{{Documentation subpage}} {{Transwiki guide |small=yes |text=See [[Template:Reflist/Transwiki guide|'''this information''']] on copying this template and modifying it for use on another wiki.}} <!-- Categories and interwikis go at the bottom of this page. --> {{High-use}} '''Explanatory footnotes''' or '''Efn''' are footnotes which provide something other than, or more than, a reference to a [[WP:Reliable sources|source]] that supports the accompanying text. The first unnamed parameter is displayed as the content of the footnote. Note that if the note's content contains an "=" character, a reference error will be displayed; precede the content with {{para|1}} (or one of its aliases, {{para|text}}, {{para|reference}}, or {{para|content}}) to fix the error. The following explanation is transcluded from [[Help:Footnotes#Footnotes: predefined groups]]. {{#section:Help:footnotes|pregroup}} ==Example articles== * [[Logic Theorist]] (a short article showing basic usage) * [[Chinese room]] (a long and complex article which uses all the features: named footnotes, list defined notes, etc.) * [[Empire of Brazil]] * [[John Diefenbaker]] (with name= and notes in <nowiki>{{notes}}</nowiki>) * [[USS Monitor|USS ''Monitor'']] <includeonly>{{sandbox other|| <!-- Categories and interwikis go here: --> [[Category:Explanatory footnote templates]] [[Category:Templates that generate named references]] }}</includeonly> == Template data == Description: <templatedata> { "description": "Inserts an explanatory footnote.
