Template:R
Usage[change source]
Provides a simple wrapper for (up to 5 consecutive) <ref name="foo" /> citation tags that minimizes visual impact on the text, which along with the simpler syntax increases code readability and editability. For example:
| usage | notes |
|---|---|
{{r|ref_name}}
|
Adds a reference like foo[1], equivalent to <ref name="ref_name" />. This can be combined, like {{r|ref_name|another|more|ref4}} (equivalent to <ref name="ref_name" /><ref name="another" /><ref name="more" /><ref name="ref4" />).
|
{{r|ref_name|group=bar}}
|
Adds a reference like foo[bar 1] for a reference in the bar group (for pages with multiple reference sections). The group applies to all references in the {{r}} call. |
{{r|ref_name|page1=100}}
|
Adds a reference like foo[1]: 100 , with a page number (page1 applies to the first reference, page2 to the second, etc.). This is only needed for multiple references to different pages in the source.

Comparison to <ref>[change source]
| unwrapped | For example, fact<ref name="bacelieri" /><ref name="cochrane2006" /><ref name="emed_hpv" /> and fact.<ref name="emed_plantar" /><ref name="hipusa" /><ref name="kunnamo" />
|
|---|---|
| wrapped with {{r}} | For example, fact.{{r|bacelieri|cochrane2006|emed_hpv}} and fact{{r|emed_plantar|hipusa|kunnamo}}
|
Pages[change source]
By passing page numbers to the parameters page1 through page5, this template will add a superscripted page number to the reference. Using the code {{r|ref_name|bar|baz|page1=20|page3=5–12}}, one can generate references like these.[1]: 20 [2][3]: 5–12 The ref names must be defined, normally in a references section (as demonstrated below):
{{reflist|refs=
<ref name="ref_name">Foo.</ref>
<ref name="bar">Bar.</ref>
<ref name="baz">Baz.</ref>
}}
