This template should be used to produce an [[WP:Infobox|Infobox]] for human settlements (cities, towns, villages, communities) as well as other administrative districts, counties, provinces, et cetera—in fact, any subdivision below the level of a country, for which {{tl|Infobox country}} should be used. Parameters are described in the table below. For questions, see the [[Template talk:Infobox settlement|talk page]]. For a US city guideline, see [[WP:USCITIES]].
The template is aliased or used as a sub-template for several infobox front-end templates.
==Usage==
* '''Important''': Please enter all numeric values in a raw, unformatted fashion. References and {{tl|citation needed}} tags are to be included in their respective section footnotes field. Numeric values that are not "raw" may create an "Expression error". Raw values will be automatically formatted by the template. If you find a raw value is not formatted in your usage of the template, please post a notice on the discussion page for this template.
* An expression error may also occur when any coordinate parameter has a value, but one or more coordinate parameters are blank or invalid.
* To specify CSS class "X" should be applied to an image, append to the filename: <code><nowiki>{{!}}class=X</nowiki></code>

This template should be used to produce an [[WP:Infobox|Infobox]] for human settlements (cities, towns, villages, communities) as well as other administrative districts, counties, provinces, et cetera—in fact, any subdivision below the level of a country, for which {{tl|Infobox country}} should be used. Parameters are described in the table below. For questions, see the [[Template talk:Infobox settlement|talk page]]. For a US city guideline, see [[WP:USCITIES]].
The template is aliased or used as a sub-template for several infobox front-end templates.
==Usage==
* '''Important''': Please enter all numeric values in a raw, unformatted fashion. References and {{tl|citation needed}} tags are to be included in their respective section footnotes field. Numeric values that are not "raw" may create an "Expression error". Raw values will be automatically formatted by the template. If you find a raw value is not formatted in your usage of the template, please post a notice on the discussion page for this template.
* An expression error may also occur when any coordinate parameter has a value, but one or more coordinate parameters are blank or invalid.
* To specify CSS class "X" should be applied to an image, append to the filename: <code><nowiki>{{!}}class=X</nowiki></code>
Basic blank template, ready to cut and paste. See the next section for a copy of the template with all parameters and comments. See the table below that for a full description of each parameter.

'''दीप''' भा '''टापू''' ({{Lang|en|Island}}; [[हिंदी भाषा|हिंदी]] आ {{Langx|sa|द्वीप}}) [[महादीप|महादीप से छोटहन]] साइज के [[थलरूप|जमीनी]] हिस्सा टुकड़ा होल जेवन चारो ओर से पानी से घेराइल होखे।<ref name="n705">{{cite web |title=Definition, Types, Examples, & Facts |website=Encyclopedia Britannica |date=21 June 2026 |url=https://www.britannica.com/science/island |access-date=11 July 2026}}</ref><ref name="q879">{{cite web |title=island |website=Cambridge Dictionary |date=8 July 2026 |url=https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/island |access-date=11 July 2026}}</ref> दुसरे शब्दन में, [[समुंद्र]], [[झील]] भा [[नदी]] के बीचा में पानी से घेराइल जमीन के दीप भा टापू कहल जाला। दीपन के उनहन के उत्पत्ती के आधार पर कई किसिम में बाँटल जाला। महादीपीय दीप भा टेक्टोनिक दीप ओह दीपन के कहल जाला, जे [[प्लेट टैक्टॉनिक्स]] के कारण कवनो [[महादीप]] (कंटीनेंट) से अलग होके बनल बाड़ें; ई [[कंटीनेंटल शेल्फ]] के हिस्सा होलें।<ref name="n705" /> जबकि महासागरीय दीप अइसन दीप हउवें, जे कबो कवनो महादीप के हिस्सा ना रहल हवें। महासागरीय दीप [[ज्वालामुखी]] गतिविधि से बन सके लें आ बाद में चल के [[कोरल रीफ]] (मूँगा के चट्टान) के बिकास से ई [[एटॉल]] के रूप ले सके लें। समुंद्र तट पर तलछट के जमाव से दीप बन सके ला, जवना के [[बैरियर आइलैंड]] कहल जाला। [[नदी]] आ [[झील]] में भी अगर कौनों अइसन रचना होखे तब ओहू के दीपे कहल जाला। [[भोजपुरी क्षेत्र]] में नदी के बीच अइसन टापू सभ के ''दिया'' चाहे ''दियारा'' कहल जाला; हालाँकि, ई शब्द नदी के तीरे निचली कछारो वाली जमीन खातिर इस्तेमाल होला। आर्टिफिशियल दीप ऊ दीप हउवें, जे मनुष्य द्वारा बनावल जालें। एहमें लैगून के भीतर बनावल गइल छोट-छोट चट्टानी दीप से ले के, बिकास कार्य खातिर समुद्र भा झील के हिस्सा माटी-बालू भर के तइयार कइल गइल बड़हन साइज के लैंड रिक्लेमेशन परियोजना तक शामिल बाड़ी स।
दीप अनेक प्रकार के पेड़-पौधा आ जिया-जंतु के [[हैबीटाट|निवास]] होलें। महासागरीय दीपन के चारों ओर समुंद्र होखे के कारण नया प्रजातियन के उहाँ पहुँचे में प्राकृतिक बाधा रहेला। एहसे जवन प्रजाति दीप तक पहुँच जालीं, ऊ बाकी दुनिया से अलग रहके अपनहीं ढंग से बिकसित होखे लागे लीं। महाद्वीपीय दीपन पर ओह महाद्वीप के पेड़-पौधा आ जीव-जंतु पावल जालें, जवना महादीप से ऊ अलग भइल रहलें। अगर महाद्वीपीय दीप बहुत पहिले महाद्वीप से अलग भइल होखे, त [[नेचुरल सिलेक्शन]] के कारण ओह दीप के जीव-जंतु आ वनस्पति समय के साथ मुख्य भूमि (मेन महादीप) पर पावल जाए वाला प्रजातियन से काफी अलग किसिम के बिकसित हो सके लीं। टापू सब के जीवभूगोल के अध्ययन के ''आइलैंड बायोज्योग्राफी'' कहल जाला।
मनुष्य कम से कम हजारन साल से दीपन पर रहत आ एक दीप से दुसरे दीप तक जतरा करत आइल बा। इतिहासी जुग में कुछ दीपन पर लोग थलसेतु (लैंड ब्रिज) के जरिये चहुँपल, कुछ महादीपन से अलग भइला के बाद आबाद भइलें, जबकि कई दीपन तक लोग [[नाइ]] से पहुँच के बसल। धरती के बहुत उत्तर भा दक्खिन ([[ध्रुव]] वाला इलाका सभ में) के कुछ दीपन के मौसमी बर्फ भा [[ग्लेशियर|हिमनद]] के बर्फ मुख्य भूमि से जोड़ देले आ ई पुल के काम कइले होखिहें। आज दुनियाँ में मनुष्य के लगभग 10% आबादी दीपन पर रह रहल बाटे। प्राकृतिक सुंदरता, अलगाव आ अनोखा संस्कृति के चलते दीप पर्यटक लोगन के बहुते पसंदीदा पर्यटन स्थल भी हउवें।

ठंडा जलवायु वाला दीपन में पर्यटन अक्सर मौसमी (सीजनल) होला। उहाँ लोग प्राकृतिक सुंदरता आ स्थानीय संस्कृति के आनंद लेवे खातिर आवेला, आ पर्यटन दीप के अर्थव्यवस्था के खाली एगो हिस्सा होखेला। एकरा विपरीत, उष्णकटिबंधीय दीपन में पर्यटन कई बेर स्थानीय अर्थव्यवस्था आ बिकास के सबसे मेन आधार बन जाला। एह दीपन के आर्थिक बिकास बनवले रखे खातिर पर्यटन के साथे-साथ कई बेर लगातार विदेशी सहायता के भी जरूरत पड़े ला।

{{Lua|Module:Footnotes|Module:Check for unknown parameters}}
The '''shortened footnote template''' {{tl|sfn}} creates a short [[WP:Citing sources#Short citations|author–date citation]] in a [[Wikipedia:Citing sources|footnote]], with a one-directional link to the first matching [[Wikipedia:Citation templates|citation template]] on the same page. It will combine identical footnotes automatically.
It is used to create {{sfnote|lc=y}}, a [[WP:CITESTYLE|citation style]] which pairs a short, author-date citation in a footnote with a [[WP:HOWCITE|complete citation]] in the references section at the end of the article (see example [[#Example|below]]). This citation style is used to simplify multiple citations to the same source and to reduce clutter in the edit window.
Common problems and known workarounds are given in the sections below. Use the table of contents to find what you need.
Note that the use (or even non-use) of these templates is an element of citation "style", and adding or removing them in articles with an established style should be consistent with that style. See [[WP:CITEVAR]].
==Usage==
'''Sfn''' generates an "author-date" style short-cite from the following parameters:
<div style="margin-left: 2em"><code>{{<nowiki>sfn</nowiki>| <{{var|last1}}*> | <{{var|last2}}> | <{{var|last3}}> | <{{var|last4}}> | <{{var|year}}*> | p= <{{var|page}}> | loc= <{{var|location}}> }}</code></div>
with
* <{{var|last1}}> – required; surname of first author or corporate author
* <{{var|last2}}>–<{{var|last4}}> – positional parameters; surnames of next three authors; required if available in the full citation
* <{{var|year}}> – required; four-digit year; may have a lowercase disambiguation letter, like {{pval|2012a}}
* {{para|p}} – specific page referenced in the source (alias: {{para|page}}{{hairspace}})
* {{para|pp}} – comma-separated list of [[Template:Csdoc#pages|individual pages and / or range(s) of pages]] referenced in the source (alias: {{para|pages}}{{hairspace}})
* {{para|loc}} – in-source location when {{para|p}} and {{para|pp}} are inappropriate; may be used to supplement {{para|p}} and {{para|pp}}; information such as a section or figure number. (alias: {{para|at}}{{hairspace}})
=== Example ===
Typical usage is shown in the example below. The text and the footnote are connected by a bi-directional link – clicking on the superscript takes the reader to the footnote, clicking on the footnote number takes them back to the superscript. The clicking on the short citation takes them to the full citation in the references section.
'''Sfn''' will also automatically combine identical footnotes.

Template '''sfn''' is not placed inside {{tag|ref}} tags and generates the footnote internally. (To place '''sfn''' in a footnote, see [[#A citation inside an explanatory footnote|putting a citation inside a footnote]], below.)
===Parameters===
====Author(s) and year====
The first four author surnames (or all authors if fewer than four; use the values from {{para|last''N''}} or {{para|author''N''}}{{hairspace}}) are required, followed by the year of publication (from {{para|year}} or {{para|date}}). Authors past the fourth must be omitted or an error will result.
The [[#Possible issues with author-date link|possible issues]] section below describes workarounds for various common problems, such as [[#Large number of authors|large number of authors]], [[#No author name in citation template|no author name]], [[#More than one work in a year|multiple works in the same year]], [[#Two sources with same last names and years|Two sources with same last names and years]] and others.

====Location in the source text====
Use {{para|p}} for single pages; use {{para|pp}} for multiple pages (such as ranges). Use of {{para|p}} for multiple pages or {{para|pp}} for single pages can cause [[Help:Cite errors/Cite error references duplicate key|cite errors]].
{{para|loc}} can be used to specify a location in the source in another way, such as section numbers or chapters. It can also be combined with {{para|p}} or {{para|pp}}.

==Possible issues with author-date link==
{{for|information on how to turn on error messages for broken links|:Category:Harv and Sfn template errors}}
These are techniques that address various unusual difficulties with the link between the short citation and the full citation.
===Custom anchors===
A custom anchor using {{tl|sfnref}} can, at least temporarily, always make the shortened footnote look exactly the way you would like and still have a link that works. Many of the problems and workarounds below require a custom anchor.
All CS1 citation templates and several other templates allow you to set a custom anchor with parameter {{para|ref}}. The template {{tl|sfnRef}} creates an anchor that will match {{tl|sfn}}'s if it has the same parameters as {{tl|sfn}}. To use this technique, choose the name and year you would like to appear in {{tl|sfn}}, copy these parameters into {{tl|sfnRef}} and set {{tl|ref}} to the {{tl|sfnRef}}.
In other words, if you want this:
* {{tl2|sfn|<*''name you want''>|<''year''>|<''page / location''>}}
then set this:
* {{para|ref|{{tl2|sfnRef|<''name you want''>|<''year''>}}}}
in the template, and the link should work correctly.
The parameters must be <em>identical</em> in every respect. If the year is unusual (i.e. not a number), then include the year in the name and don't use the year position.
===Large number of authors===
If there are more than four authors, the first four authors' surnames (the value in {{para|last}} or {{para|author}}) are required by the template. Listing more authors is not supported. It is also possible to use a [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]] that sets the name field to "Smith et. al.".

}}
}}}}
===More than one work in a year===
Where there is a need to cite more than one work ''by the same author published in the same year'', the standard way to disambiguate such works is to add a letter suffix after the year, e.g. "Smith 2006a" and "Smith 2006b".
Set the year element of the {{tlc|sfn}} templates (e.g. {{tlc|sfn|Smith|2006a}} and {{tlc|sfn|Smith|2006a}}), and add the disambiguation letter to the matching full citation, (e.g. <code><nowiki>{{cite book|...|last=Smith|date=2006b}}</nowiki></code>).
When {{tlc|sfn}} is used with {{tlx|citation}} or {{cs1}} templates, a year-suffix letter may be added to {{para|date}} for all accepted date formats except year-initial numeric ({{small|YYYY-MM-DD}}). It is not necessary to include both {{para|date}} and {{para|year}} (see exception [[#NB_YEAR|below]]). If both are included, {{para|year}} is used for the <code>CITEREF</code> anchor to be compliant with legacy citations.
:{{para|date|2013a}}: simple year only dates
:{{para|date|Jan 2013b}} or {{para|date|Winter 2013b}}: month or season and year dates
:{{para|date|9 November 2013b}} or {{para|date|November 9, 2013b}}: full dates
:{{para|date|June–July 2013c}} or {{para|date|Winter–Spring 2013c}}: month or season ranges and year dates
:{{para|date|c. 2013d}}: circa year dates
:{{para|date|{{#time:Y}}–{{#time:Y|now +1 year}}e}} or {{para|date|Summer {{#time:Y}}–{{#time:y|now +1 year}}e}}: year ranges
:{{para|date|n.d.f}}: no date (n.d.)
:{{anchor|NB_YEAR}}<s>{{para|date|2013g-11-09}}</s>: not supported, the template must use {{para|year|2013g}}. If month and day should be part of the citation as well, both parameters need to be given: {{para|date|2013-11-09}} {{para|year|2013x}}. In this case, {{para|date}} is used for citation display and metadata purposes, and {{para|year}} for link disambiguation.

===Two sources with same last names and years ===
An article might cite works from the same year by two different authors with the same last name. For example, an article might cite psychoanalysts [[Anna Freud]] and [[Sigmund Freud]], who both wrote books in the same year.
There are two solutions: it's possible to use the same technique described in the previous section. To differentiate between the two books, the first one can be given the year "1928a" and the second one "1928b".
Or, you can create a [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]] that adds an initial to the name fields, e.g. "A. Freud" and "S. Freud". The links will no longer conflict.

===No author name in citation template===
Some sources do not have a single author with a last name, such as a magazine article or a report from a government institution. There is no consensus (in Wikipedia or among citation styles) about how to format author–date citations for works that do not have a specific author. Several choices are:
# The title of the article, or a shortened form of the title, is recommended by some style guides.
# For a newspaper or periodical, you may use the name of the paper and the date.
# For a publication by an institution, use either:
## The initials of the institution
## The name of the institution
# Other style guides recommend using "Anonymous" or "Anon."
An article should adopt one of these styles consistently.
Use a [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]] to replace set the author name to one of these other choices, as shown in these examples below.

===Citation has <code>|date=</code> and no <code>|year=</code>===
Either the {{para|date}} or {{para|year}} of a citation template can be matched—the template logic can extract the year from a full date. If the date parameter is not a full date, then the extraction will fail. If the link does not seem to work, it also possible to set both {{para|date}} and {{para|year}} parameters. The template will display the date and use the year for the anchor. These two examples show a year being successfully extracted from full date.

{{See also|[[Wikipedia:Citation templates and reference anchors]])}}
Some templates, such as {{tl|cite comic}} template use the parameter {{para|ref}} to create an anchor for the short citation. This can be used to set a [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]] for {{tl|sfn}}
{{markup
|<nowiki>Article text.{{sfn|Morrison|1987}}

{{reflist}}
==References==
* {{cite comic

You could also use CITEREF directly with a concatenation of <code>#CITEREF</code> plus the parameters passed to the Harvard citation template.
===Citation format does not support any kind of anchor===
{{See also|[[Wikipedia:Citation templates and reference anchors]])}}
If the citation is handwritten you should consider the citation format of the article. If citation templates are acceptable here, then try to find one that works for this template. If no template can be found, then this may be a source which can't be represented in our citation templates.
There are also a few templates that do not support any kind of anchor.
For both of these rare cases it is possible to use {{tl2|wikicite}}. It has a {{para|ref}} parameter which can be set to a [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]] that seems appropriate.

===Wikilink to citation does not work===
If an article is using this template, and nothing happens when you click on the highlighted [[wikilink]] from a [[WP:SHORTCITE|short citation]] using a template to a [[WP:SHORTCITE|full citation]] at the bottom of the page, there are several possible solutions. If:
# Templates like this one are rarely used in this article. '''Solution''': Remove this template and format the citation in the style used most often in the article.
# The correct full citation does ''not'' appear at the bottom of the article. '''Solution''': Find the source (it may be copied from an article on a similar subject), and check that it verifies the text. If the source can't be found, replace this template with {{tl2|citation not found}}.
# The correct full citation appears at the bottom of the article, and
## The full citation uses a template from the list at [[Help:Citation Style 1|Citation Style 1]]:
### The name in the short citation is spelled or capitalized differently than in the full citation. '''Solution''': Check the source for the correct spelling, and use the same spelling, spacing, and capitalization in both the short and full citations.
### The template does not have an author's or an editor's, last name (authors take precedence over editors). '''Solution''': See [[#No author name in citation template|§No author name in citation template]], above.
### There is more than one full citation with the same last name(s) and year. '''Solution''': See [[#More than one work in a year|§More than one work in a year]].
### The year is different here than the full citation. '''Solution''': Check the source for the correct year, and use the same year in both the short and full citations.
### The template has a {{para|date}} field and no {{para|year}} field, but the format of the {{para|date}} field is unusual. '''Solution''': Try to fix the date. If the link still does not work, add {{para|year}} to the citation template. (It's okay if it has both.)
### The template does not have a year, or the year is set to "n.d." (no date). '''Solution''': Set the date field of this template to "n.d.".
##The citation template doesn't automatically create the anchor, but has {{para|ref}}. '''Solution''': See [[#Citation template doesn't automatically create the anchor|§Citation template doesn't automatically create the anchor]], above.
##The citation template doesn't support anchors at all. '''Solution''': See [[#Citation format does not support any kind of anchor|§Citation format does not support any kind of anchor]], above.
##The full citation is handwritten.
### There are no other citation templates in the article. This is probably because local editors prefer it that way. '''Solution''': You should adapt to the style of the article. This would probably entail removing this template and formatting the short citation in plain text or replacing it with a full citation in {{tag|ref}} tags.
### There are citation templates used liberally throughout the article. '''Solution''': Reformat the source with the appropriate {{cite *}} template (and set the {{para|ref}} appropriately, if necessary).
### The full citation is handwritten because the source can't be represented by our citation templates at all. '''Solution''': See [[#Citation format does not support any kind of anchor|§Citation format does not support any kind of anchor]], above.
Templates that have broken [[wikilink]]s using these templates are added to the category {{cat|All articles with broken links to citations}}.
== Techniques and variations ==
{{anchor|Additional comments or quotes}}
=== Adding additional comments or quotes ===
The templates {{tl2|harvnb}} or {{tl2|harvtxt}} can be used to add quotes or additional comments into the footnote, in the form of in-text attributions.
{{markup
|<nowiki>
Some information.<ref>{{harvnb|Smith|2011|p=2}}: "A quote verifying the information."</ref>
== Notes ==
{{reflist}}
</nowiki>|

}}
===Citations inside explanatory footnotes===
Sometimes an explanatory footnote requires a citation. There are several acceptable solutions.
It is currently disputed (June 2026) whether parenthetical referencing (or narrative referencing, i.e. in-text attribution serving as referencing) is deprecated inside {{tag|ref}} tags used for explanatory footnotes.
Citations using {{tl1|sfn}} can't be directly embedded between {{tag|ref}} tags, because the following message will be produced: {{small|{{error|Cite error references missing group||nocat=true}}}}. But {{tl1|sfn}} can be used with templates {{tl1|efn}} and {{tl1|notelist}}, which separates the explanatory footnotes from the short citations, as shown in this example. (See also [[Chinese Room]], which is an article that makes extensive use of this technique.)

===Adding a URL for the page or location===
If a specific link to the page or section is available, a [[Uniform Resource Locator|URL]] can be added to the location or page number.
{{markup
|<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">Article text.{{sfn|Smith|2011|p=[https://en.wikipedia.org 3]}}

}}}}
(See [[#url weirdness|below]] for a potential issue with this technique.)
===In text attribution===
{{see also|Wikipedia:Citing sources#In-text attribution}}
Per [[WP:PAREN]], a certain style of short citations using parentheses, placed ''within the article text itself'', is deprecated on Wikipedia. Several examples were raised and discussed during the [[Special:PermanentLink/976895063#Deprecate parenthetical citations|September 2020 request for comments]]. To summarize the consensus reached there:
{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Example !! Consensus
|-
| {{no| The Sun is pretty big. (Miller 2005, p. 1)}} || Formally deprecated; replace with "The Sun is pretty big.{{dummy reference}}"
|-
| {{maybe| The paper by Eek (2020) showed...{{dummy reference}}}} || Wordy, but may be valid as in-text attribution; use "Eek showed...{{dummy reference}}" instead
|-
| {{no| Eek (p. 35) showed...}} || Formally deprecated; use "Eek showed...{{dummy reference}}" instead
|-
| {{maybe| In 2020, Pelagic et al. found that...{{dummy reference}}}} || Wordy, but may be valid as in-text attribution.
|-
| {{no| {{fake link|Smith (2008)}} argued...}} || Formally deprecated; see the following for a non-deprecated alternative
|-
| {{maybe| Smith (2008) argued...{{dummy reference}}}} || May be valid as in-text attribution in contexts where both year and author are encyclopedic information; consider rewriting as "Smith, in 2008, argued...{{dummy reference}}"
|-
| {{yes| Smith argued...{{dummy reference}}}} || Standard non-deprecated format
|}
===Bundled citations===
{{see also|Help:Citation merging |Wikipedia:Citing sources#Bundling citations}}
Template {{tl2|harvnb}} (with <nowiki><ref></nowiki> tags) or {{tl2|sfnm}} can be used to [[WP:CITE#Bundling citations|bundle citations]].

}}
===Multiple lists of inline citations===
Sometimes there is a need to create two or more separate lists of inline footnotes. For example some family trees are contained in templates, they are transluded into several biographies, and they have their own self contained citations (see [[Template:Houston family tree]] and the article [[Margaret Lea Houston]]).
To facilitate this, while the main page uses the standard 1,2,3 footnote counting, it is common for family trees to use the efn template with a group parameter set—for example {{tlx|efn-lg}} (lower-greek). The efn templates are text templates, to link some or all of the content of the efn template to a long citation template such as {{tlx|cite book}} place {{tlx|harvnb}} or {{tlx|harv}} within the efn template.

{{anchor|Ps problems}}
== Other parameters ==
These parameters were designed to handle special cases that are better handled by other techniques.
===Parameter {{para|ps}}===
These templates have a parameter {{para|ps}}, designed to hold quotes and explanations.
Two or more {{tlc|sfn}} templates with the same authors, same year, and same page, but different {{para|ps}} will result in a {{small|{{error|Cite error: The named reference ... was defined multiple times with different content}}}} message. This message happens because the reference names that {{tlc|sfn}} creates will be the same, but the content between the {{tag|ref|params=name="FOOTNOTE..."|o}} tag and the {{tag|ref|c}} tag will be different.
A workaround is to convert the offending {{tlc|sfn}} templates to {{tlx|harvnb}} wrapped in {{tag|ref}} tags, as recommended in [[#Additional comments or quotes|§ Adding additional comments or quotes]]. This method is more versatile and robust.
Template {{para|ps}} also has a second (rare) use, when setting {{para|ps|none}}, which suppressed the final period. See [[#Variations in the format of the author-date citation|§ Variations in the format of the author-date citation]].
===Parameter {{para|ref}}===
The optional parameter {{para|ref}} was used to create an unusually named link from the short citation to the full citation. This typically would require setting the hand coded link on the full citation as well. It's easier to only set the link of the full citation to {{para|ref|{{tl2|sfnref}}}}.
If you specify {{para|ref|none}}, no hyperlink is created. However, if one does not want the link, it is always possible to simply use plain text instead of the template.
The parameter only appears in <nowiki>{{harv*}}</nowiki> templates, and may still appear in a few articles.
==Open problems==
===Link works but displays a no target error===
When a short-cite template links to a full citation that is rendered by a template that wraps a CS1 template, like {{txl|cite DNB}} (which wraps {{txl|cite encyclopedia}}), a {{error-small|no target}} error may be displayed even when the short-cite template is valid and the link works. That is a "false positive" error. The error message can be suppressed by adding {{para|ignore-err|yes}} to the template, or by adding the template {{t|Sfn whitelist}} with the anchor ID(s) to the article. If you are testing changes in [[Special:ExpandTemplates]] and the error message cannot be suppressed, try testing in a sandbox or user subpage instead.
==={{ucfirst:sfn}} embedded in list-defined ref does not work===
If you [[Help:Footnotes#embedding references|embed]] an {{ucfirst:sfn}} 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}}.
==Implementation notes==
These templates use two elements: a [[wikilink]] in the body of the article, and an [[WP:ANCHOR DEF|anchor]] in the reference section of the article. Clicking on the wikilink repositions the page at the anchor.
===Citation template [[HTML element#Links and anchors|anchor]]===
{{See also|Wikipedia:Citation templates and reference anchors}}
The most common citation templates are {{cs1}} or {{cs2}}. By default, [[Module:Citation/CS1]] creates an [[HTML element#Links and anchors|anchor]] {{tag|a|o|params=name="CITEREF"}} followed by the concatenation of the following parameters:
* '''last''' or '''last1''' or '''surname''' or '''surname1''' or '''author-last''' or '''author-last1''' or '''author1-last''' or '''author-surname''' or '''author-surname1''' or '''author1-surname''' or '''author''' or '''author1''' or '''authors''',
* '''last2''' or '''surname2''' or '''author-last2''' or '''author2-last''' or '''author-surname2''' or '''author2-surname''' or '''author2''',
* '''last3''' or '''surname3''' or '''author-last3''' or '''author3-last''' or '''author-surname3''' or '''author3-surname''' or '''author3''',
* '''last4''' or '''surname4''' or '''author-last4''' or '''author4-last''' or '''author-surname4''' or '''author4-surname''' or '''author4''',

This covers the most common templates. Information about all of the templates is available at [[Wikipedia:Citation templates and reference anchors]].
Use of the '''date''' parameter in place of the '''year''' parameter in citation templates is preferred.
===Harvard citation wikilink===
The Harvard citation templates create a [[wikilink]] to the anchor. For example {{tlx|Harv|Smith|2006|4=p=25}} produces the link {{code|#CITEREFSmith2006}} and {{tlx|Citation|2=last=Smith|3=first=John|4=date=27 January 2006|5=title=My Life}} produces the anchor {{code|CITEREFSmith2006}}.
===Using CITEREF directly===
{{Shortcut|WP:CITEREF}}
A few articles create a custom ID using {{code|CITEREF}}, either in place of the Harvard citation template (e.g. <code><nowiki>[[#CITEREFSmith2006|(2006)]]</nowiki></code>) or as a value for {{para|ref}} in the citation template.
{{Refname rules|A custom ID must follow these rules:|
* If CITEREF is used, then spaces in the {{para|ref}} field must be replaced with underscores}}
Examples:
* {{tlx|sfn|{{var|cite name}}|{{var|year}}}}
* {{tlx|cite book|2=ref=CITEREF{{var|cite_nameyear}}}}
* {{tlx|cite book|2=ref={{tl|sfnref|{{var|cite_name}}|{{var|year}}}}}}
Where {{var|cite_name}} is a name such as the publisher.
To avoid the sometimes difficult to remember syntax for links to CITEREF anchors, {{tl|citeref}} can be used to create internal wikilinks with either small superscript-style labels (like this<sup>[n]</sup>) or plain free-text labels to such anchors. It can be used inside of other citations.
Note that the {{code|CITEREF}} prefix is necessary for the [[mw:Reference Tooltips|reference tooltips gadget]] ([[MediaWiki:Gadget-ReferenceTooltips.js]]) to detect that a link goes to a citation.
===[[Template:sfn|<code><nowiki>{{sfn}}</nowiki></code>]]'s [[WP:REFNAME|ref name]]===
Template {{tl2|sfn}} creates a [[WP:REFNAME|named footnote]], so that identical footnotes are combined automatically. The footnote name begins with {{code|FOOTNOTE}} followed by a concatenation of the arguments to {{tl2|sfn}}. E.g.: this template call {{tlx|sfn|Smith|2006|4=p=26}} should have exactly the same functionality as {{tag|ref|params=name="FOOTNOTESmith200626"|content={{tl|Harvnb|Smith|2006|4=p=26}}.}} which, in turn, has the same functionality as {{tag|ref|params=name="FOOTNOTESmith200626"|content=<nowiki>[[#CITEREFSmith2006|Smith (2006)]], p.&nbsp;26.</nowiki>}}.
{{anchor|url weirdness}}
The ref name becomes more complicated when the page (p) parameter includes a URL, e.g. {{tlg|sfn|Joyce|1903|p{{=}}[https://archive.org/details/aconcisehistory00joycgoog/page/n226 213]|code=on}}, which, once defined, can be called by {{tag|ref|empty|params=name="FOOTNOTEJoyce1903[httpsarchiveorgdetailsaconcisehistory00joycgoogpagen226 213]"}}. The "p=" and the characters |,:,.,/,?,=; are therefore stripped out of the URL. The content of the loc parameter is similarly appended after this.
The call to {{tl2|harvnb}} has been [[subst]]'ed for quicker load times.
{{Fake header|Anchors for some examples}}

{{Lua|Module:Footnotes|Module:Check for unknown parameters}}
The '''shortened footnote template''' {{tl|sfn}} creates a short [[WP:Citing sources#Short citations|author–date citation]] in a [[Wikipedia:Citing sources|footnote]], with a one-directional link to the first matching [[Wikipedia:Citation templates|citation template]] on the same page. It will combine identical footnotes automatically.
It is used to create {{sfnote|lc=y}}, a [[WP:CITESTYLE|citation style]] which pairs a short, author-date citation in a footnote with a [[WP:HOWCITE|complete citation]] in the references section at the end of the article (see example [[#Example|below]]). This citation style is used to simplify multiple citations to the same source and to reduce clutter in the edit window.
Common problems and known workarounds are given in the sections below. Use the table of contents to find what you need.
Note that the use (or even non-use) of these templates is an element of citation "style", and adding or removing them in articles with an established style should be consistent with that style. See [[WP:CITEVAR]].
==Usage==
'''Sfn''' generates an "author-date" style short-cite from the following parameters:
<div style="margin-left: 2em"><code>{{<nowiki>sfn</nowiki>| <{{var|last1}}*> | <{{var|last2}}> | <{{var|last3}}> | <{{var|last4}}> | <{{var|year}}*> | p= <{{var|page}}> | loc= <{{var|location}}> }}</code></div>
with
* <{{var|last1}}> – required; surname of first author or corporate author
* <{{var|last2}}>–<{{var|last4}}> – positional parameters; surnames of next three authors; required if available in the full citation
* <{{var|year}}> – required; four-digit year; may have a lowercase disambiguation letter, like {{pval|2012a}}
* {{para|p}} – specific page referenced in the source (alias: {{para|page}}{{hairspace}})
* {{para|pp}} – comma-separated list of [[Template:Csdoc#pages|individual pages and / or range(s) of pages]] referenced in the source (alias: {{para|pages}}{{hairspace}})
* {{para|loc}} – in-source location when {{para|p}} and {{para|pp}} are inappropriate; may be used to supplement {{para|p}} and {{para|pp}}; information such as a section or figure number. (alias: {{para|at}}{{hairspace}})
=== Example ===
Typical usage is shown in the example below. The text and the footnote are connected by a bi-directional link – clicking on the superscript takes the reader to the footnote, clicking on the footnote number takes them back to the superscript. The clicking on the short citation takes them to the full citation in the references section.
'''Sfn''' will also automatically combine identical footnotes.

Template '''sfn''' is not placed inside {{tag|ref}} tags and generates the footnote internally. (To place '''sfn''' in a footnote, see [[#A citation inside an explanatory footnote|putting a citation inside a footnote]], below.)
===Parameters===
====Author(s) and year====
The first four author surnames (or all authors if fewer than four; use the values from {{para|last''N''}} or {{para|author''N''}}{{hairspace}}) are required, followed by the year of publication (from {{para|year}} or {{para|date}}). Authors past the fourth must be omitted or an error will result.
The [[#Possible issues with author-date link|possible issues]] section below describes workarounds for various common problems, such as [[#Large number of authors|large number of authors]], [[#No author name in citation template|no author name]], [[#More than one work in a year|multiple works in the same year]], [[#Two sources with same last names and years|Two sources with same last names and years]] and others.

====Location in the source text====
Use {{para|p}} for single pages; use {{para|pp}} for multiple pages (such as ranges). Use of {{para|p}} for multiple pages or {{para|pp}} for single pages can cause [[Help:Cite errors/Cite error references duplicate key|cite errors]].
{{para|loc}} can be used to specify a location in the source in another way, such as section numbers or chapters. It can also be combined with {{para|p}} or {{para|pp}}.

==Possible issues with author-date link==
{{for|information on how to turn on error messages for broken links|:Category:Harv and Sfn template errors}}
These are techniques that address various unusual difficulties with the link between the short citation and the full citation.
===Custom anchors===
A custom anchor using {{tl|sfnref}} can, at least temporarily, always make the shortened footnote look exactly the way you would like and still have a link that works. Many of the problems and workarounds below require a custom anchor.
All CS1 citation templates and several other templates allow you to set a custom anchor with parameter {{para|ref}}. The template {{tl|sfnRef}} creates an anchor that will match {{tl|sfn}}'s if it has the same parameters as {{tl|sfn}}. To use this technique, choose the name and year you would like to appear in {{tl|sfn}}, copy these parameters into {{tl|sfnRef}} and set {{tl|ref}} to the {{tl|sfnRef}}.
In other words, if you want this:
* {{tl2|sfn|<*''name you want''>|<''year''>|<''page / location''>}}
then set this:
* {{para|ref|{{tl2|sfnRef|<''name you want''>|<''year''>}}}}
in the template, and the link should work correctly.
The parameters must be <em>identical</em> in every respect. If the year is unusual (i.e. not a number), then include the year in the name and don't use the year position.
===Large number of authors===
If there are more than four authors, the first four authors' surnames (the value in {{para|last}} or {{para|author}}) are required by the template. Listing more authors is not supported. It is also possible to use a [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]] that sets the name field to "Smith et. al.".

}}}}
===More than one work in a year===
Where there is a need to cite more than one work ''by the same author published in the same year'', the standard way to disambiguate such works is to add a letter suffix after the year, e.g. "Smith 2006a" and "Smith 2006b".
Set the year element of the {{tlc|sfn}} templates (e.g. {{tlc|sfn|Smith|2006a}} and {{tlc|sfn|Smith|2006a}}), and add the disambiguation letter to the matching full citation, (e.g. <code><nowiki>{{cite book|...|last=Smith|date=2006b}}</nowiki></code>).
When {{tlc|sfn}} is used with {{tlx|citation}} or {{cs1}} templates, a year-suffix letter may be added to {{para|date}} for all accepted date formats except year-initial numeric ({{small|YYYY-MM-DD}}). It is not necessary to include both {{para|date}} and {{para|year}} (see exception [[#NB_YEAR|below]]). If both are included, {{para|year}} is used for the <code>CITEREF</code> anchor to be compliant with legacy citations.
:{{para|date|2013a}}: simple year only dates
:{{para|date|Jan 2013b}} or {{para|date|Winter 2013b}}: month or season and year dates
:{{para|date|9 November 2013b}} or {{para|date|November 9, 2013b}}: full dates
:{{para|date|June–July 2013c}} or {{para|date|Winter–Spring 2013c}}: month or season ranges and year dates
:{{para|date|c. 2013d}}: circa year dates
:{{para|date|{{#time:Y}}–{{#time:Y|now +1 year}}e}} or {{para|date|Summer {{#time:Y}}–{{#time:y|now +1 year}}e}}: year ranges
:{{para|date|n.d.f}}: no date (n.d.)
:{{anchor|NB_YEAR}}<s>{{para|date|2013g-11-09}}</s>: not supported, the template must use {{para|year|2013g}}. If month and day should be part of the citation as well, both parameters need to be given: {{para|date|2013-11-09}} {{para|year|2013x}}. In this case, {{para|date}} is used for citation display and metadata purposes, and {{para|year}} for link disambiguation.

===Two sources with same last names and years ===
An article might cite works from the same year by two different authors with the same last name. For example, an article might cite psychoanalysts [[Anna Freud]] and [[Sigmund Freud]], who both wrote books in the same year.
There are two solutions: it's possible to use the same technique described in the previous section. To differentiate between the two books, the first one can be given the year "1928a" and the second one "1928b".
Or, you can create a [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]] that adds an initial to the name fields, e.g. "A. Freud" and "S. Freud". The links will no longer conflict.

===No author name in citation template===
Some sources do not have a single author with a last name, such as a magazine article or a report from a government institution. There is no consensus (in Wikipedia or among citation styles) about how to format author–date citations for works that do not have a specific author. Several choices are:
# The title of the article, or a shortened form of the title, is recommended by some style guides.
# For a newspaper or periodical, you may use the name of the paper and the date.
# For a publication by an institution, use either:
## The initials of the institution
## The name of the institution
# Other style guides recommend using "Anonymous" or "Anon."
An article should adopt one of these styles consistently.
Use a [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]] to replace set the author name to one of these other choices, as shown in these examples below.

===Full citation no year but has a date>===
Either the {{para|date}} or {{para|year}} of a citation template can be matched—the template logic can extract the year from a full date. If the date parameter is not a full date, then the extraction will fail. If the link does not seem to work, it also possible to set both {{para|date}} and {{para|year}} parameters. The template will display the date and use the year for the anchor. These two examples show a year being successfully extracted from full date.

===Citation template doesn't create a compatible anchor===
{{See also|[[Wikipedia:Citation templates and reference anchors]])}}
Some templates, such as {{tl|cite comic}} template use the parameter {{para|ref}} to create an anchor for the short citation. This can be used to set a [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]] for {{tl|sfn}}

You could also use CITEREF directly with a concatenation of <code>#CITEREF</code> plus the parameters passed to the Harvard citation template.
===Citation format does not support any kind of anchor===
{{See also|[[Wikipedia:Citation templates and reference anchors]])}}
If the citation is handwritten you should consider the citation format of the article. If citation templates are acceptable here, then try to find one that works for this template. If no template can be found, then this may be a source which can't be represented in our citation templates.
There are also a few templates that do not support any kind of anchor.
For both of these rare cases it is possible to use {{tl2|wikicite}}. It has a {{para|ref}} parameter which can be set to a [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]] that seems appropriate.

===Wikilink to citation does not work===
If an article is using this template, and nothing happens when you click on the highlighted [[wikilink]] from a [[WP:SHORTCITE|short citation]] using a template to a [[WP:SHORTCITE|full citation]] at the bottom of the page, there are several possible solutions. If:
# Templates like this one are rarely used in this article. '''Solution''': Remove this template and format the citation in the style used most often in the article.
# The correct full citation does ''not'' appear at the bottom of the article. '''Solution''': Find the source (it may be copied from an article on a similar subject), and check that it verifies the text. If the source can't be found, replace this template with {{tl2|citation not found}}.
# The correct full citation appears at the bottom of the article, and
## The full citation uses a template from the list at [[Help:Citation Style 1|Citation Style 1]]:
### The name in the short citation is spelled or capitalized differently than in the full citation. '''Solution''': Check the source for the correct spelling, and use the same spelling, spacing, and capitalization in both the short and full citations.
### The template does not have an author's or an editor's, last name (authors take precedence over editors). '''Solution''': See [[#No author name in citation template|§No author name in citation template]], above.
### There is more than one full citation with the same last name(s) and year. '''Solution''': See [[#More than one work in a year|§More than one work in a year]].
### The year is different here than the full citation. '''Solution''': Check the source for the correct year, and use the same year in both the short and full citations.
### The template has a {{para|date}} field and no {{para|year}} field, but the format of the {{para|date}} field is unusual. '''Solution''': Try to fix the date. If the link still does not work, add {{para|year}} to the citation template. (It's okay if it has both.)
### The template does not have a year, or the year is set to "n.d." (no date). '''Solution''': Set the date field of this template to "n.d.".
##The citation template doesn't automatically create the anchor, but has {{para|ref}}. '''Solution''': See [[#Citation template doesn't automatically create the anchor|§Citation template doesn't automatically create the anchor]], above.
##The citation template doesn't support anchors at all. '''Solution''': See [[#Citation format does not support any kind of anchor|§Citation format does not support any kind of anchor]], above.
##The full citation is handwritten.
### There are no other citation templates in the article. This is probably because local editors prefer it that way. '''Solution''': You should adapt to the style of the article. This would probably entail removing this template and formatting the short citation in plain text or replacing it with a full citation in {{tag|ref}} tags.
### There are citation templates used liberally throughout the article. '''Solution''': Reformat the source with the appropriate {{cite *}} template (and set the {{para|ref}} appropriately, if necessary).
### The full citation is handwritten because the source can't be represented by our citation templates at all. '''Solution''': See [[#Citation format does not support any kind of anchor|§Citation format does not support any kind of anchor]], above.
Templates that have broken [[wikilink]]s using these templates are added to the category {{cat|All articles with broken links to citations}}.
== Techniques and variations ==
{{anchor|Additional comments or quotes}}
=== Adding additional comments or quotes ===
The templates {{tl2|harvnb}} or {{tl2|harvtxt}} can be used to add quotes or additional comments into the footnote, in the form of in-text attributions.
{{markup
|<nowiki>
Some information.<ref>{{harvnb|Smith|2011|p=2}}: "A quote verifying the information."</ref>
== Notes ==

===Citations inside explanatory footnotes===
Sometimes an explanatory footnote requires a citation. There are several acceptable solutions.
It is currently disputed (June 2026) whether parenthetical referencing (or narrative referencing, i.e. in-text attribution serving as referencing) is deprecated inside {{tag|ref}} tags used for explanatory footnotes.
Citations using {{tl1|sfn}} can't be directly embedded between {{tag|ref}} tags, because the following message will be produced: {{small|{{error|Cite error references missing group||nocat=true}}}}. But {{tl1|sfn}} can be used with templates {{tl1|efn}} and {{tl1|notelist}}, which separates the explanatory footnotes from the short citations, as shown in this example. (See also [[Chinese Room]], which is an article that makes extensive use of this technique.)

===Adding a URL for the page or location===
If a specific link to the page or section is available, a [[Uniform Resource Locator|URL]] can be added to the location or page number.
{{markup

}}}}
(See [[#url weirdness|below]] for a potential issue with this technique.)
===In text attribution===
{{see also|Wikipedia:Citing sources#In-text attribution}}
Per [[WP:PAREN]], a certain style of short citations using parentheses, placed ''within the article text itself'', is deprecated on Wikipedia. Several examples were raised and discussed during the [[Special:PermanentLink/976895063#Deprecate parenthetical citations|September 2020 request for comments]]. To summarize the consensus reached there:
{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Example !! Consensus
|-
| {{no| The Sun is pretty big. (Miller 2005, p. 1)}} || Formally deprecated; replace with "The Sun is pretty big.{{dummy reference}}"
|-
| {{maybe| The paper by Eek (2020) showed...{{dummy reference}}}} || Wordy, but may be valid as in-text attribution; use "Eek showed...{{dummy reference}}" instead
|-
| {{no| Eek (p. 35) showed...}} || Formally deprecated; use "Eek showed...{{dummy reference}}" instead
|-
| {{maybe| In 2020, Pelagic et al. found that...{{dummy reference}}}} || Wordy, but may be valid as in-text attribution.
|-
| {{no| {{fake link|Smith (2008)}} argued...}} || Formally deprecated; see the following for a non-deprecated alternative
|-
| {{maybe| Smith (2008) argued...{{dummy reference}}}} || May be valid as in-text attribution in contexts where both year and author are encyclopedic information; consider rewriting as "Smith, in 2008, argued...{{dummy reference}}"
|-
| {{yes| Smith argued...{{dummy reference}}}} || Standard non-deprecated format
|}
===Bundled citations===
{{see also|Help:Citation merging |Wikipedia:Citing sources#Bundling citations}}
Template {{tl2|harvnb}} (with <nowiki><ref></nowiki> tags) or {{tl2|sfnm}} can be used to [[WP:CITE#Bundling citations|bundle citations]].

}}
===Multiple lists of inline citations===
Sometimes there is a need to create two or more separate lists of inline footnotes. For example some family trees are contained in templates, they are transluded into several biographies, and they have their own self contained citations (see [[Template:Houston family tree]] and the article [[Margaret Lea Houston]]).
To facilitate this, while the main page uses the standard 1,2,3 footnote counting, it is common for family trees to use the efn template with a group parameter set—for example {{tlx|efn-lg}} (lower-greek). The efn templates are text templates, to link some or all of the content of the efn template to a long citation template such as {{tlx|cite book}} place {{tlx|harvnb}} or {{tlx|harv}} within the efn template.

{{anchor|Ps problems}}
== Other parameters ==
These parameters were designed to handle special cases that are better handled by other techniques.
===Parameter {{para|ps}}===
These templates have a parameter {{para|ps}}, designed to hold quotes and explanations.
Two or more {{tlc|sfn}} templates with the same authors, same year, and same page, but different {{para|ps}} will result in a {{small|{{error|Cite error: The named reference ... was defined multiple times with different content}}}} message. This message happens because the reference names that {{tlc|sfn}} creates will be the same, but the content between the {{tag|ref|params=name="FOOTNOTE..."|o}} tag and the {{tag|ref|c}} tag will be different.
A workaround is to convert the offending {{tlc|sfn}} templates to {{tlx|harvnb}} wrapped in {{tag|ref}} tags, as recommended in [[#Additional comments or quotes|§ Adding additional comments or quotes]]. This method is more versatile and robust.
Template {{para|ps}} also has a second (rare) use, when setting {{para|ps|none}}, which suppressed the final period. See [[#Variations in the format of the author-date citation|§ Variations in the format of the author-date citation]].
===Parameter {{para|ref}}===
The optional parameter {{para|ref}} was used to create an unusually named link from the short citation to the full citation. This typically would require setting the hand coded link on the full citation as well. It's easier to only set the link of the full citation to {{para|ref|{{tl2|sfnref}}}}.
If you specify {{para|ref|none}}, no hyperlink is created. However, if one does not want the link, it is always possible to simply use plain text instead of the template.
The parameter only appears in <nowiki>{{harv*}}</nowiki> templates, and may still appear in a few articles.
==Open problems==
===Link works but displays a no target error===
When a short-cite template links to a full citation that is rendered by a template that wraps a CS1 template, like {{txl|cite DNB}} (which wraps {{txl|cite encyclopedia}}), a {{error-small|no target}} error may be displayed even when the short-cite template is valid and the link works. That is a "false positive" error. The error message can be suppressed by adding {{para|ignore-err|yes}} to the template, or by adding the template {{t|Sfn whitelist}} with the anchor ID(s) to the article. If you are testing changes in [[Special:ExpandTemplates]] and the error message cannot be suppressed, try testing in a sandbox or user subpage instead.
==={{ucfirst:sfn}} embedded in list-defined ref does not work===
If you [[Help:Footnotes#embedding references|embed]] an {{ucfirst:sfn}} 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}}.
==Implementation notes==
These templates use two elements: a [[wikilink]] in the body of the article, and an [[WP:ANCHOR DEF|anchor]] in the reference section of the article. Clicking on the wikilink repositions the page at the anchor.
===Citation template [[HTML element#Links and anchors|anchor]]===
{{See also|Wikipedia:Citation templates and reference anchors}}
The most common citation templates are {{cs1}} or {{cs2}}. By default, [[Module:Citation/CS1]] creates an [[HTML element#Links and anchors|anchor]] {{tag|a|o|params=name="CITEREF"}} followed by the concatenation of the following parameters:
* '''last''' or '''last1''' or '''surname''' or '''surname1''' or '''author-last''' or '''author-last1''' or '''author1-last''' or '''author-surname''' or '''author-surname1''' or '''author1-surname''' or '''author''' or '''author1''' or '''authors''',
* '''last2''' or '''surname2''' or '''author-last2''' or '''author2-last''' or '''author-surname2''' or '''author2-surname''' or '''author2''',
* '''last3''' or '''surname3''' or '''author-last3''' or '''author3-last''' or '''author-surname3''' or '''author3-surname''' or '''author3''',
* '''last4''' or '''surname4''' or '''author-last4''' or '''author4-last''' or '''author-surname4''' or '''author4-surname''' or '''author4''',
* '''editor-last''' or '''editor-last1''' or '''editor1-last''' or '''editor-surname''' or '''editor-surname1''' or '''editor1-surname''' or '''editor1''' or '''editor''',

* '''date''', '''year'''
This covers the most common templates. Information about all of the templates is available at [[Wikipedia:Citation templates and reference anchors]].
Use of the '''date''' parameter in place of the '''year''' parameter in citation templates is preferred.
===Harvard citation wikilink===
The Harvard citation templates create a [[wikilink]] to the anchor. For example {{tlx|Harv|Smith|2006|4=p=25}} produces the link {{code|#CITEREFSmith2006}} and {{tlx|Citation|2=last=Smith|3=first=John|4=date=27 January 2006|5=title=My Life}} produces the anchor {{code|CITEREFSmith2006}}.
===Using CITEREF directly===
{{Shortcut|WP:CITEREF}}
A few articles create a custom ID using {{code|CITEREF}}, either in place of the Harvard citation template (e.g. <code><nowiki>[[#CITEREFSmith2006|(2006)]]</nowiki></code>) or as a value for {{para|ref}} in the citation template.
{{Refname rules|A custom ID must follow these rules:|
* If CITEREF is used, then spaces in the {{para|ref}} field must be replaced with underscores}}
Examples:
* {{tlx|sfn|{{var|cite name}}|{{var|year}}}}
* {{tlx|cite book|2=ref=CITEREF{{var|cite_nameyear}}}}
* {{tlx|cite book|2=ref={{tl|sfnref|{{var|cite_name}}|{{var|year}}}}}}
Where {{var|cite_name}} is a name such as the publisher.
To avoid the sometimes difficult to remember syntax for links to CITEREF anchors, {{tl|citeref}} can be used to create internal wikilinks with either small superscript-style labels (like this<sup>[n]</sup>) or plain free-text labels to such anchors. It can be used inside of other citations.
Note that the {{code|CITEREF}} prefix is necessary for the [[mw:Reference Tooltips|reference tooltips gadget]] ([[MediaWiki:Gadget-ReferenceTooltips.js]]) to detect that a link goes to a citation.
===[[Template:sfn|<code><nowiki>{{sfn}}</nowiki></code>]]'s [[WP:REFNAME|ref name]]===
Template {{tl2|sfn}} creates a [[WP:REFNAME|named footnote]], so that identical footnotes are combined automatically. The footnote name begins with {{code|FOOTNOTE}} followed by a concatenation of the arguments to {{tl2|sfn}}. E.g.: this template call {{tlx|sfn|Smith|2006|4=p=26}} should have exactly the same functionality as {{tag|ref|params=name="FOOTNOTESmith200626"|content={{tl|Harvnb|Smith|2006|4=p=26}}.}} which, in turn, has the same functionality as {{tag|ref|params=name="FOOTNOTESmith200626"|content=<nowiki>[[#CITEREFSmith2006|Smith (2006)]], p.&nbsp;26.</nowiki>}}.
{{anchor|url weirdness}}
The ref name becomes more complicated when the page (p) parameter includes a URL, e.g. {{tlg|sfn|Joyce|1903|p{{=}}[https://archive.org/details/aconcisehistory00joycgoog/page/n226 213]|code=on}}, which, once defined, can be called by {{tag|ref|empty|params=name="FOOTNOTEJoyce1903[httpsarchiveorgdetailsaconcisehistory00joycgoogpagen226 213]"}}. The "p=" and the characters |,:,.,/,?,=; are therefore stripped out of the URL. The content of the loc parameter is similarly appended after this.
The call to {{tl2|harvnb}} has been [[subst]]'ed for quicker load times.
{{Fake header|Anchors for some examples}}

{{Lua|Module:Footnotes|Module:Check for unknown parameters}}
The '''shortened footnote template''' {{tl|sfn}} creates a short [[WP:Citing sources#Short citations|author–date citation]] in a [[Wikipedia:Citing sources|footnote]], with a one-directional link to the first matching [[Wikipedia:Citation templates|citation template]] on the same page. It will combine identical footnotes automatically.
It is used to create {{sfnote|lc=y}}, a [[WP:CITESTYLE|citation style]] which pairs a short, author-date citation in a footnote with a [[WP:HOWCITE|complete citation]] in the references section at the end of the article (see example [[#Example|below]]). This citation style is used to simplify multiple citations to the same source and to reduce clutter in the edit window.
Common problems and known workarounds are given in the sections below. Use the table of contents to find what you need.
Note that the use (or even non-use) of these templates is an element of citation "style", and adding or removing them in articles with an established style should be consistent with that style. See [[WP:CITEVAR]].
==Usage==
'''Sfn''' generates an "author-date" style short-cite from the following parameters:
<div style="margin-left: 2em"><code>{{<nowiki>sfn</nowiki>| <{{var|last1}}*> | <{{var|last2}}> | <{{var|last3}}> | <{{var|last4}}> | <{{var|year}}*> | p= <{{var|page}}> | loc= <{{var|location}}> }}</code></div>
with
* <{{var|last1}}> – required; surname of first author or corporate author
* <{{var|last2}}>–<{{var|last4}}> – positional parameters; surnames of next three authors; required if available in the full citation
* <{{var|year}}> – required; four-digit year; may have a lowercase disambiguation letter, like {{pval|2012a}}
* {{para|p}} – specific page referenced in the source (alias: {{para|page}}{{hairspace}})
* {{para|pp}} – comma-separated list of [[Template:Csdoc#pages|individual pages and / or range(s) of pages]] referenced in the source (alias: {{para|pages}}{{hairspace}})
* {{para|loc}} – in-source location when {{para|p}} and {{para|pp}} are inappropriate; may be used to supplement {{para|p}} and {{para|pp}}; information such as a section or figure number. (alias: {{para|at}}{{hairspace}})
=== Example ===
Typical usage is shown in the example below. The text and the footnote are connected by a bi-directional link – clicking on the superscript takes the reader to the footnote, clicking on the footnote number takes them back to the superscript. The clicking on the short citation takes them to the full citation in the references section.
'''Sfn''' will also automatically combine identical footnotes.

