This is a template that emulates the function of the <ref> and <references/> tags. It can sometimes be preferable to actual ref tags since it allows multiple lists of footnotes in a single article, while the ref tags do not. In an article where only one list of footnotes is needed, ref tags are usually preferable.
Usage[edit]
{{footnote|main|1}}
Will create a footnote tag like this: 1 Note that the one can be virtually anything, although some characters may need to be escaped. For example, [1] is escaped as {{footnote|main|[1]}}. This should be used in the main text to provide a link to the footnote.
{{footnote|note|1|Example footnote}}
Will create this:
1 - Example footnote
This should be used in a list of notes after the main text of an article or paragraph.
Attribution[edit]
The original template is from the Super Mario Wiki.
