (see [[phab:T22707]]). A [[Template:Sfnlink#example-3|workaround]] is possible using {{tl|sfnlink}}. [[Help:Cite errors/Cite error references missing key#Bugs|Additional bugs]] associated with embedding footnotes in list-defined references are known. One of them is that the [[WP:REFNAME|reference name]] given in the error message will identify the wrong list-defined reference in the first false-positive error message on the page; this is tracked in {{phab|T26600}}.