Template '''sfn''' is not placed inside {{tag|ref}} tags and generates the footnote internally. (To place '''sfn''' in a footnote, see [[#A citation inside an explanatory footnote|putting a citation inside a footnote]], below.)
===Parameters===
====Author(s) and year====
The first four author surnames (or all authors if fewer than four; use the values from {{para|last''N''}} or {{para|author''N''}}{{hairspace}}) are required, followed by the year of publication (from {{para|year}} or {{para|date}}). Authors past the fourth must be omitted or an error will result.
The [[#Possible issues with author-date link|possible issues]] section below describes workarounds for various common problems, such as [[#Large number of authors|large number of authors]], [[#No author name in citation template|no author name]], [[#More than one work in a year|multiple works in the same year]], [[#Two sources with same last names and years|Two sources with same last names and years]] and others.

Use {{para|p}} for single pages; use {{para|pp}} for multiple pages (such as ranges). Use of {{para|p}} for multiple pages or {{para|pp}} for single pages can cause [[Help:Cite errors/Cite error references duplicate key|cite errors]].
{{para|loc}} can be used to specify a location in the source in another way, such as section numbers or chapters. It can also be combined with {{para|p}} or {{para|pp}}.

==Possible issues with author-date link==
{{for|information on how to turn on error messages for broken links|:Category:Harv and Sfn template errors}}
These are techniques that address various unusual difficulties with the link between the short citation and the full citation.
===Custom anchors===
A custom anchor using {{tl|sfnref}} can, at least temporarily, always make the shortened footnote look exactly the way you would like and still have a link that works. Many of the problems and workarounds below require a custom anchor.
All CS1 citation templates and several other templates allow you to set a custom anchor with parameter {{para|ref}}. The template {{tl|sfnRef}} creates an anchor that will match {{tl|sfn}}'s if it has the same parameters as {{tl|sfn}}. To use this technique, choose the name and year you would like to appear in {{tl|sfn}}, copy these parameters into {{tl|sfnRef}} and set {{tl|ref}} to the {{tl|sfnRef}}.
In other words, if you want this:
* {{tl2|sfn|<*''name you want''>|<''year''>|<''page / location''>}}
then set this:
* {{para|ref|{{tl2|sfnRef|<''name you want''>|<''year''>}}}}
in the template, and the link should work correctly.
The parameters must be <em>identical</em> in every respect. If the year is unusual (i.e. not a number), then include the year in the name and don't use the year position.
===Large number of authors===
If there are more than four authors, the first four authors' surnames (the value in {{para|last}} or {{para|author}}) are required by the template. Listing more authors is not supported. It is also possible to use a [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]] that sets the name field to "Smith et. al.".

}}}}
===More than one work in a year===
Where there is a need to cite more than one work ''by the same author published in the same year'', the standard way to disambiguate such works is to add a letter suffix after the year, e.g. "Smith 2006a" and "Smith 2006b".
Set the year element of the {{tlc|sfn}} templates (e.g. {{tlc|sfn|Smith|2006a}} and {{tlc|sfn|Smith|2006a}}), and add the disambiguation letter to the matching full citation, (e.g. <code><nowiki>{{cite book|...|last=Smith|date=2006b}}</nowiki></code>).
When {{tlc|sfn}} is used with {{tlx|citation}} or {{cs1}} templates, a year-suffix letter may be added to {{para|date}} for all accepted date formats except year-initial numeric ({{small|YYYY-MM-DD}}). It is not necessary to include both {{para|date}} and {{para|year}} (see exception [[#NB_YEAR|below]]). If both are included, {{para|year}} is used for the <code>CITEREF</code> anchor to be compliant with legacy citations.
:{{para|date|2013a}}: simple year only dates
:{{para|date|Jan 2013b}} or {{para|date|Winter 2013b}}: month or season and year dates
:{{para|date|9 November 2013b}} or {{para|date|November 9, 2013b}}: full dates
:{{para|date|June–July 2013c}} or {{para|date|Winter–Spring 2013c}}: month or season ranges and year dates
:{{para|date|c. 2013d}}: circa year dates
:{{para|date|{{#time:Y}}–{{#time:Y|now +1 year}}e}} or {{para|date|Summer {{#time:Y}}–{{#time:y|now +1 year}}e}}: year ranges
:{{para|date|n.d.f}}: no date (n.d.)
:{{anchor|NB_YEAR}}<s>{{para|date|2013g-11-09}}</s>: not supported, the template must use {{para|year|2013g}}. If month and day should be part of the citation as well, both parameters need to be given: {{para|date|2013-11-09}} {{para|year|2013x}}. In this case, {{para|date}} is used for citation display and metadata purposes, and {{para|year}} for link disambiguation.

===Two sources with same last names and years ===
An article might cite works from the same year by two different authors with the same last name. For example, an article might cite psychoanalysts [[Anna Freud]] and [[Sigmund Freud]], who both wrote books in the same year.
There are two solutions: it's possible to use the same technique described in the previous section. To differentiate between the two books, the first one can be given the year "1928a" and the second one "1928b".
Or, you can create a [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]] that adds an initial to the name fields, e.g. "A. Freud" and "S. Freud". The links will no longer conflict.

===No author name in citation template===
Some sources do not have a single author with a last name, such as a magazine article or a report from a government institution. There is no consensus (in Wikipedia or among citation styles) about how to format author–date citations for works that do not have a specific author. Several choices are:
# The title of the article, or a shortened form of the title, is recommended by some style guides.
# For a newspaper or periodical, you may use the name of the paper and the date.
# For a publication by an institution, use either:
## The initials of the institution
## The name of the institution
# Other style guides recommend using "Anonymous" or "Anon."
An article should adopt one of these styles consistently.
Use a [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]] to replace set the author name to one of these other choices, as shown in these examples below.

===Full citation no year but has a date===
Either the {{para|date}} or {{para|year}} of a citation template can be matched—the template logic can extract the year from a full date. If the date parameter is not a full date, then the extraction will fail. If the link does not seem to work, it also possible to set both {{para|date}} and {{para|year}} parameters. The template will display the date and use the year for the anchor. These two examples show a year being successfully extracted from full date.

=== No date, author, or title ===
If the cited source does not have a date, author, or title, place a description of the source within brackets for the {{para|title}} parameter, use {{para|date|n.d.}} and create [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]] with the description in the name position and "n.d." in the year.

===Citation template doesn't create a compatible anchor===
{{See also|[[Wikipedia:Citation templates and reference anchors]])}}
Some templates, such as {{tl|cite comic}} template use the parameter {{para|ref}} to create an anchor for the short citation. This can be used to set a [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]] for {{tl|sfn}}
{{markup
|<nowiki>Article text.{{sfn|Morrison|1987}}

{{reflist}}
==References==
* {{cite comic

You could also use CITEREF directly with a concatenation of <code>#CITEREF</code> plus the parameters passed to the Harvard citation template.
===Citation format does not support any kind of anchor===
{{See also|[[Wikipedia:Citation templates and reference anchors]])}}
If the citation is handwritten you should consider the citation format of the article. If citation templates are acceptable here, then try to find one that works for this template. If no template can be found, then this may be a source which can't be represented in our citation templates.
There are also a few templates that do not support any kind of anchor.
For both of these rare cases it is possible to use {{tl2|wikicite}}. It has a {{para|ref}} parameter which can be set to a [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]] that seems appropriate.

===Wikilink to citation does not work===
If an article is using this template, and nothing happens when you click on the highlighted [[wikilink]] from a [[WP:SHORTCITE|short citation]] using a template to a [[WP:SHORTCITE|full citation]] at the bottom of the page, there are several possible solutions. If:
# Templates like this one are rarely used in this article. '''Solution''': Remove this template and format the citation in the style used most often in the article.
# The correct full citation does ''not'' appear at the bottom of the article. '''Solution''': Find the source (it may be copied from an article on a similar subject), and check that it verifies the text. If the source can't be found, replace this template with {{tl2|citation not found}}.
# The correct full citation appears at the bottom of the article, and
## The full citation uses a template from the list at [[Help:Citation Style 1|Citation Style 1]]:
### The name in the short citation is spelled or capitalized differently than in the full citation. '''Solution''': Check the source for the correct spelling, and use the same spelling, spacing, and capitalization in both the short and full citations.
### The template does not have an author's or an editor's, last name (authors take precedence over editors). '''Solution''': See [[#No author name in citation template|§No author name in citation template]], above.
### There is more than one full citation with the same last name(s) and year. '''Solution''': See [[#More than one work in a year|§More than one work in a year]].
### The year is different here than the full citation. '''Solution''': Check the source for the correct year, and use the same year in both the short and full citations.
### The template has a {{para|date}} field and no {{para|year}} field, but the format of the {{para|date}} field is unusual. '''Solution''': Try to fix the date. If the link still does not work, add {{para|year}} to the citation template. (It's okay if it has both.)
### The template does not have a year, or the year is set to "n.d." (no date). '''Solution''': Set the date field of this template to "n.d.".
##The citation template doesn't automatically create the anchor, but has {{para|ref}}. '''Solution''': See [[#Citation template doesn't automatically create the anchor|§Citation template doesn't automatically create the anchor]], above.
##The citation template doesn't support anchors at all. '''Solution''': See [[#Citation format does not support any kind of anchor|§Citation format does not support any kind of anchor]], above.
##The full citation is handwritten.
### There are no other citation templates in the article. This is probably because local editors prefer it that way. '''Solution''': You should adapt to the style of the article. This would probably entail removing this template and formatting the short citation in plain text or replacing it with a full citation in {{tag|ref}} tags.
### There are citation templates used liberally throughout the article. '''Solution''': Reformat the source with the appropriate {{cite *}} template (and set the {{para|ref}} appropriately, if necessary).
### The full citation is handwritten because the source can't be represented by our citation templates at all. '''Solution''': See [[#Citation format does not support any kind of anchor|§Citation format does not support any kind of anchor]], above.
Templates that have broken [[wikilink]]s using these templates are added to the category {{cat|All articles with broken links to citations}}.
== Techniques and variations ==
{{anchor|Additional comments or quotes}}
=== Adding additional comments or quotes ===
The templates {{tl2|harvnb}} or {{tl2|harvtxt}} can be used to add quotes or additional comments into the footnote, in the form of in-text attributions.
{{markup
|<nowiki>
Some information.<ref>{{harvnb|Smith|2011|p=2}}: "A quote verifying the information."</ref>
== Notes ==
{{reflist}}
</nowiki>|

{{reflist}}
}}
===Citations inside explanatory footnotes===
Sometimes an explanatory footnote requires a citation. There are several acceptable solutions.
It is currently disputed (June 2026) whether parenthetical referencing (or narrative referencing, i.e. in-text attribution serving as referencing) is deprecated inside {{tag|ref}} tags used for explanatory footnotes.
Citations using {{tl1|sfn}} can't be directly embedded between {{tag|ref}} tags, because the following message will be produced: {{small|{{error|Cite error references missing group||nocat=true}}}}. But {{tl1|sfn}} can be used with templates {{tl1|efn}} and {{tl1|notelist}}, which separates the explanatory footnotes from the short citations, as shown in this example. (See also [[Chinese Room]], which is an article that makes extensive use of this technique.)

===Adding a URL for the page or location===
If a specific link to the page or section is available, a [[Uniform Resource Locator|URL]] can be added to the location or page number.
{{markup

}}}}
(See [[#url weirdness|below]] for a potential issue with this technique.)
===In text attribution===
{{see also|Wikipedia:Citing sources#In-text attribution}}
Per [[WP:PAREN]], a certain style of short citations using parentheses, placed ''within the article text itself'', is deprecated on Wikipedia. Several examples were raised and discussed during the [[Special:PermanentLink/976895063#Deprecate parenthetical citations|September 2020 request for comments]]. To summarize the consensus reached there:
{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Example !! Consensus
|-
| {{no| The Sun is pretty big. (Miller 2005, p. 1)}} || Formally deprecated; replace with "The Sun is pretty big.{{dummy reference}}"
|-
| {{maybe| The paper by Eek (2020) showed...{{dummy reference}}}} || Wordy, but may be valid as in-text attribution; use "Eek showed...{{dummy reference}}" instead
|-
| {{no| Eek (p. 35) showed...}} || Formally deprecated; use "Eek showed...{{dummy reference}}" instead
|-
| {{maybe| In 2020, Pelagic et al. found that...{{dummy reference}}}} || Wordy, but may be valid as in-text attribution.
|-
| {{no| {{fake link|Smith (2008)}} argued...}} || Formally deprecated; see the following for a non-deprecated alternative
|-
| {{maybe| Smith (2008) argued...{{dummy reference}}}} || May be valid as in-text attribution in contexts where both year and author are encyclopedic information; consider rewriting as "Smith, in 2008, argued...{{dummy reference}}"
|-
| {{yes| Smith argued...{{dummy reference}}}} || Standard non-deprecated format
|}
===Bundled citations===
{{see also|Help:Citation merging |Wikipedia:Citing sources#Bundling citations}}
Template {{tl2|harvnb}} (with <nowiki><ref></nowiki> tags) or {{tl2|sfnm}} can be used to [[WP:CITE#Bundling citations|bundle citations]].

}}
===Multiple lists of inline citations===
Sometimes there is a need to create two or more separate lists of inline footnotes. For example some family trees are contained in templates, they are transluded into several biographies, and they have their own self contained citations (see [[Template:Houston family tree]] and the article [[Margaret Lea Houston]]).
To facilitate this, while the main page uses the standard 1,2,3 footnote counting, it is common for family trees to use the efn template with a group parameter set—for example {{tlx|efn-lg}} (lower-greek). The efn templates are text templates, to link some or all of the content of the efn template to a long citation template such as {{tlx|cite book}} place {{tlx|harvnb}} or {{tlx|harv}} within the efn template.

{{anchor|Ps problems}}
== Other parameters ==
These parameters were designed to handle special cases that are better handled by other techniques.
===Parameter {{para|ps}}===
These templates have a parameter {{para|ps}}, designed to hold quotes and explanations.
Two or more {{tlc|sfn}} templates with the same authors, same year, and same page, but different {{para|ps}} will result in a {{small|{{error|Cite error: The named reference ... was defined multiple times with different content}}}} message. This message happens because the reference names that {{tlc|sfn}} creates will be the same, but the content between the {{tag|ref|params=name="FOOTNOTE..."|o}} tag and the {{tag|ref|c}} tag will be different.
A workaround is to convert the offending {{tlc|sfn}} templates to {{tlx|harvnb}} wrapped in {{tag|ref}} tags, as recommended in [[#Additional comments or quotes|§ Adding additional comments or quotes]]. This method is more versatile and robust.
Template {{para|ps}} also has a second (rare) use, when setting {{para|ps|none}}, which suppressed the final period. See [[#Variations in the format of the author-date citation|§ Variations in the format of the author-date citation]].
===Parameter {{para|ref}}===
The optional parameter {{para|ref}} was used to create an unusually named link from the short citation to the full citation. This typically would require setting the hand coded link on the full citation as well. It's easier to only set the link of the full citation to {{para|ref|{{tl2|sfnref}}}}.
If you specify {{para|ref|none}}, no hyperlink is created. However, if one does not want the link, it is always possible to simply use plain text instead of the template.
The parameter only appears in <nowiki>{{harv*}}</nowiki> templates, and may still appear in a few articles.
==Open problems==
===Link works but displays a no target error===
When a short-cite template links to a full citation that is rendered by a template that wraps a CS1 template, like {{txl|cite DNB}} (which wraps {{txl|cite encyclopedia}}), a {{error-small|no target}} error may be displayed even when the short-cite template is valid and the link works. That is a "false positive" error. The error message can be suppressed by adding {{para|ignore-err|yes}} to the template, or by adding the template {{t|Sfn whitelist}} with the anchor ID(s) to the article. If you are testing changes in [[Special:ExpandTemplates]] and the error message cannot be suppressed, try testing in a sandbox or user subpage instead.
==={{ucfirst:sfn}} embedded in list-defined ref does not work===
If you [[Help:Footnotes#embedding references|embed]] an {{ucfirst:sfn}} 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}}.
==Implementation notes==
These templates use two elements: a [[wikilink]] in the body of the article, and an [[WP:ANCHOR DEF|anchor]] in the reference section of the article. Clicking on the wikilink repositions the page at the anchor.
===Citation template [[HTML element#Links and anchors|anchor]]===
{{See also|Wikipedia:Citation templates and reference anchors}}
The most common citation templates are {{cs1}} or {{cs2}}. By default, [[Module:Citation/CS1]] creates an [[HTML element#Links and anchors|anchor]] {{tag|a|o|params=name="CITEREF"}} followed by the concatenation of the following parameters:

This covers the most common templates. Information about all of the templates is available at [[Wikipedia:Citation templates and reference anchors]].
Use of the '''date''' parameter in place of the '''year''' parameter in citation templates is preferred.
===Harvard citation wikilink===
The Harvard citation templates create a [[wikilink]] to the anchor. For example {{tlx|Harv|Smith|2006|4=p=25}} produces the link {{code|#CITEREFSmith2006}} and {{tlx|Citation|2=last=Smith|3=first=John|4=date=27 January 2006|5=title=My Life}} produces the anchor {{code|CITEREFSmith2006}}.
===Using CITEREF directly===
{{Shortcut|WP:CITEREF}}
A few articles create a custom ID using {{code|CITEREF}}, either in place of the Harvard citation template (e.g. <code><nowiki>[[#CITEREFSmith2006|(2006)]]</nowiki></code>) or as a value for {{para|ref}} in the citation template.
{{Refname rules|A custom ID must follow these rules:|
* If CITEREF is used, then spaces in the {{para|ref}} field must be replaced with underscores}}
Examples:
* {{tlx|sfn|{{var|cite name}}|{{var|year}}}}
* {{tlx|cite book|2=ref=CITEREF{{var|cite_nameyear}}}}
* {{tlx|cite book|2=ref={{tl|sfnref|{{var|cite_name}}|{{var|year}}}}}}
Where {{var|cite_name}} is a name such as the publisher.
To avoid the sometimes difficult to remember syntax for links to CITEREF anchors, {{tl|citeref}} can be used to create internal wikilinks with either small superscript-style labels (like this<sup>[n]</sup>) or plain free-text labels to such anchors. It can be used inside of other citations.
Note that the {{code|CITEREF}} prefix is necessary for the [[mw:Reference Tooltips|reference tooltips gadget]] ([[MediaWiki:Gadget-ReferenceTooltips.js]]) to detect that a link goes to a citation.
===[[Template:sfn|<code><nowiki>{{sfn}}</nowiki></code>]]'s [[WP:REFNAME|ref name]]===
Template {{tl2|sfn}} creates a [[WP:REFNAME|named footnote]], so that identical footnotes are combined automatically. The footnote name begins with {{code|FOOTNOTE}} followed by a concatenation of the arguments to {{tl2|sfn}}. E.g.: this template call {{tlx|sfn|Smith|2006|4=p=26}} should have exactly the same functionality as {{tag|ref|params=name="FOOTNOTESmith200626"|content={{tl|Harvnb|Smith|2006|4=p=26}}.}} which, in turn, has the same functionality as {{tag|ref|params=name="FOOTNOTESmith200626"|content=<nowiki>[[#CITEREFSmith2006|Smith (2006)]], p.&nbsp;26.</nowiki>}}.
{{anchor|url weirdness}}
The ref name becomes more complicated when the page (p) parameter includes a URL, e.g. {{tlg|sfn|Joyce|1903|p{{=}}[https://archive.org/details/aconcisehistory00joycgoog/page/n226 213]|code=on}}, which, once defined, can be called by {{tag|ref|empty|params=name="FOOTNOTEJoyce1903[httpsarchiveorgdetailsaconcisehistory00joycgoogpagen226 213]"}}. The "p=" and the characters |,:,.,/,?,=; are therefore stripped out of the URL. The content of the loc parameter is similarly appended after this.
The call to {{tl2|harvnb}} has been [[subst]]'ed for quicker load times.
{{Fake header|Anchors for some examples}}

{{Lua|Module:Footnotes|Module:Check for unknown parameters}}
The '''shortened footnote template''' {{tl|sfn}} creates a short [[WP:Citing sources#Short citations|author–date citation]] in a [[Wikipedia:Citing sources|footnote]], with a one-directional link to the first matching [[Wikipedia:Citation templates|citation template]] on the same page. It will combine identical footnotes automatically.
It is used to create {{sfnote|lc=y}}, a [[WP:CITESTYLE|citation style]] which pairs a short, author-date citation in a footnote with a [[WP:HOWCITE|complete citation]] in the references section at the end of the article (see example [[#Example|below]]). This citation style is used to simplify multiple citations to the same source and to reduce clutter in the edit window.
Common problems and known workarounds are given in the sections below. Use the table of contents to find what you need.
Note that the use (or even non-use) of these templates is an element of citation "style", and adding or removing them in articles with an established style should be consistent with that style. See [[WP:CITEVAR]].
==Usage==
'''Sfn''' generates an "author-date" style short-cite from the following parameters:
<div style="margin-left: 2em"><code>{{<nowiki>sfn</nowiki>| <{{var|last1}}*> | <{{var|last2}}> | <{{var|last3}}> | <{{var|last4}}> | <{{var|year}}*> | p= <{{var|page}}> | loc= <{{var|location}}> }}</code></div>
with
* <{{var|last1}}> – required; surname of first author or corporate author
* <{{var|last2}}>–<{{var|last4}}> – positional parameters; surnames of next three authors; required if available in the full citation
* <{{var|year}}> – required; four-digit year; may have a lowercase disambiguation letter, like {{pval|2012a}}
* {{para|p}} – specific page referenced in the source (alias: {{para|page}}{{hairspace}})
* {{para|pp}} – comma-separated list of [[Template:Csdoc#pages|individual pages and / or range(s) of pages]] referenced in the source (alias: {{para|pages}}{{hairspace}})
* {{para|loc}} – in-source location when {{para|p}} and {{para|pp}} are inappropriate; may be used to supplement {{para|p}} and {{para|pp}}; information such as a section or figure number. (alias: {{para|at}}{{hairspace}})
=== Example ===
Typical usage is shown in the example below. The text and the footnote are connected by a bi-directional link – clicking on the superscript takes the reader to the footnote, clicking on the footnote number takes them back to the superscript. The clicking on the short citation takes them to the full citation in the references section.
'''Sfn''' will also automatically combine identical footnotes.

Template '''sfn''' is not placed inside {{tag|ref}} tags and generates the footnote internally. (To place '''sfn''' in a footnote, see [[#A citation inside an explanatory footnote|putting a citation inside a footnote]], below.)
===Parameters===
====Author(s) and year====
The first four author surnames (or all authors if fewer than four; use the values from {{para|last''N''}} or {{para|author''N''}}{{hairspace}}) are required, followed by the year of publication (from {{para|year}} or {{para|date}}). Authors past the fourth must be omitted or an error will result.
The [[#Possible issues with author-date link|possible issues]] section below describes workarounds for various common problems, such as [[#Large number of authors|large number of authors]], [[#No author name in citation template|no author name]], [[#More than one work in a year|multiple works in the same year]], [[#Two sources with same last names and years|Two sources with same last names and years]] and others.

{{para|loc}} can be used to specify a location in the source in another way, such as section numbers or chapters. It can also be combined with {{para|p}} or {{para|pp}}.

==Possible issues with author-date link==
{{for|information on how to turn on error messages for broken links|:Category:Harv and Sfn template errors}}
These are techniques that address various unusual difficulties with the link between the short citation and the full citation.
===Custom anchors===
A custom anchor using {{tl|sfnref}} can, at least temporarily, always make the shortened footnote look exactly the way you would like and still have a link that works. Many of the problems and workarounds below require a custom anchor.
All CS1 citation templates and several other templates allow you to set a custom anchor with parameter {{para|ref}}. The template {{tl|sfnRef}} creates an anchor that will match {{tl|sfn}}'s if it has the same parameters as {{tl|sfn}}. To use this technique, choose the name and year you would like to appear in {{tl|sfn}}, copy these parameters into {{tl|sfnRef}} and set {{tl|ref}} to the {{tl|sfnRef}}.
In other words, if you want this:
* {{tl2|sfn|<*''name you want''>|<''year''>|<''page / location''>}}
then set this:
* {{para|ref|{{tl2|sfnRef|<''name you want''>|<''year''>}}}}
in the template, and the link should work correctly.
The parameters must be <em>identical</em> in every respect. If the year is unusual (i.e. not a number), then include the year in the name and don't use the year position.
===Large number of authors===
If there are more than four authors, the first four authors' surnames (the value in {{para|last}} or {{para|author}}) are required by the template. Listing more authors is not supported. It is also possible to use a [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]] that sets the name field to "Smith et. al.".

}}}}
===More than one work in a year===
Where there is a need to cite more than one work ''by the same author published in the same year'', the standard way to disambiguate such works is to add a letter suffix after the year, e.g. "Smith 2006a" and "Smith 2006b".
Set the year element of the {{tlc|sfn}} templates (e.g. {{tlc|sfn|Smith|2006a}} and {{tlc|sfn|Smith|2006a}}), and add the disambiguation letter to the matching full citation, (e.g. <code><nowiki>{{cite book|...|last=Smith|date=2006b}}</nowiki></code>).
When {{tlc|sfn}} is used with {{tlx|citation}} or {{cs1}} templates, a year-suffix letter may be added to {{para|date}} for all accepted date formats except year-initial numeric ({{small|YYYY-MM-DD}}). It is not necessary to include both {{para|date}} and {{para|year}} (see exception [[#NB_YEAR|below]]). If both are included, {{para|year}} is used for the <code>CITEREF</code> anchor to be compliant with legacy citations.
:{{para|date|2013a}}: simple year only dates
:{{para|date|Jan 2013b}} or {{para|date|Winter 2013b}}: month or season and year dates
:{{para|date|9 November 2013b}} or {{para|date|November 9, 2013b}}: full dates
:{{para|date|June–July 2013c}} or {{para|date|Winter–Spring 2013c}}: month or season ranges and year dates
:{{para|date|c. 2013d}}: circa year dates
:{{para|date|{{#time:Y}}–{{#time:Y|now +1 year}}e}} or {{para|date|Summer {{#time:Y}}–{{#time:y|now +1 year}}e}}: year ranges
:{{para|date|n.d.f}}: no date (n.d.)
:{{anchor|NB_YEAR}}<s>{{para|date|2013g-11-09}}</s>: not supported, the template must use {{para|year|2013g}}. If month and day should be part of the citation as well, both parameters need to be given: {{para|date|2013-11-09}} {{para|year|2013x}}. In this case, {{para|date}} is used for citation display and metadata purposes, and {{para|year}} for link disambiguation.

===Two sources with same last names and years ===
An article might cite works from the same year by two different authors with the same last name. For example, an article might cite psychoanalysts [[Anna Freud]] and [[Sigmund Freud]], who both wrote books in the same year.
There are two solutions: it's possible to use the same technique described in the previous section. To differentiate between the two books, the first one can be given the year "1928a" and the second one "1928b".
Or, you can create a [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]] that adds an initial to the name fields, e.g. "A. Freud" and "S. Freud". The links will no longer conflict.

===No author name in citation template===
Some sources do not have a single author with a last name, such as a magazine article or a report from a government institution. There is no consensus (in Wikipedia or among citation styles) about how to format author–date citations for works that do not have a specific author. Several choices are:
# The title of the article, or a shortened form of the title, is recommended by some style guides.
# For a newspaper or periodical, you may use the name of the paper and the date.
# For a publication by an institution, use either:
## The initials of the institution
## The name of the institution
# Other style guides recommend using "Anonymous" or "Anon."
An article should adopt one of these styles consistently.
Use a [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]] to replace set the author name to one of these other choices, as shown in these examples below.

===Full citation has no year but has a date===
Either the {{para|date}} or {{para|year}} of a citation template can be matched—the template logic can extract the year from a full date. If the date parameter is not a full date, then the extraction will fail. If the link does not seem to work, it also possible to set both {{para|date}} and {{para|year}} parameters. The template will display the date and use the year for the anchor. These two examples show a year being successfully extracted from full date.

===Citation template doesn't create a compatible anchor===
{{See also|[[Wikipedia:Citation templates and reference anchors]])}}
Some templates, such as {{tl|cite comic}} template use the parameter {{para|ref}} to create an anchor for the short citation. This can be used to set a [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]] for {{tl|sfn}}

You could also use CITEREF directly with a concatenation of <code>#CITEREF</code> plus the parameters passed to the Harvard citation template.
===Citation format does not support any kind of anchor===
{{See also|[[Wikipedia:Citation templates and reference anchors]])}}
If the citation is handwritten you should consider the citation format of the article. If citation templates are acceptable here, then try to find one that works for this template. If no template can be found, then this may be a source which can't be represented in our citation templates.
There are also a few templates that do not support any kind of anchor.
For both of these rare cases it is possible to use {{tl2|wikicite}}. It has a {{para|ref}} parameter which can be set to a [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]] that seems appropriate.

===Wikilink to citation does not work===
If an article is using this template, and nothing happens when you click on the highlighted [[wikilink]] from a [[WP:SHORTCITE|short citation]] using a template to a [[WP:SHORTCITE|full citation]] at the bottom of the page, there are several possible solutions. If:
# Templates like this one are rarely used in this article. '''Solution''': Remove this template and format the citation in the style used most often in the article.
# The correct full citation does ''not'' appear at the bottom of the article. '''Solution''': Find the source (it may be copied from an article on a similar subject), and check that it verifies the text. If the source can't be found, replace this template with {{tl2|citation not found}}.
# The correct full citation appears at the bottom of the article, and
## The full citation uses a template from the list at [[Help:Citation Style 1|Citation Style 1]]:
### The name in the short citation is spelled or capitalized differently than in the full citation. '''Solution''': Check the source for the correct spelling, and use the same spelling, spacing, and capitalization in both the short and full citations.
### The template does not have an author's or an editor's, last name (authors take precedence over editors). '''Solution''': See [[#No author name in citation template|§No author name in citation template]], above.
### There is more than one full citation with the same last name(s) and year. '''Solution''': See [[#More than one work in a year|§More than one work in a year]].
### The year is different here than the full citation. '''Solution''': Check the source for the correct year, and use the same year in both the short and full citations.
### The template has a {{para|date}} field and no {{para|year}} field, but the format of the {{para|date}} field is unusual. '''Solution''': Try to fix the date. If the link still does not work, add {{para|year}} to the citation template. (It's okay if it has both.)
### The template does not have a year, or the year is set to "n.d." (no date). '''Solution''': Set the date field of this template to "n.d.".
##The citation template doesn't automatically create the anchor, but has {{para|ref}}. '''Solution''': See [[#Citation template doesn't automatically create the anchor|§Citation template doesn't automatically create the anchor]], above.
##The citation template doesn't support anchors at all. '''Solution''': See [[#Citation format does not support any kind of anchor|§Citation format does not support any kind of anchor]], above.
##The full citation is handwritten.
### There are no other citation templates in the article. This is probably because local editors prefer it that way. '''Solution''': You should adapt to the style of the article. This would probably entail removing this template and formatting the short citation in plain text or replacing it with a full citation in {{tag|ref}} tags.
### There are citation templates used liberally throughout the article. '''Solution''': Reformat the source with the appropriate {{cite *}} template (and set the {{para|ref}} appropriately, if necessary).
### The full citation is handwritten because the source can't be represented by our citation templates at all. '''Solution''': See [[#Citation format does not support any kind of anchor|§Citation format does not support any kind of anchor]], above.
Templates that have broken [[wikilink]]s using these templates are added to the category {{cat|All articles with broken links to citations}}.
== Techniques and variations ==
{{anchor|Additional comments or quotes}}
=== Adding additional comments or quotes ===
The templates {{tl2|harvnb}} or {{tl2|harvtxt}} can be used to add quotes or additional comments into the footnote, in the form of in-text attributions.
{{markup
|<nowiki>
Some information.<ref>{{harvnb|Smith|2011|p=2}}: "A quote verifying the information."</ref>
== Notes ==

}}
===Citations inside explanatory footnotes===
Sometimes an explanatory footnote requires a citation. There are several acceptable solutions.
It is currently disputed (June 2026) whether parenthetical referencing (or narrative referencing, i.e. in-text attribution serving as referencing) is deprecated inside {{tag|ref}} tags used for explanatory footnotes.
Citations using {{tl1|sfn}} can't be directly embedded between {{tag|ref}} tags, because the following message will be produced: {{small|{{error|Cite error references missing group||nocat=true}}}}. But {{tl1|sfn}} can be used with templates {{tl1|efn}} and {{tl1|notelist}}, which separates the explanatory footnotes from the short citations, as shown in this example. (See also [[Chinese Room]], which is an article that makes extensive use of this technique.)

===Adding a URL for the page or location===
If a specific link to the page or section is available, a [[Uniform Resource Locator|URL]] can be added to the location or page number.
{{markup

}}}}
(See [[#url weirdness|below]] for a potential issue with this technique.)
===In text attribution===
{{see also|Wikipedia:Citing sources#In-text attribution}}
Per [[WP:PAREN]], a certain style of short citations using parentheses, placed ''within the article text itself'', is deprecated on Wikipedia. Several examples were raised and discussed during the [[Special:PermanentLink/976895063#Deprecate parenthetical citations|September 2020 request for comments]]. To summarize the consensus reached there:
{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Example !! Consensus
|-
| {{no| The Sun is pretty big. (Miller 2005, p. 1)}} || Formally deprecated; replace with "The Sun is pretty big.{{dummy reference}}"
|-
| {{maybe| The paper by Eek (2020) showed...{{dummy reference}}}} || Wordy, but may be valid as in-text attribution; use "Eek showed...{{dummy reference}}" instead
|-
| {{no| Eek (p. 35) showed...}} || Formally deprecated; use "Eek showed...{{dummy reference}}" instead
|-
| {{maybe| In 2020, Pelagic et al. found that...{{dummy reference}}}} || Wordy, but may be valid as in-text attribution.
|-
| {{no| {{fake link|Smith (2008)}} argued...}} || Formally deprecated; see the following for a non-deprecated alternative
|-
| {{maybe| Smith (2008) argued...{{dummy reference}}}} || May be valid as in-text attribution in contexts where both year and author are encyclopedic information; consider rewriting as "Smith, in 2008, argued...{{dummy reference}}"
|-
| {{yes| Smith argued...{{dummy reference}}}} || Standard non-deprecated format
|}
===Bundled citations===
{{see also|Help:Citation merging |Wikipedia:Citing sources#Bundling citations}}
Template {{tl2|harvnb}} (with <nowiki><ref></nowiki> tags) or {{tl2|sfnm}} can be used to [[WP:CITE#Bundling citations|bundle citations]].

}}
===Multiple lists of inline citations===
Sometimes there is a need to create two or more separate lists of inline footnotes. For example some family trees are contained in templates, they are transluded into several biographies, and they have their own self contained citations (see [[Template:Houston family tree]] and the article [[Margaret Lea Houston]]).
To facilitate this, while the main page uses the standard 1,2,3 footnote counting, it is common for family trees to use the efn template with a group parameter set—for example {{tlx|efn-lg}} (lower-greek). The efn templates are text templates, to link some or all of the content of the efn template to a long citation template such as {{tlx|cite book}} place {{tlx|harvnb}} or {{tlx|harv}} within the efn template.

{{anchor|Ps problems}}
== Other parameters ==
These parameters were designed to handle special cases that are better handled by other techniques.
===Parameter {{para|ps}}===
These templates have a parameter {{para|ps}}, designed to hold quotes and explanations.
Two or more {{tlc|sfn}} templates with the same authors, same year, and same page, but different {{para|ps}} will result in a {{small|{{error|Cite error: The named reference ... was defined multiple times with different content}}}} message. This message happens because the reference names that {{tlc|sfn}} creates will be the same, but the content between the {{tag|ref|params=name="FOOTNOTE..."|o}} tag and the {{tag|ref|c}} tag will be different.
A workaround is to convert the offending {{tlc|sfn}} templates to {{tlx|harvnb}} wrapped in {{tag|ref}} tags, as recommended in [[#Additional comments or quotes|§ Adding additional comments or quotes]]. This method is more versatile and robust.
Template {{para|ps}} also has a second (rare) use, when setting {{para|ps|none}}, which suppressed the final period. See [[#Variations in the format of the author-date citation|§ Variations in the format of the author-date citation]].
===Parameter {{para|ref}}===
The optional parameter {{para|ref}} was used to create an unusually named link from the short citation to the full citation. This typically would require setting the hand coded link on the full citation as well. It's easier to only set the link of the full citation to {{para|ref|{{tl2|sfnref}}}}.
If you specify {{para|ref|none}}, no hyperlink is created. However, if one does not want the link, it is always possible to simply use plain text instead of the template.
The parameter only appears in <nowiki>{{harv*}}</nowiki> templates, and may still appear in a few articles.
==Open problems==
===Link works but displays a no target error===
When a short-cite template links to a full citation that is rendered by a template that wraps a CS1 template, like {{txl|cite DNB}} (which wraps {{txl|cite encyclopedia}}), a {{error-small|no target}} error may be displayed even when the short-cite template is valid and the link works. That is a "false positive" error. The error message can be suppressed by adding {{para|ignore-err|yes}} to the template, or by adding the template {{t|Sfn whitelist}} with the anchor ID(s) to the article. If you are testing changes in [[Special:ExpandTemplates]] and the error message cannot be suppressed, try testing in a sandbox or user subpage instead.
==={{ucfirst:sfn}} embedded in list-defined ref does not work===
If you [[Help:Footnotes#embedding references|embed]] an {{ucfirst:sfn}} 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}}.
==Implementation notes==
These templates use two elements: a [[wikilink]] in the body of the article, and an [[WP:ANCHOR DEF|anchor]] in the reference section of the article. Clicking on the wikilink repositions the page at the anchor.
===Citation template [[HTML element#Links and anchors|anchor]]===

The most common citation templates are {{cs1}} or {{cs2}}. By default, [[Module:Citation/CS1]] creates an [[HTML element#Links and anchors|anchor]] {{tag|a|o|params=name="CITEREF"}} followed by the concatenation of the following parameters:
* '''last''' or '''last1''' or '''surname''' or '''surname1''' or '''author-last''' or '''author-last1''' or '''author1-last''' or '''author-surname''' or '''author-surname1''' or '''author1-surname''' or '''author''' or '''author1''' or '''authors''',
* '''last2''' or '''surname2''' or '''author-last2''' or '''author2-last''' or '''author-surname2''' or '''author2-surname''' or '''author2''',
* '''last3''' or '''surname3''' or '''author-last3''' or '''author3-last''' or '''author-surname3''' or '''author3-surname''' or '''author3''',
* '''last4''' or '''surname4''' or '''author-last4''' or '''author4-last''' or '''author-surname4''' or '''author4-surname''' or '''author4''',
* '''editor-last''' or '''editor-last1''' or '''editor1-last''' or '''editor-surname''' or '''editor-surname1''' or '''editor1-surname''' or '''editor1''' or '''editor''',
* '''editor-last2''' or '''editor2-last''' or '''editor-surname2''' or '''editor2-surname''' or '''editor2''',
* '''editor-last3''' or '''editor3-last''' or '''editor-surname3''' or '''editor3-surname''' or '''editor3''',
* '''editor-last4''' or '''editor4-last''' or '''editor-surname4''' or '''editor4-surname''' or '''editor4''',
* '''date''', '''year'''
This covers the most common templates. Information about all of the templates is available at [[Wikipedia:Citation templates and reference anchors]].
Use of the '''date''' parameter in place of the '''year''' parameter in citation templates is preferred.
===Harvard citation wikilink===
The Harvard citation templates create a [[wikilink]] to the anchor. For example {{tlx|Harv|Smith|2006|4=p=25}} produces the link {{code|#CITEREFSmith2006}} and {{tlx|Citation|2=last=Smith|3=first=John|4=date=27 January 2006|5=title=My Life}} produces the anchor {{code|CITEREFSmith2006}}.
===Using CITEREF directly===
{{Shortcut|WP:CITEREF}}
A few articles create a custom ID using {{code|CITEREF}}, either in place of the Harvard citation template (e.g. <code><nowiki>[[#CITEREFSmith2006|(2006)]]</nowiki></code>) or as a value for {{para|ref}} in the citation template.
{{Refname rules|A custom ID must follow these rules:|
* If CITEREF is used, then spaces in the {{para|ref}} field must be replaced with underscores}}
Examples:
* {{tlx|sfn|{{var|cite name}}|{{var|year}}}}
* {{tlx|cite book|2=ref=CITEREF{{var|cite_nameyear}}}}
* {{tlx|cite book|2=ref={{tl|sfnref|{{var|cite_name}}|{{var|year}}}}}}
Where {{var|cite_name}} is a name such as the publisher.
To avoid the sometimes difficult to remember syntax for links to CITEREF anchors, {{tl|citeref}} can be used to create internal wikilinks with either small superscript-style labels (like this<sup>[n]</sup>) or plain free-text labels to such anchors. It can be used inside of other citations.
Note that the {{code|CITEREF}} prefix is necessary for the [[mw:Reference Tooltips|reference tooltips gadget]] ([[MediaWiki:Gadget-ReferenceTooltips.js]]) to detect that a link goes to a citation.
===[[Template:sfn|<code><nowiki>{{sfn}}</nowiki></code>]]'s [[WP:REFNAME|ref name]]===
Template {{tl2|sfn}} creates a [[WP:REFNAME|named footnote]], so that identical footnotes are combined automatically. The footnote name begins with {{code|FOOTNOTE}} followed by a concatenation of the arguments to {{tl2|sfn}}. E.g.: this template call {{tlx|sfn|Smith|2006|4=p=26}} should have exactly the same functionality as {{tag|ref|params=name="FOOTNOTESmith200626"|content={{tl|Harvnb|Smith|2006|4=p=26}}.}} which, in turn, has the same functionality as {{tag|ref|params=name="FOOTNOTESmith200626"|content=<nowiki>[[#CITEREFSmith2006|Smith (2006)]], p.&nbsp;26.</nowiki>}}.
{{anchor|url weirdness}}
The ref name becomes more complicated when the page (p) parameter includes a URL, e.g. {{tlg|sfn|Joyce|1903|p{{=}}[https://archive.org/details/aconcisehistory00joycgoog/page/n226 213]|code=on}}, which, once defined, can be called by {{tag|ref|empty|params=name="FOOTNOTEJoyce1903[httpsarchiveorgdetailsaconcisehistory00joycgoogpagen226 213]"}}. The "p=" and the characters |,:,.,/,?,=; are therefore stripped out of the URL. The content of the loc parameter is similarly appended after this.
The call to {{tl2|harvnb}} has been [[subst]]'ed for quicker load times.
{{Fake header|Anchors for some examples}}
Some of the examples need an anchor here so they don't display an error message. Press the back button on your browser to return to the example you were reading.

{{Lua|Module:Footnotes|Module:Check for unknown parameters}}
The '''shortened footnote template''' {{tl|sfn}} creates a short [[WP:Citing sources#Short citations|author–date citation]] in a [[Wikipedia:Citing sources|footnote]], with a one-directional link to the first matching [[Wikipedia:Citation templates|citation template]] on the same page. It will combine identical footnotes automatically.
It is used to create {{sfnote|lc=y}}, a [[WP:CITESTYLE|citation style]] which pairs a short, author-date citation in a footnote with a [[WP:HOWCITE|complete citation]] in the references section at the end of the article (see example [[#Example|below]]). This citation style is used to simplify multiple citations to the same source and to reduce clutter in the edit window.
Common problems and known workarounds are given in the sections below. Use the table of contents to find what you need.
Note that the use (or even non-use) of these templates is an element of citation "style", and adding or removing them in articles with an established style should be consistent with that style. See [[WP:CITEVAR]].
==Usage==
'''Sfn''' generates an "author-date" style short-cite from the following parameters:
<div style="margin-left: 2em"><code>{{<nowiki>sfn</nowiki>| <{{var|last1}}*> | <{{var|last2}}> | <{{var|last3}}> | <{{var|last4}}> | <{{var|year}}*> | p= <{{var|page}}> | loc= <{{var|location}}> }}</code></div>
with
* <{{var|last1}}> – required; surname of first author or corporate author
* <{{var|last2}}>–<{{var|last4}}> – positional parameters; surnames of next three authors; required if available in the full citation
* <{{var|year}}> – required; four-digit year; may have a lowercase disambiguation letter, like {{pval|2012a}}
* {{para|p}} – specific page referenced in the source (alias: {{para|page}}{{hairspace}})
* {{para|pp}} – comma-separated list of [[Template:Csdoc#pages|individual pages and / or range(s) of pages]] referenced in the source (alias: {{para|pages}}{{hairspace}})
* {{para|loc}} – in-source location when {{para|p}} and {{para|pp}} are inappropriate; may be used to supplement {{para|p}} and {{para|pp}}; information such as a section or figure number. (alias: {{para|at}}{{hairspace}})
=== Example ===
Typical usage is shown in the example below. The text and the footnote are connected by a bi-directional link – clicking on the superscript takes the reader to the footnote, clicking on the footnote number takes them back to the superscript. The clicking on the short citation takes them to the full citation in the references section.
'''Sfn''' will also automatically combine identical footnotes.

Template '''sfn''' is not placed inside {{tag|ref}} tags and generates the footnote internally. (To place '''sfn''' in a footnote, see [[#A citation inside an explanatory footnote|putting a citation inside a footnote]], below.)
===Parameters===
====Author(s) and year====
The first four author surnames (or all authors if fewer than four; use the values from {{para|last''N''}} or {{para|author''N''}}{{hairspace}}) are required, followed by the year of publication (from {{para|year}} or {{para|date}}). Authors past the fourth must be omitted or an error will result.
The [[#Possible issues with author-date link|possible issues]] section below describes workarounds for various common problems, such as [[#Large number of authors|large number of authors]], [[#No author name in citation template|no author name]], [[#More than one work in a year|multiple works in the same year]], [[#Two sources with same last names and years|Two sources with same last names and years]] and others.

====Location in the source text====
Use {{para|p}} for single pages; use {{para|pp}} for multiple pages (such as ranges). Use of {{para|p}} for multiple pages or {{para|pp}} for single pages can cause [[Help:Cite errors/Cite error references duplicate key|cite errors]].
{{para|loc}} can be used to specify a location in the source in another way, such as section numbers or chapters. It can also be combined with {{para|p}} or {{para|pp}}.

==Possible issues with author-date link==
{{for|information on how to turn on error messages for broken links|:Category:Harv and Sfn template errors}}
These are techniques that address various unusual difficulties with the link between the short citation and the full citation.
===Custom anchors===
A custom anchor using {{tl|sfnref}} can, at least temporarily, always make the shortened footnote look exactly the way you would like and still have a link that works. Many of the problems and workarounds below require a custom anchor.
All CS1 citation templates and several other templates allow you to set a custom anchor with parameter {{para|ref}}. The template {{tl|sfnRef}} creates an anchor that will match {{tl|sfn}}'s if it has the same parameters as {{tl|sfn}}. To use this technique, choose the name and year you would like to appear in {{tl|sfn}}, copy these parameters into {{tl|sfnRef}} and set {{tl|ref}} to the {{tl|sfnRef}}.
In other words, if you want this:
* {{tl2|sfn|<*''name you want''>|<''year''>|<''page / location''>}}
then set this:
* {{para|ref|{{tl2|sfnRef|<''name you want''>|<''year''>}}}}
in the template, and the link should work correctly.
The parameters must be <em>identical</em> in every respect. If the year is unusual (i.e. not a number), then include the year in the name and don't use the year position.
===Large number of authors===
If there are more than four authors, the first four authors' surnames (the value in {{para|last}} or {{para|author}}) are required by the template. Listing more authors is not supported. It is also possible to use a [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]] that sets the name field to "Smith et. al.".

}}}}
===More than one work in a year===
Where there is a need to cite more than one work ''by the same author published in the same year'', the standard way to disambiguate such works is to add a letter suffix after the year, e.g. "Smith 2006a" and "Smith 2006b".
Set the year element of the {{tlc|sfn}} templates (e.g. {{tlc|sfn|Smith|2006a}} and {{tlc|sfn|Smith|2006a}}), and add the disambiguation letter to the matching full citation, (e.g. <code><nowiki>{{cite book|...|last=Smith|date=2006b}}</nowiki></code>).
When {{tlc|sfn}} is used with {{tlx|citation}} or {{cs1}} templates, a year-suffix letter may be added to {{para|date}} for all accepted date formats except year-initial numeric ({{small|YYYY-MM-DD}}). It is not necessary to include both {{para|date}} and {{para|year}} (see exception [[#NB_YEAR|below]]). If both are included, {{para|year}} is used for the <code>CITEREF</code> anchor to be compliant with legacy citations.
:{{para|date|2013a}}: simple year only dates
:{{para|date|Jan 2013b}} or {{para|date|Winter 2013b}}: month or season and year dates
:{{para|date|9 November 2013b}} or {{para|date|November 9, 2013b}}: full dates
:{{para|date|June–July 2013c}} or {{para|date|Winter–Spring 2013c}}: month or season ranges and year dates
:{{para|date|c. 2013d}}: circa year dates
:{{para|date|{{#time:Y}}–{{#time:Y|now +1 year}}e}} or {{para|date|Summer {{#time:Y}}–{{#time:y|now +1 year}}e}}: year ranges
:{{para|date|n.d.f}}: no date (n.d.)
:{{anchor|NB_YEAR}}<s>{{para|date|2013g-11-09}}</s>: not supported, the template must use {{para|year|2013g}}. If month and day should be part of the citation as well, both parameters need to be given: {{para|date|2013-11-09}} {{para|year|2013x}}. In this case, {{para|date}} is used for citation display and metadata purposes, and {{para|year}} for link disambiguation.

===Two sources with same last names and years ===
An article might cite works from the same year by two different authors with the same last name. For example, an article might cite psychoanalysts [[Anna Freud]] and [[Sigmund Freud]], who both wrote books in the same year.
There are two solutions: it's possible to use the same technique described in the previous section. To differentiate between the two books, the first one can be given the year "1928a" and the second one "1928b".
Or, you can create a [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]] that adds an initial to the name fields, e.g. "A. Freud" and "S. Freud". The links will no longer conflict.

===No author name in citation template===
Some sources do not have a single author with a last name, such as a magazine article or a report from a government institution. There is no consensus (in Wikipedia or among citation styles) about how to format author–date citations for works that do not have a specific author. Several choices are:
# The title of the article, or a shortened form of the title, is recommended by some style guides.
# For a newspaper or periodical, you may use the name of the paper and the date.
# For a publication by an institution, use either:
## The initials of the institution
## The name of the institution
# Other style guides recommend using "Anonymous" or "Anon."
An article should adopt one of these styles consistently.
Use a [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]] to replace set the author name to one of these other choices, as shown in these examples below.

===Full citation has no year but has a date===
Either the {{para|date}} or {{para|year}} of a citation template can be matched—the template logic can extract the year from a full date. If the date parameter is not a full date, then the extraction will fail. If the link does not seem to work, it also possible to set both {{para|date}} and {{para|year}} parameters. The template will display the date and use the year for the anchor. These two examples show a year being successfully extracted from full date.

===Citation template has no date===
If the cited source does not have a date, you can use {{para|date|n.d.}} for the full citation and "n.d." in place of the date for the short citation:
{{markup
|<nowiki>This is a fact.{{sfn|Smith|n.d.}}
==Notes==
{{reflist}}
==References==
* {{Citation |last=Smith |title=Title |date=n.d. |publisher=Publisher |mode=cs1}}</nowiki>
|This is a fact.{{sfn|Smith|n.d.}}
{{fake heading|sub=3|Notes}}
{{reflist}}
{{fake heading|sub=3|References}}
* {{Citation |last=Smith |title=Title |date=n.d. |publisher=Publisher |mode=cs1}}
}}
=== No date, author, or title ===
If the cited source does not have a date, author, or title, place a description of the source within brackets for the {{para|title}} parameter, use {{para|date|n.d.}} and create [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]] with the description in the name position and "n.d." in the year.
{{markup
|<nowiki>This is a fact.{{sfn|[Description]|n.d.}}
==Notes==
{{reflist}}
==References==
* {{Citation |title=[Description] |date=n.d. |publisher=Publisher |mode=cs1 |ref={{sfnref|[Description]|n.d.}} }}</nowiki>
|This is a fact.{{sfn|[Description]|n.d.}}
{{fake heading|sub=3|Notes}}
{{reflist}}
{{fake heading|sub=3|References}}
* {{Citation |title=[Description] |date=n.d. |publisher=Publisher |mode=cs1 |ref={{sfnref|[Description]|n.d.}} }}
}}
===Citation template doesn't create a compatible anchor===
{{See also|[[Wikipedia:Citation templates and reference anchors]])}}
Some templates, such as {{tl|cite comic}} template use the parameter {{para|ref}} to create an anchor for the short citation. This can be used to set a [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]] for {{tl|sfn}}
{{markup
|<nowiki>Article text.{{sfn|Morrison|1987}}
==Notes==
{{reflist}}
==References==
* {{cite comic
|writer=Morrison, Grant
|artist=Yeowell, Steve
|title=2000 AD
|date=August 15, 1987
|publisher=[[Fleetway]]
|ref={{sfnref|Morrison|1987}}
}}</nowiki>

}}}}}}
You could also use CITEREF directly with a concatenation of <code>#CITEREF</code> plus the parameters passed to the Harvard citation template.
===Citation format does not support any kind of anchor===
{{See also|[[Wikipedia:Citation templates and reference anchors]])}}
If the citation is handwritten you should consider the citation format of the article. If citation templates are acceptable here, then try to find one that works for this template. If no template can be found, then this may be a source which can't be represented in our citation templates.
There are also a few templates that do not support any kind of anchor.
For both of these rare cases it is possible to use {{tl2|wikicite}}. It has a {{para|ref}} parameter which can be set to a [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]] that seems appropriate.

===Wikilink to citation does not work===
If an article is using this template, and nothing happens when you click on the highlighted [[wikilink]] from a [[WP:SHORTCITE|short citation]] using a template to a [[WP:SHORTCITE|full citation]] at the bottom of the page, there are several possible solutions. If:
# Templates like this one are rarely used in this article. '''Solution''': Remove this template and format the citation in the style used most often in the article.
# The correct full citation does ''not'' appear at the bottom of the article. '''Solution''': Find the source (it may be copied from an article on a similar subject), and check that it verifies the text. If the source can't be found, replace this template with {{tl2|citation not found}}.
# The correct full citation appears at the bottom of the article, and
## The full citation uses a template from the list at [[Help:Citation Style 1|Citation Style 1]]:
### The name in the short citation is spelled or capitalized differently than in the full citation. '''Solution''': Check the source for the correct spelling, and use the same spelling, spacing, and capitalization in both the short and full citations.
### The template does not have an author's or an editor's, last name (authors take precedence over editors). '''Solution''': See [[#No author name in citation template|§No author name in citation template]], above.
### There is more than one full citation with the same last name(s) and year. '''Solution''': See [[#More than one work in a year|§More than one work in a year]].
### The year is different here than the full citation. '''Solution''': Check the source for the correct year, and use the same year in both the short and full citations.
### The template has a {{para|date}} field and no {{para|year}} field, but the format of the {{para|date}} field is unusual. '''Solution''': Try to fix the date. If the link still does not work, add {{para|year}} to the citation template. (It's okay if it has both.)
### The template does not have a year, or the year is set to "n.d." (no date). '''Solution''': Set the date field of this template to "n.d.".
##The citation template doesn't automatically create the anchor, but has {{para|ref}}. '''Solution''': See [[#Citation template doesn't automatically create the anchor|§Citation template doesn't automatically create the anchor]], above.
##The citation template doesn't support anchors at all. '''Solution''': See [[#Citation format does not support any kind of anchor|§Citation format does not support any kind of anchor]], above.
##The full citation is handwritten.
### There are no other citation templates in the article. This is probably because local editors prefer it that way. '''Solution''': You should adapt to the style of the article. This would probably entail removing this template and formatting the short citation in plain text or replacing it with a full citation in {{tag|ref}} tags.
### There are citation templates used liberally throughout the article. '''Solution''': Reformat the source with the appropriate {{cite *}} template (and set the {{para|ref}} appropriately, if necessary).
### The full citation is handwritten because the source can't be represented by our citation templates at all. '''Solution''': See [[#Citation format does not support any kind of anchor|§Citation format does not support any kind of anchor]], above.
Templates that have broken [[wikilink]]s using these templates are added to the category {{cat|All articles with broken links to citations}}.
== Techniques and variations ==
{{anchor|Additional comments or quotes}}
=== Adding additional comments or quotes ===
The templates {{tl2|harvnb}} or {{tl2|harvtxt}} can be used to add quotes or additional comments into the footnote, in the form of in-text attributions.
{{markup
|<nowiki>
Some information.<ref>{{harvnb|Smith|2011|p=2}}: "A quote verifying the information."</ref>
== Notes ==
{{reflist}}
</nowiki>|

{{Fake heading|sub=3|Notes}}

{{Fake heading|sub=3|Notes}}
{{reflist}}
}}
===Citations inside explanatory footnotes===
Sometimes an explanatory footnote requires a citation. There are several acceptable solutions.
It is currently disputed (June 2026) whether parenthetical referencing (or narrative referencing, i.e. in-text attribution serving as referencing) is deprecated inside {{tag|ref}} tags used for explanatory footnotes.
Citations using {{tl1|sfn}} can't be directly embedded between {{tag|ref}} tags, because the following message will be produced: {{small|{{error|Cite error references missing group||nocat=true}}}}. But {{tl1|sfn}} can be used with templates {{tl1|efn}} and {{tl1|notelist}}, which separates the explanatory footnotes from the short citations, as shown in this example. (See also [[Chinese Room]], which is an article that makes extensive use of this technique.)

===Adding a URL for the page or location===
If a specific link to the page or section is available, a [[Uniform Resource Locator|URL]] can be added to the location or page number.
{{markup
|<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">Article text.{{sfn|Smith|2011|p=[https://en.wikipedia.org 3]}}

}}}}
(See [[#url weirdness|below]] for a potential issue with this technique.)
===In text attribution===
{{see also|Wikipedia:Citing sources#In-text attribution}}
Per [[WP:PAREN]], a certain style of short citations using parentheses, placed ''within the article text itself'', is deprecated on Wikipedia. Several examples were raised and discussed during the [[Special:PermanentLink/976895063#Deprecate parenthetical citations|September 2020 request for comments]]. To summarize the consensus reached there:
{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Example !! Consensus
|-
| {{no| The Sun is pretty big. (Miller 2005, p. 1)}} || Formally deprecated; replace with "The Sun is pretty big.{{dummy reference}}"
|-
| {{maybe| The paper by Eek (2020) showed...{{dummy reference}}}} || Wordy, but may be valid as in-text attribution; use "Eek showed...{{dummy reference}}" instead
|-
| {{no| Eek (p. 35) showed...}} || Formally deprecated; use "Eek showed...{{dummy reference}}" instead
|-
| {{maybe| In 2020, Pelagic et al. found that...{{dummy reference}}}} || Wordy, but may be valid as in-text attribution.
|-
| {{no| {{fake link|Smith (2008)}} argued...}} || Formally deprecated; see the following for a non-deprecated alternative
|-
| {{maybe| Smith (2008) argued...{{dummy reference}}}} || May be valid as in-text attribution in contexts where both year and author are encyclopedic information; consider rewriting as "Smith, in 2008, argued...{{dummy reference}}"
|-
| {{yes| Smith argued...{{dummy reference}}}} || Standard non-deprecated format
|}
===Bundled citations===
{{see also|Help:Citation merging |Wikipedia:Citing sources#Bundling citations}}
Template {{tl2|harvnb}} (with <nowiki><ref></nowiki> tags) or {{tl2|sfnm}} can be used to [[WP:CITE#Bundling citations|bundle citations]].

}}
===Multiple lists of inline citations===
Sometimes there is a need to create two or more separate lists of inline footnotes. For example some family trees are contained in templates, they are transluded into several biographies, and they have their own self contained citations (see [[Template:Houston family tree]] and the article [[Margaret Lea Houston]]).
To facilitate this, while the main page uses the standard 1,2,3 footnote counting, it is common for family trees to use the efn template with a group parameter set—for example {{tlx|efn-lg}} (lower-greek). The efn templates are text templates, to link some or all of the content of the efn template to a long citation template such as {{tlx|cite book}} place {{tlx|harvnb}} or {{tlx|harv}} within the efn template.

{{anchor|Ps problems}}
== Other parameters ==
These parameters were designed to handle special cases that are better handled by other techniques.
===Parameter {{para|ps}}===
These templates have a parameter {{para|ps}}, designed to hold quotes and explanations.
Two or more {{tlc|sfn}} templates with the same authors, same year, and same page, but different {{para|ps}} will result in a {{small|{{error|Cite error: The named reference ... was defined multiple times with different content}}}} message. This message happens because the reference names that {{tlc|sfn}} creates will be the same, but the content between the {{tag|ref|params=name="FOOTNOTE..."|o}} tag and the {{tag|ref|c}} tag will be different.
A workaround is to convert the offending {{tlc|sfn}} templates to {{tlx|harvnb}} wrapped in {{tag|ref}} tags, as recommended in [[#Additional comments or quotes|§ Adding additional comments or quotes]]. This method is more versatile and robust.
Template {{para|ps}} also has a second (rare) use, when setting {{para|ps|none}}, which suppressed the final period. See [[#Variations in the format of the author-date citation|§ Variations in the format of the author-date citation]].
===Parameter {{para|ref}}===
The optional parameter {{para|ref}} was used to create an unusually named link from the short citation to the full citation. This typically would require setting the hand coded link on the full citation as well. It's easier to only set the link of the full citation to {{para|ref|{{tl2|sfnref}}}}.
If you specify {{para|ref|none}}, no hyperlink is created. However, if one does not want the link, it is always possible to simply use plain text instead of the template.
The parameter only appears in <nowiki>{{harv*}}</nowiki> templates, and may still appear in a few articles.
==Open problems==
===Link works but displays a no target error===
When a short-cite template links to a full citation that is rendered by a template that wraps a CS1 template, like {{txl|cite DNB}} (which wraps {{txl|cite encyclopedia}}), a {{error-small|no target}} error may be displayed even when the short-cite template is valid and the link works. That is a "false positive" error. The error message can be suppressed by adding {{para|ignore-err|yes}} to the template, or by adding the template {{t|Sfn whitelist}} with the anchor ID(s) to the article. If you are testing changes in [[Special:ExpandTemplates]] and the error message cannot be suppressed, try testing in a sandbox or user subpage instead.
==={{ucfirst:sfn}} embedded in list-defined ref does not work===
If you [[Help:Footnotes#embedding references|embed]] an {{ucfirst:sfn}} 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}}.
==Implementation notes==
These templates use two elements: a [[wikilink]] in the body of the article, and an [[WP:ANCHOR DEF|anchor]] in the reference section of the article. Clicking on the wikilink repositions the page at the anchor.
===Citation template [[HTML element#Links and anchors|anchor]]===
{{See also|Wikipedia:Citation templates and reference anchors}}
The most common citation templates are {{cs1}} or {{cs2}}. By default, [[Module:Citation/CS1]] creates an [[HTML element#Links and anchors|anchor]] {{tag|a|o|params=name="CITEREF"}} followed by the concatenation of the following parameters:
* '''last''' or '''last1''' or '''surname''' or '''surname1''' or '''author-last''' or '''author-last1''' or '''author1-last''' or '''author-surname''' or '''author-surname1''' or '''author1-surname''' or '''author''' or '''author1''' or '''authors''',
* '''last2''' or '''surname2''' or '''author-last2''' or '''author2-last''' or '''author-surname2''' or '''author2-surname''' or '''author2''',
* '''last3''' or '''surname3''' or '''author-last3''' or '''author3-last''' or '''author-surname3''' or '''author3-surname''' or '''author3''',
* '''last4''' or '''surname4''' or '''author-last4''' or '''author4-last''' or '''author-surname4''' or '''author4-surname''' or '''author4''',
* '''editor-last''' or '''editor-last1''' or '''editor1-last''' or '''editor-surname''' or '''editor-surname1''' or '''editor1-surname''' or '''editor1''' or '''editor''',
* '''editor-last2''' or '''editor2-last''' or '''editor-surname2''' or '''editor2-surname''' or '''editor2''',
* '''editor-last3''' or '''editor3-last''' or '''editor-surname3''' or '''editor3-surname''' or '''editor3''',
* '''editor-last4''' or '''editor4-last''' or '''editor-surname4''' or '''editor4-surname''' or '''editor4''',
* '''date''', '''year'''
This covers the most common templates. Information about all of the templates is available at [[Wikipedia:Citation templates and reference anchors]].
Use of the '''date''' parameter in place of the '''year''' parameter in citation templates is preferred.
===Harvard citation wikilink===
The Harvard citation templates create a [[wikilink]] to the anchor. For example {{tlx|Harv|Smith|2006|4=p=25}} produces the link {{code|#CITEREFSmith2006}} and {{tlx|Citation|2=last=Smith|3=first=John|4=date=27 January 2006|5=title=My Life}} produces the anchor {{code|CITEREFSmith2006}}.
===Using CITEREF directly===
{{Shortcut|WP:CITEREF}}
A few articles create a custom ID using {{code|CITEREF}}, either in place of the Harvard citation template (e.g. <code><nowiki>[[#CITEREFSmith2006|(2006)]]</nowiki></code>) or as a value for {{para|ref}} in the citation template.
{{Refname rules|A custom ID must follow these rules:|
* If CITEREF is used, then spaces in the {{para|ref}} field must be replaced with underscores}}
Examples:
* {{tlx|sfn|{{var|cite name}}|{{var|year}}}}
* {{tlx|cite book|2=ref=CITEREF{{var|cite_nameyear}}}}
* {{tlx|cite book|2=ref={{tl|sfnref|{{var|cite_name}}|{{var|year}}}}}}
Where {{var|cite_name}} is a name such as the publisher.
To avoid the sometimes difficult to remember syntax for links to CITEREF anchors, {{tl|citeref}} can be used to create internal wikilinks with either small superscript-style labels (like this<sup>[n]</sup>) or plain free-text labels to such anchors. It can be used inside of other citations.
Note that the {{code|CITEREF}} prefix is necessary for the [[mw:Reference Tooltips|reference tooltips gadget]] ([[MediaWiki:Gadget-ReferenceTooltips.js]]) to detect that a link goes to a citation.
===[[Template:sfn|<code><nowiki>{{sfn}}</nowiki></code>]]'s [[WP:REFNAME|ref name]]===
Template {{tl2|sfn}} creates a [[WP:REFNAME|named footnote]], so that identical footnotes are combined automatically. The footnote name begins with {{code|FOOTNOTE}} followed by a concatenation of the arguments to {{tl2|sfn}}. E.g.: this template call {{tlx|sfn|Smith|2006|4=p=26}} should have exactly the same functionality as {{tag|ref|params=name="FOOTNOTESmith200626"|content={{tl|Harvnb|Smith|2006|4=p=26}}.}} which, in turn, has the same functionality as {{tag|ref|params=name="FOOTNOTESmith200626"|content=<nowiki>[[#CITEREFSmith2006|Smith (2006)]], p.&nbsp;26.</nowiki>}}.
{{anchor|url weirdness}}
The ref name becomes more complicated when the page (p) parameter includes a URL, e.g. {{tlg|sfn|Joyce|1903|p{{=}}[https://archive.org/details/aconcisehistory00joycgoog/page/n226 213]|code=on}}, which, once defined, can be called by {{tag|ref|empty|params=name="FOOTNOTEJoyce1903[httpsarchiveorgdetailsaconcisehistory00joycgoogpagen226 213]"}}. The "p=" and the characters |,:,.,/,?,=; are therefore stripped out of the URL. The content of the loc parameter is similarly appended after this.
The call to {{tl2|harvnb}} has been [[subst]]'ed for quicker load times.
{{Fake header|Anchors for some examples}}

{{Lua|Module:Footnotes|Module:Check for unknown parameters}}
The '''shortened footnote template''' {{tl|sfn}} creates a short [[WP:Citing sources#Short citations|author–date citation]] in a [[Wikipedia:Citing sources|footnote]], with a one-directional link to the first matching [[Wikipedia:Citation templates|citation template]] on the same page. It will combine identical footnotes automatically.
It is used to create {{sfnote|lc=y}}, a [[WP:CITESTYLE|citation style]] which pairs a short, author-date citation in a footnote with a [[WP:HOWCITE|complete citation]] in the references section at the end of the article (see example [[#Example|below]]). This citation style is used to simplify multiple citations to the same source and to reduce clutter in the edit window.
Common problems and known workarounds are given in the sections below. Use the table of contents to find what you need.
Note that the use (or even non-use) of these templates is an element of citation "style", and adding or removing them in articles with an established style should be consistent with that style. See [[WP:CITEVAR]].
==Usage==
'''Sfn''' generates an "author-date" style short-cite from the following parameters:
<div style="margin-left: 2em"><code>{{<nowiki>sfn</nowiki>| <{{var|last1}}*> | <{{var|last2}}> | <{{var|last3}}> | <{{var|last4}}> | <{{var|year}}*> | p= <{{var|page}}> | loc= <{{var|location}}> }}</code></div>
with
* <{{var|last1}}> – required; surname of first author or corporate author
* <{{var|last2}}>–<{{var|last4}}> – positional parameters; surnames of next three authors; required if available in the full citation
* <{{var|year}}> – required; four-digit year; may have a lowercase disambiguation letter, like {{pval|2012a}}
* {{para|p}} – specific page referenced in the source (alias: {{para|page}}{{hairspace}})
* {{para|pp}} – comma-separated list of [[Template:Csdoc#pages|individual pages and / or range(s) of pages]] referenced in the source (alias: {{para|pages}}{{hairspace}})
* {{para|loc}} – in-source location when {{para|p}} and {{para|pp}} are inappropriate; may be used to supplement {{para|p}} and {{para|pp}}; information such as a section or figure number. (alias: {{para|at}}{{hairspace}})
=== Example ===
Typical usage is shown in the example below. The text and the footnote are connected by a bi-directional link – clicking on the superscript takes the reader to the footnote, clicking on the footnote number takes them back to the superscript. The clicking on the short citation takes them to the full citation in the references section.
'''Sfn''' will also automatically combine identical footnotes.

Template '''sfn''' is not placed inside {{tag|ref}} tags and generates the footnote internally. (To place '''sfn''' in a footnote, see [[#A citation inside an explanatory footnote|putting a citation inside a footnote]], below.)
===Parameters===
====Author(s) and year====
The first four author surnames (or all authors if fewer than four; use the values from {{para|last''N''}} or {{para|author''N''}}{{hairspace}}) are required, followed by the year of publication (from {{para|year}} or {{para|date}}). Authors past the fourth must be omitted or an error will result.
The [[#Possible issues with author-date link|possible issues]] section below describes workarounds for various common problems, such as [[#Large number of authors|large number of authors]], [[#No author name in citation template|no author name]], [[#More than one work in a year|multiple works in the same year]], [[#Two sources with same last names and years|Two sources with same last names and years]] and others.

Use {{para|p}} for single pages; use {{para|pp}} for multiple pages (such as ranges). Use of {{para|p}} for multiple pages or {{para|pp}} for single pages can cause [[Help:Cite errors/Cite error references duplicate key|cite errors]].
{{para|loc}} can be used to specify a location in the source in another way, such as section numbers or chapters. It can also be combined with {{para|p}} or {{para|pp}}.

==Possible issues with author-date link==
{{for|information on how to turn on error messages for broken links|:Category:Harv and Sfn template errors}}
These are techniques that address various unusual difficulties with the link between the short citation and the full citation.
===Custom anchors===
A custom anchor using {{tl|sfnref}} can, at least temporarily, always make the shortened footnote look exactly the way you would like and still have a link that works. Many of the problems and workarounds below require a custom anchor.
All CS1 citation templates and several other templates allow you to set a custom anchor with parameter {{para|ref}}. The template {{tl|sfnRef}} creates an anchor that will match {{tl|sfn}}'s if it has the same parameters as {{tl|sfn}}. To use this technique, choose the name and year you would like to appear in {{tl|sfn}}, copy these parameters into {{tl|sfnRef}} and set {{tl|ref}} to the {{tl|sfnRef}}.
In other words, if you want this:
* {{tl2|sfn|<*''name you want''>|<''year''>|<''page / location''>}}
then set this:
* {{para|ref|{{tl2|sfnRef|<''name you want''>|<''year''>}}}}
in the template, and the link should work correctly.
The parameters must be <em>identical</em> in every respect. If the year is unusual (i.e. not a number), then include the year in the name and don't use the year position.
===Large number of authors===
If there are more than four authors, the first four authors' surnames (the value in {{para|last}} or {{para|author}}) are required by the template. Listing more authors is not supported. It is also possible to use a [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]] that sets the name field to "Smith et. al.".

}}}}
===More than one work in a year===
Where there is a need to cite more than one work ''by the same author published in the same year'', the standard way to disambiguate such works is to add a letter suffix after the year, e.g. "Smith 2006a" and "Smith 2006b".
Set the year element of the {{tlc|sfn}} templates (e.g. {{tlc|sfn|Smith|2006a}} and {{tlc|sfn|Smith|2006a}}), and add the disambiguation letter to the matching full citation, (e.g. <code><nowiki>{{cite book|...|last=Smith|date=2006b}}</nowiki></code>).
When {{tlc|sfn}} is used with {{tlx|citation}} or {{cs1}} templates, a year-suffix letter may be added to {{para|date}} for all accepted date formats except year-initial numeric ({{small|YYYY-MM-DD}}). It is not necessary to include both {{para|date}} and {{para|year}} (see exception [[#NB_YEAR|below]]). If both are included, {{para|year}} is used for the <code>CITEREF</code> anchor to be compliant with legacy citations.
:{{para|date|2013a}}: simple year only dates
:{{para|date|Jan 2013b}} or {{para|date|Winter 2013b}}: month or season and year dates
:{{para|date|9 November 2013b}} or {{para|date|November 9, 2013b}}: full dates
:{{para|date|June–July 2013c}} or {{para|date|Winter–Spring 2013c}}: month or season ranges and year dates
:{{para|date|c. 2013d}}: circa year dates
:{{para|date|{{#time:Y}}–{{#time:Y|now +1 year}}e}} or {{para|date|Summer {{#time:Y}}–{{#time:y|now +1 year}}e}}: year ranges
:{{para|date|n.d.f}}: no date (n.d.)
:{{anchor|NB_YEAR}}<s>{{para|date|2013g-11-09}}</s>: not supported, the template must use {{para|year|2013g}}. If month and day should be part of the citation as well, both parameters need to be given: {{para|date|2013-11-09}} {{para|year|2013x}}. In this case, {{para|date}} is used for citation display and metadata purposes, and {{para|year}} for link disambiguation.

===Two sources with same last names and years ===
An article might cite works from the same year by two different authors with the same last name. For example, an article might cite psychoanalysts [[Anna Freud]] and [[Sigmund Freud]], who both wrote books in the same year.
There are two solutions: it's possible to use the same technique described in the previous section. To differentiate between the two books, the first one can be given the year "1928a" and the second one "1928b".
Or, you can create a [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]] that adds an initial to the name fields, e.g. "A. Freud" and "S. Freud". The links will no longer conflict.

===No author name in citation template===
Some sources do not have a single author with a last name, such as a magazine article or a report from a government institution. There is no consensus (in Wikipedia or among citation styles) about how to format author–date citations for works that do not have a specific author. Several choices are:
# The title of the article, or a shortened form of the title, is recommended by some style guides.
# For a newspaper or periodical, you may use the name of the paper and the date.
# For a publication by an institution, use either:
## The initials of the institution
## The name of the institution
# Other style guides recommend using "Anonymous" or "Anon."
An article should adopt one of these styles consistently.
Use a [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]] to replace set the author name to one of these other choices, as shown in these examples below.

===Citation template has no year but has a date===
Either the {{para|date}} or {{para|year}} of a citation template can be matched—the template logic can extract the year from a full date. If the date parameter is not a full date, then the extraction will fail. If the link does not seem to work, it also possible to set both {{para|date}} and {{para|year}} parameters. The template will display the date and use the year for the anchor. These two examples show a year being successfully extracted from full date.

===Citation template has no date===
If the cited source does not have a date, you can use {{para|date|n.d.}} for the full citation and "n.d." in place of the date for the short citation:
{{markup
|<nowiki>This is a fact.{{sfn|Smith|n.d.}}
==Notes==
{{reflist}}
==References==
* {{Citation |last=Smith |title=Title |date=n.d. |publisher=Publisher |mode=cs1}}</nowiki>
|This is a fact.{{sfn|Smith|n.d.}}
{{fake heading|sub=3|Notes}}
{{reflist}}
{{fake heading|sub=3|References}}
* {{Citation |last=Smith |title=Title |date=n.d. |publisher=Publisher |mode=cs1}}
}}
=== No date, author, or title ===
If the cited source does not have a date, author, or title, place a description of the source within brackets for the {{para|title}} parameter, use {{para|date|n.d.}} and create [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]] with the description in the name position and "n.d." in the year.
{{markup
|<nowiki>This is a fact.{{sfn|[Description]|n.d.}}
==Notes==
{{reflist}}
==References==
* {{Citation |title=[Description] |date=n.d. |publisher=Publisher |mode=cs1 |ref={{sfnref|[Description]|n.d.}} }}</nowiki>
|This is a fact.{{sfn|[Description]|n.d.}}
{{fake heading|sub=3|Notes}}
{{reflist}}
{{fake heading|sub=3|References}}
* {{Citation |title=[Description] |date=n.d. |publisher=Publisher |mode=cs1 |ref={{sfnref|[Description]|n.d.}} }}
}}
===Citation template doesn't create a compatible anchor===
{{See also|[[Wikipedia:Citation templates and reference anchors]])}}
Some templates, such as {{tl|cite comic}} template use the parameter {{para|ref}} to create an anchor for the short citation. This can be used to set a [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]] for {{tl|sfn}}
{{markup
|<nowiki>Article text.{{sfn|Morrison|1987}}
==Notes==
{{reflist}}
==References==
* {{cite comic
|writer=Morrison, Grant
|artist=Yeowell, Steve
|title=2000 AD
|date=August 15, 1987
|publisher=[[Fleetway]]
|ref={{sfnref|Morrison|1987}}
}}</nowiki>
|{{fake notes and references

}}}}}}
You could also use CITEREF directly with a concatenation of <code>#CITEREF</code> plus the parameters passed to the Harvard citation template.
===Citation format does not support any kind of anchor===
{{See also|[[Wikipedia:Citation templates and reference anchors]])}}
If the citation is handwritten you should consider the citation format of the article. If citation templates are acceptable here, then try to find one that works for this template. If no template can be found, then this may be a source which can't be represented in our citation templates.
There are also a few templates that do not support any kind of anchor.
For both of these rare cases it is possible to use {{tl2|wikicite}}. It has a {{para|ref}} parameter which can be set to a [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]] that seems appropriate.

===Wikilink to citation does not work===
If an article is using this template, and nothing happens when you click on the highlighted [[wikilink]] from a [[WP:SHORTCITE|short citation]] using a template to a [[WP:SHORTCITE|full citation]] at the bottom of the page, there are several possible solutions. If:
# Templates like this one are rarely used in this article. '''Solution''': Remove this template and format the citation in the style used most often in the article.
# The correct full citation does ''not'' appear at the bottom of the article. '''Solution''': Find the source (it may be copied from an article on a similar subject), and check that it verifies the text. If the source can't be found, replace this template with {{tl2|citation not found}}.
# The correct full citation appears at the bottom of the article, and
## The full citation uses a template from the list at [[Help:Citation Style 1|Citation Style 1]]:
### The name in the short citation is spelled or capitalized differently than in the full citation. '''Solution''': Check the source for the correct spelling, and use the same spelling, spacing, and capitalization in both the short and full citations.
### The template does not have an author's or an editor's, last name (authors take precedence over editors). '''Solution''': See [[#No author name in citation template|§No author name in citation template]], above.
### There is more than one full citation with the same last name(s) and year. '''Solution''': See [[#More than one work in a year|§More than one work in a year]].
### The year is different here than the full citation. '''Solution''': Check the source for the correct year, and use the same year in both the short and full citations.
### The template has a {{para|date}} field and no {{para|year}} field, but the format of the {{para|date}} field is unusual. '''Solution''': Try to fix the date. If the link still does not work, add {{para|year}} to the citation template. (It's okay if it has both.)
### The template does not have a year, or the year is set to "n.d." (no date). '''Solution''': Set the date field of this template to "n.d.".
##The citation template doesn't automatically create the anchor, but has {{para|ref}}. '''Solution''': See [[#Citation template doesn't automatically create the anchor|§Citation template doesn't automatically create the anchor]], above.
##The citation template doesn't support anchors at all. '''Solution''': See [[#Citation format does not support any kind of anchor|§Citation format does not support any kind of anchor]], above.
##The full citation is handwritten.
### There are no other citation templates in the article. This is probably because local editors prefer it that way. '''Solution''': You should adapt to the style of the article. This would probably entail removing this template and formatting the short citation in plain text or replacing it with a full citation in {{tag|ref}} tags.
### There are citation templates used liberally throughout the article. '''Solution''': Reformat the source with the appropriate {{cite *}} template (and set the {{para|ref}} appropriately, if necessary).
### The full citation is handwritten because the source can't be represented by our citation templates at all. '''Solution''': See [[#Citation format does not support any kind of anchor|§Citation format does not support any kind of anchor]], above.
Templates that have broken [[wikilink]]s using these templates are added to the category {{cat|All articles with broken links to citations}}.
== Techniques and variations ==
{{anchor|Additional comments or quotes}}
=== Adding additional comments or quotes ===
The templates {{tl2|harvnb}} or {{tl2|harvtxt}} can be used to add quotes or additional comments into the footnote, in the form of in-text attributions.
{{markup
|<nowiki>
Some information.<ref>{{harvnb|Smith|2011|p=2}}: "A quote verifying the information."</ref>
== Notes ==
{{reflist}}
</nowiki>|

{{Fake heading|sub=3|Notes}}

{{Fake heading|sub=3|Notes}}
{{reflist}}
}}
===Citations inside explanatory footnotes===
Sometimes an explanatory footnote requires a citation. There are several acceptable solutions.
It is currently disputed (June 2026) whether parenthetical referencing (or narrative referencing, i.e. in-text attribution serving as referencing) is deprecated inside {{tag|ref}} tags used for explanatory footnotes.
Citations using {{tl1|sfn}} can't be directly embedded between {{tag|ref}} tags, because the following message will be produced: {{small|{{error|Cite error references missing group||nocat=true}}}}. But {{tl1|sfn}} can be used with templates {{tl1|efn}} and {{tl1|notelist}}, which separates the explanatory footnotes from the short citations, as shown in this example. (See also [[Chinese Room]], which is an article that makes extensive use of this technique.)

===Adding a URL for the page or location===
If a specific link to the page or section is available, a [[Uniform Resource Locator|URL]] can be added to the location or page number.
{{markup
|<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">Article text.{{sfn|Smith|2011|p=[https://en.wikipedia.org 3]}}

}}}}
(See [[#url weirdness|below]] for a potential issue with this technique.)
===In text attribution===
{{see also|Wikipedia:Citing sources#In-text attribution}}
Per [[WP:PAREN]], a certain style of short citations using parentheses, placed ''within the article text itself'', is deprecated on Wikipedia. Several examples were raised and discussed during the [[Special:PermanentLink/976895063#Deprecate parenthetical citations|September 2020 request for comments]]. To summarize the consensus reached there:
{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Example !! Consensus
|-
| {{no| The Sun is pretty big. (Miller 2005, p. 1)}} || Formally deprecated; replace with "The Sun is pretty big.{{dummy reference}}"
|-
| {{maybe| The paper by Eek (2020) showed...{{dummy reference}}}} || Wordy, but may be valid as in-text attribution; use "Eek showed...{{dummy reference}}" instead
|-
| {{no| Eek (p. 35) showed...}} || Formally deprecated; use "Eek showed...{{dummy reference}}" instead
|-
| {{maybe| In 2020, Pelagic et al. found that...{{dummy reference}}}} || Wordy, but may be valid as in-text attribution.
|-
| {{no| {{fake link|Smith (2008)}} argued...}} || Formally deprecated; see the following for a non-deprecated alternative
|-
| {{maybe| Smith (2008) argued...{{dummy reference}}}} || May be valid as in-text attribution in contexts where both year and author are encyclopedic information; consider rewriting as "Smith, in 2008, argued...{{dummy reference}}"
|-
| {{yes| Smith argued...{{dummy reference}}}} || Standard non-deprecated format
|}
===Bundled citations===
{{see also|Help:Citation merging |Wikipedia:Citing sources#Bundling citations}}
Template {{tl2|harvnb}} (with <nowiki><ref></nowiki> tags) or {{tl2|sfnm}} can be used to [[WP:CITE#Bundling citations|bundle citations]].

}}
===Multiple lists of inline citations===
Sometimes there is a need to create two or more separate lists of inline footnotes. For example some family trees are contained in templates, they are transluded into several biographies, and they have their own self contained citations (see [[Template:Houston family tree]] and the article [[Margaret Lea Houston]]).
To facilitate this, while the main page uses the standard 1,2,3 footnote counting, it is common for family trees to use the efn template with a group parameter set—for example {{tlx|efn-lg}} (lower-greek). The efn templates are text templates, to link some or all of the content of the efn template to a long citation template such as {{tlx|cite book}} place {{tlx|harvnb}} or {{tlx|harv}} within the efn template.

{{anchor|Ps problems}}
== Other parameters ==
These parameters were designed to handle special cases that are better handled by other techniques.
===Parameter {{para|ps}}===
These templates have a parameter {{para|ps}}, designed to hold quotes and explanations.
Two or more {{tlc|sfn}} templates with the same authors, same year, and same page, but different {{para|ps}} will result in a {{small|{{error|Cite error: The named reference ... was defined multiple times with different content}}}} message. This message happens because the reference names that {{tlc|sfn}} creates will be the same, but the content between the {{tag|ref|params=name="FOOTNOTE..."|o}} tag and the {{tag|ref|c}} tag will be different.
A workaround is to convert the offending {{tlc|sfn}} templates to {{tlx|harvnb}} wrapped in {{tag|ref}} tags, as recommended in [[#Additional comments or quotes|§ Adding additional comments or quotes]]. This method is more versatile and robust.
Template {{para|ps}} also has a second (rare) use, when setting {{para|ps|none}}, which suppressed the final period. See [[#Variations in the format of the author-date citation|§ Variations in the format of the author-date citation]].
===Parameter {{para|ref}}===
The optional parameter {{para|ref}} was used to create an unusually named link from the short citation to the full citation. This typically would require setting the hand coded link on the full citation as well. It's easier to only set the link of the full citation to {{para|ref|{{tl2|sfnref}}}}.
If you specify {{para|ref|none}}, no hyperlink is created. However, if one does not want the link, it is always possible to simply use plain text instead of the template.
The parameter only appears in <nowiki>{{harv*}}</nowiki> templates, and may still appear in a few articles.
==Open problems==
===Link works but displays a no target error===
When a short-cite template links to a full citation that is rendered by a template that wraps a CS1 template, like {{txl|cite DNB}} (which wraps {{txl|cite encyclopedia}}), a {{error-small|no target}} error may be displayed even when the short-cite template is valid and the link works. That is a "false positive" error. The error message can be suppressed by adding {{para|ignore-err|yes}} to the template, or by adding the template {{t|Sfn whitelist}} with the anchor ID(s) to the article. If you are testing changes in [[Special:ExpandTemplates]] and the error message cannot be suppressed, try testing in a sandbox or user subpage instead.
==={{ucfirst:sfn}} embedded in list-defined ref does not work===
If you [[Help:Footnotes#embedding references|embed]] an {{ucfirst:sfn}} 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}}.
==Implementation notes==
These templates use two elements: a [[wikilink]] in the body of the article, and an [[WP:ANCHOR DEF|anchor]] in the reference section of the article. Clicking on the wikilink repositions the page at the anchor.
===Citation template [[HTML element#Links and anchors|anchor]]===
{{See also|Wikipedia:Citation templates and reference anchors}}
The most common citation templates are {{cs1}} or {{cs2}}. By default, [[Module:Citation/CS1]] creates an [[HTML element#Links and anchors|anchor]] {{tag|a|o|params=name="CITEREF"}} followed by the concatenation of the following parameters:
* '''last''' or '''last1''' or '''surname''' or '''surname1''' or '''author-last''' or '''author-last1''' or '''author1-last''' or '''author-surname''' or '''author-surname1''' or '''author1-surname''' or '''author''' or '''author1''' or '''authors''',
* '''last2''' or '''surname2''' or '''author-last2''' or '''author2-last''' or '''author-surname2''' or '''author2-surname''' or '''author2''',
* '''last3''' or '''surname3''' or '''author-last3''' or '''author3-last''' or '''author-surname3''' or '''author3-surname''' or '''author3''',
* '''last4''' or '''surname4''' or '''author-last4''' or '''author4-last''' or '''author-surname4''' or '''author4-surname''' or '''author4''',
* '''editor-last''' or '''editor-last1''' or '''editor1-last''' or '''editor-surname''' or '''editor-surname1''' or '''editor1-surname''' or '''editor1''' or '''editor''',
* '''editor-last2''' or '''editor2-last''' or '''editor-surname2''' or '''editor2-surname''' or '''editor2''',
* '''editor-last3''' or '''editor3-last''' or '''editor-surname3''' or '''editor3-surname''' or '''editor3''',
* '''editor-last4''' or '''editor4-last''' or '''editor-surname4''' or '''editor4-surname''' or '''editor4''',
* '''date''', '''year'''
This covers the most common templates. Information about all of the templates is available at [[Wikipedia:Citation templates and reference anchors]].
Use of the '''date''' parameter in place of the '''year''' parameter in citation templates is preferred.
===Harvard citation wikilink===
The Harvard citation templates create a [[wikilink]] to the anchor. For example {{tlx|Harv|Smith|2006|4=p=25}} produces the link {{code|#CITEREFSmith2006}} and {{tlx|Citation|2=last=Smith|3=first=John|4=date=27 January 2006|5=title=My Life}} produces the anchor {{code|CITEREFSmith2006}}.
===Using CITEREF directly===
{{Shortcut|WP:CITEREF}}
A few articles create a custom ID using {{code|CITEREF}}, either in place of the Harvard citation template (e.g. <code><nowiki>[[#CITEREFSmith2006|(2006)]]</nowiki></code>) or as a value for {{para|ref}} in the citation template.
{{Refname rules|A custom ID must follow these rules:|
* If CITEREF is used, then spaces in the {{para|ref}} field must be replaced with underscores}}
Examples:
* {{tlx|sfn|{{var|cite name}}|{{var|year}}}}
* {{tlx|cite book|2=ref=CITEREF{{var|cite_nameyear}}}}
* {{tlx|cite book|2=ref={{tl|sfnref|{{var|cite_name}}|{{var|year}}}}}}
Where {{var|cite_name}} is a name such as the publisher.
To avoid the sometimes difficult to remember syntax for links to CITEREF anchors, {{tl|citeref}} can be used to create internal wikilinks with either small superscript-style labels (like this<sup>[n]</sup>) or plain free-text labels to such anchors. It can be used inside of other citations.
Note that the {{code|CITEREF}} prefix is necessary for the [[mw:Reference Tooltips|reference tooltips gadget]] ([[MediaWiki:Gadget-ReferenceTooltips.js]]) to detect that a link goes to a citation.
===[[Template:sfn|<code><nowiki>{{sfn}}</nowiki></code>]]'s [[WP:REFNAME|ref name]]===
Template {{tl2|sfn}} creates a [[WP:REFNAME|named footnote]], so that identical footnotes are combined automatically. The footnote name begins with {{code|FOOTNOTE}} followed by a concatenation of the arguments to {{tl2|sfn}}. E.g.: this template call {{tlx|sfn|Smith|2006|4=p=26}} should have exactly the same functionality as {{tag|ref|params=name="FOOTNOTESmith200626"|content={{tl|Harvnb|Smith|2006|4=p=26}}.}} which, in turn, has the same functionality as {{tag|ref|params=name="FOOTNOTESmith200626"|content=<nowiki>[[#CITEREFSmith2006|Smith (2006)]], p.&nbsp;26.</nowiki>}}.
{{anchor|url weirdness}}
The ref name becomes more complicated when the page (p) parameter includes a URL, e.g. {{tlg|sfn|Joyce|1903|p{{=}}[https://archive.org/details/aconcisehistory00joycgoog/page/n226 213]|code=on}}, which, once defined, can be called by {{tag|ref|empty|params=name="FOOTNOTEJoyce1903[httpsarchiveorgdetailsaconcisehistory00joycgoogpagen226 213]"}}. The "p=" and the characters |,:,.,/,?,=; are therefore stripped out of the URL. The content of the loc parameter is similarly appended after this.
The call to {{tl2|harvnb}} has been [[subst]]'ed for quicker load times.
{{Fake header|Anchors for some examples}}

{{Lua|Module:Footnotes|Module:Check for unknown parameters}}
The '''shortened footnote template''' {{tl|sfn}} creates a short [[WP:Citing sources#Short citations|author–date citation]] in a [[Wikipedia:Citing sources|footnote]], with a one-directional link to the first matching [[Wikipedia:Citation templates|citation template]] on the same page. It will combine identical footnotes automatically.
It is used to create {{sfnote|lc=y}}, a [[WP:CITESTYLE|citation style]] which pairs a short, author-date citation in a footnote with a [[WP:HOWCITE|complete citation]] in the references section at the end of the article (see example [[#Example|below]]). This citation style is used to simplify multiple citations to the same source and to reduce clutter in the edit window.
Common problems and known workarounds are given in the sections below. Use the table of contents to find what you need.
Note that the use (or even non-use) of these templates is an element of citation "style", and adding or removing them in articles with an established style should be consistent with that style. See [[WP:CITEVAR]].
==Usage==
'''Sfn''' generates an "author-date" style short-cite from the following parameters:
<div style="margin-left: 2em"><code>{{<nowiki>sfn</nowiki>| <{{var|last1}}*> | <{{var|last2}}> | <{{var|last3}}> | <{{var|last4}}> | <{{var|year}}*> | p= <{{var|page}}> | loc= <{{var|location}}> }}</code></div>
with
* <{{var|last1}}> – required; surname of first author or corporate author
* <{{var|last2}}>–<{{var|last4}}> – positional parameters; surnames of next three authors; required if available in the full citation
* <{{var|year}}> – required; four-digit year; may have a lowercase disambiguation letter, like {{pval|2012a}}
* {{para|p}} – specific page referenced in the source (alias: {{para|page}}{{hairspace}})
* {{para|pp}} – comma-separated list of [[Template:Csdoc#pages|individual pages and / or range(s) of pages]] referenced in the source (alias: {{para|pages}}{{hairspace}})
* {{para|loc}} – in-source location when {{para|p}} and {{para|pp}} are inappropriate; may be used to supplement {{para|p}} and {{para|pp}}; information such as a section or figure number. (alias: {{para|at}}{{hairspace}})
=== Example ===
Typical usage is shown in the example below. The text and the footnote are connected by a bi-directional link – clicking on the superscript takes the reader to the footnote, clicking on the footnote number takes them back to the superscript. The clicking on the short citation takes them to the full citation in the references section.
'''Sfn''' will also automatically combine identical footnotes.

Template '''sfn''' is not placed inside {{tag|ref}} tags and generates the footnote internally. (To place '''sfn''' in a footnote, see [[#A citation inside an explanatory footnote|putting a citation inside a footnote]], below.)
===Parameters===
====Author(s) and year====
The first four author surnames (or all authors if fewer than four; use the values from {{para|last''N''}} or {{para|author''N''}}{{hairspace}}) are required, followed by the year of publication (from {{para|year}} or {{para|date}}). Authors past the fourth must be omitted or an error will result.
The [[#Possible issues with author-date link|possible issues]] section below describes workarounds for various common problems, such as [[#Large number of authors|large number of authors]], [[#No author name in citation template|no author name]], [[#More than one work in a year|multiple works in the same year]], [[#Two sources with same last names and years|Two sources with same last names and years]] and others.

==Possible issues with author-date link==
{{for|information on how to turn on error messages for broken links|:Category:Harv and Sfn template errors}}
These are techniques that address various unusual difficulties with the link between the short citation and the full citation.
===Custom anchors===
A custom anchor using {{tl|sfnref}} can, at least temporarily, always make the shortened footnote look exactly the way you would like and still have a link that works. Many of the problems and workarounds below require a custom anchor.
All CS1 citation templates and several other templates allow you to set a custom anchor with parameter {{para|ref}}. The template {{tl|sfnRef}} creates an anchor that will match {{tl|sfn}}'s if it has the same parameters as {{tl|sfn}}. To use this technique, choose the name and year you would like to appear in {{tl|sfn}}, copy these parameters into {{tl|sfnRef}} and set {{tl|ref}} to the {{tl|sfnRef}}.
In other words, if you want this:
* {{tl2|sfn|<*''name you want''>|<''year''>|<''page / location''>}}
then set this:
* {{para|ref|{{tl2|sfnRef|<''name you want''>|<''year''>}}}}
in the template, and the link should work correctly.
The parameters must be <em>identical</em> in every respect. If the year is unusual (i.e. not a number), then include the year in the name and don't use the year position.
===Large number of authors===
If there are more than four authors, the first four authors' surnames (the value in {{para|last}} or {{para|author}}) are required by the template. Listing more authors is not supported. It is also possible to use a [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]] that sets the name field to "Smith et. al.".

===More than one work in a year===
Where there is a need to cite more than one work ''by the same author published in the same year'', the standard way to disambiguate such works is to add a letter suffix after the year, e.g. "Smith 2006a" and "Smith 2006b".
Set the year element of the {{tlc|sfn}} templates (e.g. {{tlc|sfn|Smith|2006a}} and {{tlc|sfn|Smith|2006a}}), and add the disambiguation letter to the matching full citation, (e.g. <code><nowiki>{{cite book|...|last=Smith|date=2006b}}</nowiki></code>).
When {{tlc|sfn}} is used with {{tlx|citation}} or {{cs1}} templates, a year-suffix letter may be added to {{para|date}} for all accepted date formats except year-initial numeric ({{small|YYYY-MM-DD}}). It is not necessary to include both {{para|date}} and {{para|year}} (see exception [[#NB_YEAR|below]]). If both are included, {{para|year}} is used for the <code>CITEREF</code> anchor to be compliant with legacy citations.
:{{para|date|2013a}}: simple year only dates
:{{para|date|Jan 2013b}} or {{para|date|Winter 2013b}}: month or season and year dates
:{{para|date|9 November 2013b}} or {{para|date|November 9, 2013b}}: full dates
:{{para|date|June–July 2013c}} or {{para|date|Winter–Spring 2013c}}: month or season ranges and year dates
:{{para|date|c. 2013d}}: circa year dates
:{{para|date|{{#time:Y}}–{{#time:Y|now +1 year}}e}} or {{para|date|Summer {{#time:Y}}–{{#time:y|now +1 year}}e}}: year ranges
:{{para|date|n.d.f}}: no date (n.d.)
:{{anchor|NB_YEAR}}<s>{{para|date|2013g-11-09}}</s>: not supported, the template must use {{para|year|2013g}}. If month and day should be part of the citation as well, both parameters need to be given: {{para|date|2013-11-09}} {{para|year|2013x}}. In this case, {{para|date}} is used for citation display and metadata purposes, and {{para|year}} for link disambiguation.

===Two sources with same last names and years ===
An article might cite works from the same year by two different authors with the same last name. For example, an article might cite psychoanalysts [[Anna Freud]] and [[Sigmund Freud]], who both wrote books in the same year.
There are two solutions: it's possible to use the same technique described in the previous section. To differentiate between the two books, the first one can be given the year "1928a" and the second one "1928b".
Or, you can create a [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]] that adds an initial to the name fields, e.g. "A. Freud" and "S. Freud". The links will no longer conflict.

===Citation template has no author name===
Some sources do not have a single author with a last name, such as a magazine article or a report from a government institution. There is no consensus (in Wikipedia or among citation styles) about how to format author–date citations for works that do not have a specific author. Several choices are:
# The title of the article, or a shortened form of the title, is recommended by some style guides.
# For a newspaper or periodical, you may use the name of the paper and the date.
# For a publication by an institution, use either:
## The initials of the institution
## The name of the institution
# Other style guides recommend using "Anonymous" or "Anon."
An article should adopt one of these styles consistently.
Use a [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]] to replace set the author name to one of these other choices, as shown in these examples below.

===Citation template has no year but has a date===
Either the {{para|date}} or {{para|year}} of a citation template can be matched—the template logic can extract the year from a full date. If the date parameter is not a full date, then the extraction will fail. If the link does not seem to work, it also possible to set both {{para|date}} and {{para|year}} parameters. The template will display the date and use the year for the anchor. These two examples show a year being successfully extracted from full date.

===Citation template has no date===
If the cited source does not have a date, you can use {{para|date|n.d.}} for the full citation and "n.d." in place of the date for the short citation:
{{markup
|<nowiki>This is a fact.{{sfn|Smith|n.d.}}
==Notes==
{{reflist}}
==References==
* {{Citation |last=Smith |title=Title |date=n.d. |publisher=Publisher |mode=cs1}}</nowiki>
|This is a fact.{{sfn|Smith|n.d.}}
{{fake heading|sub=3|Notes}}
{{reflist}}
{{fake heading|sub=3|References}}
* {{Citation |last=Smith |title=Title |date=n.d. |publisher=Publisher |mode=cs1}}
}}
=== No date, author, or title ===
If the cited source does not have a date, author, or title, place a description of the source within brackets for the {{para|title}} parameter, use {{para|date|n.d.}} and create [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]] with the description in the name position and "n.d." in the year.
{{markup
|<nowiki>This is a fact.{{sfn|[Description]|n.d.}}
==Notes==
{{reflist}}
==References==
* {{Citation |title=[Description] |date=n.d. |publisher=Publisher |mode=cs1 |ref={{sfnref|[Description]|n.d.}} }}</nowiki>
|This is a fact.{{sfn|[Description]|n.d.}}
{{fake heading|sub=3|Notes}}
{{reflist}}
{{fake heading|sub=3|References}}
* {{Citation |title=[Description] |date=n.d. |publisher=Publisher |mode=cs1 |ref={{sfnref|[Description]|n.d.}} }}
}}
===Citation template doesn't create a compatible anchor===
{{See also|[[Wikipedia:Citation templates and reference anchors]])}}
Some templates, such as {{tl|cite comic}} template use the parameter {{para|ref}} to create an anchor for the short citation. This can be used to set a [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]] for {{tl|sfn}}
{{markup
|<nowiki>Article text.{{sfn|Morrison|1987}}
==Notes==
{{reflist}}
==References==
* {{cite comic
|writer=Morrison, Grant
|artist=Yeowell, Steve
|title=2000 AD
|date=August 15, 1987
|publisher=[[Fleetway]]
|ref={{sfnref|Morrison|1987}}
}}</nowiki>

}}}}}}
You could also use CITEREF directly with a concatenation of <code>#CITEREF</code> plus the parameters passed to the Harvard citation template.
===Citation format does not support any kind of anchor===
{{See also|[[Wikipedia:Citation templates and reference anchors]])}}
If the citation is handwritten you should consider the citation format of the article. If citation templates are acceptable here, then try to find one that works for this template. If no template can be found, then this may be a source which can't be represented in our citation templates.
There are also a few templates that do not support any kind of anchor.
For both of these rare cases it is possible to use {{tl2|wikicite}}. It has a {{para|ref}} parameter which can be set to a [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]] that seems appropriate.

===Wikilink to citation does not work===
If an article is using this template, and nothing happens when you click on the highlighted [[wikilink]] from a [[WP:SHORTCITE|short citation]] using a template to a [[WP:SHORTCITE|full citation]] at the bottom of the page, there are several possible solutions. If:
# Templates like this one are rarely used in this article. '''Solution''': Remove this template and format the citation in the style used most often in the article.
# The correct full citation does ''not'' appear at the bottom of the article. '''Solution''': Find the source (it may be copied from an article on a similar subject), and check that it verifies the text. If the source can't be found, replace this template with {{tl2|citation not found}}.
# The correct full citation appears at the bottom of the article, and
## The full citation uses a template from the list at [[Help:Citation Style 1|Citation Style 1]]:
### The name in the short citation is spelled or capitalized differently than in the full citation. '''Solution''': Check the source for the correct spelling, and use the same spelling, spacing, and capitalization in both the short and full citations.
### The template does not have an author's or an editor's, last name (authors take precedence over editors). '''Solution''': See [[#No author name in citation template|§No author name in citation template]], above.
### There is more than one full citation with the same last name(s) and year. '''Solution''': See [[#More than one work in a year|§More than one work in a year]].
### The year is different here than the full citation. '''Solution''': Check the source for the correct year, and use the same year in both the short and full citations.
### The template has a {{para|date}} field and no {{para|year}} field, but the format of the {{para|date}} field is unusual. '''Solution''': Try to fix the date. If the link still does not work, add {{para|year}} to the citation template. (It's okay if it has both.)
### The template does not have a year, or the year is set to "n.d." (no date). '''Solution''': Set the date field of this template to "n.d.".
##The citation template doesn't automatically create the anchor, but has {{para|ref}}. '''Solution''': See [[#Citation template doesn't automatically create the anchor|§Citation template doesn't automatically create the anchor]], above.
##The citation template doesn't support anchors at all. '''Solution''': See [[#Citation format does not support any kind of anchor|§Citation format does not support any kind of anchor]], above.
##The full citation is handwritten.
### There are no other citation templates in the article. This is probably because local editors prefer it that way. '''Solution''': You should adapt to the style of the article. This would probably entail removing this template and formatting the short citation in plain text or replacing it with a full citation in {{tag|ref}} tags.
### There are citation templates used liberally throughout the article. '''Solution''': Reformat the source with the appropriate {{cite *}} template (and set the {{para|ref}} appropriately, if necessary).
### The full citation is handwritten because the source can't be represented by our citation templates at all. '''Solution''': See [[#Citation format does not support any kind of anchor|§Citation format does not support any kind of anchor]], above.
Templates that have broken [[wikilink]]s using these templates are added to the category {{cat|All articles with broken links to citations}}.
== Techniques and variations ==
{{anchor|Additional comments or quotes}}
=== Adding additional comments or quotes ===
The templates {{tl2|harvnb}} or {{tl2|harvtxt}} can be used to add quotes or additional comments into the footnote, in the form of in-text attributions.
{{markup
|<nowiki>
Some information.<ref>{{harvnb|Smith|2011|p=2}}: "A quote verifying the information."</ref>
== Notes ==
{{reflist}}
</nowiki>|

{{Fake heading|sub=3|Notes}}
{{reflist}}
}}
===Citations inside explanatory footnotes===
Sometimes an explanatory footnote requires a citation. There are several acceptable solutions.
It is currently disputed (June 2026) whether parenthetical referencing (or narrative referencing, i.e. in-text attribution serving as referencing) is deprecated inside {{tag|ref}} tags used for explanatory footnotes.
Citations using {{tl1|sfn}} can't be directly embedded between {{tag|ref}} tags, because the following message will be produced: {{small|{{error|Cite error references missing group||nocat=true}}}}. But {{tl1|sfn}} can be used with templates {{tl1|efn}} and {{tl1|notelist}}, which separates the explanatory footnotes from the short citations, as shown in this example. (See also [[Chinese Room]], which is an article that makes extensive use of this technique.)

===Adding a URL for the page or location===
If a specific link to the page or section is available, a [[Uniform Resource Locator|URL]] can be added to the location or page number.
{{markup
|<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">Article text.{{sfn|Smith|2011|p=[https://en.wikipedia.org 3]}}

}}}}
(See [[#url weirdness|below]] for a potential issue with this technique.)
===In text attribution===
{{see also|Wikipedia:Citing sources#In-text attribution}}
Per [[WP:PAREN]], a certain style of short citations using parentheses, placed ''within the article text itself'', is deprecated on Wikipedia. Several examples were raised and discussed during the [[Special:PermanentLink/976895063#Deprecate parenthetical citations|September 2020 request for comments]]. To summarize the consensus reached there:
{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Example !! Consensus
|-
| {{no| The Sun is pretty big. (Miller 2005, p. 1)}} || Formally deprecated; replace with "The Sun is pretty big.{{dummy reference}}"
|-
| {{maybe| The paper by Eek (2020) showed...{{dummy reference}}}} || Wordy, but may be valid as in-text attribution; use "Eek showed...{{dummy reference}}" instead
|-
| {{no| Eek (p. 35) showed...}} || Formally deprecated; use "Eek showed...{{dummy reference}}" instead
|-
| {{maybe| In 2020, Pelagic et al. found that...{{dummy reference}}}} || Wordy, but may be valid as in-text attribution.
|-
| {{no| {{fake link|Smith (2008)}} argued...}} || Formally deprecated; see the following for a non-deprecated alternative
|-
| {{maybe| Smith (2008) argued...{{dummy reference}}}} || May be valid as in-text attribution in contexts where both year and author are encyclopedic information; consider rewriting as "Smith, in 2008, argued...{{dummy reference}}"
|-
| {{yes| Smith argued...{{dummy reference}}}} || Standard non-deprecated format
|}
===Bundled citations===
{{see also|Help:Citation merging |Wikipedia:Citing sources#Bundling citations}}
Template {{tl2|harvnb}} (with <nowiki><ref></nowiki> tags) or {{tl2|sfnm}} can be used to [[WP:CITE#Bundling citations|bundle citations]].

}}
===Multiple lists of inline citations===
Sometimes there is a need to create two or more separate lists of inline footnotes. For example some family trees are contained in templates, they are transluded into several biographies, and they have their own self contained citations (see [[Template:Houston family tree]] and the article [[Margaret Lea Houston]]).
To facilitate this, while the main page uses the standard 1,2,3 footnote counting, it is common for family trees to use the efn template with a group parameter set—for example {{tlx|efn-lg}} (lower-greek). The efn templates are text templates, to link some or all of the content of the efn template to a long citation template such as {{tlx|cite book}} place {{tlx|harvnb}} or {{tlx|harv}} within the efn template.

{{anchor|Ps problems}}
== Other parameters ==
These parameters were designed to handle special cases that are better handled by other techniques.
===Parameter {{para|ps}}===
These templates have a parameter {{para|ps}}, designed to hold quotes and explanations.
Two or more {{tlc|sfn}} templates with the same authors, same year, and same page, but different {{para|ps}} will result in a {{small|{{error|Cite error: The named reference ... was defined multiple times with different content}}}} message. This message happens because the reference names that {{tlc|sfn}} creates will be the same, but the content between the {{tag|ref|params=name="FOOTNOTE..."|o}} tag and the {{tag|ref|c}} tag will be different.
A workaround is to convert the offending {{tlc|sfn}} templates to {{tlx|harvnb}} wrapped in {{tag|ref}} tags, as recommended in [[#Additional comments or quotes|§ Adding additional comments or quotes]]. This method is more versatile and robust.
Template {{para|ps}} also has a second (rare) use, when setting {{para|ps|none}}, which suppressed the final period. See [[#Variations in the format of the author-date citation|§ Variations in the format of the author-date citation]].
===Parameter {{para|ref}}===
The optional parameter {{para|ref}} was used to create an unusually named link from the short citation to the full citation. This typically would require setting the hand coded link on the full citation as well. It's easier to only set the link of the full citation to {{para|ref|{{tl2|sfnref}}}}.
If you specify {{para|ref|none}}, no hyperlink is created. However, if one does not want the link, it is always possible to simply use plain text instead of the template.
The parameter only appears in <nowiki>{{harv*}}</nowiki> templates, and may still appear in a few articles.
==Open problems==
===Link works but displays a no target error===
When a short-cite template links to a full citation that is rendered by a template that wraps a CS1 template, like {{txl|cite DNB}} (which wraps {{txl|cite encyclopedia}}), a {{error-small|no target}} error may be displayed even when the short-cite template is valid and the link works. That is a "false positive" error. The error message can be suppressed by adding {{para|ignore-err|yes}} to the template, or by adding the template {{t|Sfn whitelist}} with the anchor ID(s) to the article. If you are testing changes in [[Special:ExpandTemplates]] and the error message cannot be suppressed, try testing in a sandbox or user subpage instead.
==={{ucfirst:sfn}} embedded in list-defined ref does not work===
If you [[Help:Footnotes#embedding references|embed]] an {{ucfirst:sfn}} 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}}.
==Implementation notes==
These templates use two elements: a [[wikilink]] in the body of the article, and an [[WP:ANCHOR DEF|anchor]] in the reference section of the article. Clicking on the wikilink repositions the page at the anchor.
===Citation template [[HTML element#Links and anchors|anchor]]===
{{See also|Wikipedia:Citation templates and reference anchors}}
The most common citation templates are {{cs1}} or {{cs2}}. By default, [[Module:Citation/CS1]] creates an [[HTML element#Links and anchors|anchor]] {{tag|a|o|params=name="CITEREF"}} followed by the concatenation of the following parameters:
* '''last''' or '''last1''' or '''surname''' or '''surname1''' or '''author-last''' or '''author-last1''' or '''author1-last''' or '''author-surname''' or '''author-surname1''' or '''author1-surname''' or '''author''' or '''author1''' or '''authors''',
* '''last2''' or '''surname2''' or '''author-last2''' or '''author2-last''' or '''author-surname2''' or '''author2-surname''' or '''author2''',
* '''last3''' or '''surname3''' or '''author-last3''' or '''author3-last''' or '''author-surname3''' or '''author3-surname''' or '''author3''',
* '''last4''' or '''surname4''' or '''author-last4''' or '''author4-last''' or '''author-surname4''' or '''author4-surname''' or '''author4''',
* '''editor-last''' or '''editor-last1''' or '''editor1-last''' or '''editor-surname''' or '''editor-surname1''' or '''editor1-surname''' or '''editor1''' or '''editor''',
* '''editor-last2''' or '''editor2-last''' or '''editor-surname2''' or '''editor2-surname''' or '''editor2''',
* '''editor-last3''' or '''editor3-last''' or '''editor-surname3''' or '''editor3-surname''' or '''editor3''',
* '''editor-last4''' or '''editor4-last''' or '''editor-surname4''' or '''editor4-surname''' or '''editor4''',
* '''date''', '''year'''
This covers the most common templates. Information about all of the templates is available at [[Wikipedia:Citation templates and reference anchors]].
Use of the '''date''' parameter in place of the '''year''' parameter in citation templates is preferred.
===Harvard citation wikilink===
The Harvard citation templates create a [[wikilink]] to the anchor. For example {{tlx|Harv|Smith|2006|4=p=25}} produces the link {{code|#CITEREFSmith2006}} and {{tlx|Citation|2=last=Smith|3=first=John|4=date=27 January 2006|5=title=My Life}} produces the anchor {{code|CITEREFSmith2006}}.
===Using CITEREF directly===
{{Shortcut|WP:CITEREF}}
A few articles create a custom ID using {{code|CITEREF}}, either in place of the Harvard citation template (e.g. <code><nowiki>[[#CITEREFSmith2006|(2006)]]</nowiki></code>) or as a value for {{para|ref}} in the citation template.
{{Refname rules|A custom ID must follow these rules:|
* If CITEREF is used, then spaces in the {{para|ref}} field must be replaced with underscores}}
Examples:
* {{tlx|sfn|{{var|cite name}}|{{var|year}}}}
* {{tlx|cite book|2=ref=CITEREF{{var|cite_nameyear}}}}
* {{tlx|cite book|2=ref={{tl|sfnref|{{var|cite_name}}|{{var|year}}}}}}
Where {{var|cite_name}} is a name such as the publisher.
To avoid the sometimes difficult to remember syntax for links to CITEREF anchors, {{tl|citeref}} can be used to create internal wikilinks with either small superscript-style labels (like this<sup>[n]</sup>) or plain free-text labels to such anchors. It can be used inside of other citations.
Note that the {{code|CITEREF}} prefix is necessary for the [[mw:Reference Tooltips|reference tooltips gadget]] ([[MediaWiki:Gadget-ReferenceTooltips.js]]) to detect that a link goes to a citation.
===[[Template:sfn|<code><nowiki>{{sfn}}</nowiki></code>]]'s [[WP:REFNAME|ref name]]===
Template {{tl2|sfn}} creates a [[WP:REFNAME|named footnote]], so that identical footnotes are combined automatically. The footnote name begins with {{code|FOOTNOTE}} followed by a concatenation of the arguments to {{tl2|sfn}}. E.g.: this template call {{tlx|sfn|Smith|2006|4=p=26}} should have exactly the same functionality as {{tag|ref|params=name="FOOTNOTESmith200626"|content={{tl|Harvnb|Smith|2006|4=p=26}}.}} which, in turn, has the same functionality as {{tag|ref|params=name="FOOTNOTESmith200626"|content=<nowiki>[[#CITEREFSmith2006|Smith (2006)]], p.&nbsp;26.</nowiki>}}.
{{anchor|url weirdness}}
The ref name becomes more complicated when the page (p) parameter includes a URL, e.g. {{tlg|sfn|Joyce|1903|p{{=}}[https://archive.org/details/aconcisehistory00joycgoog/page/n226 213]|code=on}}, which, once defined, can be called by {{tag|ref|empty|params=name="FOOTNOTEJoyce1903[httpsarchiveorgdetailsaconcisehistory00joycgoogpagen226 213]"}}. The "p=" and the characters |,:,.,/,?,=; are therefore stripped out of the URL. The content of the loc parameter is similarly appended after this.
The call to {{tl2|harvnb}} has been [[subst]]'ed for quicker load times.
{{Fake header|Anchors for some examples}}

{{Lua|Module:Footnotes|Module:Check for unknown parameters}}
The '''shortened footnote template''' {{tl|sfn}} creates a short [[WP:Citing sources#Short citations|author–date citation]] in a [[Wikipedia:Citing sources|footnote]], with a one-directional link to the first matching [[Wikipedia:Citation templates|citation template]] on the same page. It will combine identical footnotes automatically.
It is used to create {{sfnote|lc=y}}, a [[WP:CITESTYLE|citation style]] which pairs a short, author-date citation in a footnote with a [[WP:HOWCITE|complete citation]] in the references section at the end of the article (see example [[#Example|below]]). This citation style is used to simplify multiple citations to the same source and to reduce clutter in the edit window.
Common problems and known workarounds are given in the sections below. Use the table of contents to find what you need.
Note that the use (or even non-use) of these templates is an element of citation "style", and adding or removing them in articles with an established style should be consistent with that style. See [[WP:CITEVAR]].
==Usage==
'''Sfn''' generates an "author-date" style short-cite from the following parameters:
<div style="margin-left: 2em"><code>{{<nowiki>sfn</nowiki>| <{{var|last1}}*> | <{{var|last2}}> | <{{var|last3}}> | <{{var|last4}}> | <{{var|year}}*> | p= <{{var|page}}> | loc= <{{var|location}}> }}</code></div>
with
* <{{var|last1}}> – required; surname of first author or corporate author
* <{{var|last2}}>–<{{var|last4}}> – positional parameters; surnames of next three authors; required if available in the full citation
* <{{var|year}}> – required; four-digit year; may have a lowercase disambiguation letter, like {{pval|2012a}}
* {{para|p}} – specific page referenced in the source (alias: {{para|page}}{{hairspace}})
* {{para|pp}} – comma-separated list of [[Template:Csdoc#pages|individual pages and / or range(s) of pages]] referenced in the source (alias: {{para|pages}}{{hairspace}})
* {{para|loc}} – in-source location when {{para|p}} and {{para|pp}} are inappropriate; may be used to supplement {{para|p}} and {{para|pp}}; information such as a section or figure number. (alias: {{para|at}}{{hairspace}})
=== Example ===
Typical usage is shown in the example below. The text and the footnote are connected by a bi-directional link – clicking on the superscript takes the reader to the footnote, clicking on the footnote number takes them back to the superscript. The clicking on the short citation takes them to the full citation in the references section.
'''Sfn''' will also automatically combine identical footnotes.

Template '''sfn''' is not placed inside {{tag|ref}} tags and generates the footnote internally. (To place '''sfn''' in a footnote, see [[#A citation inside an explanatory footnote|putting a citation inside a footnote]], below.)
===Parameters===
====Author(s) and year====
The first four author surnames (or all authors if fewer than four; use the values from {{para|last''N''}} or {{para|author''N''}}{{hairspace}}) are required, followed by the year of publication (from {{para|year}} or {{para|date}}). Authors past the fourth must be omitted or an error will result.
The [[#Possible issues with author-date link|possible issues]] section below describes workarounds for various common problems, such as [[#Large number of authors|large number of authors]], [[#No author name in citation template|no author name]], [[#More than one work in a year|multiple works in the same year]], [[#Two sources with same last names and years|Two sources with same last names and years]] and others.

Use {{para|p}} for single pages; use {{para|pp}} for multiple pages (such as ranges). Use of {{para|p}} for multiple pages or {{para|pp}} for single pages can cause [[Help:Cite errors/Cite error references duplicate key|cite errors]].
{{para|loc}} can be used to specify a location in the source in another way, such as section numbers or chapters. It can also be combined with {{para|p}} or {{para|pp}}.

==Possible issues with author-date link==
{{for|information on how to turn on error messages for broken links|:Category:Harv and Sfn template errors}}
These are techniques that address various unusual difficulties with the link between the short citation and the full citation.
===Custom anchors===
A custom anchor using {{tl|sfnref}} can, at least temporarily, always make the shortened footnote look exactly the way you would like and still have a link that works. Many of the problems and workarounds below require a custom anchor.
All CS1 citation templates and several other templates allow you to set a custom anchor with parameter {{para|ref}}. The template {{tl|sfnRef}} creates an anchor that will match {{tl|sfn}}'s if it has the same parameters as {{tl|sfn}}. To use this technique, choose the name and year you would like to appear in {{tl|sfn}}, copy these parameters into {{tl|sfnRef}} and set {{tl|ref}} to the {{tl|sfnRef}}.
In other words, if you want this:
* {{tl2|sfn|<*''name you want''>|<''year''>|<''page / location''>}}
then set this:
* {{para|ref|{{tl2|sfnRef|<''name you want''>|<''year''>}}}}
in the template, and the link should work correctly.
The parameters must be <em>identical</em> in every respect. If the year is unusual (i.e. not a number), then include the year in the name and don't use the year position.
===Large number of authors===
If there are more than four authors, the first four authors' surnames (the value in {{para|last}} or {{para|author}}) are required by the template. Listing more authors is not supported. It is also possible to use a [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]] that sets the name field to "Smith et. al.".

===More than one work in a year===
Where there is a need to cite more than one work ''by the same author published in the same year'', the standard way to disambiguate such works is to add a letter suffix after the year, e.g. "Smith 2006a" and "Smith 2006b".
Set the year element of the {{tlc|sfn}} templates (e.g. {{tlc|sfn|Smith|2006a}} and {{tlc|sfn|Smith|2006a}}), and add the disambiguation letter to the matching full citation, (e.g. <code><nowiki>{{cite book|...|last=Smith|date=2006b}}</nowiki></code>).
When {{tlc|sfn}} is used with {{tlx|citation}} or {{cs1}} templates, a year-suffix letter may be added to {{para|date}} for all accepted date formats except year-initial numeric ({{small|YYYY-MM-DD}}). It is not necessary to include both {{para|date}} and {{para|year}} (see exception [[#NB_YEAR|below]]). If both are included, {{para|year}} is used for the <code>CITEREF</code> anchor to be compliant with legacy citations.
:{{para|date|2013a}}: simple year only dates
:{{para|date|Jan 2013b}} or {{para|date|Winter 2013b}}: month or season and year dates
:{{para|date|9 November 2013b}} or {{para|date|November 9, 2013b}}: full dates
:{{para|date|June–July 2013c}} or {{para|date|Winter–Spring 2013c}}: month or season ranges and year dates
:{{para|date|c. 2013d}}: circa year dates
:{{para|date|{{#time:Y}}–{{#time:Y|now +1 year}}e}} or {{para|date|Summer {{#time:Y}}–{{#time:y|now +1 year}}e}}: year ranges
:{{para|date|n.d.f}}: no date (n.d.)
:{{anchor|NB_YEAR}}<s>{{para|date|2013g-11-09}}</s>: not supported, the template must use {{para|year|2013g}}. If month and day should be part of the citation as well, both parameters need to be given: {{para|date|2013-11-09}} {{para|year|2013x}}. In this case, {{para|date}} is used for citation display and metadata purposes, and {{para|year}} for link disambiguation.

===Two sources with same last names and years ===
An article might cite works from the same year by two different authors with the same last name. For example, an article might cite psychoanalysts [[Anna Freud]] and [[Sigmund Freud]], who both wrote books in the same year.
There are two solutions: it's possible to use the same technique described in the previous section. To differentiate between the two books, the first one can be given the year "1928a" and the second one "1928b".
Or, you can create a [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]] that adds an initial to the name fields, e.g. "A. Freud" and "S. Freud". The links will no longer conflict.

===Citation template has no author name===
Some sources do not have a single author with a last name, such as a magazine article or a report from a government institution. There is no consensus (in Wikipedia or among citation styles) about how to format author–date citations for works that do not have a specific author. Several choices are:
# The title of the article, or a shortened form of the title, is recommended by some style guides.
# For a newspaper or periodical, you may use the name of the paper and the date.
# For a publication by an institution, use either:
## The initials of the institution
## The name of the institution
# Other style guides recommend using "Anonymous" or "Anon."
An article should adopt one of these styles consistently.
Use a [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]] to replace set the author name to one of these other choices, as shown in these examples below.

===Citation template has no year but has a date===
Either the {{para|date}} or {{para|year}} of a citation template can be matched—the template logic can extract the year from a full date. If the date parameter is not a full date, then the extraction will fail. If the link does not seem to work, it also possible to set both {{para|date}} and {{para|year}} parameters. The template will display the date and use the year for the anchor. These two examples show a year being successfully extracted from full date.

===Citation template has no date===
If the cited source does not have a date, you can use {{para|date|n.d.}} for the full citation and "n.d." in place of the date for the short citation:
{{markup
|<nowiki>This is a fact.{{sfn|Smith|n.d.}}
==Notes==
{{reflist}}
==References==
* {{Citation |last=Smith |title=Title |date=n.d. |publisher=Publisher |mode=cs1}}</nowiki>
|This is a fact.{{sfn|Smith|n.d.}}
{{fake heading|sub=3|Notes}}
{{reflist}}
{{fake heading|sub=3|References}}
* {{Citation |last=Smith |title=Title |date=n.d. |publisher=Publisher |mode=cs1}}
}}
=== Citation template has no author, date or title ===
If the cited source does not have a date, author, or title, place a description of the source within brackets for the {{para|title}} parameter, use {{para|date|n.d.}} and create [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]] with the description in the name position and "n.d." in the year.
{{markup
|<nowiki>This is a fact.{{sfn|[Description]|n.d.}}
==Notes==
{{reflist}}
==References==
* {{Citation |title=[Description] |date=n.d. |publisher=Publisher |mode=cs1 |ref={{sfnref|[Description]|n.d.}} }}</nowiki>
|This is a fact.{{sfn|[Description]|n.d.}}
{{fake heading|sub=3|Notes}}
{{reflist}}
{{fake heading|sub=3|References}}
* {{Citation |title=[Description] |date=n.d. |publisher=Publisher |mode=cs1 |ref={{sfnref|[Description]|n.d.}} }}
}}
===Citation template doesn't create a compatible anchor===
{{See also|[[Wikipedia:Citation templates and reference anchors]])}}
Some templates, such as {{tl|cite comic}} template use the parameter {{para|ref}} to create an anchor for the short citation. This can be used to set a [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]] for {{tl|sfn}}
{{markup
|<nowiki>Article text.{{sfn|Morrison|1987}}
==Notes==
{{reflist}}
==References==
* {{cite comic
|writer=Morrison, Grant
|artist=Yeowell, Steve
|title=2000 AD
|date=August 15, 1987
|publisher=[[Fleetway]]
|ref={{sfnref|Morrison|1987}}
}}</nowiki>
|{{fake notes and references

|publisher=[[Fleetway]]
|ref={{sfnref|Morrison|1987}}
}}}}}}
You could also use CITEREF directly with a concatenation of <code>#CITEREF</code> plus the parameters passed to the Harvard citation template.
===Citation format does not support any kind of anchor===
{{See also|[[Wikipedia:Citation templates and reference anchors]])}}
If the citation is handwritten you should consider the citation format of the article. If citation templates are acceptable here, then try to find one that works for this template. If no template can be found, then this may be a source which can't be represented in our citation templates.
There are also a few templates that do not support any kind of anchor.
For both of these rare cases it is possible to use {{tl2|wikicite}}. It has a {{para|ref}} parameter which can be set to a [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]] that seems appropriate.

===Wikilink to citation does not work===
If an article is using this template, and nothing happens when you click on the highlighted [[wikilink]] from a [[WP:SHORTCITE|short citation]] using a template to a [[WP:SHORTCITE|full citation]] at the bottom of the page, there are several possible solutions. If:
# Templates like this one are rarely used in this article. '''Solution''': Remove this template and format the citation in the style used most often in the article.
# The correct full citation does ''not'' appear at the bottom of the article. '''Solution''': Find the source (it may be copied from an article on a similar subject), and check that it verifies the text. If the source can't be found, replace this template with {{tl2|citation not found}}.
# The correct full citation appears at the bottom of the article, and
## The full citation uses a template from the list at [[Help:Citation Style 1|Citation Style 1]]:
### The name in the short citation is spelled or capitalized differently than in the full citation. '''Solution''': Check the source for the correct spelling, and use the same spelling, spacing, and capitalization in both the short and full citations.
### The template does not have an author's or an editor's, last name (authors take precedence over editors). '''Solution''': See [[#No author name in citation template|§No author name in citation template]], above.
### There is more than one full citation with the same last name(s) and year. '''Solution''': See [[#More than one work in a year|§More than one work in a year]].
### The year is different here than the full citation. '''Solution''': Check the source for the correct year, and use the same year in both the short and full citations.
### The template has a {{para|date}} field and no {{para|year}} field, but the format of the {{para|date}} field is unusual. '''Solution''': Try to fix the date. If the link still does not work, add {{para|year}} to the citation template. (It's okay if it has both.)
### The template does not have a year, or the year is set to "n.d." (no date). '''Solution''': Set the date field of this template to "n.d.".
##The citation template doesn't automatically create the anchor, but has {{para|ref}}. '''Solution''': See [[#Citation template doesn't automatically create the anchor|§Citation template doesn't automatically create the anchor]], above.
##The citation template doesn't support anchors at all. '''Solution''': See [[#Citation format does not support any kind of anchor|§Citation format does not support any kind of anchor]], above.
##The full citation is handwritten.
### There are no other citation templates in the article. This is probably because local editors prefer it that way. '''Solution''': You should adapt to the style of the article. This would probably entail removing this template and formatting the short citation in plain text or replacing it with a full citation in {{tag|ref}} tags.
### There are citation templates used liberally throughout the article. '''Solution''': Reformat the source with the appropriate {{cite *}} template (and set the {{para|ref}} appropriately, if necessary).
### The full citation is handwritten because the source can't be represented by our citation templates at all. '''Solution''': See [[#Citation format does not support any kind of anchor|§Citation format does not support any kind of anchor]], above.
Templates that have broken [[wikilink]]s using these templates are added to the category {{cat|All articles with broken links to citations}}.
== Techniques and variations ==
{{anchor|Additional comments or quotes}}
=== Adding additional comments or quotes ===
The templates {{tl2|harvnb}} or {{tl2|harvtxt}} can be used to add quotes or additional comments into the footnote, in the form of in-text attributions.
{{markup
|<nowiki>
Some information.<ref>{{harvnb|Smith|2011|p=2}}: "A quote verifying the information."</ref>
== Notes ==
{{reflist}}
</nowiki>|

}}
===Citations inside explanatory footnotes===
Sometimes an explanatory footnote requires a citation. There are several acceptable solutions.
It is currently disputed (June 2026) whether parenthetical referencing (or narrative referencing, i.e. in-text attribution serving as referencing) is deprecated inside {{tag|ref}} tags used for explanatory footnotes.
Citations using {{tl1|sfn}} can't be directly embedded between {{tag|ref}} tags, because the following message will be produced: {{small|{{error|Cite error references missing group||nocat=true}}}}. But {{tl1|sfn}} can be used with templates {{tl1|efn}} and {{tl1|notelist}}, which separates the explanatory footnotes from the short citations, as shown in this example. (See also [[Chinese Room]], which is an article that makes extensive use of this technique.)

===Adding a URL for the page or location===
If a specific link to the page or section is available, a [[Uniform Resource Locator|URL]] can be added to the location or page number.
{{markup

}}}}
(See [[#url weirdness|below]] for a potential issue with this technique.)
===In text attribution===
{{see also|Wikipedia:Citing sources#In-text attribution}}
Per [[WP:PAREN]], a certain style of short citations using parentheses, placed ''within the article text itself'', is deprecated on Wikipedia. Several examples were raised and discussed during the [[Special:PermanentLink/976895063#Deprecate parenthetical citations|September 2020 request for comments]]. To summarize the consensus reached there:
{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Example !! Consensus
|-
| {{no| The Sun is pretty big. (Miller 2005, p. 1)}} || Formally deprecated; replace with "The Sun is pretty big.{{dummy reference}}"
|-
| {{maybe| The paper by Eek (2020) showed...{{dummy reference}}}} || Wordy, but may be valid as in-text attribution; use "Eek showed...{{dummy reference}}" instead
|-
| {{no| Eek (p. 35) showed...}} || Formally deprecated; use "Eek showed...{{dummy reference}}" instead
|-
| {{maybe| In 2020, Pelagic et al. found that...{{dummy reference}}}} || Wordy, but may be valid as in-text attribution.
|-
| {{no| {{fake link|Smith (2008)}} argued...}} || Formally deprecated; see the following for a non-deprecated alternative
|-
| {{maybe| Smith (2008) argued...{{dummy reference}}}} || May be valid as in-text attribution in contexts where both year and author are encyclopedic information; consider rewriting as "Smith, in 2008, argued...{{dummy reference}}"
|-
| {{yes| Smith argued...{{dummy reference}}}} || Standard non-deprecated format
|}
===Bundled citations===
{{see also|Help:Citation merging |Wikipedia:Citing sources#Bundling citations}}
Template {{tl2|harvnb}} (with <nowiki><ref></nowiki> tags) or {{tl2|sfnm}} can be used to [[WP:CITE#Bundling citations|bundle citations]].

}}
===Multiple lists of inline citations===
Sometimes there is a need to create two or more separate lists of inline footnotes. For example some family trees are contained in templates, they are transluded into several biographies, and they have their own self contained citations (see [[Template:Houston family tree]] and the article [[Margaret Lea Houston]]).
To facilitate this, while the main page uses the standard 1,2,3 footnote counting, it is common for family trees to use the efn template with a group parameter set—for example {{tlx|efn-lg}} (lower-greek). The efn templates are text templates, to link some or all of the content of the efn template to a long citation template such as {{tlx|cite book}} place {{tlx|harvnb}} or {{tlx|harv}} within the efn template.

{{anchor|Ps problems}}
== Other parameters ==
These parameters were designed to handle special cases that are better handled by other techniques.
===Parameter {{para|ps}}===
These templates have a parameter {{para|ps}}, designed to hold quotes and explanations.
Two or more {{tlc|sfn}} templates with the same authors, same year, and same page, but different {{para|ps}} will result in a {{small|{{error|Cite error: The named reference ... was defined multiple times with different content}}}} message. This message happens because the reference names that {{tlc|sfn}} creates will be the same, but the content between the {{tag|ref|params=name="FOOTNOTE..."|o}} tag and the {{tag|ref|c}} tag will be different.
A workaround is to convert the offending {{tlc|sfn}} templates to {{tlx|harvnb}} wrapped in {{tag|ref}} tags, as recommended in [[#Additional comments or quotes|§ Adding additional comments or quotes]]. This method is more versatile and robust.
Template {{para|ps}} also has a second (rare) use, when setting {{para|ps|none}}, which suppressed the final period. See [[#Variations in the format of the author-date citation|§ Variations in the format of the author-date citation]].
===Parameter {{para|ref}}===
The optional parameter {{para|ref}} was used to create an unusually named link from the short citation to the full citation. This typically would require setting the hand coded link on the full citation as well. It's easier to only set the link of the full citation to {{para|ref|{{tl2|sfnref}}}}.
If you specify {{para|ref|none}}, no hyperlink is created. However, if one does not want the link, it is always possible to simply use plain text instead of the template.
The parameter only appears in <nowiki>{{harv*}}</nowiki> templates, and may still appear in a few articles.
==Open problems==
===Link works but displays a no target error===
When a short-cite template links to a full citation that is rendered by a template that wraps a CS1 template, like {{txl|cite DNB}} (which wraps {{txl|cite encyclopedia}}), a {{error-small|no target}} error may be displayed even when the short-cite template is valid and the link works. That is a "false positive" error. The error message can be suppressed by adding {{para|ignore-err|yes}} to the template, or by adding the template {{t|Sfn whitelist}} with the anchor ID(s) to the article. If you are testing changes in [[Special:ExpandTemplates]] and the error message cannot be suppressed, try testing in a sandbox or user subpage instead.
==={{ucfirst:sfn}} embedded in list-defined ref does not work===
If you [[Help:Footnotes#embedding references|embed]] an {{ucfirst:sfn}} 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}}.
==Implementation notes==
These templates use two elements: a [[wikilink]] in the body of the article, and an [[WP:ANCHOR DEF|anchor]] in the reference section of the article. Clicking on the wikilink repositions the page at the anchor.
===Citation template [[HTML element#Links and anchors|anchor]]===
{{See also|Wikipedia:Citation templates and reference anchors}}
The most common citation templates are {{cs1}} or {{cs2}}. By default, [[Module:Citation/CS1]] creates an [[HTML element#Links and anchors|anchor]] {{tag|a|o|params=name="CITEREF"}} followed by the concatenation of the following parameters:
* '''last''' or '''last1''' or '''surname''' or '''surname1''' or '''author-last''' or '''author-last1''' or '''author1-last''' or '''author-surname''' or '''author-surname1''' or '''author1-surname''' or '''author''' or '''author1''' or '''authors''',
* '''last2''' or '''surname2''' or '''author-last2''' or '''author2-last''' or '''author-surname2''' or '''author2-surname''' or '''author2''',
* '''last3''' or '''surname3''' or '''author-last3''' or '''author3-last''' or '''author-surname3''' or '''author3-surname''' or '''author3''',
* '''last4''' or '''surname4''' or '''author-last4''' or '''author4-last''' or '''author-surname4''' or '''author4-surname''' or '''author4''',
* '''editor-last''' or '''editor-last1''' or '''editor1-last''' or '''editor-surname''' or '''editor-surname1''' or '''editor1-surname''' or '''editor1''' or '''editor''',
* '''editor-last2''' or '''editor2-last''' or '''editor-surname2''' or '''editor2-surname''' or '''editor2''',
* '''editor-last3''' or '''editor3-last''' or '''editor-surname3''' or '''editor3-surname''' or '''editor3''',
* '''editor-last4''' or '''editor4-last''' or '''editor-surname4''' or '''editor4-surname''' or '''editor4''',
* '''date''', '''year'''
This covers the most common templates. Information about all of the templates is available at [[Wikipedia:Citation templates and reference anchors]].
Use of the '''date''' parameter in place of the '''year''' parameter in citation templates is preferred.
===Harvard citation wikilink===
The Harvard citation templates create a [[wikilink]] to the anchor. For example {{tlx|Harv|Smith|2006|4=p=25}} produces the link {{code|#CITEREFSmith2006}} and {{tlx|Citation|2=last=Smith|3=first=John|4=date=27 January 2006|5=title=My Life}} produces the anchor {{code|CITEREFSmith2006}}.
===Using CITEREF directly===
{{Shortcut|WP:CITEREF}}
A few articles create a custom ID using {{code|CITEREF}}, either in place of the Harvard citation template (e.g. <code><nowiki>[[#CITEREFSmith2006|(2006)]]</nowiki></code>) or as a value for {{para|ref}} in the citation template.
{{Refname rules|A custom ID must follow these rules:|
* If CITEREF is used, then spaces in the {{para|ref}} field must be replaced with underscores}}
Examples:
* {{tlx|sfn|{{var|cite name}}|{{var|year}}}}
* {{tlx|cite book|2=ref=CITEREF{{var|cite_nameyear}}}}
* {{tlx|cite book|2=ref={{tl|sfnref|{{var|cite_name}}|{{var|year}}}}}}
Where {{var|cite_name}} is a name such as the publisher.
To avoid the sometimes difficult to remember syntax for links to CITEREF anchors, {{tl|citeref}} can be used to create internal wikilinks with either small superscript-style labels (like this<sup>[n]</sup>) or plain free-text labels to such anchors. It can be used inside of other citations.
Note that the {{code|CITEREF}} prefix is necessary for the [[mw:Reference Tooltips|reference tooltips gadget]] ([[MediaWiki:Gadget-ReferenceTooltips.js]]) to detect that a link goes to a citation.
===[[Template:sfn|<code><nowiki>{{sfn}}</nowiki></code>]]'s [[WP:REFNAME|ref name]]===
Template {{tl2|sfn}} creates a [[WP:REFNAME|named footnote]], so that identical footnotes are combined automatically. The footnote name begins with {{code|FOOTNOTE}} followed by a concatenation of the arguments to {{tl2|sfn}}. E.g.: this template call {{tlx|sfn|Smith|2006|4=p=26}} should have exactly the same functionality as {{tag|ref|params=name="FOOTNOTESmith200626"|content={{tl|Harvnb|Smith|2006|4=p=26}}.}} which, in turn, has the same functionality as {{tag|ref|params=name="FOOTNOTESmith200626"|content=<nowiki>[[#CITEREFSmith2006|Smith (2006)]], p.&nbsp;26.</nowiki>}}.
{{anchor|url weirdness}}
The ref name becomes more complicated when the page (p) parameter includes a URL, e.g. {{tlg|sfn|Joyce|1903|p{{=}}[https://archive.org/details/aconcisehistory00joycgoog/page/n226 213]|code=on}}, which, once defined, can be called by {{tag|ref|empty|params=name="FOOTNOTEJoyce1903[httpsarchiveorgdetailsaconcisehistory00joycgoogpagen226 213]"}}. The "p=" and the characters |,:,.,/,?,=; are therefore stripped out of the URL. The content of the loc parameter is similarly appended after this.
The call to {{tl2|harvnb}} has been [[subst]]'ed for quicker load times.
{{Fake header|Anchors for some examples}}

{{Lua|Module:Footnotes|Module:Check for unknown parameters}}
The '''shortened footnote template''' {{tl|sfn}} creates a short [[WP:Citing sources#Short citations|author–date citation]] in a [[Wikipedia:Citing sources|footnote]], with a one-directional link to the first matching [[Wikipedia:Citation templates|citation template]] on the same page. It will combine identical footnotes automatically.
It is used to create {{sfnote|lc=y}}, a [[WP:CITESTYLE|citation style]] which pairs a short, author-date citation in a footnote with a [[WP:HOWCITE|complete citation]] in the references section at the end of the article (see example [[#Example|below]]). This citation style is used to simplify multiple citations to the same source and to reduce clutter in the edit window.
Common problems and known workarounds are given in the sections below. Use the table of contents to find what you need.
Note that the use (or even non-use) of these templates is an element of citation "style", and adding or removing them in articles with an established style should be consistent with that style. See [[WP:CITEVAR]].
==Usage==
'''Sfn''' generates an "author-date" style short-cite from the following parameters:
<div style="margin-left: 2em"><code>{{<nowiki>sfn</nowiki>| <{{var|last1}}*> | <{{var|last2}}> | <{{var|last3}}> | <{{var|last4}}> | <{{var|year}}*> | p= <{{var|page}}> | loc= <{{var|location}}> }}</code></div>
with
* <{{var|last1}}> – required; surname of first author or corporate author
* <{{var|last2}}>–<{{var|last4}}> – positional parameters; surnames of next three authors; required if available in the full citation
* <{{var|year}}> – required; four-digit year; may have a lowercase disambiguation letter, like {{pval|2012a}}
* {{para|p}} – specific page referenced in the source (alias: {{para|page}}{{hairspace}})
* {{para|pp}} – comma-separated list of [[Template:Csdoc#pages|individual pages and / or range(s) of pages]] referenced in the source (alias: {{para|pages}}{{hairspace}})
* {{para|loc}} – in-source location when {{para|p}} and {{para|pp}} are inappropriate; may be used to supplement {{para|p}} and {{para|pp}}; information such as a section or figure number. (alias: {{para|at}}{{hairspace}})
=== Example ===
Typical usage is shown in the example below. The text and the footnote are connected by a bi-directional link – clicking on the superscript takes the reader to the footnote, clicking on the footnote number takes them back to the superscript. The clicking on the short citation takes them to the full citation in the references section.
'''Sfn''' will also automatically combine identical footnotes.

Template '''sfn''' is not placed inside {{tag|ref}} tags and generates the footnote internally. (To place '''sfn''' in a footnote, see [[#A citation inside an explanatory footnote|putting a citation inside a footnote]], below.)
===Parameters===
====Author(s) and year====
The first four author surnames (or all authors if fewer than four; use the values from {{para|last''N''}} or {{para|author''N''}}{{hairspace}}) are required, followed by the year of publication (from {{para|year}} or {{para|date}}). Authors past the fourth must be omitted or an error will result.
The [[#Possible issues with author-date link|possible issues]] section below describes workarounds for various common problems, such as [[#Large number of authors|large number of authors]], [[#No author name in citation template|no author name]], [[#More than one work in a year|multiple works in the same year]], [[#Two sources with same last names and years|Two sources with same last names and years]] and others.

==Possible issues with author-date link==
{{for|information on how to turn on error messages for broken links|:Category:Harv and Sfn template errors}}
These are techniques that address various unusual difficulties with the link between the short citation and the full citation.
===Custom anchors===
A custom anchor using {{tl|sfnref}} can, at least temporarily, always make the shortened footnote look exactly the way you would like and still have a link that works. Many of the problems and workarounds below require a custom anchor.
All CS1 citation templates and several other templates allow you to set a custom anchor with parameter {{para|ref}}. The template {{tl|sfnRef}} creates an anchor that will match {{tl|sfn}}'s if it has the same parameters as {{tl|sfn}}. To use this technique, choose the name and year you would like to appear in {{tl|sfn}}, copy these parameters into {{tl|sfnRef}} and set {{tl|ref}} to the {{tl|sfnRef}}.
In other words, if you want this:
* {{tl2|sfn|<*''name you want''>|<''year''>|<''page / location''>}}
then set this:
* {{para|ref|{{tl2|sfnRef|<''name you want''>|<''year''>}}}}
in the template, and the link should work correctly.
The parameters must be <em>identical</em> in every respect. If the year is unusual (i.e. not a number), then include the year in the name and don't use the year position.
===Large number of authors===
If there are more than four authors, the first four authors' surnames (the value in {{para|last}} or {{para|author}}) are required by the template. Listing more authors is not supported. It is also possible to use a [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]] that sets the name field to "Smith et. al.".

}}}}
===More than one work in a year===
Where there is a need to cite more than one work ''by the same author published in the same year'', the standard way to disambiguate such works is to add a letter suffix after the year, e.g. "Smith 2006a" and "Smith 2006b".
Set the year element of the {{tlc|sfn}} templates (e.g. {{tlc|sfn|Smith|2006a}} and {{tlc|sfn|Smith|2006a}}), and add the disambiguation letter to the matching full citation, (e.g. <code><nowiki>{{cite book|...|last=Smith|date=2006b}}</nowiki></code>).
When {{tlc|sfn}} is used with {{tlx|citation}} or {{cs1}} templates, a year-suffix letter may be added to {{para|date}} for all accepted date formats except year-initial numeric ({{small|YYYY-MM-DD}}). It is not necessary to include both {{para|date}} and {{para|year}} (see exception [[#NB_YEAR|below]]). If both are included, {{para|year}} is used for the <code>CITEREF</code> anchor to be compliant with legacy citations.
:{{para|date|2013a}}: simple year only dates
:{{para|date|Jan 2013b}} or {{para|date|Winter 2013b}}: month or season and year dates
:{{para|date|9 November 2013b}} or {{para|date|November 9, 2013b}}: full dates
:{{para|date|June–July 2013c}} or {{para|date|Winter–Spring 2013c}}: month or season ranges and year dates
:{{para|date|c. 2013d}}: circa year dates
:{{para|date|{{#time:Y}}–{{#time:Y|now +1 year}}e}} or {{para|date|Summer {{#time:Y}}–{{#time:y|now +1 year}}e}}: year ranges
:{{para|date|n.d.f}}: no date (n.d.)
:{{anchor|NB_YEAR}}<s>{{para|date|2013g-11-09}}</s>: not supported, the template must use {{para|year|2013g}}. If month and day should be part of the citation as well, both parameters need to be given: {{para|date|2013-11-09}} {{para|year|2013x}}. In this case, {{para|date}} is used for citation display and metadata purposes, and {{para|year}} for link disambiguation.

===Two sources with same last names and years ===
An article might cite works from the same year by two different authors with the same last name. For example, an article might cite psychoanalysts [[Anna Freud]] and [[Sigmund Freud]], who both wrote books in the same year.
There are two solutions: it's possible to use the same technique described in the previous section. To differentiate between the two books, the first one can be given the year "1928a" and the second one "1928b".
Or, you can create a [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]] that adds an initial to the name fields, e.g. "A. Freud" and "S. Freud". The links will no longer conflict.

===Citation template has no author name===
Some sources do not have a single author with a last name, such as a magazine article or a report from a government institution. There is no consensus (in Wikipedia or among citation styles) about how to format author–date citations for works that do not have a specific author. Several choices are:
# The title of the article, or a shortened form of the title, is recommended by some style guides.
# For a newspaper or periodical, you may use the name of the paper and the date.
# For a publication by an institution, use either:
## The initials of the institution
## The name of the institution
# Other style guides recommend using "Anonymous" or "Anon."
An article should adopt one of these styles consistently.
Use a [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]] to replace set the author name to one of these other choices, as shown in these examples below.

===Citation template has no year but has a date===
Either the {{para|date}} or {{para|year}} of a citation template can be matched—the template logic can extract the year from a full date. If the date parameter is not a full date, then the extraction will fail. If the link does not seem to work, it also possible to set both {{para|date}} and {{para|year}} parameters. The template will display the date and use the year for the anchor. These two examples show a year being successfully extracted from full date.

===Citation template has no date===
If the cited source does not have a date, you can use {{para|date|n.d.}} for the full citation and "n.d." in place of the date for the short citation:
{{markup
|<nowiki>This is a fact.{{sfn|Smith|n.d.}}
==Notes==
{{reflist}}
==References==
* {{Citation |last=Smith |title=Title |date=n.d. |publisher=Publisher |mode=cs1}}</nowiki>
|This is a fact.{{sfn|Smith|n.d.}}
{{fake heading|sub=3|Notes}}
{{reflist}}
{{fake heading|sub=3|References}}
* {{Citation |last=Smith |title=Title |date=n.d. |publisher=Publisher |mode=cs1}}
}}
=== Citation template has no author, date or title ===
If the cited source does not have a date, author, or title, place a description of the source within brackets for the {{para|title}} parameter, use {{para|date|n.d.}} and create [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]] with the description in the name position and "n.d." in the year.
{{markup
|<nowiki>This is a fact.{{sfn|[Description]|n.d.}}
==Notes==
{{reflist}}
==References==
* {{Citation |title=[Description] |date=n.d. |publisher=Publisher |mode=cs1 |ref={{sfnref|[Description]|n.d.}} }}</nowiki>
|This is a fact.{{sfn|[Description]|n.d.}}
{{fake heading|sub=3|Notes}}
{{reflist}}
{{fake heading|sub=3|References}}
* {{Citation |title=[Description] |date=n.d. |publisher=Publisher |mode=cs1 |ref={{sfnref|[Description]|n.d.}} }}
}}
===Citation template doesn't create a compatible anchor===
{{See also|[[Wikipedia:Citation templates and reference anchors]])}}
Some templates, such as {{tl|cite comic}} template use the parameter {{para|ref}} to create an anchor for the short citation. This can be used to set a [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]] for {{tl|sfn}}
{{markup
|<nowiki>Article text.{{sfn|Morrison|1987}}
==Notes==
{{reflist}}
==References==
* {{cite comic
|writer=Morrison, Grant
|artist=Yeowell, Steve
|title=2000 AD
|date=August 15, 1987
|publisher=[[Fleetway]]
|ref={{sfnref|Morrison|1987}}
}}</nowiki>

You could also use CITEREF directly with a concatenation of <code>#CITEREF</code> plus the parameters passed to the Harvard citation template.
===Citation format does not support any kind of anchor===
{{See also|[[Wikipedia:Citation templates and reference anchors]])}}
If the citation is handwritten you should consider the citation format of the article. If citation templates are acceptable here, then try to find one that works for this template. If no template can be found, then this may be a source which can't be represented in our citation templates.
There are also a few templates that do not support any kind of anchor.
For both of these rare cases it is possible to use {{tl2|wikicite}}. It has a {{para|ref}} parameter which can be set to a [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]] that seems appropriate.

===Wikilink to citation does not work===
If an article is using this template, and nothing happens when you click on the highlighted [[wikilink]] from a [[WP:SHORTCITE|short citation]] using a template to a [[WP:SHORTCITE|full citation]] at the bottom of the page, there are several possible solutions. If:
# Templates like this one are rarely used in this article. '''Solution''': Remove this template and format the citation in the style used most often in the article.
# The correct full citation does ''not'' appear at the bottom of the article. '''Solution''': Find the source (it may be copied from an article on a similar subject), and check that it verifies the text. If the source can't be found, replace this template with {{tl2|citation not found}}.
# The correct full citation appears at the bottom of the article, and
## The full citation uses a template from the list at [[Help:Citation Style 1|Citation Style 1]]:
### The name in the short citation is spelled or capitalized differently than in the full citation. '''Solution''': Check the source for the correct spelling, and use the same spelling, spacing, and capitalization in both the short and full citations.
### The template does not have an author's or an editor's, last name (authors take precedence over editors). '''Solution''': See [[#No author name in citation template|§No author name in citation template]], above.
### There is more than one full citation with the same last name(s) and year. '''Solution''': See [[#More than one work in a year|§More than one work in a year]].
### The year is different here than the full citation. '''Solution''': Check the source for the correct year, and use the same year in both the short and full citations.
### The template has a {{para|date}} field and no {{para|year}} field, but the format of the {{para|date}} field is unusual. '''Solution''': Try to fix the date. If the link still does not work, add {{para|year}} to the citation template. (It's okay if it has both.)
### The template does not have a year, or the year is set to "n.d." (no date). '''Solution''': Set the date field of this template to "n.d.".
##The citation template doesn't automatically create the anchor, but has {{para|ref}}. '''Solution''': See [[#Citation template doesn't automatically create the anchor|§Citation template doesn't automatically create the anchor]], above.
##The citation template doesn't support anchors at all. '''Solution''': See [[#Citation format does not support any kind of anchor|§Citation format does not support any kind of anchor]], above.
##The full citation is handwritten.
### There are no other citation templates in the article. This is probably because local editors prefer it that way. '''Solution''': You should adapt to the style of the article. This would probably entail removing this template and formatting the short citation in plain text or replacing it with a full citation in {{tag|ref}} tags.
### There are citation templates used liberally throughout the article. '''Solution''': Reformat the source with the appropriate {{cite *}} template (and set the {{para|ref}} appropriately, if necessary).
### The full citation is handwritten because the source can't be represented by our citation templates at all. '''Solution''': See [[#Citation format does not support any kind of anchor|§Citation format does not support any kind of anchor]], above.
Templates that have broken [[wikilink]]s using these templates are added to the category {{cat|All articles with broken links to citations}}.
== Techniques and variations ==
{{anchor|Additional comments or quotes}}
=== Adding additional comments or quotes ===
The templates {{tl2|harvnb}} or {{tl2|harvtxt}} can be used to add quotes or additional comments into the footnote, in the form of in-text attributions.
{{markup
|<nowiki>
Some information.<ref>{{harvnb|Smith|2011|p=2}}: "A quote verifying the information."</ref>
== Notes ==
{{reflist}}
</nowiki>|

}}
===Citations inside explanatory footnotes===
Sometimes an explanatory footnote requires a citation. There are several acceptable solutions.
It is currently disputed (June 2026) whether parenthetical referencing (or narrative referencing, i.e. in-text attribution serving as referencing) is deprecated inside {{tag|ref}} tags used for explanatory footnotes.
Citations using {{tl1|sfn}} can't be directly embedded between {{tag|ref}} tags, because the following message will be produced: {{small|{{error|Cite error references missing group||nocat=true}}}}. But {{tl1|sfn}} can be used with templates {{tl1|efn}} and {{tl1|notelist}}, which separates the explanatory footnotes from the short citations, as shown in this example. (See also [[Chinese Room]], which is an article that makes extensive use of this technique.)

===Adding a URL for the page or location===
If a specific link to the page or section is available, a [[Uniform Resource Locator|URL]] can be added to the location or page number.
{{markup

===Multiple lists of inline citations===
Sometimes there is a need to create two or more separate lists of inline footnotes. For example some family trees are contained in templates, they are transluded into several biographies, and they have their own self contained citations (see [[Template:Houston family tree]] and the article [[Margaret Lea Houston]]).
To facilitate this, while the main page uses the standard 1,2,3 footnote counting, it is common for family trees to use the efn template with a group parameter set—for example {{tlx|efn-lg}} (lower-greek). The efn templates are text templates, to link some or all of the content of the efn template to a long citation template such as {{tlx|cite book}} place {{tlx|harvnb}} or {{tlx|harv}} within the efn template.

{{anchor|Ps problems}}
== Other parameters ==
These parameters were designed to handle special cases that are better handled by other techniques.
===Parameter {{para|ps}}===
These templates have a parameter {{para|ps}}, designed to hold quotes and explanations.
Two or more {{tlc|sfn}} templates with the same authors, same year, and same page, but different {{para|ps}} will result in a {{small|{{error|Cite error: The named reference ... was defined multiple times with different content}}}} message. This message happens because the reference names that {{tlc|sfn}} creates will be the same, but the content between the {{tag|ref|params=name="FOOTNOTE..."|o}} tag and the {{tag|ref|c}} tag will be different.
A workaround is to convert the offending {{tlc|sfn}} templates to {{tlx|harvnb}} wrapped in {{tag|ref}} tags, as recommended in [[#Additional comments or quotes|§ Adding additional comments or quotes]]. This method is more versatile and robust.
Template {{para|ps}} also has a second (rare) use, when setting {{para|ps|none}}, which suppressed the final period. See [[#Variations in the format of the author-date citation|§ Variations in the format of the author-date citation]].
===Parameter {{para|ref}}===
The optional parameter {{para|ref}} was used to create an unusually named link from the short citation to the full citation. This typically would require setting the hand coded link on the full citation as well. It's easier to only set the link of the full citation to {{para|ref|{{tl2|sfnref}}}}.
If you specify {{para|ref|none}}, no hyperlink is created. However, if one does not want the link, it is always possible to simply use plain text instead of the template.
The parameter only appears in <nowiki>{{harv*}}</nowiki> templates, and may still appear in a few articles.
==Open problems==
===Link works but displays a no target error===
When a short-cite template links to a full citation that is rendered by a template that wraps a CS1 template, like {{txl|cite DNB}} (which wraps {{txl|cite encyclopedia}}), a {{error-small|no target}} error may be displayed even when the short-cite template is valid and the link works. That is a "false positive" error. The error message can be suppressed by adding {{para|ignore-err|yes}} to the template, or by adding the template {{t|Sfn whitelist}} with the anchor ID(s) to the article. If you are testing changes in [[Special:ExpandTemplates]] and the error message cannot be suppressed, try testing in a sandbox or user subpage instead.
==={{ucfirst:sfn}} embedded in list-defined ref does not work===
If you [[Help:Footnotes#embedding references|embed]] an {{ucfirst:sfn}} 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:

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}}.
==Implementation notes==
These templates use two elements: a [[wikilink]] in the body of the article, and an [[WP:ANCHOR DEF|anchor]] in the reference section of the article. Clicking on the wikilink repositions the page at the anchor.
===Citation template [[HTML element#Links and anchors|anchor]]===
{{See also|Wikipedia:Citation templates and reference anchors}}
The most common citation templates are {{cs1}} or {{cs2}}. By default, [[Module:Citation/CS1]] creates an [[HTML element#Links and anchors|anchor]] {{tag|a|o|params=name="CITEREF"}} followed by the concatenation of the following parameters:
* '''last''' or '''last1''' or '''surname''' or '''surname1''' or '''author-last''' or '''author-last1''' or '''author1-last''' or '''author-surname''' or '''author-surname1''' or '''author1-surname''' or '''author''' or '''author1''' or '''authors''',
* '''last2''' or '''surname2''' or '''author-last2''' or '''author2-last''' or '''author-surname2''' or '''author2-surname''' or '''author2''',
* '''last3''' or '''surname3''' or '''author-last3''' or '''author3-last''' or '''author-surname3''' or '''author3-surname''' or '''author3''',
* '''last4''' or '''surname4''' or '''author-last4''' or '''author4-last''' or '''author-surname4''' or '''author4-surname''' or '''author4''',
* '''editor-last''' or '''editor-last1''' or '''editor1-last''' or '''editor-surname''' or '''editor-surname1''' or '''editor1-surname''' or '''editor1''' or '''editor''',
* '''editor-last2''' or '''editor2-last''' or '''editor-surname2''' or '''editor2-surname''' or '''editor2''',
* '''editor-last3''' or '''editor3-last''' or '''editor-surname3''' or '''editor3-surname''' or '''editor3''',
* '''editor-last4''' or '''editor4-last''' or '''editor-surname4''' or '''editor4-surname''' or '''editor4''',
* '''date''', '''year'''
This covers the most common templates. Information about all of the templates is available at [[Wikipedia:Citation templates and reference anchors]].
Use of the '''date''' parameter in place of the '''year''' parameter in citation templates is preferred.
===Harvard citation wikilink===
The Harvard citation templates create a [[wikilink]] to the anchor. For example {{tlx|Harv|Smith|2006|4=p=25}} produces the link {{code|#CITEREFSmith2006}} and {{tlx|Citation|2=last=Smith|3=first=John|4=date=27 January 2006|5=title=My Life}} produces the anchor {{code|CITEREFSmith2006}}.
===Using CITEREF directly===
{{Shortcut|WP:CITEREF}}
A few articles create a custom ID using {{code|CITEREF}}, either in place of the Harvard citation template (e.g. <code><nowiki>[[#CITEREFSmith2006|(2006)]]</nowiki></code>) or as a value for {{para|ref}} in the citation template.
{{Refname rules|A custom ID must follow these rules:|
* If CITEREF is used, then spaces in the {{para|ref}} field must be replaced with underscores}}
Examples:
* {{tlx|sfn|{{var|cite name}}|{{var|year}}}}
* {{tlx|cite book|2=ref=CITEREF{{var|cite_nameyear}}}}
* {{tlx|cite book|2=ref={{tl|sfnref|{{var|cite_name}}|{{var|year}}}}}}
Where {{var|cite_name}} is a name such as the publisher.
To avoid the sometimes difficult to remember syntax for links to CITEREF anchors, {{tl|citeref}} can be used to create internal wikilinks with either small superscript-style labels (like this<sup>[n]</sup>) or plain free-text labels to such anchors. It can be used inside of other citations.
Note that the {{code|CITEREF}} prefix is necessary for the [[mw:Reference Tooltips|reference tooltips gadget]] ([[MediaWiki:Gadget-ReferenceTooltips.js]]) to detect that a link goes to a citation.
===[[Template:sfn|<code><nowiki>{{sfn}}</nowiki></code>]]'s [[WP:REFNAME|ref name]]===
Template {{tl2|sfn}} creates a [[WP:REFNAME|named footnote]], so that identical footnotes are combined automatically. The footnote name begins with {{code|FOOTNOTE}} followed by a concatenation of the arguments to {{tl2|sfn}}. E.g.: this template call {{tlx|sfn|Smith|2006|4=p=26}} should have exactly the same functionality as {{tag|ref|params=name="FOOTNOTESmith200626"|content={{tl|Harvnb|Smith|2006|4=p=26}}.}} which, in turn, has the same functionality as {{tag|ref|params=name="FOOTNOTESmith200626"|content=<nowiki>[[#CITEREFSmith2006|Smith (2006)]], p.&nbsp;26.</nowiki>}}.
{{anchor|url weirdness}}
The ref name becomes more complicated when the page (p) parameter includes a URL, e.g. {{tlg|sfn|Joyce|1903|p{{=}}[https://archive.org/details/aconcisehistory00joycgoog/page/n226 213]|code=on}}, which, once defined, can be called by {{tag|ref|empty|params=name="FOOTNOTEJoyce1903[httpsarchiveorgdetailsaconcisehistory00joycgoogpagen226 213]"}}. The "p=" and the characters |,:,.,/,?,=; are therefore stripped out of the URL. The content of the loc parameter is similarly appended after this.
The call to {{tl2|harvnb}} has been [[subst]]'ed for quicker load times.
{{Fake header|Anchors for some examples}}
Some of the examples need an anchor here so they don't display an error message. Press the back button on your browser to return to the example you were reading.
*{{cite book|last1=Smith|date=1994|title=Book by Smith}}
*{{cite book|last1=Smith|last2=Jones|date=1994|title=Book by Smith and Jones}}

{{Lua|Module:Footnotes|Module:Check for unknown parameters}}
The '''shortened footnote template''' {{tl|sfn}} creates a short [[WP:Citing sources#Short citations|author–date citation]] in a [[Wikipedia:Citing sources|footnote]], with a one-directional link to the first matching [[Wikipedia:Citation templates|citation template]] on the same page. It will combine identical footnotes automatically.
It is used to create {{sfnote|lc=y}}, a [[WP:CITESTYLE|citation style]] which pairs a short, author-date citation in a footnote with a [[WP:HOWCITE|complete citation]] in the references section at the end of the article (see example [[#Example|below]]). This citation style is used to simplify multiple citations to the same source and to reduce clutter in the edit window.
Common problems and known workarounds are given in the sections below. Use the table of contents to find what you need.
Note that the use (or even non-use) of these templates is an element of citation "style", and adding or removing them in articles with an established style should be consistent with that style. See [[WP:CITEVAR]].
==Usage==
'''Sfn''' generates an "author-date" style short-cite from the following parameters:
<div style="margin-left: 2em"><code>{{<nowiki>sfn</nowiki>| <{{var|last1}}*> | <{{var|last2}}> | <{{var|last3}}> | <{{var|last4}}> | <{{var|year}}*> | p= <{{var|page}}> | loc= <{{var|location}}> }}</code></div>
with
* <{{var|last1}}> – required; surname of first author or corporate author
* <{{var|last2}}>–<{{var|last4}}> – positional parameters; surnames of next three authors; required if available in the full citation
* <{{var|year}}> – required; four-digit year; may have a lowercase disambiguation letter, like {{pval|2012a}}
* {{para|p}} – specific page referenced in the source (alias: {{para|page}}{{hairspace}})
* {{para|pp}} – comma-separated list of [[Template:Csdoc#pages|individual pages and / or range(s) of pages]] referenced in the source (alias: {{para|pages}}{{hairspace}})
* {{para|loc}} – in-source location when {{para|p}} and {{para|pp}} are inappropriate; may be used to supplement {{para|p}} and {{para|pp}}; information such as a section or figure number. (alias: {{para|at}}{{hairspace}})
=== Example ===
Typical usage is shown in the example below. The text and the footnote are connected by a bi-directional link – clicking on the superscript takes the reader to the footnote, clicking on the footnote number takes them back to the superscript. The clicking on the short citation takes them to the full citation in the references section.
'''Sfn''' will also automatically combine identical footnotes.

Template '''sfn''' is not placed inside {{tag|ref}} tags and generates the footnote internally. (To place '''sfn''' in a footnote, see [[#A citation inside an explanatory footnote|putting a citation inside a footnote]], below.)
===Parameters===
====Author(s) and year====
The first four author surnames (or all authors if fewer than four; use the values from {{para|last''N''}} or {{para|author''N''}}{{hairspace}}) are required, followed by the year of publication (from {{para|year}} or {{para|date}}). Authors past the fourth must be omitted or an error will result.
The [[#Possible issues with author-date link|possible issues]] section below describes workarounds for various common problems, such as [[#Large number of authors|large number of authors]], [[#No author name in citation template|no author name]], [[#More than one work in a year|multiple works in the same year]], [[#Two sources with same last names and years|Two sources with same last names and years]] and others.

{{para|loc}} can be used to specify a location in the source in another way, such as section numbers or chapters. It can also be combined with {{para|p}} or {{para|pp}}.

==Possible issues with author-date link==
{{for|information on how to turn on error messages for broken links|:Category:Harv and Sfn template errors}}
These are techniques that address various unusual difficulties with the link between the short citation and the full citation.
===Custom anchors===
A custom anchor using {{tl|sfnref}} can, at least temporarily, always make the shortened footnote look exactly the way you would like and still have a link that works. Many of the problems and workarounds below require a custom anchor.
All CS1 citation templates and several other templates allow you to set a custom anchor with parameter {{para|ref}}. The template {{tl|sfnRef}} creates an anchor that will match {{tl|sfn}}'s if it has the same parameters as {{tl|sfn}}. To use this technique, choose the name and year you would like to appear in {{tl|sfn}}, copy these parameters into {{tl|sfnRef}} and set {{tl|ref}} to the {{tl|sfnRef}}.
In other words, if you want this:
* {{tl2|sfn|<*''name you want''>|<''year''>|<''page / location''>}}
then set this:
* {{para|ref|{{tl2|sfnRef|<''name you want''>|<''year''>}}}}
in the template, and the link should work correctly.
The parameters must be <em>identical</em> in every respect. If the year is unusual (i.e. not a number), then include the year in the name and don't use the year position.
===Large number of authors===
If there are more than four authors, the first four authors' surnames (the value in {{para|last}} or {{para|author}}) are required by the template. Listing more authors is not supported. It is also possible to use a [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]] that sets the name field to "Smith et. al.".

}}}}
===More than one work in a year===
Where there is a need to cite more than one work ''by the same author published in the same year'', the standard way to disambiguate such works is to add a letter suffix after the year, e.g. "Smith 2006a" and "Smith 2006b".
Set the year element of the {{tlc|sfn}} templates (e.g. {{tlc|sfn|Smith|2006a}} and {{tlc|sfn|Smith|2006a}}), and add the disambiguation letter to the matching full citation, (e.g. <code><nowiki>{{cite book|...|last=Smith|date=2006b}}</nowiki></code>).
When {{tlc|sfn}} is used with {{tlx|citation}} or {{cs1}} templates, a year-suffix letter may be added to {{para|date}} for all accepted date formats except year-initial numeric ({{small|YYYY-MM-DD}}). It is not necessary to include both {{para|date}} and {{para|year}} (see exception [[#NB_YEAR|below]]). If both are included, {{para|year}} is used for the <code>CITEREF</code> anchor to be compliant with legacy citations.
:{{para|date|2013a}}: simple year only dates
:{{para|date|Jan 2013b}} or {{para|date|Winter 2013b}}: month or season and year dates
:{{para|date|9 November 2013b}} or {{para|date|November 9, 2013b}}: full dates
:{{para|date|June–July 2013c}} or {{para|date|Winter–Spring 2013c}}: month or season ranges and year dates
:{{para|date|c. 2013d}}: circa year dates
:{{para|date|{{#time:Y}}–{{#time:Y|now +1 year}}e}} or {{para|date|Summer {{#time:Y}}–{{#time:y|now +1 year}}e}}: year ranges
:{{para|date|n.d.f}}: no date (n.d.)
:{{anchor|NB_YEAR}}<s>{{para|date|2013g-11-09}}</s>: not supported, the template must use {{para|year|2013g}}. If month and day should be part of the citation as well, both parameters need to be given: {{para|date|2013-11-09}} {{para|year|2013x}}. In this case, {{para|date}} is used for citation display and metadata purposes, and {{para|year}} for link disambiguation.

===Two sources with same last names and years ===
An article might cite works from the same year by two different authors with the same last name. For example, an article might cite psychoanalysts [[Anna Freud]] and [[Sigmund Freud]], who both wrote books in the same year.
There are two solutions: it's possible to use the same technique described in the previous section. To differentiate between the two books, the first one can be given the year "1928a" and the second one "1928b".
Or, you can create a [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]] that adds an initial to the name fields, e.g. "A. Freud" and "S. Freud". The links will no longer conflict.

===Citation template has no year but has a date===
Either the {{para|date}} or {{para|year}} of a citation template can be matched—the template logic can extract the year from a full date. If the date parameter is not a full date, then the extraction will fail. If the link does not seem to work, it also possible to set both {{para|date}} and {{para|year}} parameters. The template will display the date and use the year for the anchor. These two examples show a year being successfully extracted from full date.

If the cited source does not have a date, author, or title, place a description of the source within brackets for the {{para|title}} parameter, use {{para|date|n.d.}} and create [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]] with the description in the name position and "n.d." in the year.

===Citation template doesn't create a compatible anchor===
{{See also|[[Wikipedia:Citation templates and reference anchors]])}}
Some templates, such as {{tl|cite comic}} template use the parameter {{para|ref}} to create an anchor for the short citation. This can be used to set a [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]] for {{tl|sfn}}

You could also use CITEREF directly with a concatenation of <code>#CITEREF</code> plus the parameters passed to the Harvard citation template.
===Citation format does not support any kind of anchor===
{{See also|[[Wikipedia:Citation templates and reference anchors]])}}
If the citation is handwritten you should consider the citation format of the article. If citation templates are acceptable here, then try to find one that works for this template. If no template can be found, then this may be a source which can't be represented in our citation templates.
There are also a few templates that do not support any kind of anchor.
For both of these rare cases it is possible to use {{tl2|wikicite}}. It has a {{para|ref}} parameter which can be set to a [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]] that seems appropriate.

===Wikilink to citation does not work===
If an article is using this template, and nothing happens when you click on the highlighted [[wikilink]] from a [[WP:SHORTCITE|short citation]] using a template to a [[WP:SHORTCITE|full citation]] at the bottom of the page, there are several possible solutions. If:
# Templates like this one are rarely used in this article. '''Solution''': Remove this template and format the citation in the style used most often in the article.
# The correct full citation does ''not'' appear at the bottom of the article. '''Solution''': Find the source (it may be copied from an article on a similar subject), and check that it verifies the text. If the source can't be found, replace this template with {{tl2|citation not found}}.
# The correct full citation appears at the bottom of the article, and
## The full citation uses a template from the list at [[Help:Citation Style 1|Citation Style 1]]:
### The name in the short citation is spelled or capitalized differently than in the full citation. '''Solution''': Check the source for the correct spelling, and use the same spelling, spacing, and capitalization in both the short and full citations.
### The template does not have an author's or an editor's, last name (authors take precedence over editors). '''Solution''': See [[#No author name in citation template|§No author name in citation template]], above.
### There is more than one full citation with the same last name(s) and year. '''Solution''': See [[#More than one work in a year|§More than one work in a year]].
### The year is different here than the full citation. '''Solution''': Check the source for the correct year, and use the same year in both the short and full citations.
### The template has a {{para|date}} field and no {{para|year}} field, but the format of the {{para|date}} field is unusual. '''Solution''': Try to fix the date. If the link still does not work, add {{para|year}} to the citation template. (It's okay if it has both.)
### The template does not have a year, or the year is set to "n.d." (no date). '''Solution''': Set the date field of this template to "n.d.".
##The citation template doesn't automatically create the anchor, but has {{para|ref}}. '''Solution''': See [[#Citation template doesn't automatically create the anchor|§Citation template doesn't automatically create the anchor]], above.
##The citation template doesn't support anchors at all. '''Solution''': See [[#Citation format does not support any kind of anchor|§Citation format does not support any kind of anchor]], above.
##The full citation is handwritten.
### There are no other citation templates in the article. This is probably because local editors prefer it that way. '''Solution''': You should adapt to the style of the article. This would probably entail removing this template and formatting the short citation in plain text or replacing it with a full citation in {{tag|ref}} tags.
### There are citation templates used liberally throughout the article. '''Solution''': Reformat the source with the appropriate {{cite *}} template (and set the {{para|ref}} appropriately, if necessary).
### The full citation is handwritten because the source can't be represented by our citation templates at all. '''Solution''': See [[#Citation format does not support any kind of anchor|§Citation format does not support any kind of anchor]], above.
Templates that have broken [[wikilink]]s using these templates are added to the category {{cat|All articles with broken links to citations}}.
== Techniques and variations ==
{{anchor|Additional comments or quotes}}
=== Adding additional comments or quotes ===
The templates {{tl2|harvnb}} or {{tl2|harvtxt}} can be used to add quotes or additional comments into the footnote, in the form of in-text attributions.
{{markup
|<nowiki>
Some information.<ref>{{harvnb|Smith|2011|p=2}}: "A quote verifying the information."</ref>
== Notes ==
{{reflist}}
</nowiki>|

{{Fake heading|sub=3|Notes}}
{{reflist}}
}}
===Citations inside explanatory footnotes===
Sometimes an explanatory footnote requires a citation. There are several acceptable solutions.
It is currently disputed (June 2026) whether parenthetical referencing (or narrative referencing, i.e. in-text attribution serving as referencing) is deprecated inside {{tag|ref}} tags used for explanatory footnotes.
Citations using {{tl1|sfn}} can't be directly embedded between {{tag|ref}} tags, because the following message will be produced: {{small|{{error|Cite error references missing group||nocat=true}}}}. But {{tl1|sfn}} can be used with templates {{tl1|efn}} and {{tl1|notelist}}, which separates the explanatory footnotes from the short citations, as shown in this example. (See also [[Chinese Room]], which is an article that makes extensive use of this technique.)

===Adding a URL for the page or location===
If a specific link to the page or section is available, a [[Uniform Resource Locator|URL]] can be added to the location or page number.
{{markup

(See [[#url weirdness|below]] for a potential issue with this technique.)
===Bundled citations===
{{see also|Help:Citation merging |Wikipedia:Citing sources#Bundling citations}}

}}
===Multiple lists of inline citations===
Sometimes there is a need to create two or more separate lists of inline footnotes. For example some family trees are contained in templates, they are transluded into several biographies, and they have their own self contained citations (see [[Template:Houston family tree]] and the article [[Margaret Lea Houston]]).
To facilitate this, while the main page uses the standard 1,2,3 footnote counting, it is common for family trees to use the efn template with a group parameter set—for example {{tlx|efn-lg}} (lower-greek). The efn templates are text templates, to link some or all of the content of the efn template to a long citation template such as {{tlx|cite book}} place {{tlx|harvnb}} or {{tlx|harv}} within the efn template.

{{anchor|Ps problems}}
== Other parameters ==
These parameters were designed to handle special cases that are better handled by other techniques.
===Parameter {{para|ps}}===
These templates have a parameter {{para|ps}}, designed to hold quotes and explanations.
Two or more {{tlc|sfn}} templates with the same authors, same year, and same page, but different {{para|ps}} will result in a {{small|{{error|Cite error: The named reference ... was defined multiple times with different content}}}} message. This message happens because the reference names that {{tlc|sfn}} creates will be the same, but the content between the {{tag|ref|params=name="FOOTNOTE..."|o}} tag and the {{tag|ref|c}} tag will be different.
A workaround is to convert the offending {{tlc|sfn}} templates to {{tlx|harvnb}} wrapped in {{tag|ref}} tags, as recommended in [[#Additional comments or quotes|§ Adding additional comments or quotes]]. This method is more versatile and robust.
Template {{para|ps}} also has a second (rare) use, when setting {{para|ps|none}}, which suppressed the final period. See [[#Variations in the format of the author-date citation|§ Variations in the format of the author-date citation]].
===Parameter {{para|ref}}===
The optional parameter {{para|ref}} was used to create an unusually named link from the short citation to the full citation. This typically would require setting the hand coded link on the full citation as well. It's easier to only set the link of the full citation to {{para|ref|{{tl2|sfnref}}}}.
If you specify {{para|ref|none}}, no hyperlink is created. However, if one does not want the link, it is always possible to simply use plain text instead of the template.
The parameter only appears in <nowiki>{{harv*}}</nowiki> templates, and may still appear in a few articles.
==Open problems==
===Link works but displays a no target error===
When a short-cite template links to a full citation that is rendered by a template that wraps a CS1 template, like {{txl|cite DNB}} (which wraps {{txl|cite encyclopedia}}), a {{error-small|no target}} error may be displayed even when the short-cite template is valid and the link works. That is a "false positive" error. The error message can be suppressed by adding {{para|ignore-err|yes}} to the template, or by adding the template {{t|Sfn whitelist}} with the anchor ID(s) to the article. If you are testing changes in [[Special:ExpandTemplates]] and the error message cannot be suppressed, try testing in a sandbox or user subpage instead.
==={{ucfirst:sfn}} embedded in list-defined ref does not work===
If you [[Help:Footnotes#embedding references|embed]] an {{ucfirst:sfn}} 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}}.
==Implementation notes==
These templates use two elements: a [[wikilink]] in the body of the article, and an [[WP:ANCHOR DEF|anchor]] in the reference section of the article. Clicking on the wikilink repositions the page at the anchor.
===Citation template [[HTML element#Links and anchors|anchor]]===
{{See also|Wikipedia:Citation templates and reference anchors}}
The most common citation templates are {{cs1}} or {{cs2}}. By default, [[Module:Citation/CS1]] creates an [[HTML element#Links and anchors|anchor]] {{tag|a|o|params=name="CITEREF"}} followed by the concatenation of the following parameters:
* '''last''' or '''last1''' or '''surname''' or '''surname1''' or '''author-last''' or '''author-last1''' or '''author1-last''' or '''author-surname''' or '''author-surname1''' or '''author1-surname''' or '''author''' or '''author1''' or '''authors''',
* '''last2''' or '''surname2''' or '''author-last2''' or '''author2-last''' or '''author-surname2''' or '''author2-surname''' or '''author2''',
* '''last3''' or '''surname3''' or '''author-last3''' or '''author3-last''' or '''author-surname3''' or '''author3-surname''' or '''author3''',
* '''last4''' or '''surname4''' or '''author-last4''' or '''author4-last''' or '''author-surname4''' or '''author4-surname''' or '''author4''',
* '''editor-last''' or '''editor-last1''' or '''editor1-last''' or '''editor-surname''' or '''editor-surname1''' or '''editor1-surname''' or '''editor1''' or '''editor''',
* '''editor-last2''' or '''editor2-last''' or '''editor-surname2''' or '''editor2-surname''' or '''editor2''',
* '''editor-last3''' or '''editor3-last''' or '''editor-surname3''' or '''editor3-surname''' or '''editor3''',
* '''editor-last4''' or '''editor4-last''' or '''editor-surname4''' or '''editor4-surname''' or '''editor4''',
* '''date''', '''year'''
This covers the most common templates. Information about all of the templates is available at [[Wikipedia:Citation templates and reference anchors]].
Use of the '''date''' parameter in place of the '''year''' parameter in citation templates is preferred.
===Harvard citation wikilink===
The Harvard citation templates create a [[wikilink]] to the anchor. For example {{tlx|Harv|Smith|2006|4=p=25}} produces the link {{code|#CITEREFSmith2006}} and {{tlx|Citation|2=last=Smith|3=first=John|4=date=27 January 2006|5=title=My Life}} produces the anchor {{code|CITEREFSmith2006}}.
===Using CITEREF directly===
{{Shortcut|WP:CITEREF}}
A few articles create a custom ID using {{code|CITEREF}}, either in place of the Harvard citation template (e.g. <code><nowiki>[[#CITEREFSmith2006|(2006)]]</nowiki></code>) or as a value for {{para|ref}} in the citation template.
{{Refname rules|A custom ID must follow these rules:|
* If CITEREF is used, then spaces in the {{para|ref}} field must be replaced with underscores}}
Examples:
* {{tlx|sfn|{{var|cite name}}|{{var|year}}}}
* {{tlx|cite book|2=ref=CITEREF{{var|cite_nameyear}}}}
* {{tlx|cite book|2=ref={{tl|sfnref|{{var|cite_name}}|{{var|year}}}}}}
Where {{var|cite_name}} is a name such as the publisher.
To avoid the sometimes difficult to remember syntax for links to CITEREF anchors, {{tl|citeref}} can be used to create internal wikilinks with either small superscript-style labels (like this<sup>[n]</sup>) or plain free-text labels to such anchors. It can be used inside of other citations.
Note that the {{code|CITEREF}} prefix is necessary for the [[mw:Reference Tooltips|reference tooltips gadget]] ([[MediaWiki:Gadget-ReferenceTooltips.js]]) to detect that a link goes to a citation.
===[[Template:sfn|<code><nowiki>{{sfn}}</nowiki></code>]]'s [[WP:REFNAME|ref name]]===
Template {{tl2|sfn}} creates a [[WP:REFNAME|named footnote]], so that identical footnotes are combined automatically. The footnote name begins with {{code|FOOTNOTE}} followed by a concatenation of the arguments to {{tl2|sfn}}. E.g.: this template call {{tlx|sfn|Smith|2006|4=p=26}} should have exactly the same functionality as {{tag|ref|params=name="FOOTNOTESmith200626"|content={{tl|Harvnb|Smith|2006|4=p=26}}.}} which, in turn, has the same functionality as {{tag|ref|params=name="FOOTNOTESmith200626"|content=<nowiki>[[#CITEREFSmith2006|Smith (2006)]], p.&nbsp;26.</nowiki>}}.
{{anchor|url weirdness}}
The ref name becomes more complicated when the page (p) parameter includes a URL, e.g. {{tlg|sfn|Joyce|1903|p{{=}}[https://archive.org/details/aconcisehistory00joycgoog/page/n226 213]|code=on}}, which, once defined, can be called by {{tag|ref|empty|params=name="FOOTNOTEJoyce1903[httpsarchiveorgdetailsaconcisehistory00joycgoogpagen226 213]"}}. The "p=" and the characters |,:,.,/,?,=; are therefore stripped out of the URL. The content of the loc parameter is similarly appended after this.
The call to {{tl2|harvnb}} has been [[subst]]'ed for quicker load times.
{{Fake header|Anchors for some examples}}
Some of the examples need an anchor here so they don't display an error message. Press the back button on your browser to return to the example you were reading.

{{Lua|Module:Footnotes|Module:Check for unknown parameters}}
The '''shortened footnote template''' {{tl|sfn}} creates a short [[WP:Citing sources#Short citations|author–date citation]] in a [[Wikipedia:Citing sources|footnote]], with a one-directional link to the first matching [[Wikipedia:Citation templates|citation template]] on the same page. It will combine identical footnotes automatically.
It is used to create {{sfnote|lc=y}}, a [[WP:CITESTYLE|citation style]] which pairs a short, author-date citation in a footnote with a [[WP:HOWCITE|complete citation]] in the references section at the end of the article (see example [[#Example|below]]). This citation style is used to simplify multiple citations to the same source and to reduce clutter in the edit window.
Common problems and known workarounds are given in the sections below. Use the table of contents to find what you need.
Note that the use (or even non-use) of these templates is an element of citation "style", and adding or removing them in articles with an established style should be consistent with that style. See [[WP:CITEVAR]].
==Usage==
'''Sfn''' generates an "author-date" style short-cite from the following parameters:
<div style="margin-left: 2em"><code>{{<nowiki>sfn</nowiki>| <{{var|last1}}*> | <{{var|last2}}> | <{{var|last3}}> | <{{var|last4}}> | <{{var|year}}*> | p= <{{var|page}}> | loc= <{{var|location}}> }}</code></div>
with
* <{{var|last1}}> – required; surname of first author or corporate author
* <{{var|last2}}>–<{{var|last4}}> – positional parameters; surnames of next three authors; required if available in the full citation
* <{{var|year}}> – required; four-digit year; may have a lowercase disambiguation letter, like {{pval|2012a}}
* {{para|p}} – specific page referenced in the source (alias: {{para|page}}{{hairspace}})
* {{para|pp}} – comma-separated list of [[Template:Csdoc#pages|individual pages and / or range(s) of pages]] referenced in the source (alias: {{para|pages}}{{hairspace}})
* {{para|loc}} – in-source location when {{para|p}} and {{para|pp}} are inappropriate; may be used to supplement {{para|p}} and {{para|pp}}; information such as a section or figure number. (alias: {{para|at}}{{hairspace}})
=== Example ===
Typical usage is shown in the example below. The text and the footnote are connected by a bi-directional link – clicking on the superscript takes the reader to the footnote, clicking on the footnote number takes them back to the superscript. The clicking on the short citation takes them to the full citation in the references section.
'''Sfn''' will also automatically combine identical footnotes.

Template '''sfn''' is not placed inside {{tag|ref}} tags and generates the footnote internally. (To place '''sfn''' in a footnote, see [[#A citation inside an explanatory footnote|putting a citation inside a footnote]], below.)
===Parameters===
====Author(s) and year====
The first four author surnames (or all authors if fewer than four; use the values from {{para|last''N''}} or {{para|author''N''}}{{hairspace}}) are required, followed by the year of publication (from {{para|year}} or {{para|date}}). Authors past the fourth must be omitted or an error will result.
The [[#Possible issues with author-date link|possible issues]] section below describes workarounds for various common problems, such as [[#Large number of authors|large number of authors]], [[#No author name in citation template|no author name]], [[#More than one work in a year|multiple works in the same year]], [[#Two sources with same last names and years|Two sources with same last names and years]] and others.

Use {{para|p}} for single pages; use {{para|pp}} for multiple pages (such as ranges). Use of {{para|p}} for multiple pages or {{para|pp}} for single pages can cause [[Help:Cite errors/Cite error references duplicate key|cite errors]].
{{para|loc}} can be used to specify a location in the source in another way, such as section numbers or chapters. It can also be combined with {{para|p}} or {{para|pp}}.

==Possible issues with author-date link==
{{for|information on how to turn on error messages for broken links|:Category:Harv and Sfn template errors}}
These are techniques that address various unusual difficulties with the link between the short citation and the full citation.
===Custom anchors===
A custom anchor using {{tl|sfnref}} can, at least temporarily, always make the shortened footnote look exactly the way you would like and still have a link that works. Many of the problems and workarounds below require a custom anchor.
All CS1 citation templates and several other templates allow you to set a custom anchor with parameter {{para|ref}}. The template {{tl|sfnRef}} creates an anchor that will match {{tl|sfn}}'s if it has the same parameters as {{tl|sfn}}. To use this technique, choose the name and year you would like to appear in {{tl|sfn}}, copy these parameters into {{tl|sfnRef}} and set {{tl|ref}} to the {{tl|sfnRef}}.
In other words, if you want this:
* {{tl2|sfn|<*''name you want''>|<''year''>|<''page / location''>}}
then set this:
* {{para|ref|{{tl2|sfnRef|<''name you want''>|<''year''>}}}}
in the template, and the link should work correctly.
The parameters must be <em>identical</em> in every respect. If the year is unusual (i.e. not a number), then include the year in the name and don't use the year position.
===Large number of authors===
If there are more than four authors, the first four authors' surnames (the value in {{para|last}} or {{para|author}}) are required by the template. Listing more authors is not supported. It is also possible to use a [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]] that sets the name field to "Smith et. al.".

}}}}
===More than one work in a year===
Where there is a need to cite more than one work ''by the same author published in the same year'', the standard way to disambiguate such works is to add a letter suffix after the year, e.g. "Smith 2006a" and "Smith 2006b".
Set the year element of the {{tlc|sfn}} templates (e.g. {{tlc|sfn|Smith|2006a}} and {{tlc|sfn|Smith|2006a}}), and add the disambiguation letter to the matching full citation, (e.g. <code><nowiki>{{cite book|...|last=Smith|date=2006b}}</nowiki></code>).
When {{tlc|sfn}} is used with {{tlx|citation}} or {{cs1}} templates, a year-suffix letter may be added to {{para|date}} for all accepted date formats except year-initial numeric ({{small|YYYY-MM-DD}}). It is not necessary to include both {{para|date}} and {{para|year}} (see exception [[#NB_YEAR|below]]). If both are included, {{para|year}} is used for the <code>CITEREF</code> anchor to be compliant with legacy citations.
:{{para|date|2013a}}: simple year only dates
:{{para|date|Jan 2013b}} or {{para|date|Winter 2013b}}: month or season and year dates
:{{para|date|9 November 2013b}} or {{para|date|November 9, 2013b}}: full dates
:{{para|date|June–July 2013c}} or {{para|date|Winter–Spring 2013c}}: month or season ranges and year dates
:{{para|date|c. 2013d}}: circa year dates
:{{para|date|{{#time:Y}}–{{#time:Y|now +1 year}}e}} or {{para|date|Summer {{#time:Y}}–{{#time:y|now +1 year}}e}}: year ranges
:{{para|date|n.d.f}}: no date (n.d.)
:{{anchor|NB_YEAR}}<s>{{para|date|2013g-11-09}}</s>: not supported, the template must use {{para|year|2013g}}. If month and day should be part of the citation as well, both parameters need to be given: {{para|date|2013-11-09}} {{para|year|2013x}}. In this case, {{para|date}} is used for citation display and metadata purposes, and {{para|year}} for link disambiguation.

===Two sources with same last names and years ===
An article might cite works from the same year by two different authors with the same last name. For example, an article might cite psychoanalysts [[Anna Freud]] and [[Sigmund Freud]], who both wrote books in the same year.
There are two solutions: it's possible to use the same technique described in the previous section. To differentiate between the two books, the first one can be given the year "1928a" and the second one "1928b".
Or, you can create a [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]] that adds an initial to the name fields, e.g. "A. Freud" and "S. Freud". The links will no longer conflict.

===Citation template has no year but has a date===
Either the {{para|date}} or {{para|year}} of a citation template can be matched—the template logic can extract the year from a full date. If the date parameter is not a full date, then the extraction will fail. If the link does not seem to work, it also possible to set both {{para|date}} and {{para|year}} parameters. The template will display the date and use the year for the anchor. These two examples show a year being successfully extracted from full date.

===Citation template has no date===
If the cited source does not have a date, you can use {{para|date|n.d.}} for the full citation and "n.d." in place of the date for the short citation:
{{markup
|<nowiki>This is a fact.{{sfn|Smith|n.d.}}
==Notes==
{{reflist}}
==References==
* {{Citation |last=Smith |title=Title |date=n.d. |publisher=Publisher |mode=cs1}}</nowiki>

{{fake heading|sub=3|Notes}}
{{reflist}}
{{fake heading|sub=3|References}}
* {{Citation |last=Smith |title=Title |date=n.d. |publisher=Publisher |mode=cs1}}
}}
===Citation template has no author name===
Some sources do not have a single author with a last name, such as a magazine article or a report from a government institution. There is no consensus (in Wikipedia or among citation styles) about how to format author–date citations for works that do not have a specific author. Several choices are:
# The title of the article, or a shortened form of the title, is recommended by some style guides.
# For a newspaper or periodical, you may use the name of the paper and the date.
# For a publication by an institution, use either:
## The initials of the institution
## The name of the institution
# Other style guides recommend using "Anonymous" or "Anon."
An article should adopt one of these styles consistently.
Use a [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]] to replace set the author name to one of these other choices, as shown in these examples below.

Some templates, such as {{tl|cite comic}} template use the parameter {{para|ref}} to create an anchor for the short citation. This can be used to set a [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]] for {{tl|sfn}}
{{markup
|<nowiki>Article text.{{sfn|Morrison|1987}}
==Notes==
{{reflist}}
==References==
* {{cite comic
|writer=Morrison, Grant
|artist=Yeowell, Steve
|title=2000 AD
|date=August 15, 1987
|publisher=[[Fleetway]]
|ref={{sfnref|Morrison|1987}}
}}</nowiki>

}}}}}}
You could also use CITEREF directly with a concatenation of <code>#CITEREF</code> plus the parameters passed to the Harvard citation template.
===Citation format does not support any kind of anchor===
{{See also|[[Wikipedia:Citation templates and reference anchors]])}}
If the citation is handwritten you should consider the citation format of the article. If citation templates are acceptable here, then try to find one that works for this template. If no template can be found, then this may be a source which can't be represented in our citation templates.
There are also a few templates that do not support any kind of anchor.
For both of these rare cases it is possible to use {{tl2|wikicite}}. It has a {{para|ref}} parameter which can be set to a [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]] that seems appropriate.

===Wikilink to citation does not work===
If an article is using this template, and nothing happens when you click on the highlighted [[wikilink]] from a [[WP:SHORTCITE|short citation]] using a template to a [[WP:SHORTCITE|full citation]] at the bottom of the page, there are several possible solutions. If:
# Templates like this one are rarely used in this article. '''Solution''': Remove this template and format the citation in the style used most often in the article.
# The correct full citation does ''not'' appear at the bottom of the article. '''Solution''': Find the source (it may be copied from an article on a similar subject), and check that it verifies the text. If the source can't be found, replace this template with {{tl2|citation not found}}.
# The correct full citation appears at the bottom of the article, and
## The full citation uses a template from the list at [[Help:Citation Style 1|Citation Style 1]]:
### The name in the short citation is spelled or capitalized differently than in the full citation. '''Solution''': Check the source for the correct spelling, and use the same spelling, spacing, and capitalization in both the short and full citations.
### The template does not have an author's or an editor's, last name (authors take precedence over editors). '''Solution''': See [[#No author name in citation template|§No author name in citation template]], above.
### There is more than one full citation with the same last name(s) and year. '''Solution''': See [[#More than one work in a year|§More than one work in a year]].
### The year is different here than the full citation. '''Solution''': Check the source for the correct year, and use the same year in both the short and full citations.
### The template has a {{para|date}} field and no {{para|year}} field, but the format of the {{para|date}} field is unusual. '''Solution''': Try to fix the date. If the link still does not work, add {{para|year}} to the citation template. (It's okay if it has both.)
### The template does not have a year, or the year is set to "n.d." (no date). '''Solution''': Set the date field of this template to "n.d.".
##The citation template doesn't automatically create the anchor, but has {{para|ref}}. '''Solution''': See [[#Citation template doesn't automatically create the anchor|§Citation template doesn't automatically create the anchor]], above.
##The citation template doesn't support anchors at all. '''Solution''': See [[#Citation format does not support any kind of anchor|§Citation format does not support any kind of anchor]], above.
##The full citation is handwritten.
### There are no other citation templates in the article. This is probably because local editors prefer it that way. '''Solution''': You should adapt to the style of the article. This would probably entail removing this template and formatting the short citation in plain text or replacing it with a full citation in {{tag|ref}} tags.
### There are citation templates used liberally throughout the article. '''Solution''': Reformat the source with the appropriate {{cite *}} template (and set the {{para|ref}} appropriately, if necessary).
### The full citation is handwritten because the source can't be represented by our citation templates at all. '''Solution''': See [[#Citation format does not support any kind of anchor|§Citation format does not support any kind of anchor]], above.
Templates that have broken [[wikilink]]s using these templates are added to the category {{cat|All articles with broken links to citations}}.
== Techniques and variations ==
{{anchor|Additional comments or quotes}}
=== Adding additional comments or quotes ===
The templates {{tl2|harvnb}} or {{tl2|harvtxt}} can be used to add quotes or additional comments into the footnote, in the form of in-text attributions.
{{markup
|<nowiki>
Some information.<ref>{{harvnb|Smith|2011|p=2}}: "A quote verifying the information."</ref>
== Notes ==
{{reflist}}
</nowiki>|

{{Fake heading|sub=3|Notes}}
{{reflist}}
}}
===Citations inside explanatory footnotes===
Sometimes an explanatory footnote requires a citation. There are several acceptable solutions.
It is currently disputed (June 2026) whether parenthetical referencing (or narrative referencing, i.e. in-text attribution serving as referencing) is deprecated inside {{tag|ref}} tags used for explanatory footnotes.
Citations using {{tl1|sfn}} can't be directly embedded between {{tag|ref}} tags, because the following message will be produced: {{small|{{error|Cite error references missing group||nocat=true}}}}. But {{tl1|sfn}} can be used with templates {{tl1|efn}} and {{tl1|notelist}}, which separates the explanatory footnotes from the short citations, as shown in this example. (See also [[Chinese Room]], which is an article that makes extensive use of this technique.)

===Adding a URL for the page or location===
If a specific link to the page or section is available, a [[Uniform Resource Locator|URL]] can be added to the location or page number.
{{markup

(See [[#url weirdness|below]] for a potential issue with this technique.)
===Bundled citations===
{{see also|Help:Citation merging |Wikipedia:Citing sources#Bundling citations}}
Template {{tl2|harvnb}} (with <nowiki><ref></nowiki> tags) or {{tl2|sfnm}} can be used to [[WP:CITE#Bundling citations|bundle citations]].

}}
===Multiple lists of inline citations===
Sometimes there is a need to create two or more separate lists of inline footnotes. For example some family trees are contained in templates, they are transluded into several biographies, and they have their own self contained citations (see [[Template:Houston family tree]] and the article [[Margaret Lea Houston]]).
To facilitate this, while the main page uses the standard 1,2,3 footnote counting, it is common for family trees to use the efn template with a group parameter set—for example {{tlx|efn-lg}} (lower-greek). The efn templates are text templates, to link some or all of the content of the efn template to a long citation template such as {{tlx|cite book}} place {{tlx|harvnb}} or {{tlx|harv}} within the efn template.

===More exotic Harvard citations===
{{Main|Template:Harvard citations}}
More exotic Harvard citations can be constructed using the {{tl2|harvs}} template, such as multiple papers by the same author, using both the first and last names, links to articles about the author, and others.

{{anchor|Ps problems}}
== Other parameters ==
These parameters were designed to handle special cases that are better handled by other techniques.
===Parameter {{para|ps}}===
These templates have a parameter {{para|ps}}, designed to hold quotes and explanations.
Two or more {{tlc|sfn}} templates with the same authors, same year, and same page, but different {{para|ps}} will result in a {{small|{{error|Cite error: The named reference ... was defined multiple times with different content}}}} message. This message happens because the reference names that {{tlc|sfn}} creates will be the same, but the content between the {{tag|ref|params=name="FOOTNOTE..."|o}} tag and the {{tag|ref|c}} tag will be different.
A workaround is to convert the offending {{tlc|sfn}} templates to {{tlx|harvnb}} wrapped in {{tag|ref}} tags, as recommended in [[#Additional comments or quotes|§ Adding additional comments or quotes]]. This method is more versatile and robust.
Template {{para|ps}} also has a second (rare) use, when setting {{para|ps|none}}, which suppressed the final period. See [[#Variations in the format of the author-date citation|§ Variations in the format of the author-date citation]].
===Parameter {{para|ref}}===
The optional parameter {{para|ref}} was used to create an unusually named link from the short citation to the full citation. This typically would require setting the hand coded link on the full citation as well. It's easier to only set the link of the full citation to {{para|ref|{{tl2|sfnref}}}}.
If you specify {{para|ref|none}}, no hyperlink is created. However, if one does not want the link, it is always possible to simply use plain text instead of the template.
The parameter only appears in <nowiki>{{harv*}}</nowiki> templates, and may still appear in a few articles.
==Open problems==
===Link works but displays a no target error===
When a short-cite template links to a full citation that is rendered by a template that wraps a CS1 template, like {{txl|cite DNB}} (which wraps {{txl|cite encyclopedia}}), a {{error-small|no target}} error may be displayed even when the short-cite template is valid and the link works. That is a "false positive" error. The error message can be suppressed by adding {{para|ignore-err|yes}} to the template, or by adding the template {{t|Sfn whitelist}} with the anchor ID(s) to the article. If you are testing changes in [[Special:ExpandTemplates]] and the error message cannot be suppressed, try testing in a sandbox or user subpage instead.
==={{ucfirst:sfn}} embedded in list-defined ref does not work===
If you [[Help:Footnotes#embedding references|embed]] an {{ucfirst:sfn}} 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}}.
==Implementation notes==
These templates use two elements: a [[wikilink]] in the body of the article, and an [[WP:ANCHOR DEF|anchor]] in the reference section of the article. Clicking on the wikilink repositions the page at the anchor.
===Citation template [[HTML element#Links and anchors|anchor]]===
{{See also|Wikipedia:Citation templates and reference anchors}}
The most common citation templates are {{cs1}} or {{cs2}}. By default, [[Module:Citation/CS1]] creates an [[HTML element#Links and anchors|anchor]] {{tag|a|o|params=name="CITEREF"}} followed by the concatenation of the following parameters:
* '''last''' or '''last1''' or '''surname''' or '''surname1''' or '''author-last''' or '''author-last1''' or '''author1-last''' or '''author-surname''' or '''author-surname1''' or '''author1-surname''' or '''author''' or '''author1''' or '''authors''',
* '''last2''' or '''surname2''' or '''author-last2''' or '''author2-last''' or '''author-surname2''' or '''author2-surname''' or '''author2''',
* '''last3''' or '''surname3''' or '''author-last3''' or '''author3-last''' or '''author-surname3''' or '''author3-surname''' or '''author3''',
* '''last4''' or '''surname4''' or '''author-last4''' or '''author4-last''' or '''author-surname4''' or '''author4-surname''' or '''author4''',
* '''editor-last''' or '''editor-last1''' or '''editor1-last''' or '''editor-surname''' or '''editor-surname1''' or '''editor1-surname''' or '''editor1''' or '''editor''',
* '''editor-last2''' or '''editor2-last''' or '''editor-surname2''' or '''editor2-surname''' or '''editor2''',
* '''editor-last3''' or '''editor3-last''' or '''editor-surname3''' or '''editor3-surname''' or '''editor3''',
* '''editor-last4''' or '''editor4-last''' or '''editor-surname4''' or '''editor4-surname''' or '''editor4''',
* '''date''', '''year'''
This covers the most common templates. Information about all of the templates is available at [[Wikipedia:Citation templates and reference anchors]].
Use of the '''date''' parameter in place of the '''year''' parameter in citation templates is preferred.
===Harvard citation wikilink===
The Harvard citation templates create a [[wikilink]] to the anchor. For example {{tlx|Harv|Smith|2006|4=p=25}} produces the link {{code|#CITEREFSmith2006}} and {{tlx|Citation|2=last=Smith|3=first=John|4=date=27 January 2006|5=title=My Life}} produces the anchor {{code|CITEREFSmith2006}}.
===Using CITEREF directly===
{{Shortcut|WP:CITEREF}}
A few articles create a custom ID using {{code|CITEREF}}, either in place of the Harvard citation template (e.g. <code><nowiki>[[#CITEREFSmith2006|(2006)]]</nowiki></code>) or as a value for {{para|ref}} in the citation template.
{{Refname rules|A custom ID must follow these rules:|
* If CITEREF is used, then spaces in the {{para|ref}} field must be replaced with underscores}}
Examples:
* {{tlx|sfn|{{var|cite name}}|{{var|year}}}}
* {{tlx|cite book|2=ref=CITEREF{{var|cite_nameyear}}}}
* {{tlx|cite book|2=ref={{tl|sfnref|{{var|cite_name}}|{{var|year}}}}}}
Where {{var|cite_name}} is a name such as the publisher.
To avoid the sometimes difficult to remember syntax for links to CITEREF anchors, {{tl|citeref}} can be used to create internal wikilinks with either small superscript-style labels (like this<sup>[n]</sup>) or plain free-text labels to such anchors. It can be used inside of other citations.
Note that the {{code|CITEREF}} prefix is necessary for the [[mw:Reference Tooltips|reference tooltips gadget]] ([[MediaWiki:Gadget-ReferenceTooltips.js]]) to detect that a link goes to a citation.
===[[Template:sfn|<code><nowiki>{{sfn}}</nowiki></code>]]'s [[WP:REFNAME|ref name]]===
Template {{tl2|sfn}} creates a [[WP:REFNAME|named footnote]], so that identical footnotes are combined automatically. The footnote name begins with {{code|FOOTNOTE}} followed by a concatenation of the arguments to {{tl2|sfn}}. E.g.: this template call {{tlx|sfn|Smith|2006|4=p=26}} should have exactly the same functionality as {{tag|ref|params=name="FOOTNOTESmith200626"|content={{tl|Harvnb|Smith|2006|4=p=26}}.}} which, in turn, has the same functionality as {{tag|ref|params=name="FOOTNOTESmith200626"|content=<nowiki>[[#CITEREFSmith2006|Smith (2006)]], p.&nbsp;26.</nowiki>}}.
{{anchor|url weirdness}}
The ref name becomes more complicated when the page (p) parameter includes a URL, e.g. {{tlg|sfn|Joyce|1903|p{{=}}[https://archive.org/details/aconcisehistory00joycgoog/page/n226 213]|code=on}}, which, once defined, can be called by {{tag|ref|empty|params=name="FOOTNOTEJoyce1903[httpsarchiveorgdetailsaconcisehistory00joycgoogpagen226 213]"}}. The "p=" and the characters |,:,.,/,?,=; are therefore stripped out of the URL. The content of the loc parameter is similarly appended after this.
The call to {{tl2|harvnb}} has been [[subst]]'ed for quicker load times.

{{Lua|Module:Footnotes|Module:Check for unknown parameters}}
The '''shortened footnote template''' {{tl|sfn}} creates a short [[WP:Citing sources#Short citations|author–date citation]] in a [[Wikipedia:Citing sources|footnote]], with a one-directional link to the first matching [[Wikipedia:Citation templates|citation template]] on the same page. It will combine identical footnotes automatically.
It is used to create {{sfnote|lc=y}}, a [[WP:CITESTYLE|citation style]] which pairs a short, author-date citation in a footnote with a [[WP:HOWCITE|complete citation]] in the references section at the end of the article (see example [[#Example|below]]). This citation style is used to simplify multiple citations to the same source and to reduce clutter in the edit window.
Common problems and known workarounds are given in the sections below. Use the table of contents to find what you need.
Note that the use (or even non-use) of these templates is an element of citation "style", and adding or removing them in articles with an established style should be consistent with that style. See [[WP:CITEVAR]].
==Usage==
'''Sfn''' generates an "author-date" style short-cite from the following parameters:
<div style="margin-left: 2em"><code>{{<nowiki>sfn</nowiki>| <{{var|last1}}*> | <{{var|last2}}> | <{{var|last3}}> | <{{var|last4}}> | <{{var|year}}*> | p= <{{var|page}}> | loc= <{{var|location}}> }}</code></div>
with
* <{{var|last1}}> – required; surname of first author or corporate author
* <{{var|last2}}>–<{{var|last4}}> – positional parameters; surnames of next three authors; required if available in the full citation
* <{{var|year}}> – required; four-digit year; may have a lowercase disambiguation letter, like {{pval|2012a}}
* {{para|p}} – specific page referenced in the source (alias: {{para|page}}{{hairspace}})
* {{para|pp}} – comma-separated list of [[Template:Csdoc#pages|individual pages and / or range(s) of pages]] referenced in the source (alias: {{para|pages}}{{hairspace}})
* {{para|loc}} – in-source location when {{para|p}} and {{para|pp}} are inappropriate; may be used to supplement {{para|p}} and {{para|pp}}; information such as a section or figure number. (alias: {{para|at}}{{hairspace}})
=== Example ===
Typical usage is shown in the example below. The text and the footnote are connected by a bi-directional link – clicking on the superscript takes the reader to the footnote, clicking on the footnote number takes them back to the superscript. The clicking on the short citation takes them to the full citation in the references section.
'''Sfn''' will also automatically combine identical footnotes.

Template '''sfn''' is not placed inside {{tag|ref}} tags and generates the footnote internally. (To place '''sfn''' in a footnote, see [[#A citation inside an explanatory footnote|putting a citation inside a footnote]], below.)
===Parameters===
====Author(s) and year====
The first four author surnames (or all authors if fewer than four; use the values from {{para|last''N''}} or {{para|author''N''}}{{hairspace}}) are required, followed by the year of publication (from {{para|year}} or {{para|date}}). Authors past the fourth must be omitted or an error will result.
The [[#Possible issues with author-date link|possible issues]] section below describes workarounds for various common problems, such as [[#Large number of authors|large number of authors]], [[#No author name in citation template|no author name]], [[#More than one work in a year|multiple works in the same year]], [[#Two sources with same last names and years|Two sources with same last names and years]] and others.

Use {{para|p}} for single pages; use {{para|pp}} for multiple pages (such as ranges). Use of {{para|p}} for multiple pages or {{para|pp}} for single pages can cause [[Help:Cite errors/Cite error references duplicate key|cite errors]].
{{para|loc}} can be used to specify a location in the source in another way, such as section numbers or chapters. It can also be combined with {{para|p}} or {{para|pp}}.

==Possible issues with author-date link==
{{for|information on how to turn on error messages for broken links|:Category:Harv and Sfn template errors}}
These are techniques that address various unusual difficulties with the link between the short citation and the full citation.
===Custom anchors===
A custom anchor using {{tl|sfnref}} can, at least temporarily, always make the shortened footnote look exactly the way you would like and still have a link that works. Many of the problems and workarounds below require a custom anchor.
All CS1 citation templates and several other templates allow you to set a custom anchor with parameter {{para|ref}}. The template {{tl|sfnRef}} creates an anchor that will match {{tl|sfn}}'s if it has the same parameters as {{tl|sfn}}. To use this technique, choose the name and year you would like to appear in {{tl|sfn}}, copy these parameters into {{tl|sfnRef}} and set {{tl|ref}} to the {{tl|sfnRef}}.
In other words, if you want this:
* {{tl2|sfn|<*''name you want''>|<''year''>|<''page / location''>}}
then set this:
* {{para|ref|{{tl2|sfnRef|<''name you want''>|<''year''>}}}}
in the template, and the link should work correctly.
The parameters must be <em>identical</em> in every respect. If the year is unusual (i.e. not a number), then include the year in the name and don't use the year position.
===Large number of authors===
If there are more than four authors, the first four authors' surnames (the value in {{para|last}} or {{para|author}}) are required by the template. Listing more authors is not supported. It is also possible to use a [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]] that sets the name field to "Smith et. al.".

}}}}
===More than one work in a year===
Where there is a need to cite more than one work ''by the same author published in the same year'', the standard way to disambiguate such works is to add a letter suffix after the year, e.g. "Smith 2006a" and "Smith 2006b".
Set the year element of the {{tlc|sfn}} templates (e.g. {{tlc|sfn|Smith|2006a}} and {{tlc|sfn|Smith|2006a}}), and add the disambiguation letter to the matching full citation, (e.g. <code><nowiki>{{cite book|...|last=Smith|date=2006b}}</nowiki></code>).
When {{tlc|sfn}} is used with {{tlx|citation}} or {{cs1}} templates, a year-suffix letter may be added to {{para|date}} for all accepted date formats except year-initial numeric ({{small|YYYY-MM-DD}}). It is not necessary to include both {{para|date}} and {{para|year}} (see exception [[#NB_YEAR|below]]). If both are included, {{para|year}} is used for the <code>CITEREF</code> anchor to be compliant with legacy citations.
:{{para|date|2013a}}: simple year only dates
:{{para|date|Jan 2013b}} or {{para|date|Winter 2013b}}: month or season and year dates
:{{para|date|9 November 2013b}} or {{para|date|November 9, 2013b}}: full dates
:{{para|date|June–July 2013c}} or {{para|date|Winter–Spring 2013c}}: month or season ranges and year dates
:{{para|date|c. 2013d}}: circa year dates
:{{para|date|{{#time:Y}}–{{#time:Y|now +1 year}}e}} or {{para|date|Summer {{#time:Y}}–{{#time:y|now +1 year}}e}}: year ranges
:{{para|date|n.d.f}}: no date (n.d.)
:{{anchor|NB_YEAR}}<s>{{para|date|2013g-11-09}}</s>: not supported, the template must use {{para|year|2013g}}. If month and day should be part of the citation as well, both parameters need to be given: {{para|date|2013-11-09}} {{para|year|2013x}}. In this case, {{para|date}} is used for citation display and metadata purposes, and {{para|year}} for link disambiguation.

===Two sources with same last names and years ===
An article might cite works from the same year by two different authors with the same last name. For example, an article might cite psychoanalysts [[Anna Freud]] and [[Sigmund Freud]], who both wrote books in the same year.
There are two solutions: it's possible to use the same technique described in the previous section. To differentiate between the two books, the first one can be given the year "1928a" and the second one "1928b".
Or, you can create a [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]] that adds an initial to the name fields, e.g. "A. Freud" and "S. Freud". The links will no longer conflict.

===Citation template has no year but has a date===
Either the {{para|date}} or {{para|year}} of a citation template can be matched—the template logic can extract the year from a full date. If the date parameter is not a full date, then the extraction will fail. If the link does not seem to work, it also possible to set both {{para|date}} and {{para|year}} parameters. The template will display the date and use the year for the anchor. These two examples show a year being successfully extracted from full date.

===Citation template has no date===
If the cited source does not have a date, you can use {{para|date|n.d.}} for the full citation and "n.d." in place of the date for the short citation:
{{markup
|<nowiki>This is a fact.{{sfn|Smith|n.d.}}
==Notes==
{{reflist}}
==References==
* {{Citation |last=Smith |title=Title |date=n.d. |publisher=Publisher |mode=cs1}}</nowiki>

{{reflist}}
{{fake heading|sub=3|References}}
* {{Citation |last=Smith |title=Title |date=n.d. |publisher=Publisher |mode=cs1}}
}}
===Citation template has no author name===
Some sources do not have a single author with a last name, such as a magazine article or a report from a government institution. There is no consensus (in Wikipedia or among citation styles) about how to format author–date citations for works that do not have a specific author. Several choices are:
# The title of the article, or a shortened form of the title, is recommended by some style guides.
# For a newspaper or periodical, you may use the name of the paper and the date.
# For a publication by an institution, use either:
## The initials of the institution
## The name of the institution
# Other style guides recommend using "Anonymous" or "Anon."
An article should adopt one of these styles consistently.
Use a [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]] to replace set the author name to one of these other choices, as shown in these examples below.

You could also use CITEREF directly with a concatenation of <code>#CITEREF</code> plus the parameters passed to the Harvard citation template.
===Citation format does not support any kind of anchor===
{{See also|[[Wikipedia:Citation templates and reference anchors]])}}
If the citation is handwritten you should consider the citation format of the article. If citation templates are acceptable here, then try to find one that works for this template. If no template can be found, then this may be a source which can't be represented in our citation templates.
There are also a few templates that do not support any kind of anchor.
For both of these rare cases it is possible to use {{tl2|wikicite}}. It has a {{para|ref}} parameter which can be set to a [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]] that seems appropriate.

===Wikilink to citation does not work===
If an article is using this template, and nothing happens when you click on the highlighted [[wikilink]] from a [[WP:SHORTCITE|short citation]] using a template to a [[WP:SHORTCITE|full citation]] at the bottom of the page, there are several possible solutions. If:
# Templates like this one are rarely used in this article. '''Solution''': Remove this template and format the citation in the style used most often in the article.
# The correct full citation does ''not'' appear at the bottom of the article. '''Solution''': Find the source (it may be copied from an article on a similar subject), and check that it verifies the text. If the source can't be found, replace this template with {{tl2|citation not found}}.
# The correct full citation appears at the bottom of the article, and
## The full citation uses a template from the list at [[Help:Citation Style 1|Citation Style 1]]:
### The name in the short citation is spelled or capitalized differently than in the full citation. '''Solution''': Check the source for the correct spelling, and use the same spelling, spacing, and capitalization in both the short and full citations.
### The template does not have an author's or an editor's, last name (authors take precedence over editors). '''Solution''': See [[#No author name in citation template|§No author name in citation template]], above.
### There is more than one full citation with the same last name(s) and year. '''Solution''': See [[#More than one work in a year|§More than one work in a year]].
### The year is different here than the full citation. '''Solution''': Check the source for the correct year, and use the same year in both the short and full citations.
### The template has a {{para|date}} field and no {{para|year}} field, but the format of the {{para|date}} field is unusual. '''Solution''': Try to fix the date. If the link still does not work, add {{para|year}} to the citation template. (It's okay if it has both.)
### The template does not have a year, or the year is set to "n.d." (no date). '''Solution''': Set the date field of this template to "n.d.".
##The citation template doesn't automatically create the anchor, but has {{para|ref}}. '''Solution''': See [[#Citation template doesn't automatically create the anchor|§Citation template doesn't automatically create the anchor]], above.
##The citation template doesn't support anchors at all. '''Solution''': See [[#Citation format does not support any kind of anchor|§Citation format does not support any kind of anchor]], above.
##The full citation is handwritten.
### There are no other citation templates in the article. This is probably because local editors prefer it that way. '''Solution''': You should adapt to the style of the article. This would probably entail removing this template and formatting the short citation in plain text or replacing it with a full citation in {{tag|ref}} tags.
### There are citation templates used liberally throughout the article. '''Solution''': Reformat the source with the appropriate {{cite *}} template (and set the {{para|ref}} appropriately, if necessary).
### The full citation is handwritten because the source can't be represented by our citation templates at all. '''Solution''': See [[#Citation format does not support any kind of anchor|§Citation format does not support any kind of anchor]], above.
Templates that have broken [[wikilink]]s using these templates are added to the category {{cat|All articles with broken links to citations}}.
== Techniques and variations ==
{{anchor|Additional comments or quotes}}
=== Adding additional comments or quotes ===
The templates {{tl2|harvnb}} or {{tl2|harvtxt}} can be used to add quotes or additional comments into the footnote, in the form of in-text attributions.
{{markup
|<nowiki>
Some information.<ref>{{harvnb|Smith|2011|p=2}}: "A quote verifying the information."</ref>
== Notes ==
{{reflist}}
</nowiki>|

{{Fake heading|sub=3|Notes}}
{{reflist}}
}}
===Citations inside explanatory footnotes===
Sometimes an explanatory footnote requires a citation. There are several acceptable solutions.
It is currently disputed (June 2026) whether parenthetical referencing (or narrative referencing, i.e. in-text attribution serving as referencing) is deprecated inside {{tag|ref}} tags used for explanatory footnotes.
Citations using {{tl1|sfn}} can't be directly embedded between {{tag|ref}} tags, because the following message will be produced: {{small|{{error|Cite error references missing group||nocat=true}}}}. But {{tl1|sfn}} can be used with templates {{tl1|efn}} and {{tl1|notelist}}, which separates the explanatory footnotes from the short citations, as shown in this example. (See also [[Chinese Room]], which is an article that makes extensive use of this technique.)

===Adding a URL for the page or location===
If a specific link to the page or section is available, a [[Uniform Resource Locator|URL]] can be added to the location or page number.
{{markup

(See [[#url weirdness|below]] for a potential issue with this technique.)
===Bundled citations===
{{see also|Help:Citation merging |Wikipedia:Citing sources#Bundling citations}}
Template {{tl2|harvnb}} (with <nowiki><ref></nowiki> tags) or {{tl2|sfnm}} can be used to [[WP:CITE#Bundling citations|bundle citations]].

}}
===Multiple lists of inline citations===
Sometimes there is a need to create two or more separate lists of inline footnotes. For example some family trees are contained in templates, they are transluded into several biographies, and they have their own self contained citations (see [[Template:Houston family tree]] and the article [[Margaret Lea Houston]]).
To facilitate this, while the main page uses the standard 1,2,3 footnote counting, it is common for family trees to use the efn template with a group parameter set—for example {{tlx|efn-lg}} (lower-greek). The efn templates are text templates, to link some or all of the content of the efn template to a long citation template such as {{tlx|cite book}} place {{tlx|harvnb}} or {{tlx|harv}} within the efn template.

===More exotic Harvard citations===
{{Main|Template:Harvard citations}}
More exotic Harvard citations can be constructed using the {{tl2|harvs}} template, such as multiple papers by the same author, using both the first and last names, links to articles about the author, and others.
{{markup|<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">

{{anchor|Ps problems}}
== Other parameters ==
These parameters were designed to handle special cases that are better handled by other techniques.
===Parameter {{para|ps}}===
These templates have a parameter {{para|ps}}, designed to hold quotes and explanations.
Two or more {{tlc|sfn}} templates with the same authors, same year, and same page, but different {{para|ps}} will result in a {{small|{{error|Cite error: The named reference ... was defined multiple times with different content}}}} message. This message happens because the reference names that {{tlc|sfn}} creates will be the same, but the content between the {{tag|ref|params=name="FOOTNOTE..."|o}} tag and the {{tag|ref|c}} tag will be different.
A workaround is to convert the offending {{tlc|sfn}} templates to {{tlx|harvnb}} wrapped in {{tag|ref}} tags, as recommended in [[#Additional comments or quotes|§ Adding additional comments or quotes]]. This method is more versatile and robust.
Template {{para|ps}} also has a second (rare) use, when setting {{para|ps|none}}, which suppressed the final period. See [[#Variations in the format of the author-date citation|§ Variations in the format of the author-date citation]].
===Parameter {{para|ref}}===
The optional parameter {{para|ref}} was used to create an unusually named link from the short citation to the full citation. This typically would require setting the hand coded link on the full citation as well. It's easier to only set the link of the full citation to {{para|ref|{{tl2|sfnref}}}}.
If you specify {{para|ref|none}}, no hyperlink is created. However, if one does not want the link, it is always possible to simply use plain text instead of the template.
The parameter only appears in <nowiki>{{harv*}}</nowiki> templates, and may still appear in a few articles.
==Open problems==
===Link works but displays a no target error===
When a short-cite template links to a full citation that is rendered by a template that wraps a CS1 template, like {{txl|cite DNB}} (which wraps {{txl|cite encyclopedia}}), a {{error-small|no target}} error may be displayed even when the short-cite template is valid and the link works. That is a "false positive" error. The error message can be suppressed by adding {{para|ignore-err|yes}} to the template, or by adding the template {{t|Sfn whitelist}} with the anchor ID(s) to the article. If you are testing changes in [[Special:ExpandTemplates]] and the error message cannot be suppressed, try testing in a sandbox or user subpage instead.
==={{ucfirst:sfn}} embedded in list-defined ref does not work===
If you [[Help:Footnotes#embedding references|embed]] an {{ucfirst:sfn}} 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}}.
==Implementation notes==
These templates use two elements: a [[wikilink]] in the body of the article, and an [[WP:ANCHOR DEF|anchor]] in the reference section of the article. Clicking on the wikilink repositions the page at the anchor.
===Citation template [[HTML element#Links and anchors|anchor]]===
{{See also|Wikipedia:Citation templates and reference anchors}}
The most common citation templates are {{cs1}} or {{cs2}}. By default, [[Module:Citation/CS1]] creates an [[HTML element#Links and anchors|anchor]] {{tag|a|o|params=name="CITEREF"}} followed by the concatenation of the following parameters:
* '''last''' or '''last1''' or '''surname''' or '''surname1''' or '''author-last''' or '''author-last1''' or '''author1-last''' or '''author-surname''' or '''author-surname1''' or '''author1-surname''' or '''author''' or '''author1''' or '''authors''',
* '''last2''' or '''surname2''' or '''author-last2''' or '''author2-last''' or '''author-surname2''' or '''author2-surname''' or '''author2''',
* '''last3''' or '''surname3''' or '''author-last3''' or '''author3-last''' or '''author-surname3''' or '''author3-surname''' or '''author3''',
* '''last4''' or '''surname4''' or '''author-last4''' or '''author4-last''' or '''author-surname4''' or '''author4-surname''' or '''author4''',
* '''editor-last''' or '''editor-last1''' or '''editor1-last''' or '''editor-surname''' or '''editor-surname1''' or '''editor1-surname''' or '''editor1''' or '''editor''',
* '''editor-last2''' or '''editor2-last''' or '''editor-surname2''' or '''editor2-surname''' or '''editor2''',
* '''editor-last3''' or '''editor3-last''' or '''editor-surname3''' or '''editor3-surname''' or '''editor3''',
* '''editor-last4''' or '''editor4-last''' or '''editor-surname4''' or '''editor4-surname''' or '''editor4''',
* '''date''', '''year'''
This covers the most common templates. Information about all of the templates is available at [[Wikipedia:Citation templates and reference anchors]].
Use of the '''date''' parameter in place of the '''year''' parameter in citation templates is preferred.
===Harvard citation wikilink===
The Harvard citation templates create a [[wikilink]] to the anchor. For example {{tlx|Harv|Smith|2006|4=p=25}} produces the link {{code|#CITEREFSmith2006}} and {{tlx|Citation|2=last=Smith|3=first=John|4=date=27 January 2006|5=title=My Life}} produces the anchor {{code|CITEREFSmith2006}}.
===Using CITEREF directly===
{{Shortcut|WP:CITEREF}}
A few articles create a custom ID using {{code|CITEREF}}, either in place of the Harvard citation template (e.g. <code><nowiki>[[#CITEREFSmith2006|(2006)]]</nowiki></code>) or as a value for {{para|ref}} in the citation template.
{{Refname rules|A custom ID must follow these rules:|
* If CITEREF is used, then spaces in the {{para|ref}} field must be replaced with underscores}}
Examples:
* {{tlx|sfn|{{var|cite name}}|{{var|year}}}}
* {{tlx|cite book|2=ref=CITEREF{{var|cite_nameyear}}}}
* {{tlx|cite book|2=ref={{tl|sfnref|{{var|cite_name}}|{{var|year}}}}}}
Where {{var|cite_name}} is a name such as the publisher.
To avoid the sometimes difficult to remember syntax for links to CITEREF anchors, {{tl|citeref}} can be used to create internal wikilinks with either small superscript-style labels (like this<sup>[n]</sup>) or plain free-text labels to such anchors. It can be used inside of other citations.
Note that the {{code|CITEREF}} prefix is necessary for the [[mw:Reference Tooltips|reference tooltips gadget]] ([[MediaWiki:Gadget-ReferenceTooltips.js]]) to detect that a link goes to a citation.
===[[Template:sfn|<code><nowiki>{{sfn}}</nowiki></code>]]'s [[WP:REFNAME|ref name]]===
Template {{tl2|sfn}} creates a [[WP:REFNAME|named footnote]], so that identical footnotes are combined automatically. The footnote name begins with {{code|FOOTNOTE}} followed by a concatenation of the arguments to {{tl2|sfn}}. E.g.: this template call {{tlx|sfn|Smith|2006|4=p=26}} should have exactly the same functionality as {{tag|ref|params=name="FOOTNOTESmith200626"|content={{tl|Harvnb|Smith|2006|4=p=26}}.}} which, in turn, has the same functionality as {{tag|ref|params=name="FOOTNOTESmith200626"|content=<nowiki>[[#CITEREFSmith2006|Smith (2006)]], p.&nbsp;26.</nowiki>}}.
{{anchor|url weirdness}}
The ref name becomes more complicated when the page (p) parameter includes a URL, e.g. {{tlg|sfn|Joyce|1903|p{{=}}[https://archive.org/details/aconcisehistory00joycgoog/page/n226 213]|code=on}}, which, once defined, can be called by {{tag|ref|empty|params=name="FOOTNOTEJoyce1903[httpsarchiveorgdetailsaconcisehistory00joycgoogpagen226 213]"}}. The "p=" and the characters |,:,.,/,?,=; are therefore stripped out of the URL. The content of the loc parameter is similarly appended after this.
The call to {{tl2|harvnb}} has been [[subst]]'ed for quicker load times.

{{Lua|Module:Footnotes|Module:Check for unknown parameters}}
The '''shortened footnote template''' {{tl|sfn}} creates a short [[WP:Citing sources#Short citations|author–date citation]] in a [[Wikipedia:Citing sources|footnote]], with a one-directional link to the first matching [[Wikipedia:Citation templates|citation template]] on the same page. It will combine identical footnotes automatically.
It is used to create {{sfnote|lc=y}}, a [[WP:CITESTYLE|citation style]] which pairs a short, author-date citation in a footnote with a [[WP:HOWCITE|complete citation]] in the references section at the end of the article (see example [[#Example|below]]). This citation style is used to simplify multiple citations to the same source and to reduce clutter in the edit window.
Common problems and known workarounds are given in the sections below. Use the table of contents to find what you need.
Note that the use (or even non-use) of these templates is an element of citation "style", and adding or removing them in articles with an established style should be consistent with that style. See [[WP:CITEVAR]].
==Usage==
'''Sfn''' generates an "author-date" style short-cite from the following parameters:
<div style="margin-left: 2em"><code>{{<nowiki>sfn</nowiki>| <{{var|last1}}*> | <{{var|last2}}> | <{{var|last3}}> | <{{var|last4}}> | <{{var|year}}*> | p= <{{var|page}}> | loc= <{{var|location}}> }}</code></div>
with
* <{{var|last1}}> – required; surname of first author or corporate author
* <{{var|last2}}>–<{{var|last4}}> – positional parameters; surnames of next three authors; required if available in the full citation
* <{{var|year}}> – required; four-digit year; may have a lowercase disambiguation letter, like {{pval|2012a}}
* {{para|p}} – specific page referenced in the source (alias: {{para|page}}{{hairspace}})
* {{para|pp}} – comma-separated list of [[Template:Csdoc#pages|individual pages and / or range(s) of pages]] referenced in the source (alias: {{para|pages}}{{hairspace}})
* {{para|loc}} – in-source location when {{para|p}} and {{para|pp}} are inappropriate; may be used to supplement {{para|p}} and {{para|pp}}; information such as a section or figure number. (alias: {{para|at}}{{hairspace}})
=== Example ===
Typical usage is shown in the example below. The text and the footnote are connected by a bi-directional link – clicking on the superscript takes the reader to the footnote, clicking on the footnote number takes them back to the superscript. The clicking on the short citation takes them to the full citation in the references section.
'''Sfn''' will also automatically combine identical footnotes.

Template '''sfn''' is not placed inside {{tag|ref}} tags and generates the footnote internally. (To place '''sfn''' in a footnote, see [[#A citation inside an explanatory footnote|putting a citation inside a footnote]], below.)
===Parameters===
====Author(s) and year====
The first four author surnames (or all authors if fewer than four; use the values from {{para|last''N''}} or {{para|author''N''}}{{hairspace}}) are required, followed by the year of publication (from {{para|year}} or {{para|date}}). Authors past the fourth must be omitted or an error will result.
The [[#Possible issues with author-date link|possible issues]] section below describes workarounds for various common problems, such as [[#Large number of authors|large number of authors]], [[#No author name in citation template|no author name]], [[#More than one work in a year|multiple works in the same year]], [[#Two sources with same last names and years|Two sources with same last names and years]] and others.

Use {{para|p}} for single pages; use {{para|pp}} for multiple pages (such as ranges). Use of {{para|p}} for multiple pages or {{para|pp}} for single pages can cause [[Help:Cite errors/Cite error references duplicate key|cite errors]].
{{para|loc}} can be used to specify a location in the source in another way, such as section numbers or chapters. It can also be combined with {{para|p}} or {{para|pp}}.

==Possible issues with author-date link==
{{for|information on how to turn on error messages for broken links|:Category:Harv and Sfn template errors}}
These are techniques that address various unusual difficulties with the link between the short citation and the full citation.
===Custom anchors===
A custom anchor using {{tl|sfnref}} can, at least temporarily, always make the shortened footnote look exactly the way you would like and still have a link that works. Many of the problems and workarounds below require a custom anchor.
All CS1 citation templates and several other templates allow you to set a custom anchor with parameter {{para|ref}}. The template {{tl|sfnRef}} creates an anchor that will match {{tl|sfn}}'s if it has the same parameters as {{tl|sfn}}. To use this technique, choose the name and year you would like to appear in {{tl|sfn}}, copy these parameters into {{tl|sfnRef}} and set {{tl|ref}} to the {{tl|sfnRef}}.
In other words, if you want this:
* {{tl2|sfn|<*''name you want''>|<''year''>|<''page / location''>}}
then set this:
* {{para|ref|{{tl2|sfnRef|<''name you want''>|<''year''>}}}}
in the template, and the link should work correctly.
The parameters must be <em>identical</em> in every respect. If the year is unusual (i.e. not a number), then include the year in the name and don't use the year position.
===Large number of authors===
If there are more than four authors, the first four authors' surnames (the value in {{para|last}} or {{para|author}}) are required by the template. Listing more authors is not supported. It is also possible to use a [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]] that sets the name field to "Smith et. al.".

}}}}
===More than one work in a year===
Where there is a need to cite more than one work ''by the same author published in the same year'', the standard way to disambiguate such works is to add a letter suffix after the year, e.g. "Smith 2006a" and "Smith 2006b".
Set the year element of the {{tlc|sfn}} templates (e.g. {{tlc|sfn|Smith|2006a}} and {{tlc|sfn|Smith|2006a}}), and add the disambiguation letter to the matching full citation, (e.g. <code><nowiki>{{cite book|...|last=Smith|date=2006b}}</nowiki></code>).
When {{tlc|sfn}} is used with {{tlx|citation}} or {{cs1}} templates, a year-suffix letter may be added to {{para|date}} for all accepted date formats except year-initial numeric ({{small|YYYY-MM-DD}}). It is not necessary to include both {{para|date}} and {{para|year}} (see exception [[#NB_YEAR|below]]). If both are included, {{para|year}} is used for the <code>CITEREF</code> anchor to be compliant with legacy citations.
:{{para|date|2013a}}: simple year only dates
:{{para|date|Jan 2013b}} or {{para|date|Winter 2013b}}: month or season and year dates
:{{para|date|9 November 2013b}} or {{para|date|November 9, 2013b}}: full dates
:{{para|date|June–July 2013c}} or {{para|date|Winter–Spring 2013c}}: month or season ranges and year dates
:{{para|date|c. 2013d}}: circa year dates
:{{para|date|{{#time:Y}}–{{#time:Y|now +1 year}}e}} or {{para|date|Summer {{#time:Y}}–{{#time:y|now +1 year}}e}}: year ranges
:{{para|date|n.d.f}}: no date (n.d.)
:{{anchor|NB_YEAR}}<s>{{para|date|2013g-11-09}}</s>: not supported, the template must use {{para|year|2013g}}. If month and day should be part of the citation as well, both parameters need to be given: {{para|date|2013-11-09}} {{para|year|2013x}}. In this case, {{para|date}} is used for citation display and metadata purposes, and {{para|year}} for link disambiguation.

===Two sources with same last names and years ===
An article might cite works from the same year by two different authors with the same last name. For example, an article might cite psychoanalysts [[Anna Freud]] and [[Sigmund Freud]], who both wrote books in the same year.
There are two solutions: it's possible to use the same technique described in the previous section. To differentiate between the two books, the first one can be given the year "1928a" and the second one "1928b".
Or, you can create a [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]] that adds an initial to the name fields, e.g. "A. Freud" and "S. Freud". The links will no longer conflict.

===Citation template has no year but has a date===
Either the {{para|date}} or {{para|year}} of a citation template can be matched—the template logic can extract the year from a full date. If the date parameter is not a full date, then the extraction will fail. If the link does not seem to work, it also possible to set both {{para|date}} and {{para|year}} parameters. The template will display the date and use the year for the anchor. These two examples show a year being successfully extracted from full date.

===Citation template has no date===
If the cited source does not have a date, you can use {{para|date|n.d.}} for the full citation and "n.d." in place of the date for the short citation:
{{markup
|<nowiki>This is a fact.{{sfn|Smith|n.d.}}
==Notes==
{{reflist}}
==References==
* {{Citation |last=Smith |title=Title |date=n.d. |publisher=Publisher |mode=cs1}}</nowiki>

{{reflist}}
{{fake heading|sub=3|References}}
* {{Citation |last=Smith |title=Title |date=n.d. |publisher=Publisher |mode=cs1}}
}}
===Citation template has no author name===
Some sources do not have a single author with a last name, such as a magazine article or a report from a government institution. There is no consensus (in Wikipedia or among citation styles) about how to format author–date citations for works that do not have a specific author. Several choices are:
# The title of the article, or a shortened form of the title, is recommended by some style guides.
# For a newspaper or periodical, you may use the name of the paper and the date.
# For a publication by an institution, use either:
## The initials of the institution
## The name of the institution
# Other style guides recommend using "Anonymous" or "Anon."
An article should adopt one of these styles consistently.
Use a [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]] to replace set the author name to one of these other choices, as shown in these examples below.

=== Citation template has no author, date or title ===
If the cited source does not have a date, author, or title, place a description of the source within brackets for the {{para|title}} parameter, use {{para|date|n.d.}} and create [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]] with the description in the name position and "n.d." in the year.

You could also use CITEREF directly with a concatenation of <code>#CITEREF</code> plus the parameters passed to the Harvard citation template.
===Citation template does not support any kind of anchor===
{{See section|Wikipedia:Citation templates and reference anchors|Citation templates that create anchors}}
There are a few templates that do not support any kind of anchor, including {{tl|cite report}}, {{tl|cite music release notes}}, {{tl|cite DVD-notes}}, {{tl|cite episode}} and others.
It is possible to use {{tl|wikicite}} to create an anchor. It has a {{para|ref}} parameter which can be set to a [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]]. In this example, the publisher is considered the editor.

===No citation template ===
If the citation is handwritten you should consider the citation format of the article. If citation templates are used often in this article, then check [[WP:Citation templates]] and try to find one that works for this source. If no template can be found, then this may be a source which can't be represented in our citation templates.
Use {{tl2|wikicite}} to make an anchor, setting Wikicite's {{para|ref}} to a [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]].

===Wikilink to citation does not work===
If an article is using this template, and nothing happens when you click on the highlighted [[wikilink]] from a [[WP:SHORTCITE|short citation]] using a template to a [[WP:SHORTCITE|full citation]] at the bottom of the page, there are several possible solutions. If:
# Templates like this one are rarely used in this article. '''Solution''': Remove this template and format the citation in the style used most often in the article.
# The correct full citation does ''not'' appear at the bottom of the article. '''Solution''': Find the source (it may be copied from an article on a similar subject), and check that it verifies the text. If the source can't be found, replace this template with {{tl2|citation not found}}.
# The correct full citation appears at the bottom of the article, and
## The full citation uses a template from the list at [[Help:Citation Style 1|Citation Style 1]]:
### The name in the short citation is spelled or capitalized differently than in the full citation. '''Solution''': Check the source for the correct spelling, and use the same spelling, spacing, and capitalization in both the short and full citations.
### The template does not have an author's or an editor's, last name (authors take precedence over editors). '''Solution''': See [[#No author name in citation template|§No author name in citation template]], above.
### There is more than one full citation with the same last name(s) and year. '''Solution''': See [[#More than one work in a year|§More than one work in a year]].
### The year is different here than the full citation. '''Solution''': Check the source for the correct year, and use the same year in both the short and full citations.
### The template has a {{para|date}} field and no {{para|year}} field, but the format of the {{para|date}} field is unusual. '''Solution''': Try to fix the date. If the link still does not work, add {{para|year}} to the citation template. (It's okay if it has both.)
### The template does not have a year, or the year is set to "n.d." (no date). '''Solution''': Set the date field of this template to "n.d.".
##The citation template doesn't automatically create the anchor, but has {{para|ref}}. '''Solution''': See [[#Citation template doesn't automatically create the anchor|§Citation template doesn't automatically create the anchor]], above.
##The citation template doesn't support anchors at all. '''Solution''': See [[#Citation format does not support any kind of anchor|§Citation format does not support any kind of anchor]], above.
##The full citation is handwritten.
### There are no other citation templates in the article. This is probably because local editors prefer it that way. '''Solution''': You should adapt to the style of the article. This would probably entail removing this template and formatting the short citation in plain text or replacing it with a full citation in {{tag|ref}} tags.
### There are citation templates used liberally throughout the article. '''Solution''': Reformat the source with the appropriate {{cite *}} template (and set the {{para|ref}} appropriately, if necessary).
### The full citation is handwritten because the source can't be represented by our citation templates at all. '''Solution''': See [[#Citation format does not support any kind of anchor|§Citation format does not support any kind of anchor]], above.
Templates that have broken [[wikilink]]s using these templates are added to the category {{cat|All articles with broken links to citations}}.
== Techniques and variations ==
{{anchor|Additional comments or quotes}}
=== Adding additional comments or quotes ===
The templates {{tl2|harvnb}} or {{tl2|harvtxt}} can be used to add quotes or additional comments into the footnote, in the form of in-text attributions.
{{markup
|<nowiki>
Some information.<ref>{{harvnb|Smith|2011|p=2}}: "A quote verifying the information."</ref>
== Notes ==

}}
===Citations inside explanatory footnotes===
Sometimes an explanatory footnote requires a citation. There are several acceptable solutions.
It is currently disputed (June 2026) whether parenthetical referencing (or narrative referencing, i.e. in-text attribution serving as referencing) is deprecated inside {{tag|ref}} tags used for explanatory footnotes.
Citations using {{tl1|sfn}} can't be directly embedded between {{tag|ref}} tags, because the following message will be produced: {{small|{{error|Cite error references missing group||nocat=true}}}}. But {{tl1|sfn}} can be used with templates {{tl1|efn}} and {{tl1|notelist}}, which separates the explanatory footnotes from the short citations, as shown in this example. (See also [[Chinese Room]], which is an article that makes extensive use of this technique.)

===Adding a URL for the page or location===
If a specific link to the page or section is available, a [[Uniform Resource Locator|URL]] can be added to the location or page number.
{{markup
|<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">Article text.{{sfn|Smith|2011|p=[https://en.wikipedia.org 3]}}

(See [[#url weirdness|below]] for a potential issue with this technique.)
===Bundled citations===
{{see also|Help:Citation merging |Wikipedia:Citing sources#Bundling citations}}

}}
===Multiple lists of inline citations===
Sometimes there is a need to create two or more separate lists of inline footnotes. For example some family trees are contained in templates, they are transluded into several biographies, and they have their own self contained citations (see [[Template:Houston family tree]] and the article [[Margaret Lea Houston]]).
To facilitate this, while the main page uses the standard 1,2,3 footnote counting, it is common for family trees to use the efn template with a group parameter set—for example {{tlx|efn-lg}} (lower-greek). The efn templates are text templates, to link some or all of the content of the efn template to a long citation template such as {{tlx|cite book}} place {{tlx|harvnb}} or {{tlx|harv}} within the efn template.

{{anchor|Ps problems}}
== Other parameters ==
These parameters were designed to handle special cases that are better handled by other techniques.
===Parameter {{para|ps}}===
These templates have a parameter {{para|ps}}, designed to hold quotes and explanations.
Two or more {{tlc|sfn}} templates with the same authors, same year, and same page, but different {{para|ps}} will result in a {{small|{{error|Cite error: The named reference ... was defined multiple times with different content}}}} message. This message happens because the reference names that {{tlc|sfn}} creates will be the same, but the content between the {{tag|ref|params=name="FOOTNOTE..."|o}} tag and the {{tag|ref|c}} tag will be different.
A workaround is to convert the offending {{tlc|sfn}} templates to {{tlx|harvnb}} wrapped in {{tag|ref}} tags, as recommended in [[#Additional comments or quotes|§ Adding additional comments or quotes]]. This method is more versatile and robust.
Template {{para|ps}} also has a second (rare) use, when setting {{para|ps|none}}, which suppressed the final period. See [[#Variations in the format of the author-date citation|§ Variations in the format of the author-date citation]].
===Parameter {{para|ref}}===
The optional parameter {{para|ref}} was used to create an unusually named link from the short citation to the full citation. This typically would require setting the hand coded link on the full citation as well. It's easier to only set the link of the full citation to {{para|ref|{{tl2|sfnref}}}}.
If you specify {{para|ref|none}}, no hyperlink is created. However, if one does not want the link, it is always possible to simply use plain text instead of the template.
The parameter only appears in <nowiki>{{harv*}}</nowiki> templates, and may still appear in a few articles.
==Open problems==
===Link works but displays a no target error===
When a short-cite template links to a full citation that is rendered by a template that wraps a CS1 template, like {{txl|cite DNB}} (which wraps {{txl|cite encyclopedia}}), a {{error-small|no target}} error may be displayed even when the short-cite template is valid and the link works. That is a "false positive" error. The error message can be suppressed by adding {{para|ignore-err|yes}} to the template, or by adding the template {{t|Sfn whitelist}} with the anchor ID(s) to the article. If you are testing changes in [[Special:ExpandTemplates]] and the error message cannot be suppressed, try testing in a sandbox or user subpage instead.
==={{ucfirst:sfn}} embedded in list-defined ref does not work===
If you [[Help:Footnotes#embedding references|embed]] an {{ucfirst:sfn}} 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}}.
==Implementation notes==
These templates use two elements: a [[wikilink]] in the body of the article, and an [[WP:ANCHOR DEF|anchor]] in the reference section of the article. Clicking on the wikilink repositions the page at the anchor.
===Citation template [[HTML element#Links and anchors|anchor]]===
{{See also|Wikipedia:Citation templates and reference anchors}}
The most common citation templates are {{cs1}} or {{cs2}}. By default, [[Module:Citation/CS1]] creates an [[HTML element#Links and anchors|anchor]] {{tag|a|o|params=name="CITEREF"}} followed by the concatenation of the following parameters:
* '''last''' or '''last1''' or '''surname''' or '''surname1''' or '''author-last''' or '''author-last1''' or '''author1-last''' or '''author-surname''' or '''author-surname1''' or '''author1-surname''' or '''author''' or '''author1''' or '''authors''',
* '''last2''' or '''surname2''' or '''author-last2''' or '''author2-last''' or '''author-surname2''' or '''author2-surname''' or '''author2''',
* '''last3''' or '''surname3''' or '''author-last3''' or '''author3-last''' or '''author-surname3''' or '''author3-surname''' or '''author3''',
* '''last4''' or '''surname4''' or '''author-last4''' or '''author4-last''' or '''author-surname4''' or '''author4-surname''' or '''author4''',
* '''editor-last''' or '''editor-last1''' or '''editor1-last''' or '''editor-surname''' or '''editor-surname1''' or '''editor1-surname''' or '''editor1''' or '''editor''',
* '''editor-last2''' or '''editor2-last''' or '''editor-surname2''' or '''editor2-surname''' or '''editor2''',
* '''editor-last3''' or '''editor3-last''' or '''editor-surname3''' or '''editor3-surname''' or '''editor3''',
* '''editor-last4''' or '''editor4-last''' or '''editor-surname4''' or '''editor4-surname''' or '''editor4''',
* '''date''', '''year'''
This covers the most common templates. Information about all of the templates is available at [[Wikipedia:Citation templates and reference anchors]].
Use of the '''date''' parameter in place of the '''year''' parameter in citation templates is preferred.
===Harvard citation wikilink===
The Harvard citation templates create a [[wikilink]] to the anchor. For example {{tlx|Harv|Smith|2006|4=p=25}} produces the link {{code|#CITEREFSmith2006}} and {{tlx|Citation|2=last=Smith|3=first=John|4=date=27 January 2006|5=title=My Life}} produces the anchor {{code|CITEREFSmith2006}}.
===Using CITEREF directly===
{{Shortcut|WP:CITEREF}}
A few articles create a custom ID using {{code|CITEREF}}, either in place of the Harvard citation template (e.g. <code><nowiki>[[#CITEREFSmith2006|(2006)]]</nowiki></code>) or as a value for {{para|ref}} in the citation template.
{{Refname rules|A custom ID must follow these rules:|
* If CITEREF is used, then spaces in the {{para|ref}} field must be replaced with underscores}}
Examples:
* {{tlx|sfn|{{var|cite name}}|{{var|year}}}}
* {{tlx|cite book|2=ref=CITEREF{{var|cite_nameyear}}}}
* {{tlx|cite book|2=ref={{tl|sfnref|{{var|cite_name}}|{{var|year}}}}}}
Where {{var|cite_name}} is a name such as the publisher.
To avoid the sometimes difficult to remember syntax for links to CITEREF anchors, {{tl|citeref}} can be used to create internal wikilinks with either small superscript-style labels (like this<sup>[n]</sup>) or plain free-text labels to such anchors. It can be used inside of other citations.
Note that the {{code|CITEREF}} prefix is necessary for the [[mw:Reference Tooltips|reference tooltips gadget]] ([[MediaWiki:Gadget-ReferenceTooltips.js]]) to detect that a link goes to a citation.
===[[Template:sfn|<code><nowiki>{{sfn}}</nowiki></code>]]'s [[WP:REFNAME|ref name]]===
Template {{tl2|sfn}} creates a [[WP:REFNAME|named footnote]], so that identical footnotes are combined automatically. The footnote name begins with {{code|FOOTNOTE}} followed by a concatenation of the arguments to {{tl2|sfn}}. E.g.: this template call {{tlx|sfn|Smith|2006|4=p=26}} should have exactly the same functionality as {{tag|ref|params=name="FOOTNOTESmith200626"|content={{tl|Harvnb|Smith|2006|4=p=26}}.}} which, in turn, has the same functionality as {{tag|ref|params=name="FOOTNOTESmith200626"|content=<nowiki>[[#CITEREFSmith2006|Smith (2006)]], p.&nbsp;26.</nowiki>}}.

The ref name becomes more complicated when the page (p) parameter includes a URL, e.g. {{tlg|sfn|Joyce|1903|p{{=}}[https://archive.org/details/aconcisehistory00joycgoog/page/n226 213]|code=on}}, which, once defined, can be called by {{tag|ref|empty|params=name="FOOTNOTEJoyce1903[httpsarchiveorgdetailsaconcisehistory00joycgoogpagen226 213]"}}. The "p=" and the characters |,:,.,/,?,=; are therefore stripped out of the URL. The content of the loc parameter is similarly appended after this.
The call to {{tl2|harvnb}} has been [[subst]]'ed for quicker load times.

{{Lua|Module:Footnotes|Module:Check for unknown parameters}}
The '''shortened footnote template''' {{tl|sfn}} creates a short [[WP:Citing sources#Short citations|author–date citation]] in a [[Wikipedia:Citing sources|footnote]], with a one-directional link to the first matching [[Wikipedia:Citation templates|citation template]] on the same page. It will combine identical footnotes automatically.
It is used to create {{sfnote|lc=y}}, a [[WP:CITESTYLE|citation style]] which pairs a short, author-date citation in a footnote with a [[WP:HOWCITE|complete citation]] in the references section at the end of the article (see example [[#Example|below]]). This citation style is used to simplify multiple citations to the same source and to reduce clutter in the edit window.
Common problems and known workarounds are given in the sections below. Use the table of contents to find what you need.
Note that the use (or even non-use) of these templates is an element of citation "style", and adding or removing them in articles with an established style should be consistent with that style. See [[WP:CITEVAR]].
==Usage==
'''Sfn''' generates an "author-date" style short-cite from the following parameters:
<div style="margin-left: 2em"><code>{{<nowiki>sfn</nowiki>| <{{var|last1}}*> | <{{var|last2}}> | <{{var|last3}}> | <{{var|last4}}> | <{{var|year}}*> | p= <{{var|page}}> | loc= <{{var|location}}> }}</code></div>
with
* <{{var|last1}}> – required; surname of first author or corporate author
* <{{var|last2}}>–<{{var|last4}}> – positional parameters; surnames of next three authors; required if available in the full citation
* <{{var|year}}> – required; four-digit year; may have a lowercase disambiguation letter, like {{pval|2012a}}
* {{para|p}} – specific page referenced in the source (alias: {{para|page}}{{hairspace}})
* {{para|pp}} – comma-separated list of [[Template:Csdoc#pages|individual pages and / or range(s) of pages]] referenced in the source (alias: {{para|pages}}{{hairspace}})
* {{para|loc}} – in-source location when {{para|p}} and {{para|pp}} are inappropriate; may be used to supplement {{para|p}} and {{para|pp}}; information such as a section or figure number. (alias: {{para|at}}{{hairspace}})
=== Example ===
Typical usage is shown in the example below. The text and the footnote are connected by a bi-directional link – clicking on the superscript takes the reader to the footnote, clicking on the footnote number takes them back to the superscript. The clicking on the short citation takes them to the full citation in the references section.
'''Sfn''' will also automatically combine identical footnotes.

Template '''sfn''' is not placed inside {{tag|ref}} tags and generates the footnote internally. (To place '''sfn''' in a footnote, see [[#A citation inside an explanatory footnote|putting a citation inside a footnote]], below.)
===Parameters===
====Author(s) and year====
The first four author surnames (or all authors if fewer than four; use the values from {{para|last''N''}} or {{para|author''N''}}{{hairspace}}) are required, followed by the year of publication (from {{para|year}} or {{para|date}}). Authors past the fourth must be omitted or an error will result.
The [[#Possible issues with author-date link|possible issues]] section below describes workarounds for various common problems, such as [[#Large number of authors|large number of authors]], [[#No author name in citation template|no author name]], [[#More than one work in a year|multiple works in the same year]], [[#Two sources with same last names and years|Two sources with same last names and years]] and others.

Use {{para|p}} for single pages; use {{para|pp}} for multiple pages (such as ranges). Use of {{para|p}} for multiple pages or {{para|pp}} for single pages can cause [[Help:Cite errors/Cite error references duplicate key|cite errors]].
{{para|loc}} can be used to specify a location in the source in another way, such as section numbers or chapters. It can also be combined with {{para|p}} or {{para|pp}}.

==Possible issues with author-date link==
{{for|information on how to turn on error messages for broken links|:Category:Harv and Sfn template errors}}
These are techniques that address various unusual difficulties with the link between the short citation and the full citation.
===Custom anchors===
A custom anchor using {{tl|sfnref}} can, at least temporarily, always make the shortened footnote look exactly the way you would like and still have a link that works. Many of the problems and workarounds below require a custom anchor.
All CS1 citation templates and several other templates allow you to set a custom anchor with parameter {{para|ref}}. The template {{tl|sfnRef}} creates an anchor that will match {{tl|sfn}}'s if it has the same parameters as {{tl|sfn}}. To use this technique, choose the name and year you would like to appear in {{tl|sfn}}, copy these parameters into {{tl|sfnRef}} and set {{tl|ref}} to the {{tl|sfnRef}}.
In other words, if you want this:
* {{tl2|sfn|<*''name you want''>|<''year''>|<''page / location''>}}
then set this:
* {{para|ref|{{tl2|sfnRef|<''name you want''>|<''year''>}}}}
in the template, and the link should work correctly.
The parameters must be <em>identical</em> in every respect. If the year is unusual (i.e. not a number), then include the year in the name and don't use the year position.
===Large number of authors===
If there are more than four authors, the first four authors' surnames (the value in {{para|last}} or {{para|author}}) are required by the template. Listing more authors is not supported. It is also possible to use a [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]] that sets the name field to "Smith et. al.".

}}}}
===More than one work in a year===
Where there is a need to cite more than one work ''by the same author published in the same year'', the standard way to disambiguate such works is to add a letter suffix after the year, e.g. "Smith 2006a" and "Smith 2006b".
Set the year element of the {{tlc|sfn}} templates (e.g. {{tlc|sfn|Smith|2006a}} and {{tlc|sfn|Smith|2006a}}), and add the disambiguation letter to the matching full citation, (e.g. <code><nowiki>{{cite book|...|last=Smith|date=2006b}}</nowiki></code>).
When {{tlc|sfn}} is used with {{tlx|citation}} or {{cs1}} templates, a year-suffix letter may be added to {{para|date}} for all accepted date formats except year-initial numeric ({{small|YYYY-MM-DD}}). It is not necessary to include both {{para|date}} and {{para|year}} (see exception [[#NB_YEAR|below]]). If both are included, {{para|year}} is used for the <code>CITEREF</code> anchor to be compliant with legacy citations.
:{{para|date|2013a}}: simple year only dates
:{{para|date|Jan 2013b}} or {{para|date|Winter 2013b}}: month or season and year dates
:{{para|date|9 November 2013b}} or {{para|date|November 9, 2013b}}: full dates
:{{para|date|June–July 2013c}} or {{para|date|Winter–Spring 2013c}}: month or season ranges and year dates
:{{para|date|c. 2013d}}: circa year dates
:{{para|date|{{#time:Y}}–{{#time:Y|now +1 year}}e}} or {{para|date|Summer {{#time:Y}}–{{#time:y|now +1 year}}e}}: year ranges
:{{para|date|n.d.f}}: no date (n.d.)
:{{anchor|NB_YEAR}}<s>{{para|date|2013g-11-09}}</s>: not supported, the template must use {{para|year|2013g}}. If month and day should be part of the citation as well, both parameters need to be given: {{para|date|2013-11-09}} {{para|year|2013x}}. In this case, {{para|date}} is used for citation display and metadata purposes, and {{para|year}} for link disambiguation.

===Two sources with same last names and years ===
An article might cite works from the same year by two different authors with the same last name. For example, an article might cite psychoanalysts [[Anna Freud]] and [[Sigmund Freud]], who both wrote books in the same year.
There are two solutions: it's possible to use the same technique described in the previous section. To differentiate between the two books, the first one can be given the year "1928a" and the second one "1928b".
Or, you can create a [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]] that adds an initial to the name fields, e.g. "A. Freud" and "S. Freud". The links will no longer conflict.

===Citation template has no year but has a date===
Either the {{para|date}} or {{para|year}} of a citation template can be matched—the template logic can extract the year from a full date. If the date parameter is not a full date, then the extraction will fail. If the link does not seem to work, it also possible to set both {{para|date}} and {{para|year}} parameters. The template will display the date and use the year for the anchor. These two examples show a year being successfully extracted from full date.

===Citation template has no date===
If the cited source does not have a date, you can use {{para|date|n.d.}} for the full citation and "n.d." in place of the date for the short citation:
{{markup
|<nowiki>This is a fact.{{sfn|Smith|n.d.}}
==Notes==
{{reflist}}
==References==
* {{Citation |last=Smith |title=Title |date=n.d. |publisher=Publisher |mode=cs1}}</nowiki>

{{fake heading|sub=3|Notes}}
{{reflist}}
{{fake heading|sub=3|References}}
* {{Citation |last=Smith |title=Title |date=n.d. |publisher=Publisher |mode=cs1}}
}}
===Citation template has no author name===
Some sources do not have a single author with a last name, such as a magazine article or a report from a government institution. There is no consensus (in Wikipedia or among citation styles) about how to format author–date citations for works that do not have a specific author. Several choices are:
# The title of the article, or a shortened form of the title, is recommended by some style guides.
# For a newspaper or periodical, you may use the name of the paper and the date.
# For a publication by an institution, use either:
## The initials of the institution
## The name of the institution
# Other style guides recommend using "Anonymous" or "Anon."
An article should adopt one of these styles consistently.
Use a [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]] to replace set the author name to one of these other choices, as shown in these examples below.

=== Citation template has no author, date or title ===

You could also use CITEREF directly with a concatenation of <code>#CITEREF</code> plus the parameters passed to the Harvard citation template.
===Citation template does not support any kind of anchor===
{{See section|Wikipedia:Citation templates and reference anchors|Citation templates that create anchors}}
There are a few templates that do not support any kind of anchor, including {{tl|cite report}}, {{tl|cite music release notes}}, {{tl|cite DVD-notes}}, {{tl|cite episode}} and others.
It is possible to use {{tl|wikicite}} to create an anchor. It has a {{para|ref}} parameter which can be set to a [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]]. In this example, the publisher is considered the editor.

===No citation template ===
If the citation is handwritten you should consider the citation format of the article. If citation templates are used often in this article, then check [[WP:Citation templates]] and try to find one that works for this source. If no template can be found, then this may be a source which can't be represented in our citation templates.
Use {{tl2|wikicite}} to make an anchor, setting Wikicite's {{para|ref}} to a [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]].

===Wikilink to citation does not work===
If an article is using this template, and nothing happens when you click on the highlighted [[wikilink]] from a [[WP:SHORTCITE|short citation]] using a template to a [[WP:SHORTCITE|full citation]] at the bottom of the page, there are several possible solutions. If:
# Templates like this one are rarely used in this article. '''Solution''': Remove this template and format the citation in the style used most often in the article.
# The correct full citation does ''not'' appear at the bottom of the article. '''Solution''': Find the source (it may be copied from an article on a similar subject), and check that it verifies the text. If the source can't be found, replace this template with {{tl2|citation not found}}.
# The correct full citation appears at the bottom of the article, and
## The full citation uses a template from the list at [[Help:Citation Style 1|Citation Style 1]]:
### The name in the short citation is spelled or capitalized differently than in the full citation. '''Solution''': Check the source for the correct spelling, and use the same spelling, spacing, and capitalization in both the short and full citations.
### The template does not have an author's or an editor's, last name (authors take precedence over editors). '''Solution''': See [[#No author name in citation template|§No author name in citation template]], above.
### There is more than one full citation with the same last name(s) and year. '''Solution''': See [[#More than one work in a year|§More than one work in a year]].
### The year is different here than the full citation. '''Solution''': Check the source for the correct year, and use the same year in both the short and full citations.
### The template has a {{para|date}} field and no {{para|year}} field, but the format of the {{para|date}} field is unusual. '''Solution''': Try to fix the date. If the link still does not work, add {{para|year}} to the citation template. (It's okay if it has both.)
### The template does not have a year, or the year is set to "n.d." (no date). '''Solution''': Set the date field of this template to "n.d.".
##The citation template doesn't automatically create the anchor, but has {{para|ref}}. '''Solution''': See [[#Citation template doesn't automatically create the anchor|§Citation template doesn't automatically create the anchor]], above.
##The citation template doesn't support anchors at all. '''Solution''': See [[#Citation format does not support any kind of anchor|§Citation format does not support any kind of anchor]], above.
##The full citation is handwritten.
### There are no other citation templates in the article. This is probably because local editors prefer it that way. '''Solution''': You should adapt to the style of the article. This would probably entail removing this template and formatting the short citation in plain text or replacing it with a full citation in {{tag|ref}} tags.
### There are citation templates used liberally throughout the article. '''Solution''': Reformat the source with the appropriate {{cite *}} template (and set the {{para|ref}} appropriately, if necessary).
### The full citation is handwritten because the source can't be represented by our citation templates at all. '''Solution''': See [[#Citation format does not support any kind of anchor|§Citation format does not support any kind of anchor]], above.
Templates that have broken [[wikilink]]s using these templates are added to the category {{cat|All articles with broken links to citations}}.
== Techniques and variations ==
{{anchor|Additional comments or quotes}}
=== Adding additional comments or quotes ===
The templates {{tl2|harvnb}} or {{tl2|harvtxt}} can be used to add quotes or additional comments into the footnote, in the form of in-text attributions.
{{markup
|<nowiki>
Some information.<ref>{{harvnb|Smith|2011|p=2}}: "A quote verifying the information."</ref>
== Notes ==

}}
===Citations inside explanatory footnotes===
Sometimes an explanatory footnote requires a citation. There are several acceptable solutions.
It is currently disputed (June 2026) whether parenthetical referencing (or narrative referencing, i.e. in-text attribution serving as referencing) is deprecated inside {{tag|ref}} tags used for explanatory footnotes.
Citations using {{tl1|sfn}} can't be directly embedded between {{tag|ref}} tags, because the following message will be produced: {{small|{{error|Cite error references missing group||nocat=true}}}}. But {{tl1|sfn}} can be used with templates {{tl1|efn}} and {{tl1|notelist}}, which separates the explanatory footnotes from the short citations, as shown in this example. (See also [[Chinese Room]], which is an article that makes extensive use of this technique.)

===Adding a URL for the page or location===
If a specific link to the page or section is available, a [[Uniform Resource Locator|URL]] can be added to the location or page number.
{{markup
|<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">Article text.{{sfn|Smith|2011|p=[https://en.wikipedia.org 3]}}

(See [[#url weirdness|below]] for a potential issue with this technique.)
===Bundled citations===
{{see also|Help:Citation merging |Wikipedia:Citing sources#Bundling citations}}

}}
===Multiple lists of inline citations===
Sometimes there is a need to create two or more separate lists of inline footnotes. For example some family trees are contained in templates, they are transluded into several biographies, and they have their own self contained citations (see [[Template:Houston family tree]] and the article [[Margaret Lea Houston]]).
To facilitate this, while the main page uses the standard 1,2,3 footnote counting, it is common for family trees to use the efn template with a group parameter set—for example {{tlx|efn-lg}} (lower-greek). The efn templates are text templates, to link some or all of the content of the efn template to a long citation template such as {{tlx|cite book}} place {{tlx|harvnb}} or {{tlx|harv}} within the efn template.

{{anchor|Ps problems}}
== Other parameters ==
These parameters were designed to handle special cases that are better handled by other techniques.
===Parameter {{para|ps}}===
These templates have a parameter {{para|ps}}, designed to hold quotes and explanations.
Two or more {{tlc|sfn}} templates with the same authors, same year, and same page, but different {{para|ps}} will result in a {{small|{{error|Cite error: The named reference ... was defined multiple times with different content}}}} message. This message happens because the reference names that {{tlc|sfn}} creates will be the same, but the content between the {{tag|ref|params=name="FOOTNOTE..."|o}} tag and the {{tag|ref|c}} tag will be different.
A workaround is to convert the offending {{tlc|sfn}} templates to {{tlx|harvnb}} wrapped in {{tag|ref}} tags, as recommended in [[#Additional comments or quotes|§ Adding additional comments or quotes]]. This method is more versatile and robust.
Template {{para|ps}} also has a second (rare) use, when setting {{para|ps|none}}, which suppressed the final period. See [[#Variations in the format of the author-date citation|§ Variations in the format of the author-date citation]].
===Parameter {{para|ref}}===
The optional parameter {{para|ref}} was used to create an unusually named link from the short citation to the full citation. This typically would require setting the hand coded link on the full citation as well. It's easier to only set the link of the full citation to {{para|ref|{{tl2|sfnref}}}}.
If you specify {{para|ref|none}}, no hyperlink is created. However, if one does not want the link, it is always possible to simply use plain text instead of the template.
The parameter only appears in <nowiki>{{harv*}}</nowiki> templates, and may still appear in a few articles.
==Open problems==
===Link works but displays a no target error===
When a short-cite template links to a full citation that is rendered by a template that wraps a CS1 template, like {{txl|cite DNB}} (which wraps {{txl|cite encyclopedia}}), a {{error-small|no target}} error may be displayed even when the short-cite template is valid and the link works. That is a "false positive" error. The error message can be suppressed by adding {{para|ignore-err|yes}} to the template, or by adding the template {{t|Sfn whitelist}} with the anchor ID(s) to the article. If you are testing changes in [[Special:ExpandTemplates]] and the error message cannot be suppressed, try testing in a sandbox or user subpage instead.
==={{ucfirst:sfn}} embedded in list-defined ref does not work===
If you [[Help:Footnotes#embedding references|embed]] an {{ucfirst:sfn}} 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}}.
==Implementation notes==
These templates use two elements: a [[wikilink]] in the body of the article, and an [[WP:ANCHOR DEF|anchor]] in the reference section of the article. Clicking on the wikilink repositions the page at the anchor.
===Citation template [[HTML element#Links and anchors|anchor]]===
{{See also|Wikipedia:Citation templates and reference anchors}}
The most common citation templates are {{cs1}} or {{cs2}}. By default, [[Module:Citation/CS1]] creates an [[HTML element#Links and anchors|anchor]] {{tag|a|o|params=name="CITEREF"}} followed by the concatenation of the following parameters:
* '''last''' or '''last1''' or '''surname''' or '''surname1''' or '''author-last''' or '''author-last1''' or '''author1-last''' or '''author-surname''' or '''author-surname1''' or '''author1-surname''' or '''author''' or '''author1''' or '''authors''',
* '''last2''' or '''surname2''' or '''author-last2''' or '''author2-last''' or '''author-surname2''' or '''author2-surname''' or '''author2''',
* '''last3''' or '''surname3''' or '''author-last3''' or '''author3-last''' or '''author-surname3''' or '''author3-surname''' or '''author3''',
* '''last4''' or '''surname4''' or '''author-last4''' or '''author4-last''' or '''author-surname4''' or '''author4-surname''' or '''author4''',
* '''editor-last''' or '''editor-last1''' or '''editor1-last''' or '''editor-surname''' or '''editor-surname1''' or '''editor1-surname''' or '''editor1''' or '''editor''',
* '''editor-last2''' or '''editor2-last''' or '''editor-surname2''' or '''editor2-surname''' or '''editor2''',
* '''editor-last3''' or '''editor3-last''' or '''editor-surname3''' or '''editor3-surname''' or '''editor3''',
* '''editor-last4''' or '''editor4-last''' or '''editor-surname4''' or '''editor4-surname''' or '''editor4''',
* '''date''', '''year'''
This covers the most common templates. Information about all of the templates is available at [[Wikipedia:Citation templates and reference anchors]].
Use of the '''date''' parameter in place of the '''year''' parameter in citation templates is preferred.
===Harvard citation wikilink===
The Harvard citation templates create a [[wikilink]] to the anchor. For example {{tlx|Harv|Smith|2006|4=p=25}} produces the link {{code|#CITEREFSmith2006}} and {{tlx|Citation|2=last=Smith|3=first=John|4=date=27 January 2006|5=title=My Life}} produces the anchor {{code|CITEREFSmith2006}}.
===Using CITEREF directly===
{{Shortcut|WP:CITEREF}}
A few articles create a custom ID using {{code|CITEREF}}, either in place of the Harvard citation template (e.g. <code><nowiki>[[#CITEREFSmith2006|(2006)]]</nowiki></code>) or as a value for {{para|ref}} in the citation template.
{{Refname rules|A custom ID must follow these rules:|
* If CITEREF is used, then spaces in the {{para|ref}} field must be replaced with underscores}}
Examples:
* {{tlx|sfn|{{var|cite name}}|{{var|year}}}}
* {{tlx|cite book|2=ref=CITEREF{{var|cite_nameyear}}}}
* {{tlx|cite book|2=ref={{tl|sfnref|{{var|cite_name}}|{{var|year}}}}}}
Where {{var|cite_name}} is a name such as the publisher.
To avoid the sometimes difficult to remember syntax for links to CITEREF anchors, {{tl|citeref}} can be used to create internal wikilinks with either small superscript-style labels (like this<sup>[n]</sup>) or plain free-text labels to such anchors. It can be used inside of other citations.
Note that the {{code|CITEREF}} prefix is necessary for the [[mw:Reference Tooltips|reference tooltips gadget]] ([[MediaWiki:Gadget-ReferenceTooltips.js]]) to detect that a link goes to a citation.
===[[Template:sfn|<code><nowiki>{{sfn}}</nowiki></code>]]'s [[WP:REFNAME|ref name]]===
Template {{tl2|sfn}} creates a [[WP:REFNAME|named footnote]], so that identical footnotes are combined automatically. The footnote name begins with {{code|FOOTNOTE}} followed by a concatenation of the arguments to {{tl2|sfn}}. E.g.: this template call {{tlx|sfn|Smith|2006|4=p=26}} should have exactly the same functionality as {{tag|ref|params=name="FOOTNOTESmith200626"|content={{tl|Harvnb|Smith|2006|4=p=26}}.}} which, in turn, has the same functionality as {{tag|ref|params=name="FOOTNOTESmith200626"|content=<nowiki>[[#CITEREFSmith2006|Smith (2006)]], p.&nbsp;26.</nowiki>}}.

The ref name becomes more complicated when the page (p) parameter includes a URL, e.g. {{tlg|sfn|Joyce|1903|p{{=}}[https://archive.org/details/aconcisehistory00joycgoog/page/n226 213]|code=on}}, which, once defined, can be called by {{tag|ref|empty|params=name="FOOTNOTEJoyce1903[httpsarchiveorgdetailsaconcisehistory00joycgoogpagen226 213]"}}. The "p=" and the characters |,:,.,/,?,=; are therefore stripped out of the URL. The content of the loc parameter is similarly appended after this.
The call to {{tl2|harvnb}} has been [[subst]]'ed for quicker load times.

{{Lua|Module:Footnotes|Module:Check for unknown parameters}}
The '''shortened footnote template''' {{tl|sfn}} creates a short [[WP:Citing sources#Short citations|author–date citation]] in a [[Wikipedia:Citing sources|footnote]], with a one-directional link to the first matching [[Wikipedia:Citation templates|citation template]] on the same page. It will combine identical footnotes automatically.
It is used to create {{sfnote|lc=y}}, a [[WP:CITESTYLE|citation style]] which pairs a short, author-date citation in a footnote with a [[WP:HOWCITE|complete citation]] in the references section at the end of the article (see example [[#Example|below]]). This citation style is used to simplify multiple citations to the same source and to reduce clutter in the edit window.
Common problems and known workarounds are given in the sections below. Use the table of contents to find what you need.
Note that the use (or even non-use) of these templates is an element of citation "style", and adding or removing them in articles with an established style should be consistent with that style. See [[WP:CITEVAR]].
==Usage==
'''Sfn''' generates an "author-date" style short-cite from the following parameters:
<div style="margin-left: 2em"><code>{{<nowiki>sfn</nowiki>| <{{var|last1}}*> | <{{var|last2}}> | <{{var|last3}}> | <{{var|last4}}> | <{{var|year}}*> | p= <{{var|page}}> | loc= <{{var|location}}> }}</code></div>
with
* <{{var|last1}}> – required; surname of first author or corporate author
* <{{var|last2}}>–<{{var|last4}}> – positional parameters; surnames of next three authors; required if available in the full citation
* <{{var|year}}> – required; four-digit year; may have a lowercase disambiguation letter, like {{pval|2012a}}
* {{para|p}} – specific page referenced in the source (alias: {{para|page}}{{hairspace}})
* {{para|pp}} – comma-separated list of [[Template:Csdoc#pages|individual pages and / or range(s) of pages]] referenced in the source (alias: {{para|pages}}{{hairspace}})
* {{para|loc}} – in-source location when {{para|p}} and {{para|pp}} are inappropriate; may be used to supplement {{para|p}} and {{para|pp}}; information such as a section or figure number. (alias: {{para|at}}{{hairspace}})
=== Example ===
Typical usage is shown in the example below. The text and the footnote are connected by a bi-directional link – clicking on the superscript takes the reader to the footnote, clicking on the footnote number takes them back to the superscript. The clicking on the short citation takes them to the full citation in the references section.
'''Sfn''' will also automatically combine identical footnotes.

Template '''sfn''' is not placed inside {{tag|ref}} tags and generates the footnote internally. (To place '''sfn''' in a footnote, see [[#A citation inside an explanatory footnote|putting a citation inside a footnote]], below.)
===Parameters===
====Author(s) and year====
The first four author surnames (or all authors if fewer than four; use the values from {{para|last''N''}} or {{para|author''N''}}{{hairspace}}) are required, followed by the year of publication (from {{para|year}} or {{para|date}}). Authors past the fourth must be omitted or an error will result.
The [[#Possible issues with author-date link|possible issues]] section below describes workarounds for various common problems, such as [[#Large number of authors|large number of authors]], [[#No author name in citation template|no author name]], [[#More than one work in a year|multiple works in the same year]], [[#Two sources with same last names and years|Two sources with same last names and years]] and others.

Use {{para|p}} for single pages; use {{para|pp}} for multiple pages (such as ranges). Use of {{para|p}} for multiple pages or {{para|pp}} for single pages can cause [[Help:Cite errors/Cite error references duplicate key|cite errors]].
{{para|loc}} can be used to specify a location in the source in another way, such as section numbers or chapters. It can also be combined with {{para|p}} or {{para|pp}}.

==Possible issues with author-date link==
{{for|information on how to turn on error messages for broken links|:Category:Harv and Sfn template errors}}
These are techniques that address various unusual difficulties with the link between the short citation and the full citation.
===Custom anchors===
A custom anchor using {{tl|sfnref}} can, at least temporarily, always make the shortened footnote look exactly the way you would like and still have a link that works. Many of the problems and workarounds below require a custom anchor.
All CS1 citation templates and several other templates allow you to set a custom anchor with parameter {{para|ref}}. The template {{tl|sfnRef}} creates an anchor that will match {{tl|sfn}}'s if it has the same parameters as {{tl|sfn}}. To use this technique, choose the name and year you would like to appear in {{tl|sfn}}, copy these parameters into {{tl|sfnRef}} and set {{tl|ref}} to the {{tl|sfnRef}}.
In other words, if you want this:
* {{tl2|sfn|<*''name you want''>|<''year''>|<''page / location''>}}
then set this:
* {{para|ref|{{tl2|sfnRef|<''name you want''>|<''year''>}}}}
in the template, and the link should work correctly.
The parameters must be <em>identical</em> in every respect. If the year is unusual (i.e. not a number), then include the year in the name and don't use the year position.
===Large number of authors===
If there are more than four authors, the first four authors' surnames (the value in {{para|last}} or {{para|author}}) are required by the template. Listing more authors is not supported. It is also possible to use a [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]] that sets the name field to "Smith et. al.".

}}}}
===More than one work in a year===
Where there is a need to cite more than one work ''by the same author published in the same year'', the standard way to disambiguate such works is to add a letter suffix after the year, e.g. "Smith 2006a" and "Smith 2006b".
Set the year element of the {{tlc|sfn}} templates (e.g. {{tlc|sfn|Smith|2006a}} and {{tlc|sfn|Smith|2006a}}), and add the disambiguation letter to the matching full citation, (e.g. <code><nowiki>{{cite book|...|last=Smith|date=2006b}}</nowiki></code>).
When {{tlc|sfn}} is used with {{tlx|citation}} or {{cs1}} templates, a year-suffix letter may be added to {{para|date}} for all accepted date formats except year-initial numeric ({{small|YYYY-MM-DD}}). It is not necessary to include both {{para|date}} and {{para|year}} (see exception [[#NB_YEAR|below]]). If both are included, {{para|year}} is used for the <code>CITEREF</code> anchor to be compliant with legacy citations.
:{{para|date|2013a}}: simple year only dates
:{{para|date|Jan 2013b}} or {{para|date|Winter 2013b}}: month or season and year dates
:{{para|date|9 November 2013b}} or {{para|date|November 9, 2013b}}: full dates
:{{para|date|June–July 2013c}} or {{para|date|Winter–Spring 2013c}}: month or season ranges and year dates
:{{para|date|c. 2013d}}: circa year dates
:{{para|date|{{#time:Y}}–{{#time:Y|now +1 year}}e}} or {{para|date|Summer {{#time:Y}}–{{#time:y|now +1 year}}e}}: year ranges
:{{para|date|n.d.f}}: no date (n.d.)
:{{anchor|NB_YEAR}}<s>{{para|date|2013g-11-09}}</s>: not supported, the template must use {{para|year|2013g}}. If month and day should be part of the citation as well, both parameters need to be given: {{para|date|2013-11-09}} {{para|year|2013x}}. In this case, {{para|date}} is used for citation display and metadata purposes, and {{para|year}} for link disambiguation.

===Two sources with same last names and years ===
An article might cite works from the same year by two different authors with the same last name. For example, an article might cite psychoanalysts [[Anna Freud]] and [[Sigmund Freud]], who both wrote books in the same year.
There are two solutions: it's possible to use the same technique described in the previous section. To differentiate between the two books, the first one can be given the year "1928a" and the second one "1928b".
Or, you can create a [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]] that adds an initial to the name fields, e.g. "A. Freud" and "S. Freud". The links will no longer conflict.

===Citation template has no year but has a date===
Either the {{para|date}} or {{para|year}} of a citation template can be matched—the template logic can extract the year from a full date. If the date parameter is not a full date, then the extraction will fail. If the link does not seem to work, it also possible to set both {{para|date}} and {{para|year}} parameters. The template will display the date and use the year for the anchor. These two examples show a year being successfully extracted from full date.

===Citation template has no date===
If the cited source does not have a date, you can use {{para|date|n.d.}} for the full citation and "n.d." in place of the date for the short citation:
{{markup
|<nowiki>This is a fact.{{sfn|Smith|n.d.}}
==Notes==
{{reflist}}
==References==
* {{Citation |last=Smith |title=Title |date=n.d. |publisher=Publisher |mode=cs1}}</nowiki>

{{fake heading|sub=3|Notes}}
{{reflist}}
{{fake heading|sub=3|References}}
* {{Citation |last=Smith |title=Title |date=n.d. |publisher=Publisher |mode=cs1}}
}}
===Citation template has no author name===
Some sources do not have a single author with a last name, such as a magazine article or a report from a government institution. There is no consensus (in Wikipedia or among citation styles) about how to format author–date citations for works that do not have a specific author. Several choices are:
# The title of the article, or a shortened form of the title, is recommended by some style guides.
# For a newspaper or periodical, you may use the name of the paper and the date.
# For a publication by an institution, use either:
## The initials of the institution
## The name of the institution
# Other style guides recommend using "Anonymous" or "Anon."
An article should adopt one of these styles consistently.
Use a [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]] to replace set the author name to one of these other choices, as shown in these examples below.

=== Citation template has no author, date or title ===
If the cited source does not have a date, author, or title, place a description of the source within brackets for the {{para|title}} parameter, use {{para|date|n.d.}} and create [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]] with the description in the name position and "n.d." in the year.

{{See section|Wikipedia:Citation templates and reference anchors|Citation templates that create anchors}}

You could also use CITEREF directly with a concatenation of <code>#CITEREF</code> plus the parameters passed to the Harvard citation template.
===Citation template does not support any kind of anchor===
{{See section|Wikipedia:Citation templates and reference anchors|Citation templates that create anchors}}
There are a few templates that do not support any kind of anchor, including {{tl|cite report}}, {{tl|cite music release notes}}, {{tl|cite DVD-notes}}, {{tl|cite episode}} and others.
It is possible to use {{tl|wikicite}} to create an anchor. It has a {{para|ref}} parameter which can be set to a [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]]. In this example, the publisher is considered the editor.

===No citation template ===
If the citation is handwritten you should consider the citation format of the article. If citation templates are used often in this article, then check [[WP:Citation templates]] and try to find one that works for this source. If no template can be found, then this may be a source which can't be represented in our citation templates.
Use {{tl2|wikicite}} to make an anchor, setting Wikicite's {{para|ref}} to a [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]].

===Wikilink to citation does not work===
If an article is using this template, and nothing happens when you click on the highlighted [[wikilink]] from a [[WP:SHORTCITE|short citation]] using a template to a [[WP:SHORTCITE|full citation]] at the bottom of the page, there are several possible solutions. If:
# Templates like this one are rarely used in this article. '''Solution''': Remove this template and format the citation in the style used most often in the article.
# The correct full citation does ''not'' appear at the bottom of the article. '''Solution''': Find the source (it may be copied from an article on a similar subject), and check that it verifies the text. If the source can't be found, replace this template with {{tl2|citation not found}}.
# The correct full citation appears at the bottom of the article, and
## The full citation uses a template from the list at [[Help:Citation Style 1|Citation Style 1]]:
### The name in the short citation is spelled or capitalized differently than in the full citation. '''Solution''': Check the source for the correct spelling, and use the same spelling, spacing, and capitalization in both the short and full citations.
### There is more than one full citation with the same last name(s) and year. '''Solution''': See [[#More than one work in a year|§More than one work in a year]] or [[#Two sources with same last names and years|§Two sources with same last names and years]].
### The year is different here than the full citation. '''Solution''': Check the source for the correct year, and use the same year in both the short and full citations.
### The template has a {{para|date}} field and no {{para|year}} field, but the format of the {{para|date}} field is unusual. '''Solution''': Try to fix the date. If the link still does not work, add {{para|year}} to the citation template. (It's okay if it has both.)
### The template does not have a year, or the year is set to "n.d." (no date). '''Solution''': Set the date field of this template to "n.d.".
### The template does not have an author's or an editor's, last name (authors take precedence over editors). '''Solution''': See [[#No author name in citation template|§No author name in citation template]], above.
### The template has no author, date or title. '''Solution''': See [[#Citation template has no author, date or title|§Citation template has no author, date or title]]]
##The citation template doesn't automatically create the anchor, but has {{para|ref}}. '''Solution''': See [[#Citation template doesn't create a compatible anchor but has %7Cref=|§Citation template doesn't create a compatible anchor but has {{para|ref}}]], above.
##The citation template doesn't support anchors at all. '''Solution''': See [[#Citation template does not support any kind of anchor|§Citation format does not support any kind of anchor]], above.
##The full citation is handwritten.
### There are no other citation templates in the article. This is probably because local editors prefer it that way. '''Solution''': You should adapt to the style of the article. This would probably entail removing this template and formatting the short citation in plain text or replacing it with a full citation in {{tag|ref}} tags.
### There are citation templates used liberally throughout the article. '''Solution''': Reformat the source with the appropriate {{cite *}} template (and set the {{para|ref}} appropriately, if necessary).
### No appropriate template can be found. '''Solution''': See [[#No citation template|§No citation template]], above.
Templates that have broken [[wikilink]]s using these templates are added to the category {{cat|All articles with broken links to citations}}.
== Techniques and variations ==
{{anchor|Additional comments or quotes}}
=== Adding additional comments or quotes ===
The templates {{tl2|harvnb}} or {{tl2|harvtxt}} can be used to add quotes or additional comments into the footnote, in the form of in-text attributions.
{{markup
|<nowiki>
Some information.<ref>{{harvnb|Smith|2011|p=2}}: "A quote verifying the information."</ref>
== Notes ==

}}
===Citations inside explanatory footnotes===
Sometimes an explanatory footnote requires a citation. There are several acceptable solutions.
It is currently disputed (June 2026) whether parenthetical referencing (or narrative referencing, i.e. in-text attribution serving as referencing) is deprecated inside {{tag|ref}} tags used for explanatory footnotes.
Citations using {{tl1|sfn}} can't be directly embedded between {{tag|ref}} tags, because the following message will be produced: {{small|{{error|Cite error references missing group||nocat=true}}}}. But {{tl1|sfn}} can be used with templates {{tl1|efn}} and {{tl1|notelist}}, which separates the explanatory footnotes from the short citations, as shown in this example. (See also [[Chinese Room]], which is an article that makes extensive use of this technique.)

===Adding a URL for the page or location===
If a specific link to the page or section is available, a [[Uniform Resource Locator|URL]] can be added to the location or page number.
{{markup

(See [[#url weirdness|below]] for a potential issue with this technique.)
===Bundled citations===
{{see also|Help:Citation merging |Wikipedia:Citing sources#Bundling citations}}

}}
===Multiple lists of inline citations===
Sometimes there is a need to create two or more separate lists of inline footnotes. For example some family trees are contained in templates, they are transluded into several biographies, and they have their own self contained citations (see [[Template:Houston family tree]] and the article [[Margaret Lea Houston]]).
To facilitate this, while the main page uses the standard 1,2,3 footnote counting, it is common for family trees to use the efn template with a group parameter set—for example {{tlx|efn-lg}} (lower-greek). The efn templates are text templates, to link some or all of the content of the efn template to a long citation template such as {{tlx|cite book}} place {{tlx|harvnb}} or {{tlx|harv}} within the efn template.

{{anchor|Ps problems}}
== Other parameters ==
These parameters were designed to handle special cases that are better handled by other techniques.
===Parameter {{para|ps}}===
These templates have a parameter {{para|ps}}, designed to hold quotes and explanations.
Two or more {{tlc|sfn}} templates with the same authors, same year, and same page, but different {{para|ps}} will result in a {{small|{{error|Cite error: The named reference ... was defined multiple times with different content}}}} message. This message happens because the reference names that {{tlc|sfn}} creates will be the same, but the content between the {{tag|ref|params=name="FOOTNOTE..."|o}} tag and the {{tag|ref|c}} tag will be different.
A workaround is to convert the offending {{tlc|sfn}} templates to {{tlx|harvnb}} wrapped in {{tag|ref}} tags, as recommended in [[#Additional comments or quotes|§ Adding additional comments or quotes]]. This method is more versatile and robust.
Template {{para|ps}} also has a second (rare) use, when setting {{para|ps|none}}, which suppressed the final period. See [[#Variations in the format of the author-date citation|§ Variations in the format of the author-date citation]].
===Parameter {{para|ref}}===
The optional parameter {{para|ref}} was used to create an unusually named link from the short citation to the full citation. This typically would require setting the hand coded link on the full citation as well. It's easier to only set the link of the full citation to {{para|ref|{{tl2|sfnref}}}}.
If you specify {{para|ref|none}}, no hyperlink is created. However, if one does not want the link, it is always possible to simply use plain text instead of the template.
The parameter only appears in <nowiki>{{harv*}}</nowiki> templates, and may still appear in a few articles.
==Open problems==
===Link works but displays a no target error===
When a short-cite template links to a full citation that is rendered by a template that wraps a CS1 template, like {{txl|cite DNB}} (which wraps {{txl|cite encyclopedia}}), a {{error-small|no target}} error may be displayed even when the short-cite template is valid and the link works. That is a "false positive" error. The error message can be suppressed by adding {{para|ignore-err|yes}} to the template, or by adding the template {{t|Sfn whitelist}} with the anchor ID(s) to the article. If you are testing changes in [[Special:ExpandTemplates]] and the error message cannot be suppressed, try testing in a sandbox or user subpage instead.
==={{ucfirst:sfn}} embedded in list-defined ref does not work===
If you [[Help:Footnotes#embedding references|embed]] an {{ucfirst:sfn}} 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}}.
==Implementation notes==
These templates use two elements: a [[wikilink]] in the body of the article, and an [[WP:ANCHOR DEF|anchor]] in the reference section of the article. Clicking on the wikilink repositions the page at the anchor.
===Citation template [[HTML element#Links and anchors|anchor]]===
{{See also|Wikipedia:Citation templates and reference anchors}}
The most common citation templates are {{cs1}} or {{cs2}}. By default, [[Module:Citation/CS1]] creates an [[HTML element#Links and anchors|anchor]] {{tag|a|o|params=name="CITEREF"}} followed by the concatenation of the following parameters:
* '''last''' or '''last1''' or '''surname''' or '''surname1''' or '''author-last''' or '''author-last1''' or '''author1-last''' or '''author-surname''' or '''author-surname1''' or '''author1-surname''' or '''author''' or '''author1''' or '''authors''',
* '''last2''' or '''surname2''' or '''author-last2''' or '''author2-last''' or '''author-surname2''' or '''author2-surname''' or '''author2''',
* '''last3''' or '''surname3''' or '''author-last3''' or '''author3-last''' or '''author-surname3''' or '''author3-surname''' or '''author3''',
* '''last4''' or '''surname4''' or '''author-last4''' or '''author4-last''' or '''author-surname4''' or '''author4-surname''' or '''author4''',
* '''editor-last''' or '''editor-last1''' or '''editor1-last''' or '''editor-surname''' or '''editor-surname1''' or '''editor1-surname''' or '''editor1''' or '''editor''',
* '''editor-last2''' or '''editor2-last''' or '''editor-surname2''' or '''editor2-surname''' or '''editor2''',
* '''editor-last3''' or '''editor3-last''' or '''editor-surname3''' or '''editor3-surname''' or '''editor3''',
* '''editor-last4''' or '''editor4-last''' or '''editor-surname4''' or '''editor4-surname''' or '''editor4''',
* '''date''', '''year'''
This covers the most common templates. Information about all of the templates is available at [[Wikipedia:Citation templates and reference anchors]].
Use of the '''date''' parameter in place of the '''year''' parameter in citation templates is preferred.
===Harvard citation wikilink===
The Harvard citation templates create a [[wikilink]] to the anchor. For example {{tlx|Harv|Smith|2006|4=p=25}} produces the link {{code|#CITEREFSmith2006}} and {{tlx|Citation|2=last=Smith|3=first=John|4=date=27 January 2006|5=title=My Life}} produces the anchor {{code|CITEREFSmith2006}}.
===Using CITEREF directly===
{{Shortcut|WP:CITEREF}}
A few articles create a custom ID using {{code|CITEREF}}, either in place of the Harvard citation template (e.g. <code><nowiki>[[#CITEREFSmith2006|(2006)]]</nowiki></code>) or as a value for {{para|ref}} in the citation template.
{{Refname rules|A custom ID must follow these rules:|
* If CITEREF is used, then spaces in the {{para|ref}} field must be replaced with underscores}}
Examples:
* {{tlx|sfn|{{var|cite name}}|{{var|year}}}}
* {{tlx|cite book|2=ref=CITEREF{{var|cite_nameyear}}}}
* {{tlx|cite book|2=ref={{tl|sfnref|{{var|cite_name}}|{{var|year}}}}}}
Where {{var|cite_name}} is a name such as the publisher.
To avoid the sometimes difficult to remember syntax for links to CITEREF anchors, {{tl|citeref}} can be used to create internal wikilinks with either small superscript-style labels (like this<sup>[n]</sup>) or plain free-text labels to such anchors. It can be used inside of other citations.
Note that the {{code|CITEREF}} prefix is necessary for the [[mw:Reference Tooltips|reference tooltips gadget]] ([[MediaWiki:Gadget-ReferenceTooltips.js]]) to detect that a link goes to a citation.
===[[Template:sfn|<code><nowiki>{{sfn}}</nowiki></code>]]'s [[WP:REFNAME|ref name]]===
Template {{tl2|sfn}} creates a [[WP:REFNAME|named footnote]], so that identical footnotes are combined automatically. The footnote name begins with {{code|FOOTNOTE}} followed by a concatenation of the arguments to {{tl2|sfn}}. E.g.: this template call {{tlx|sfn|Smith|2006|4=p=26}} should have exactly the same functionality as {{tag|ref|params=name="FOOTNOTESmith200626"|content={{tl|Harvnb|Smith|2006|4=p=26}}.}} which, in turn, has the same functionality as {{tag|ref|params=name="FOOTNOTESmith200626"|content=<nowiki>[[#CITEREFSmith2006|Smith (2006)]], p.&nbsp;26.</nowiki>}}.

The ref name becomes more complicated when the page (p) parameter includes a URL, e.g. {{tlg|sfn|Joyce|1903|p{{=}}[https://archive.org/details/aconcisehistory00joycgoog/page/n226 213]|code=on}}, which, once defined, can be called by {{tag|ref|empty|params=name="FOOTNOTEJoyce1903[httpsarchiveorgdetailsaconcisehistory00joycgoogpagen226 213]"}}. The "p=" and the characters |,:,.,/,?,=; are therefore stripped out of the URL. The content of the loc parameter is similarly appended after this.
The call to {{tl2|harvnb}} has been [[subst]]'ed for quicker load times.

{{Lua|Module:Footnotes|Module:Check for unknown parameters}}
The '''shortened footnote template''' {{tl|sfn}} creates a short [[WP:Citing sources#Short citations|author–date citation]] in a [[Wikipedia:Citing sources|footnote]], with a one-directional link to the first matching [[Wikipedia:Citation templates|citation template]] on the same page. It will combine identical footnotes automatically.
It is used to create {{sfnote|lc=y}}, a [[WP:CITESTYLE|citation style]] which pairs a short, author-date citation in a footnote with a [[WP:HOWCITE|complete citation]] in the references section at the end of the article (see example [[#Example|below]]). This citation style is used to simplify multiple citations to the same source and to reduce clutter in the edit window.
Common problems and known workarounds are given in the sections below. Use the table of contents to find what you need.
Note that the use (or even non-use) of these templates is an element of citation "style", and adding or removing them in articles with an established style should be consistent with that style. See [[WP:CITEVAR]].
==Usage==
'''Sfn''' generates an "author-date" style short-cite from the following parameters:
<div style="margin-left: 2em"><code>{{<nowiki>sfn</nowiki>| <{{var|last1}}*> | <{{var|last2}}> | <{{var|last3}}> | <{{var|last4}}> | <{{var|year}}*> | p= <{{var|page}}> | loc= <{{var|location}}> }}</code></div>
with
* <{{var|last1}}> – required; surname of first author or corporate author
* <{{var|last2}}>–<{{var|last4}}> – positional parameters; surnames of next three authors; required if available in the full citation
* <{{var|year}}> – required; four-digit year; may have a lowercase disambiguation letter, like {{pval|2012a}}
* {{para|p}} – specific page referenced in the source (alias: {{para|page}}{{hairspace}})
* {{para|pp}} – comma-separated list of [[Template:Csdoc#pages|individual pages and / or range(s) of pages]] referenced in the source (alias: {{para|pages}}{{hairspace}})
* {{para|loc}} – in-source location when {{para|p}} and {{para|pp}} are inappropriate; may be used to supplement {{para|p}} and {{para|pp}}; information such as a section or figure number. (alias: {{para|at}}{{hairspace}})
=== Example ===
Typical usage is shown in the example below. The text and the footnote are connected by a bi-directional link – clicking on the superscript takes the reader to the footnote, clicking on the footnote number takes them back to the superscript. The clicking on the short citation takes them to the full citation in the references section.
'''Sfn''' will also automatically combine identical footnotes.

Template '''sfn''' is not placed inside {{tag|ref}} tags and generates the footnote internally. (To place '''sfn''' in a footnote, see [[#A citation inside an explanatory footnote|putting a citation inside a footnote]], below.)
===Parameters===
====Author(s) and year====
The first four author surnames (or all authors if fewer than four; use the values from {{para|last''N''}} or {{para|author''N''}}{{hairspace}}) are required, followed by the year of publication (from {{para|year}} or {{para|date}}). Authors past the fourth must be omitted or an error will result.
The [[#Possible issues with author-date link|possible issues]] section below describes workarounds for various common problems, such as [[#Large number of authors|large number of authors]], [[#No author name in citation template|no author name]], [[#More than one work in a year|multiple works in the same year]], [[#Two sources with same last names and years|Two sources with same last names and years]] and others.

Use {{para|p}} for single pages; use {{para|pp}} for multiple pages (such as ranges). Use of {{para|p}} for multiple pages or {{para|pp}} for single pages can cause [[Help:Cite errors/Cite error references duplicate key|cite errors]].
{{para|loc}} can be used to specify a location in the source in another way, such as section numbers or chapters. It can also be combined with {{para|p}} or {{para|pp}}.

==Possible issues with author-date link==
{{for|information on how to turn on error messages for broken links|:Category:Harv and Sfn template errors}}
These are techniques that address various unusual difficulties with the link between the short citation and the full citation.
===Custom anchors===
A custom anchor using {{tl|sfnref}} can, at least temporarily, always make the shortened footnote look exactly the way you would like and still have a link that works. Many of the problems and workarounds below require a custom anchor.
All CS1 citation templates and several other templates allow you to set a custom anchor with parameter {{para|ref}}. The template {{tl|sfnRef}} creates an anchor that will match {{tl|sfn}}'s if it has the same parameters as {{tl|sfn}}. To use this technique, choose the name and year you would like to appear in {{tl|sfn}}, copy these parameters into {{tl|sfnRef}} and set {{tl|ref}} to the {{tl|sfnRef}}.
In other words, if you want this:
* {{tl2|sfn|<*''name you want''>|<''year''>|<''page / location''>}}
then set this:
* {{para|ref|{{tl2|sfnRef|<''name you want''>|<''year''>}}}}
in the template, and the link should work correctly.
The parameters must be <em>identical</em> in every respect. If the year is unusual (i.e. not a number), then include the year in the name and don't use the year position.
===Large number of authors===
If there are more than four authors, the first four authors' surnames (the value in {{para|last}} or {{para|author}}) are required by the template. Listing more authors is not supported. It is also possible to use a [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]] that sets the name field to "Smith et. al.".

}}}}
===More than one work in a year===
Where there is a need to cite more than one work ''by the same author published in the same year'', the standard way to disambiguate such works is to add a letter suffix after the year, e.g. "Smith 2006a" and "Smith 2006b".
Set the year element of the {{tlc|sfn}} templates (e.g. {{tlc|sfn|Smith|2006a}} and {{tlc|sfn|Smith|2006a}}), and add the disambiguation letter to the matching full citation, (e.g. <code><nowiki>{{cite book|...|last=Smith|date=2006b}}</nowiki></code>).
When {{tlc|sfn}} is used with {{tlx|citation}} or {{cs1}} templates, a year-suffix letter may be added to {{para|date}} for all accepted date formats except year-initial numeric ({{small|YYYY-MM-DD}}). It is not necessary to include both {{para|date}} and {{para|year}} (see exception [[#NB_YEAR|below]]). If both are included, {{para|year}} is used for the <code>CITEREF</code> anchor to be compliant with legacy citations.
:{{para|date|2013a}}: simple year only dates
:{{para|date|Jan 2013b}} or {{para|date|Winter 2013b}}: month or season and year dates
:{{para|date|9 November 2013b}} or {{para|date|November 9, 2013b}}: full dates
:{{para|date|June–July 2013c}} or {{para|date|Winter–Spring 2013c}}: month or season ranges and year dates
:{{para|date|c. 2013d}}: circa year dates
:{{para|date|{{#time:Y}}–{{#time:Y|now +1 year}}e}} or {{para|date|Summer {{#time:Y}}–{{#time:y|now +1 year}}e}}: year ranges
:{{para|date|n.d.f}}: no date (n.d.)
:{{anchor|NB_YEAR}}<s>{{para|date|2013g-11-09}}</s>: not supported, the template must use {{para|year|2013g}}. If month and day should be part of the citation as well, both parameters need to be given: {{para|date|2013-11-09}} {{para|year|2013x}}. In this case, {{para|date}} is used for citation display and metadata purposes, and {{para|year}} for link disambiguation.

===Two sources with same last names and years ===
An article might cite works from the same year by two different authors with the same last name. For example, an article might cite psychoanalysts [[Anna Freud]] and [[Sigmund Freud]], who both wrote books in the same year.
There are two solutions: it's possible to use the same technique described in the previous section. To differentiate between the two books, the first one can be given the year "1928a" and the second one "1928b".
Or, you can create a [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]] that adds an initial to the name fields, e.g. "A. Freud" and "S. Freud". The links will no longer conflict.

===Citation template has no year but has a date===
Either the {{para|date}} or {{para|year}} of a citation template can be matched—the template logic can extract the year from a full date. If the date parameter is not a full date, then the extraction will fail. If the link does not seem to work, it also possible to set both {{para|date}} and {{para|year}} parameters. The template will display the date and use the year for the anchor. These two examples show a year being successfully extracted from full date.

===Citation template has no date===
If the cited source does not have a date, you can use {{para|date|n.d.}} for the full citation and "n.d." in place of the date for the short citation:
{{markup
|<nowiki>This is a fact.{{sfn|Smith|n.d.}}
==Notes==
{{reflist}}
==References==
* {{Citation |last=Smith |title=Title |date=n.d. |publisher=Publisher |mode=cs1}}</nowiki>

{{fake heading|sub=3|Notes}}
{{reflist}}
{{fake heading|sub=3|References}}
* {{Citation |last=Smith |title=Title |date=n.d. |publisher=Publisher |mode=cs1}}
}}
===Citation template has no author name===
Some sources do not have a single author with a last name, such as a magazine article or a report from a government institution. There is no consensus (in Wikipedia or among citation styles) about how to format author–date citations for works that do not have a specific author. Several choices are:
# The title of the article, or a shortened form of the title, is recommended by some style guides.
# For a newspaper or periodical, you may use the name of the paper and the date.
# For a publication by an institution, use either:
## The initials of the institution
## The name of the institution
# Other style guides recommend using "Anonymous" or "Anon."
An article should adopt one of these styles consistently.
Use a [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]] to replace set the author name to one of these other choices, as shown in these examples below.

=== Citation template has no author, date or title ===
If the cited source does not have a date, author, or title, place a description of the source within brackets for the {{para|title}} parameter, use {{para|date|n.d.}} and create [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]] with the description in the name position and "n.d." in the year.

{{See section|Wikipedia:Citation templates and reference anchors|Citation templates that create anchors}}

You could also use CITEREF directly with a concatenation of <code>#CITEREF</code> plus the parameters passed to the Harvard citation template.
===Citation template does not support any kind of anchor===
{{See section|Wikipedia:Citation templates and reference anchors|Citation templates that create anchors}}
There are a few templates that do not support any kind of anchor, including {{tl|cite report}}, {{tl|cite music release notes}}, {{tl|cite DVD-notes}}, {{tl|cite episode}} and others.
It is possible to use {{tl|wikicite}} to create an anchor. It has a {{para|ref}} parameter which can be set to a [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]]. In this example, the publisher is considered the editor.

===No citation template ===
If the citation is handwritten you should consider the citation format of the article. If citation templates are used often in this article, then check [[WP:Citation templates]] and try to find one that works for this source. If no template can be found, then this may be a source which can't be represented in our citation templates.
Use {{tl2|wikicite}} to make an anchor, setting Wikicite's {{para|ref}} to a [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]].

===Wikilink to citation does not work===
If an article is using this template, and nothing happens when you click on the highlighted [[wikilink]] from a [[WP:SHORTCITE|short citation]] using a template to a [[WP:SHORTCITE|full citation]] at the bottom of the page, there are several possible solutions. If:
# Templates like this one are rarely used in this article. '''Solution''': Remove this template and format the citation in the style used most often in the article.
# The correct full citation does ''not'' appear at the bottom of the article. '''Solution''': Find the source (it may be copied from an article on a similar subject), and check that it verifies the text. If the source can't be found, replace this template with {{tl2|citation not found}}.
# The correct full citation appears at the bottom of the article, and
## The full citation uses a template from the list at [[Help:Citation Style 1|Citation Style 1]]:
### The name in the short citation is spelled or capitalized differently than in the full citation. '''Solution''': Check the source for the correct spelling, and use the same spelling, spacing, and capitalization in both the short and full citations.
### There is more than one full citation with the same last name(s) and year. '''Solution''': See [[#More than one work in a year|§More than one work in a year]] or [[#Two sources with same last names and years|§Two sources with same last names and years]].
### The year is different here than the full citation. '''Solution''': Check the source for the correct year, and use the same year in both the short and full citations.
### The template has a {{para|date}} field and no {{para|year}} field, but the format of the {{para|date}} field is unusual. '''Solution''': Try to fix the date. If the link still does not work, add {{para|year}} to the citation template. (It's okay if it has both.)
### The template does not have a year, or the year is set to "n.d." (no date). '''Solution''': Set the date field of this template to "n.d.".
### The template does not have an author's or an editor's, last name (authors take precedence over editors). '''Solution''': See [[#Citation template has no author name|§Citation template has no author name]], above.
### The template has no author, date or title. '''Solution''': See [[#Citation template has no author, date or title|§Citation template has no author, date or title]]]
##The citation template doesn't automatically create the anchor, but has {{para|ref}}. '''Solution''': See [[#Citation template doesn't create a compatible anchor but has %7Cref=|§Citation template doesn't create a compatible anchor but has {{para|ref}}]], above.
##The citation template doesn't support anchors at all. '''Solution''': See [[#Citation template does not support any kind of anchor|§Citation format does not support any kind of anchor]], above.
##The full citation is handwritten.
### There are no other citation templates in the article. This is probably because local editors prefer it that way. '''Solution''': You should adapt to the style of the article. This would probably entail removing this template and formatting the short citation in plain text or replacing it with a full citation in {{tag|ref}} tags.
### There are citation templates used liberally throughout the article. '''Solution''': Reformat the source with the appropriate {{cite *}} template (and set the {{para|ref}} appropriately, if necessary).
### No appropriate template can be found. '''Solution''': See [[#No citation template|§No citation template]], above.
Templates that have broken [[wikilink]]s using these templates are added to the category {{cat|All articles with broken links to citations}}.
== Techniques and variations ==
{{anchor|Additional comments or quotes}}
=== Adding additional comments or quotes ===
The templates {{tl2|harvnb}} or {{tl2|harvtxt}} can be used to add quotes or additional comments into the footnote, in the form of in-text attributions.
{{markup
|<nowiki>
Some information.<ref>{{harvnb|Smith|2011|p=2}}: "A quote verifying the information."</ref>
== Notes ==

}}
===Citations inside explanatory footnotes===
Sometimes an explanatory footnote requires a citation. There are several acceptable solutions.
It is currently disputed (June 2026) whether parenthetical referencing (or narrative referencing, i.e. in-text attribution serving as referencing) is deprecated inside {{tag|ref}} tags used for explanatory footnotes.
Citations using {{tl1|sfn}} can't be directly embedded between {{tag|ref}} tags, because the following message will be produced: {{small|{{error|Cite error references missing group||nocat=true}}}}. But {{tl1|sfn}} can be used with templates {{tl1|efn}} and {{tl1|notelist}}, which separates the explanatory footnotes from the short citations, as shown in this example. (See also [[Chinese Room]], which is an article that makes extensive use of this technique.)

===Adding a URL for the page or location===
If a specific link to the page or section is available, a [[Uniform Resource Locator|URL]] can be added to the location or page number.
{{markup

(See [[#url weirdness|below]] for a potential issue with this technique.)
===Bundled citations===
{{see also|Help:Citation merging |Wikipedia:Citing sources#Bundling citations}}

}}
===Multiple lists of inline citations===
Sometimes there is a need to create two or more separate lists of inline footnotes. For example some family trees are contained in templates, they are transluded into several biographies, and they have their own self contained citations (see [[Template:Houston family tree]] and the article [[Margaret Lea Houston]]).
To facilitate this, while the main page uses the standard 1,2,3 footnote counting, it is common for family trees to use the efn template with a group parameter set—for example {{tlx|efn-lg}} (lower-greek). The efn templates are text templates, to link some or all of the content of the efn template to a long citation template such as {{tlx|cite book}} place {{tlx|harvnb}} or {{tlx|harv}} within the efn template.

{{anchor|Ps problems}}
== Other parameters ==
These parameters were designed to handle special cases that are better handled by other techniques.
===Parameter {{para|ps}}===
These templates have a parameter {{para|ps}}, designed to hold quotes and explanations.
Two or more {{tlc|sfn}} templates with the same authors, same year, and same page, but different {{para|ps}} will result in a {{small|{{error|Cite error: The named reference ... was defined multiple times with different content}}}} message. This message happens because the reference names that {{tlc|sfn}} creates will be the same, but the content between the {{tag|ref|params=name="FOOTNOTE..."|o}} tag and the {{tag|ref|c}} tag will be different.
A workaround is to convert the offending {{tlc|sfn}} templates to {{tlx|harvnb}} wrapped in {{tag|ref}} tags, as recommended in [[#Additional comments or quotes|§ Adding additional comments or quotes]]. This method is more versatile and robust.
Template {{para|ps}} also has a second (rare) use, when setting {{para|ps|none}}, which suppressed the final period. See [[#Variations in the format of the author-date citation|§ Variations in the format of the author-date citation]].
===Parameter {{para|ref}}===
The optional parameter {{para|ref}} was used to create an unusually named link from the short citation to the full citation. This typically would require setting the hand coded link on the full citation as well. It's easier to only set the link of the full citation to {{para|ref|{{tl2|sfnref}}}}.
If you specify {{para|ref|none}}, no hyperlink is created. However, if one does not want the link, it is always possible to simply use plain text instead of the template.
The parameter only appears in <nowiki>{{harv*}}</nowiki> templates, and may still appear in a few articles.
==Open problems==
===Link works but displays a no target error===
When a short-cite template links to a full citation that is rendered by a template that wraps a CS1 template, like {{txl|cite DNB}} (which wraps {{txl|cite encyclopedia}}), a {{error-small|no target}} error may be displayed even when the short-cite template is valid and the link works. That is a "false positive" error. The error message can be suppressed by adding {{para|ignore-err|yes}} to the template, or by adding the template {{t|Sfn whitelist}} with the anchor ID(s) to the article. If you are testing changes in [[Special:ExpandTemplates]] and the error message cannot be suppressed, try testing in a sandbox or user subpage instead.
==={{ucfirst:sfn}} embedded in list-defined ref does not work===
If you [[Help:Footnotes#embedding references|embed]] an {{ucfirst:sfn}} 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}}.
==Implementation notes==
These templates use two elements: a [[wikilink]] in the body of the article, and an [[WP:ANCHOR DEF|anchor]] in the reference section of the article. Clicking on the wikilink repositions the page at the anchor.
===Citation template [[HTML element#Links and anchors|anchor]]===
{{See also|Wikipedia:Citation templates and reference anchors}}
The most common citation templates are {{cs1}} or {{cs2}}. By default, [[Module:Citation/CS1]] creates an [[HTML element#Links and anchors|anchor]] {{tag|a|o|params=name="CITEREF"}} followed by the concatenation of the following parameters:
* '''last''' or '''last1''' or '''surname''' or '''surname1''' or '''author-last''' or '''author-last1''' or '''author1-last''' or '''author-surname''' or '''author-surname1''' or '''author1-surname''' or '''author''' or '''author1''' or '''authors''',
* '''last2''' or '''surname2''' or '''author-last2''' or '''author2-last''' or '''author-surname2''' or '''author2-surname''' or '''author2''',
* '''last3''' or '''surname3''' or '''author-last3''' or '''author3-last''' or '''author-surname3''' or '''author3-surname''' or '''author3''',
* '''last4''' or '''surname4''' or '''author-last4''' or '''author4-last''' or '''author-surname4''' or '''author4-surname''' or '''author4''',
* '''editor-last''' or '''editor-last1''' or '''editor1-last''' or '''editor-surname''' or '''editor-surname1''' or '''editor1-surname''' or '''editor1''' or '''editor''',
* '''editor-last2''' or '''editor2-last''' or '''editor-surname2''' or '''editor2-surname''' or '''editor2''',
* '''editor-last3''' or '''editor3-last''' or '''editor-surname3''' or '''editor3-surname''' or '''editor3''',
* '''editor-last4''' or '''editor4-last''' or '''editor-surname4''' or '''editor4-surname''' or '''editor4''',
* '''date''', '''year'''
This covers the most common templates. Information about all of the templates is available at [[Wikipedia:Citation templates and reference anchors]].
Use of the '''date''' parameter in place of the '''year''' parameter in citation templates is preferred.
===Harvard citation wikilink===
The Harvard citation templates create a [[wikilink]] to the anchor. For example {{tlx|Harv|Smith|2006|4=p=25}} produces the link {{code|#CITEREFSmith2006}} and {{tlx|Citation|2=last=Smith|3=first=John|4=date=27 January 2006|5=title=My Life}} produces the anchor {{code|CITEREFSmith2006}}.
===Using CITEREF directly===
{{Shortcut|WP:CITEREF}}
A few articles create a custom ID using {{code|CITEREF}}, either in place of the Harvard citation template (e.g. <code><nowiki>[[#CITEREFSmith2006|(2006)]]</nowiki></code>) or as a value for {{para|ref}} in the citation template.
{{Refname rules|A custom ID must follow these rules:|
* If CITEREF is used, then spaces in the {{para|ref}} field must be replaced with underscores}}
Examples:
* {{tlx|sfn|{{var|cite name}}|{{var|year}}}}
* {{tlx|cite book|2=ref=CITEREF{{var|cite_nameyear}}}}
* {{tlx|cite book|2=ref={{tl|sfnref|{{var|cite_name}}|{{var|year}}}}}}
Where {{var|cite_name}} is a name such as the publisher.
To avoid the sometimes difficult to remember syntax for links to CITEREF anchors, {{tl|citeref}} can be used to create internal wikilinks with either small superscript-style labels (like this<sup>[n]</sup>) or plain free-text labels to such anchors. It can be used inside of other citations.
Note that the {{code|CITEREF}} prefix is necessary for the [[mw:Reference Tooltips|reference tooltips gadget]] ([[MediaWiki:Gadget-ReferenceTooltips.js]]) to detect that a link goes to a citation.
===[[Template:sfn|<code><nowiki>{{sfn}}</nowiki></code>]]'s [[WP:REFNAME|ref name]]===
Template {{tl2|sfn}} creates a [[WP:REFNAME|named footnote]], so that identical footnotes are combined automatically. The footnote name begins with {{code|FOOTNOTE}} followed by a concatenation of the arguments to {{tl2|sfn}}. E.g.: this template call {{tlx|sfn|Smith|2006|4=p=26}} should have exactly the same functionality as {{tag|ref|params=name="FOOTNOTESmith200626"|content={{tl|Harvnb|Smith|2006|4=p=26}}.}} which, in turn, has the same functionality as {{tag|ref|params=name="FOOTNOTESmith200626"|content=<nowiki>[[#CITEREFSmith2006|Smith (2006)]], p.&nbsp;26.</nowiki>}}.

The ref name becomes more complicated when the page (p) parameter includes a URL, e.g. {{tlg|sfn|Joyce|1903|p{{=}}[https://archive.org/details/aconcisehistory00joycgoog/page/n226 213]|code=on}}, which, once defined, can be called by {{tag|ref|empty|params=name="FOOTNOTEJoyce1903[httpsarchiveorgdetailsaconcisehistory00joycgoogpagen226 213]"}}. The "p=" and the characters |,:,.,/,?,=; are therefore stripped out of the URL. The content of the loc parameter is similarly appended after this.
The call to {{tl2|harvnb}} has been [[subst]]'ed for quicker load times.

{{Template redirect|sfnnb}}
{{Lua|Module:Footnotes|Module:Check for unknown parameters}}
The '''shortened footnote template''' {{tl|sfn}} creates a short [[WP:Citing sources#Short citations|author–date citation]] in a [[Wikipedia:Citing sources|footnote]], with a one-directional link to the first matching [[Wikipedia:Citation templates|citation template]] on the same page. It will combine identical footnotes automatically.
It is used to create {{sfnote|lc=y}}, a [[WP:CITESTYLE|citation style]] which pairs a short, author-date citation in a footnote with a [[WP:HOWCITE|complete citation]] in the references section at the end of the article (see example [[#Example|below]]). This citation style is used to simplify multiple citations to the same source and to reduce clutter in the edit window.
Common problems and known workarounds are given in the sections below. Use the table of contents to find what you need.
Note that the use (or even non-use) of these templates is an element of citation "style", and adding or removing them in articles with an established style should be consistent with that style. See [[WP:CITEVAR]].
==Usage==
'''Sfn''' generates an "author-date" style short-cite from the following parameters:
<div style="margin-left: 2em"><code>{{<nowiki>sfn</nowiki>| <{{var|last1}}*> | <{{var|last2}}> | <{{var|last3}}> | <{{var|last4}}> | <{{var|year}}*> | p= <{{var|page}}> | loc= <{{var|location}}> }}</code></div>
with
* <{{var|last1}}> – required; surname of first author or corporate author
* <{{var|last2}}>–<{{var|last4}}> – positional parameters; surnames of next three authors; required if available in the full citation
* <{{var|year}}> – required; four-digit year; may have a lowercase disambiguation letter, like {{pval|2012a}}
* {{para|p}} – specific page referenced in the source (alias: {{para|page}}{{hairspace}})
* {{para|pp}} – comma-separated list of [[Template:Csdoc#pages|individual pages and / or range(s) of pages]] referenced in the source (alias: {{para|pages}}{{hairspace}})
* {{para|loc}} – in-source location when {{para|p}} and {{para|pp}} are inappropriate; may be used to supplement {{para|p}} and {{para|pp}}; information such as a section or figure number. (alias: {{para|at}}{{hairspace}})
=== Example ===
Typical usage is shown in the example below. The text and the footnote are connected by a bi-directional link – clicking on the superscript takes the reader to the footnote, clicking on the footnote number takes them back to the superscript. The clicking on the short citation takes them to the full citation in the references section.
'''Sfn''' will also automatically combine identical footnotes.

Template '''sfn''' is not placed inside {{tag|ref}} tags and generates the footnote internally. (To place '''sfn''' in a footnote, see [[#A citation inside an explanatory footnote|putting a citation inside a footnote]], below.)
===Parameters===
====Author(s) and year====
The first four author surnames (or all authors if fewer than four; use the values from {{para|last''N''}} or {{para|author''N''}}{{hairspace}}) are required, followed by the year of publication (from {{para|year}} or {{para|date}}). Authors past the fourth must be omitted or an error will result.
The [[#Possible issues with author-date link|possible issues]] section below describes workarounds for various common problems, such as [[#Large number of authors|large number of authors]], [[#No author name in citation template|no author name]], [[#More than one work in a year|multiple works in the same year]], [[#Two sources with same last names and years|Two sources with same last names and years]] and others.

====Location in the source text====
Use {{para|p}} for single pages; use {{para|pp}} for multiple pages (such as ranges). Use of {{para|p}} for multiple pages or {{para|pp}} for single pages can cause [[Help:Cite errors/Cite error references duplicate key|cite errors]].
{{para|loc}} can be used to specify a location in the source in another way, such as section numbers or chapters. It can also be combined with {{para|p}} or {{para|pp}}.

==Possible issues with author-date link==
{{for|information on how to turn on error messages for broken links|:Category:Harv and Sfn template errors}}
These are techniques that address various unusual difficulties with the link between the short citation and the full citation.
===Custom anchors===
A custom anchor using {{tl|sfnref}} can, at least temporarily, always make the shortened footnote look exactly the way you would like and still have a link that works. Many of the problems and workarounds below require a custom anchor.
All CS1 citation templates and several other templates allow you to set a custom anchor with parameter {{para|ref}}. The template {{tl|sfnRef}} creates an anchor that will match {{tl|sfn}}'s if it has the same parameters as {{tl|sfn}}. To use this technique, choose the name and year you would like to appear in {{tl|sfn}}, copy these parameters into {{tl|sfnRef}} and set {{tl|ref}} to the {{tl|sfnRef}}.
In other words, if you want this:
* {{tl2|sfn|<*''name you want''>|<''year''>|<''page / location''>}}
then set this:
* {{para|ref|{{tl2|sfnRef|<''name you want''>|<''year''>}}}}
in the template, and the link should work correctly.
The parameters must be <em>identical</em> in every respect. If the year is unusual (i.e. not a number), then include the year in the name and don't use the year position.
===Large number of authors===
If there are more than four authors, the first four authors' surnames (the value in {{para|last}} or {{para|author}}) are required by the template. Listing more authors is not supported. It is also possible to use a [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]] that sets the name field to "Smith et. al.".

}}}}
===More than one work in a year===
Where there is a need to cite more than one work ''by the same author published in the same year'', the standard way to disambiguate such works is to add a letter suffix after the year, e.g. "Smith 2006a" and "Smith 2006b".
Set the year element of the {{tlc|sfn}} templates (e.g. {{tlc|sfn|Smith|2006a}} and {{tlc|sfn|Smith|2006a}}), and add the disambiguation letter to the matching full citation, (e.g. <code><nowiki>{{cite book|...|last=Smith|date=2006b}}</nowiki></code>).
When {{tlc|sfn}} is used with {{tlx|citation}} or {{cs1}} templates, a year-suffix letter may be added to {{para|date}} for all accepted date formats except year-initial numeric ({{small|YYYY-MM-DD}}). It is not necessary to include both {{para|date}} and {{para|year}} (see exception [[#NB_YEAR|below]]). If both are included, {{para|year}} is used for the <code>CITEREF</code> anchor to be compliant with legacy citations.
:{{para|date|2013a}}: simple year only dates
:{{para|date|Jan 2013b}} or {{para|date|Winter 2013b}}: month or season and year dates
:{{para|date|9 November 2013b}} or {{para|date|November 9, 2013b}}: full dates
:{{para|date|June–July 2013c}} or {{para|date|Winter–Spring 2013c}}: month or season ranges and year dates
:{{para|date|c. 2013d}}: circa year dates
:{{para|date|{{#time:Y}}–{{#time:Y|now +1 year}}e}} or {{para|date|Summer {{#time:Y}}–{{#time:y|now +1 year}}e}}: year ranges
:{{para|date|n.d.f}}: no date (n.d.)
:{{anchor|NB_YEAR}}<s>{{para|date|2013g-11-09}}</s>: not supported, the template must use {{para|year|2013g}}. If month and day should be part of the citation as well, both parameters need to be given: {{para|date|2013-11-09}} {{para|year|2013x}}. In this case, {{para|date}} is used for citation display and metadata purposes, and {{para|year}} for link disambiguation.

===Two sources with same last names and years ===
An article might cite works from the same year by two different authors with the same last name. For example, an article might cite psychoanalysts [[Anna Freud]] and [[Sigmund Freud]], who both wrote books in the same year.
There are two solutions: it's possible to use the same technique described in the previous section. To differentiate between the two books, the first one can be given the year "1928a" and the second one "1928b".
Or, you can create a [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]] that adds an initial to the name fields, e.g. "A. Freud" and "S. Freud". The links will no longer conflict.

===Citation template has no year but has a date===
Either the {{para|date}} or {{para|year}} of a citation template can be matched—the template logic can extract the year from a full date. If the date parameter is not a full date, then the extraction will fail. If the link does not seem to work, it also possible to set both {{para|date}} and {{para|year}} parameters. The template will display the date and use the year for the anchor. These two examples show a year being successfully extracted from full date.

===Citation template has no date===
If the cited source does not have a date, you can use {{para|date|n.d.}} for the full citation and "n.d." in place of the date for the short citation:
{{markup
|<nowiki>This is a fact.{{sfn|Smith|n.d.}}
==Notes==
{{reflist}}
==References==
* {{Citation |last=Smith |title=Title |date=n.d. |publisher=Publisher |mode=cs1}}</nowiki>

{{fake heading|sub=3|Notes}}
{{reflist}}
{{fake heading|sub=3|References}}
* {{Citation |last=Smith |title=Title |date=n.d. |publisher=Publisher |mode=cs1}}
}}
===Citation template has no author name===
Some sources do not have a single author with a last name, such as a magazine article or a report from a government institution. There is no consensus (in Wikipedia or among citation styles) about how to format author–date citations for works that do not have a specific author. Several choices are:
# The title of the article, or a shortened form of the title, is recommended by some style guides.
# For a newspaper or periodical, you may use the name of the paper and the date.
# For a publication by an institution, use either:
## The initials of the institution
## The name of the institution
# Other style guides recommend using "Anonymous" or "Anon."
An article should adopt one of these styles consistently.
Use a [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]] to replace set the author name to one of these other choices, as shown in these examples below.

=== Citation template has no author, date or title ===
If the cited source does not have a date, author, or title, place a description of the source within brackets for the {{para|title}} parameter, use {{para|date|n.d.}} and create [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]] with the description in the name position and "n.d." in the year.

{{See section|Wikipedia:Citation templates and reference anchors|Citation templates that create anchors}}

You could also use CITEREF directly with a concatenation of <code>#CITEREF</code> plus the parameters passed to the Harvard citation template.
===Citation template does not support any kind of anchor===
{{See section|Wikipedia:Citation templates and reference anchors|Citation templates that create anchors}}
There are a few templates that do not support any kind of anchor, including {{tl|cite report}}, {{tl|cite music release notes}}, {{tl|cite DVD-notes}}, {{tl|cite episode}} and others.
It is possible to use {{tl|wikicite}} to create an anchor. It has a {{para|ref}} parameter which can be set to a [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]]. In this example, the publisher is considered the editor.

===No citation template ===
If the citation is handwritten you should consider the citation format of the article. If citation templates are used often in this article, then check [[WP:Citation templates]] and try to find one that works for this source. If no template can be found, then this may be a source which can't be represented in our citation templates.
Use {{tl2|wikicite}} to make an anchor, setting Wikicite's {{para|ref}} to a [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]].

===Wikilink to citation does not work===
If an article is using this template, and nothing happens when you click on the highlighted [[wikilink]] from a [[WP:SHORTCITE|short citation]] using a template to a [[WP:SHORTCITE|full citation]] at the bottom of the page, there are several possible solutions. If:
# Templates like this one are rarely used in this article. '''Solution''': Remove this template and format the citation in the style used most often in the article.
# The correct full citation does ''not'' appear at the bottom of the article. '''Solution''': Find the source (it may be copied from an article on a similar subject), and check that it verifies the text. If the source can't be found, replace this template with {{tl2|citation not found}}.
# The correct full citation appears at the bottom of the article, and
## The full citation uses a template from the list at [[Help:Citation Style 1|Citation Style 1]]:
### The name in the short citation is spelled or capitalized differently than in the full citation. '''Solution''': Check the source for the correct spelling, and use the same spelling, spacing, and capitalization in both the short and full citations.
### There is more than one full citation with the same last name(s) and year. '''Solution''': See [[#More than one work in a year|§More than one work in a year]] or [[#Two sources with same last names and years|§Two sources with same last names and years]].
### The year is different here than the full citation. '''Solution''': Check the source for the correct year, and use the same year in both the short and full citations.
### The template has a {{para|date}} field and no {{para|year}} field, but the format of the {{para|date}} field is unusual. '''Solution''': Try to fix the date. If the link still does not work, add {{para|year}} to the citation template. (It's okay if it has both.)
### The template does not have a year, or the year is set to "n.d." (no date). '''Solution''': Set the date field of this template to "n.d.".
### The template does not have an author's or an editor's, last name (authors take precedence over editors). '''Solution''': See [[#Citation template has no author name|§Citation template has no author name]], above.
### The template has no author, date or title. '''Solution''': See [[#Citation template has no author, date or title|§Citation template has no author, date or title]]]
##The citation template doesn't automatically create the anchor, but has {{para|ref}}. '''Solution''': See [[#Citation template doesn't create a compatible anchor but has %7Cref=|§Citation template doesn't create a compatible anchor but has {{para|ref}}]], above.
##The citation template doesn't support anchors at all. '''Solution''': See [[#Citation template does not support any kind of anchor|§Citation format does not support any kind of anchor]], above.
##The full citation is handwritten.
### There are no other citation templates in the article. This is probably because local editors prefer it that way. '''Solution''': You should adapt to the style of the article. This would probably entail removing this template and formatting the short citation in plain text or replacing it with a full citation in {{tag|ref}} tags.
### There are citation templates used liberally throughout the article. '''Solution''': Reformat the source with the appropriate {{cite *}} template (and set the {{para|ref}} appropriately, if necessary).
### No appropriate template can be found. '''Solution''': See [[#No citation template|§No citation template]], above.
Templates that have broken [[wikilink]]s using these templates are added to the category {{cat|All articles with broken links to citations}}.
== Techniques and variations ==
{{anchor|Additional comments or quotes}}
=== Adding additional comments or quotes ===
The templates {{tl2|harvnb}} or {{tl2|harvtxt}} can be used to add quotes or additional comments into the footnote, in the form of in-text attributions.
{{markup

}}
===Adding a URL for the page or location===
If a specific link to the page or section is available, a [[Uniform Resource Locator|URL]] can be added to the location or page number.
{{markup
|<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">Article text.{{sfn|Smith|2011|p=[https://en.wikipedia.org 3]}}
Other article text.{{sfn|Smith|2011|loc=[https://en.wikipedia.org §7]}}

|* {{cite book | last = Smith | date = 2011 | title = Smith's book }}
}}}}
(See [[#url weirdness|below]] for a potential issue with this technique.)
===Citations inside explanatory footnotes===
Sometimes an explanatory footnote requires a citation. There are several acceptable solutions.
It is currently disputed (June 2026) whether parenthetical referencing (or narrative referencing, i.e. in-text attribution serving as referencing) is deprecated inside {{tag|ref}} tags used for explanatory footnotes.
Citations using {{tl1|sfn}} can't be directly embedded between {{tag|ref}} tags, because the following message will be produced: {{small|{{error|Cite error references missing group||nocat=true}}}}. But {{tl1|sfn}} can be used with templates {{tl1|efn}} and {{tl1|notelist}}, which separates the explanatory footnotes from the short citations, as shown in this example. (See also [[Chinese Room]], which is an article that makes extensive use of this technique.)

}}
===Multiple lists of inline citations===
Sometimes there is a need to create two or more separate lists of inline footnotes. For example some family trees are contained in templates, they are transluded into several biographies, and they have their own self contained citations (see [[Template:Houston family tree]] and the article [[Margaret Lea Houston]]).
To facilitate this, while the main page uses the standard 1,2,3 footnote counting, it is common for family trees to use the efn template with a group parameter set—for example {{tlx|efn-lg}} (lower-greek). The efn templates are text templates, to link some or all of the content of the efn template to a long citation template such as {{tlx|cite book}} place {{tlx|harvnb}} or {{tlx|harv}} within the efn template.

{{anchor|Ps problems}}
== Other parameters ==
These parameters were designed to handle special cases that are better handled by other techniques.
===Parameter {{para|ps}}===
These templates have a parameter {{para|ps}}, designed to hold quotes and explanations.
Two or more {{tlc|sfn}} templates with the same authors, same year, and same page, but different {{para|ps}} will result in a {{small|{{error|Cite error: The named reference ... was defined multiple times with different content}}}} message. This message happens because the reference names that {{tlc|sfn}} creates will be the same, but the content between the {{tag|ref|params=name="FOOTNOTE..."|o}} tag and the {{tag|ref|c}} tag will be different.
A workaround is to convert the offending {{tlc|sfn}} templates to {{tlx|harvnb}} wrapped in {{tag|ref}} tags, as recommended in [[#Additional comments or quotes|§ Adding additional comments or quotes]]. This method is more versatile and robust.
Template {{para|ps}} also has a second (rare) use, when setting {{para|ps|none}}, which suppressed the final period. See [[#Variations in the format of the author-date citation|§ Variations in the format of the author-date citation]].
===Parameter {{para|ref}}===
The optional parameter {{para|ref}} was used to create an unusually named link from the short citation to the full citation. This typically would require setting the hand coded link on the full citation as well. It's easier to only set the link of the full citation to {{para|ref|{{tl2|sfnref}}}}.
If you specify {{para|ref|none}}, no hyperlink is created. However, if one does not want the link, it is always possible to simply use plain text instead of the template.
The parameter only appears in <nowiki>{{harv*}}</nowiki> templates, and may still appear in a few articles.
==Open problems==
===Link works but displays a no target error===
When a short-cite template links to a full citation that is rendered by a template that wraps a CS1 template, like {{txl|cite DNB}} (which wraps {{txl|cite encyclopedia}}), a {{error-small|no target}} error may be displayed even when the short-cite template is valid and the link works. That is a "false positive" error. The error message can be suppressed by adding {{para|ignore-err|yes}} to the template, or by adding the template {{t|Sfn whitelist}} with the anchor ID(s) to the article. If you are testing changes in [[Special:ExpandTemplates]] and the error message cannot be suppressed, try testing in a sandbox or user subpage instead.
==={{ucfirst:sfn}} embedded in list-defined ref does not work===
If you [[Help:Footnotes#embedding references|embed]] an {{ucfirst:sfn}} 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}}.
==Implementation notes==
These templates use two elements: a [[wikilink]] in the body of the article, and an [[WP:ANCHOR DEF|anchor]] in the reference section of the article. Clicking on the wikilink repositions the page at the anchor.
===Citation template [[HTML element#Links and anchors|anchor]]===
{{See also|Wikipedia:Citation templates and reference anchors}}
The most common citation templates are {{cs1}} or {{cs2}}. By default, [[Module:Citation/CS1]] creates an [[HTML element#Links and anchors|anchor]] {{tag|a|o|params=name="CITEREF"}} followed by the concatenation of the following parameters:
* '''last''' or '''last1''' or '''surname''' or '''surname1''' or '''author-last''' or '''author-last1''' or '''author1-last''' or '''author-surname''' or '''author-surname1''' or '''author1-surname''' or '''author''' or '''author1''' or '''authors''',
* '''last2''' or '''surname2''' or '''author-last2''' or '''author2-last''' or '''author-surname2''' or '''author2-surname''' or '''author2''',
* '''last3''' or '''surname3''' or '''author-last3''' or '''author3-last''' or '''author-surname3''' or '''author3-surname''' or '''author3''',
* '''last4''' or '''surname4''' or '''author-last4''' or '''author4-last''' or '''author-surname4''' or '''author4-surname''' or '''author4''',
* '''editor-last''' or '''editor-last1''' or '''editor1-last''' or '''editor-surname''' or '''editor-surname1''' or '''editor1-surname''' or '''editor1''' or '''editor''',
* '''editor-last2''' or '''editor2-last''' or '''editor-surname2''' or '''editor2-surname''' or '''editor2''',
* '''editor-last3''' or '''editor3-last''' or '''editor-surname3''' or '''editor3-surname''' or '''editor3''',
* '''editor-last4''' or '''editor4-last''' or '''editor-surname4''' or '''editor4-surname''' or '''editor4''',
* '''date''', '''year'''
This covers the most common templates. Information about all of the templates is available at [[Wikipedia:Citation templates and reference anchors]].
Use of the '''date''' parameter in place of the '''year''' parameter in citation templates is preferred.
===Harvard citation wikilink===
The Harvard citation templates create a [[wikilink]] to the anchor. For example {{tlx|Harv|Smith|2006|4=p=25}} produces the link {{code|#CITEREFSmith2006}} and {{tlx|Citation|2=last=Smith|3=first=John|4=date=27 January 2006|5=title=My Life}} produces the anchor {{code|CITEREFSmith2006}}.
===Using CITEREF directly===
{{Shortcut|WP:CITEREF}}
A few articles create a custom ID using {{code|CITEREF}}, either in place of the Harvard citation template (e.g. <code><nowiki>[[#CITEREFSmith2006|(2006)]]</nowiki></code>) or as a value for {{para|ref}} in the citation template.
{{Refname rules|A custom ID must follow these rules:|
* If CITEREF is used, then spaces in the {{para|ref}} field must be replaced with underscores}}
Examples:
* {{tlx|sfn|{{var|cite name}}|{{var|year}}}}
* {{tlx|cite book|2=ref=CITEREF{{var|cite_nameyear}}}}
* {{tlx|cite book|2=ref={{tl|sfnref|{{var|cite_name}}|{{var|year}}}}}}
Where {{var|cite_name}} is a name such as the publisher.
To avoid the sometimes difficult to remember syntax for links to CITEREF anchors, {{tl|citeref}} can be used to create internal wikilinks with either small superscript-style labels (like this<sup>[n]</sup>) or plain free-text labels to such anchors. It can be used inside of other citations.
Note that the {{code|CITEREF}} prefix is necessary for the [[mw:Reference Tooltips|reference tooltips gadget]] ([[MediaWiki:Gadget-ReferenceTooltips.js]]) to detect that a link goes to a citation.
===[[Template:sfn|<code><nowiki>{{sfn}}</nowiki></code>]]'s [[WP:REFNAME|ref name]]===
Template {{tl2|sfn}} creates a [[WP:REFNAME|named footnote]], so that identical footnotes are combined automatically. The footnote name begins with {{code|FOOTNOTE}} followed by a concatenation of the arguments to {{tl2|sfn}}. E.g.: this template call {{tlx|sfn|Smith|2006|4=p=26}} should have exactly the same functionality as {{tag|ref|params=name="FOOTNOTESmith200626"|content={{tl|Harvnb|Smith|2006|4=p=26}}.}} which, in turn, has the same functionality as {{tag|ref|params=name="FOOTNOTESmith200626"|content=<nowiki>[[#CITEREFSmith2006|Smith (2006)]], p.&nbsp;26.</nowiki>}}.

The ref name becomes more complicated when the page (p) parameter includes a URL, e.g. {{tlg|sfn|Joyce|1903|p{{=}}[https://archive.org/details/aconcisehistory00joycgoog/page/n226 213]|code=on}}, which, once defined, can be called by {{tag|ref|empty|params=name="FOOTNOTEJoyce1903[httpsarchiveorgdetailsaconcisehistory00joycgoogpagen226 213]"}}. The "p=" and the characters |,:,.,/,?,=; are therefore stripped out of the URL. The content of the loc parameter is similarly appended after this.
The call to {{tl2|harvnb}} has been [[subst]]'ed for quicker load times.

{{Lua|Module:Footnotes|Module:Check for unknown parameters}}
The '''shortened footnote template''' {{tl|sfn}} creates a short [[WP:Citing sources#Short citations|author–date citation]] in a [[Wikipedia:Citing sources|footnote]], with a one-directional link to the first matching [[Wikipedia:Citation templates|citation template]] on the same page. It will combine identical footnotes automatically.
It is used to create {{sfnote|lc=y}}, a [[WP:CITESTYLE|citation style]] which pairs a short, author-date citation in a footnote with a [[WP:HOWCITE|complete citation]] in the references section at the end of the article (see example [[#Example|below]]). This citation style is used to simplify multiple citations to the same source and to reduce clutter in the edit window.
Common problems and known workarounds are given in the sections below. Use the table of contents to find what you need.
Note that the use (or even non-use) of these templates is an element of citation "style", and adding or removing them in articles with an established style should be consistent with that style. See [[WP:CITEVAR]].
==Usage==
'''Sfn''' generates an "author-date" style short-cite from the following parameters:
<div style="margin-left: 2em"><code>{{<nowiki>sfn</nowiki>| <{{var|last1}}*> | <{{var|last2}}> | <{{var|last3}}> | <{{var|last4}}> | <{{var|year}}*> | p= <{{var|page}}> | loc= <{{var|location}}> }}</code></div>
with
* <{{var|last1}}> – required; surname of first author or corporate author
* <{{var|last2}}>–<{{var|last4}}> – positional parameters; surnames of next three authors; required if available in the full citation
* <{{var|year}}> – required; four-digit year; may have a lowercase disambiguation letter, like {{pval|2012a}}
* {{para|p}} – specific page referenced in the source (alias: {{para|page}}{{hairspace}})
* {{para|pp}} – comma-separated list of [[Template:Csdoc#pages|individual pages and / or range(s) of pages]] referenced in the source (alias: {{para|pages}}{{hairspace}})
* {{para|loc}} – in-source location when {{para|p}} and {{para|pp}} are inappropriate; may be used to supplement {{para|p}} and {{para|pp}}; information such as a section or figure number. (alias: {{para|at}}{{hairspace}})
=== Example ===
Typical usage is shown in the example below. The text and the footnote are connected by a bi-directional link – clicking on the superscript takes the reader to the footnote, clicking on the footnote number takes them back to the superscript. The clicking on the short citation takes them to the full citation in the references section.
'''Sfn''' will also automatically combine identical footnotes.

Template '''sfn''' is not placed inside {{tag|ref}} tags and generates the footnote internally. (To place '''sfn''' in a footnote, see [[#A citation inside an explanatory footnote|putting a citation inside a footnote]], below.)
===Parameters===
====Author(s) and year====
The first four author surnames (or all authors if fewer than four; use the values from {{para|last''N''}} or {{para|author''N''}}{{hairspace}}) are required, followed by the year of publication (from {{para|year}} or {{para|date}}). Authors past the fourth must be omitted or an error will result.
The [[#Possible issues with author-date link|possible issues]] section below describes workarounds for various common problems, such as [[#Large number of authors|large number of authors]], [[#No author name in citation template|no author name]], [[#More than one work in a year|multiple works in the same year]], [[#Two sources with same last names and years|Two sources with same last names and years]] and others.

Use {{para|p}} for single pages; use {{para|pp}} for multiple pages (such as ranges). Use of {{para|p}} for multiple pages or {{para|pp}} for single pages can cause [[Help:Cite errors/Cite error references duplicate key|cite errors]].
{{para|loc}} can be used to specify a location in the source in another way, such as section numbers or chapters. It can also be combined with {{para|p}} or {{para|pp}}.

==Possible issues with author-date link==
{{for|information on how to turn on error messages for broken links|:Category:Harv and Sfn template errors}}
These are techniques that address various unusual difficulties with the link between the short citation and the full citation.
===Custom anchors===
A custom anchor using {{tl|sfnref}} can, at least temporarily, always make the shortened footnote look exactly the way you would like and still have a link that works. Many of the problems and workarounds below require a custom anchor.
All CS1 citation templates and several other templates allow you to set a custom anchor with parameter {{para|ref}}. The template {{tl|sfnRef}} creates an anchor that will match {{tl|sfn}}'s if it has the same parameters as {{tl|sfn}}. To use this technique, choose the name and year you would like to appear in {{tl|sfn}}, copy these parameters into {{tl|sfnRef}} and set {{tl|ref}} to the {{tl|sfnRef}}.
In other words, if you want this:
* {{tl2|sfn|<*''name you want''>|<''year''>|<''page / location''>}}
then set this:
* {{para|ref|{{tl2|sfnRef|<''name you want''>|<''year''>}}}}
in the template, and the link should work correctly.
The parameters must be <em>identical</em> in every respect. If the year is unusual (i.e. not a number), then include the year in the name and don't use the year position.
===Large number of authors===
If there are more than four authors, the first four authors' surnames (the value in {{para|last}} or {{para|author}}) are required by the template. Listing more authors is not supported. It is also possible to use a [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]] that sets the name field to "Smith et. al.".

}}}}
===More than one work in a year===
Where there is a need to cite more than one work ''by the same author published in the same year'', the standard way to disambiguate such works is to add a letter suffix after the year, e.g. "Smith 2006a" and "Smith 2006b".
Set the year element of the {{tlc|sfn}} templates (e.g. {{tlc|sfn|Smith|2006a}} and {{tlc|sfn|Smith|2006a}}), and add the disambiguation letter to the matching full citation, (e.g. <code><nowiki>{{cite book|...|last=Smith|date=2006b}}</nowiki></code>).
When {{tlc|sfn}} is used with {{tlx|citation}} or {{cs1}} templates, a year-suffix letter may be added to {{para|date}} for all accepted date formats except year-initial numeric ({{small|YYYY-MM-DD}}). It is not necessary to include both {{para|date}} and {{para|year}} (see exception [[#NB_YEAR|below]]). If both are included, {{para|year}} is used for the <code>CITEREF</code> anchor to be compliant with legacy citations.
:{{para|date|2013a}}: simple year only dates
:{{para|date|Jan 2013b}} or {{para|date|Winter 2013b}}: month or season and year dates
:{{para|date|9 November 2013b}} or {{para|date|November 9, 2013b}}: full dates
:{{para|date|June–July 2013c}} or {{para|date|Winter–Spring 2013c}}: month or season ranges and year dates
:{{para|date|c. 2013d}}: circa year dates
:{{para|date|{{#time:Y}}–{{#time:Y|now +1 year}}e}} or {{para|date|Summer {{#time:Y}}–{{#time:y|now +1 year}}e}}: year ranges
:{{para|date|n.d.f}}: no date (n.d.)
:{{anchor|NB_YEAR}}<s>{{para|date|2013g-11-09}}</s>: not supported, the template must use {{para|year|2013g}}. If month and day should be part of the citation as well, both parameters need to be given: {{para|date|2013-11-09}} {{para|year|2013x}}. In this case, {{para|date}} is used for citation display and metadata purposes, and {{para|year}} for link disambiguation.

===Two sources with same last names and years ===
An article might cite works from the same year by two different authors with the same last name. For example, an article might cite psychoanalysts [[Anna Freud]] and [[Sigmund Freud]], who both wrote books in the same year.
There are two solutions: it's possible to use the same technique described in the previous section. To differentiate between the two books, the first one can be given the year "1928a" and the second one "1928b".
Or, you can create a [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]] that adds an initial to the name fields, e.g. "A. Freud" and "S. Freud". The links will no longer conflict.
{{markup

===Citation template has no year but has a date===
Either the {{para|date}} or {{para|year}} of a citation template can be matched—the template logic can extract the year from a full date. If the date parameter is not a full date, then the extraction will fail. If the link does not seem to work, it also possible to set both {{para|date}} and {{para|year}} parameters. The template will display the date and use the year for the anchor. These two examples show a year being successfully extracted from full date.

===Citation template has no date===
If the cited source does not have a date, you can use {{para|date|n.d.}} for the full citation and "n.d." in place of the date for the short citation:
{{markup
|<nowiki>This is a fact.{{sfn|Smith|n.d.}}
==Notes==
{{reflist}}
==References==
* {{Citation |last=Smith |title=Title |date=n.d. |publisher=Publisher |mode=cs1}}</nowiki>

{{fake heading|sub=3|Notes}}
{{reflist}}
{{fake heading|sub=3|References}}
* {{Citation |last=Smith |title=Title |date=n.d. |publisher=Publisher |mode=cs1}}
}}
===Citation template has no author name===
Some sources do not have a single author with a last name, such as a magazine article or a report from a government institution. There is no consensus (in Wikipedia or among citation styles) about how to format author–date citations for works that do not have a specific author. Several choices are:
# The title of the article, or a shortened form of the title, is recommended by some style guides.
# For a newspaper or periodical, you may use the name of the paper and the date.
# For a publication by an institution, use either:
## The initials of the institution
## The name of the institution
# Other style guides recommend using "Anonymous" or "Anon."
An article should adopt one of these styles consistently.
Use a [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]] to replace set the author name to one of these other choices, as shown in these examples below.

=== Citation template has no author, date or title ===
If the cited source does not have a date, author, or title, place a description of the source within brackets for the {{para|title}} parameter, use {{para|date|n.d.}} and create [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]] with the description in the name position and "n.d." in the year.

You could also use CITEREF directly with a concatenation of <code>#CITEREF</code> plus the parameters passed to the Harvard citation template.
===Citation template does not support any kind of anchor===
{{See section|Wikipedia:Citation templates and reference anchors|Citation templates that create anchors}}
There are a few templates that do not support any kind of anchor, including {{tl|cite report}}, {{tl|cite music release notes}}, {{tl|cite DVD-notes}}, {{tl|cite episode}} and others.
It is possible to use {{tl|wikicite}} to create an anchor. It has a {{para|ref}} parameter which can be set to a [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]]. In this example, the publisher is considered the editor.

===No citation template ===
If the citation is handwritten you should consider the citation format of the article. If citation templates are used often in this article, then check [[WP:Citation templates]] and try to find one that works for this source. If no template can be found, then this may be a source which can't be represented in our citation templates.
Use {{tl2|wikicite}} to make an anchor, setting Wikicite's {{para|ref}} to a [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]].

===Wikilink to citation does not work===
If an article is using this template, and nothing happens when you click on the highlighted [[wikilink]] from a [[WP:SHORTCITE|short citation]] using a template to a [[WP:SHORTCITE|full citation]] at the bottom of the page, there are several possible solutions. If:
# Templates like this one are rarely used in this article. '''Solution''': Remove this template and format the citation in the style used most often in the article.
# The correct full citation does ''not'' appear at the bottom of the article. '''Solution''': Find the source (it may be copied from an article on a similar subject), and check that it verifies the text. If the source can't be found, replace this template with {{tl2|citation not found}}.
# The correct full citation appears at the bottom of the article, and
## The full citation uses a template from the list at [[Help:Citation Style 1|Citation Style 1]]:
### The citation template has only {{para|author}} set. '''Solution''': Either (a) split the author name in to {{para|last}} and {{para|first}} in the full citation or (b) use the full name in the short citation, being careful to be consistent with the other citations in the article.
### The name in the short citation is spelled or capitalized differently than in the full citation. '''Solution''': Check the source for the correct spelling, and use the same spelling, spacing, and capitalization in both the short and full citations.
### There is more than one full citation with the same last name(s) and year. '''Solution''': See [[#More than one work in a year|§More than one work in a year]] or [[#Two sources with same last names and years|§Two sources with same last names and years]].
### The year is different here than the full citation. '''Solution''': Check the source for the correct year, and use the same year in both the short and full citations.
### The template has a {{para|date}} field and no {{para|year}} field, but the format of the {{para|date}} field is unusual. '''Solution''': Try to fix the date. If the link still does not work, add {{para|year}} to the citation template. (It's okay if it has both.)
### The template does not have a year, or the year is set to "n.d." (no date). '''Solution''': Set the date field of this template to "n.d.".
### The template does not have an author's or an editor's, last name (authors take precedence over editors). '''Solution''': See [[#Citation template has no author name|§Citation template has no author name]], above.
### The template has no author, date or title. '''Solution''': See [[#Citation template has no author, date or title|§Citation template has no author, date or title]]]
##The citation template doesn't automatically create the anchor, but has {{para|ref}}. '''Solution''': See [[#Citation template doesn't create a compatible anchor but has %7Cref=|§Citation template doesn't create a compatible anchor but has {{para|ref}}]], above.
##The citation template doesn't support anchors at all. '''Solution''': See [[#Citation template does not support any kind of anchor|§Citation format does not support any kind of anchor]], above.
##The full citation is handwritten.
### There are no other citation templates in the article. This is probably because local editors prefer it that way. '''Solution''': You should adapt to the style of the article. This would probably entail removing this template and formatting the short citation in plain text or replacing it with a full citation in {{tag|ref}} tags.
### There are citation templates used liberally throughout the article. '''Solution''': Reformat the source with the appropriate {{cite *}} template (and set the {{para|ref}} appropriately, if necessary).
### No appropriate template can be found. '''Solution''': See [[#No citation template|§No citation template]], above.
Templates that have broken [[wikilink]]s using these templates are added to the category {{cat|All articles with broken links to citations}}.
== Techniques and variations ==
{{anchor|Additional comments or quotes}}
=== Adding additional comments or quotes ===
The templates {{tl2|harvnb}} or {{tl2|harvtxt}} can be used to add quotes or additional comments into the footnote, in the form of in-text attributions.
{{markup
|<nowiki>

}}
===Adding a URL for the page or location===
If a specific link to the page or section is available, a [[Uniform Resource Locator|URL]] can be added to the location or page number.
{{markup
|<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">Article text.{{sfn|Smith|2011|p=[https://en.wikipedia.org 3]}}
Other article text.{{sfn|Smith|2011|loc=[https://en.wikipedia.org §7]}}

|* {{cite book | last = Smith | date = 2011 | title = Smith's book }}
}}}}
(See [[#url weirdness|below]] for a potential issue with this technique.)
===Citations inside explanatory footnotes===
Sometimes an explanatory footnote requires a citation. There are several acceptable solutions.
It is currently disputed (June 2026) whether parenthetical referencing (or narrative referencing, i.e. in-text attribution serving as referencing) is deprecated inside {{tag|ref}} tags used for explanatory footnotes.
Citations using {{tl1|sfn}} can't be directly embedded between {{tag|ref}} tags, because the following message will be produced: {{small|{{error|Cite error references missing group||nocat=true}}}}. But {{tl1|sfn}} can be used with templates {{tl1|efn}} and {{tl1|notelist}}, which separates the explanatory footnotes from the short citations, as shown in this example. (See also [[Chinese Room]], which is an article that makes extensive use of this technique.)

}}
===Multiple lists of inline citations===
Sometimes there is a need to create two or more separate lists of inline footnotes. For example some family trees are contained in templates, they are transluded into several biographies, and they have their own self contained citations (see [[Template:Houston family tree]] and the article [[Margaret Lea Houston]]).
To facilitate this, while the main page uses the standard 1,2,3 footnote counting, it is common for family trees to use the efn template with a group parameter set—for example {{tlx|efn-lg}} (lower-greek). The efn templates are text templates, to link some or all of the content of the efn template to a long citation template such as {{tlx|cite book}} place {{tlx|harvnb}} or {{tlx|harv}} within the efn template.

{{anchor|Ps problems}}
== Other parameters ==
These parameters were designed to handle special cases that are better handled by other techniques.
===Parameter {{para|ps}}===
These templates have a parameter {{para|ps}}, designed to hold quotes and explanations.
Two or more {{tlc|sfn}} templates with the same authors, same year, and same page, but different {{para|ps}} will result in a {{small|{{error|Cite error: The named reference ... was defined multiple times with different content}}}} message. This message happens because the reference names that {{tlc|sfn}} creates will be the same, but the content between the {{tag|ref|params=name="FOOTNOTE..."|o}} tag and the {{tag|ref|c}} tag will be different.
A workaround is to convert the offending {{tlc|sfn}} templates to {{tlx|harvnb}} wrapped in {{tag|ref}} tags, as recommended in [[#Additional comments or quotes|§ Adding additional comments or quotes]]. This method is more versatile and robust.
Template {{para|ps}} also has a second (rare) use, when setting {{para|ps|none}}, which suppressed the final period. See [[#Variations in the format of the author-date citation|§ Variations in the format of the author-date citation]].
===Parameter {{para|ref}}===
The optional parameter {{para|ref}} was used to create an unusually named link from the short citation to the full citation. This typically would require setting the hand coded link on the full citation as well. It's easier to only set the link of the full citation to {{para|ref|{{tl2|sfnref}}}}.
If you specify {{para|ref|none}}, no hyperlink is created. However, if one does not want the link, it is always possible to simply use plain text instead of the template.
The parameter only appears in <nowiki>{{harv*}}</nowiki> templates, and may still appear in a few articles.
==Open problems==
===Link works but displays a no target error===
When a short-cite template links to a full citation that is rendered by a template that wraps a CS1 template, like {{txl|cite DNB}} (which wraps {{txl|cite encyclopedia}}), a {{error-small|no target}} error may be displayed even when the short-cite template is valid and the link works. That is a "false positive" error. The error message can be suppressed by adding {{para|ignore-err|yes}} to the template, or by adding the template {{t|Sfn whitelist}} with the anchor ID(s) to the article. If you are testing changes in [[Special:ExpandTemplates]] and the error message cannot be suppressed, try testing in a sandbox or user subpage instead.
==={{ucfirst:sfn}} embedded in list-defined ref does not work===
If you [[Help:Footnotes#embedding references|embed]] an {{ucfirst:sfn}} 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}}.
==Implementation notes==
These templates use two elements: a [[wikilink]] in the body of the article, and an [[WP:ANCHOR DEF|anchor]] in the reference section of the article. Clicking on the wikilink repositions the page at the anchor.
===Citation template [[HTML element#Links and anchors|anchor]]===
{{See also|Wikipedia:Citation templates and reference anchors}}
The most common citation templates are {{cs1}} or {{cs2}}. By default, [[Module:Citation/CS1]] creates an [[HTML element#Links and anchors|anchor]] {{tag|a|o|params=name="CITEREF"}} followed by the concatenation of the following parameters:
* '''last''' or '''last1''' or '''surname''' or '''surname1''' or '''author-last''' or '''author-last1''' or '''author1-last''' or '''author-surname''' or '''author-surname1''' or '''author1-surname''' or '''author''' or '''author1''' or '''authors''',
* '''last2''' or '''surname2''' or '''author-last2''' or '''author2-last''' or '''author-surname2''' or '''author2-surname''' or '''author2''',
* '''last3''' or '''surname3''' or '''author-last3''' or '''author3-last''' or '''author-surname3''' or '''author3-surname''' or '''author3''',
* '''last4''' or '''surname4''' or '''author-last4''' or '''author4-last''' or '''author-surname4''' or '''author4-surname''' or '''author4''',
* '''editor-last''' or '''editor-last1''' or '''editor1-last''' or '''editor-surname''' or '''editor-surname1''' or '''editor1-surname''' or '''editor1''' or '''editor''',
* '''editor-last2''' or '''editor2-last''' or '''editor-surname2''' or '''editor2-surname''' or '''editor2''',
* '''editor-last3''' or '''editor3-last''' or '''editor-surname3''' or '''editor3-surname''' or '''editor3''',
* '''editor-last4''' or '''editor4-last''' or '''editor-surname4''' or '''editor4-surname''' or '''editor4''',
* '''date''', '''year'''
This covers the most common templates. Information about all of the templates is available at [[Wikipedia:Citation templates and reference anchors]].
Use of the '''date''' parameter in place of the '''year''' parameter in citation templates is preferred.
===Harvard citation wikilink===
The Harvard citation templates create a [[wikilink]] to the anchor. For example {{tlx|Harv|Smith|2006|4=p=25}} produces the link {{code|#CITEREFSmith2006}} and {{tlx|Citation|2=last=Smith|3=first=John|4=date=27 January 2006|5=title=My Life}} produces the anchor {{code|CITEREFSmith2006}}.
===Using CITEREF directly===
{{Shortcut|WP:CITEREF}}
A few articles create a custom ID using {{code|CITEREF}}, either in place of the Harvard citation template (e.g. <code><nowiki>[[#CITEREFSmith2006|(2006)]]</nowiki></code>) or as a value for {{para|ref}} in the citation template.
{{Refname rules|A custom ID must follow these rules:|
* If CITEREF is used, then spaces in the {{para|ref}} field must be replaced with underscores}}
Examples:
* {{tlx|sfn|{{var|cite name}}|{{var|year}}}}
* {{tlx|cite book|2=ref=CITEREF{{var|cite_nameyear}}}}
* {{tlx|cite book|2=ref={{tl|sfnref|{{var|cite_name}}|{{var|year}}}}}}
Where {{var|cite_name}} is a name such as the publisher.
To avoid the sometimes difficult to remember syntax for links to CITEREF anchors, {{tl|citeref}} can be used to create internal wikilinks with either small superscript-style labels (like this<sup>[n]</sup>) or plain free-text labels to such anchors. It can be used inside of other citations.
Note that the {{code|CITEREF}} prefix is necessary for the [[mw:Reference Tooltips|reference tooltips gadget]] ([[MediaWiki:Gadget-ReferenceTooltips.js]]) to detect that a link goes to a citation.
===[[Template:sfn|<code><nowiki>{{sfn}}</nowiki></code>]]'s [[WP:REFNAME|ref name]]===
Template {{tl2|sfn}} creates a [[WP:REFNAME|named footnote]], so that identical footnotes are combined automatically. The footnote name begins with {{code|FOOTNOTE}} followed by a concatenation of the arguments to {{tl2|sfn}}. E.g.: this template call {{tlx|sfn|Smith|2006|4=p=26}} should have exactly the same functionality as {{tag|ref|params=name="FOOTNOTESmith200626"|content={{tl|Harvnb|Smith|2006|4=p=26}}.}} which, in turn, has the same functionality as {{tag|ref|params=name="FOOTNOTESmith200626"|content=<nowiki>[[#CITEREFSmith2006|Smith (2006)]], p.&nbsp;26.</nowiki>}}.

The ref name becomes more complicated when the page (p) parameter includes a URL, e.g. {{tlg|sfn|Joyce|1903|p{{=}}[https://archive.org/details/aconcisehistory00joycgoog/page/n226 213]|code=on}}, which, once defined, can be called by {{tag|ref|empty|params=name="FOOTNOTEJoyce1903[httpsarchiveorgdetailsaconcisehistory00joycgoogpagen226 213]"}}. The "p=" and the characters |,:,.,/,?,=; are therefore stripped out of the URL. The content of the loc parameter is similarly appended after this.
The call to {{tl2|harvnb}} has been [[subst]]'ed for quicker load times.

{{Lua|Module:Footnotes|Module:Check for unknown parameters}}
The '''shortened footnote template''' {{tl|sfn}} creates a short [[WP:Citing sources#Short citations|author–date citation]] in a [[Wikipedia:Citing sources|footnote]], with a one-directional link to the first matching [[Wikipedia:Citation templates|citation template]] on the same page. It will combine identical footnotes automatically.
It is used to create {{sfnote|lc=y}}, a [[WP:CITESTYLE|citation style]] which pairs a short, author-date citation in a footnote with a [[WP:HOWCITE|complete citation]] in the references section at the end of the article (see example [[#Example|below]]). This citation style is used to simplify multiple citations to the same source and to reduce clutter in the edit window.
Common problems and known workarounds are given in the sections below. Use the table of contents to find what you need.
Note that the use (or even non-use) of these templates is an element of citation "style", and adding or removing them in articles with an established style should be consistent with that style. See [[WP:CITEVAR]].
==Usage==
'''Sfn''' generates an "author-date" style short-cite from the following parameters:
<div style="margin-left: 2em"><code>{{<nowiki>sfn</nowiki>| <{{var|last1}}*> | <{{var|last2}}> | <{{var|last3}}> | <{{var|last4}}> | <{{var|year}}*> | p= <{{var|page}}> | loc= <{{var|location}}> }}</code></div>
with
* <{{var|last1}}> – required; surname of first author or corporate author
* <{{var|last2}}>–<{{var|last4}}> – positional parameters; surnames of next three authors; required if available in the full citation
* <{{var|year}}> – required; four-digit year; may have a lowercase disambiguation letter, like {{pval|2012a}}
* {{para|p}} – specific page referenced in the source (alias: {{para|page}}{{hairspace}})
* {{para|pp}} – comma-separated list of [[Template:Csdoc#pages|individual pages and / or range(s) of pages]] referenced in the source (alias: {{para|pages}}{{hairspace}})
* {{para|loc}} – in-source location when {{para|p}} and {{para|pp}} are inappropriate; may be used to supplement {{para|p}} and {{para|pp}}; information such as a section or figure number. (alias: {{para|at}}{{hairspace}})
=== Example ===
Typical usage is shown in the example below. The text and the footnote are connected by a bi-directional link – clicking on the superscript takes the reader to the footnote, clicking on the footnote number takes them back to the superscript. The clicking on the short citation takes them to the full citation in the references section.
'''Sfn''' will also automatically combine identical footnotes.

Template '''sfn''' is not placed inside {{tag|ref}} tags and generates the footnote internally. (To place '''sfn''' in a footnote, see [[#A citation inside an explanatory footnote|putting a citation inside a footnote]], below.)
===Parameters===
====Author(s) and year====
The first four author surnames (or all authors if fewer than four; use the values from {{para|last''N''}} or {{para|author''N''}}{{hairspace}}) are required, followed by the year of publication (from {{para|year}} or {{para|date}}). Authors past the fourth must be omitted or an error will result.
The [[#Possible issues with author-date link|possible issues]] section below describes workarounds for various common problems, such as [[#Large number of authors|large number of authors]], [[#No author name in citation template|no author name]], [[#More than one work in a year|multiple works in the same year]], [[#Two sources with same last names and years|Two sources with same last names and years]] and others.

Use {{para|p}} for single pages; use {{para|pp}} for multiple pages (such as ranges). Use of {{para|p}} for multiple pages or {{para|pp}} for single pages can cause [[Help:Cite errors/Cite error references duplicate key|cite errors]].
{{para|loc}} can be used to specify a location in the source in another way, such as section numbers or chapters. It can also be combined with {{para|p}} or {{para|pp}}.

==Possible issues with author-date link==
{{for|information on how to turn on error messages for broken links|:Category:Harv and Sfn template errors}}
These are techniques that address various unusual difficulties with the link between the short citation and the full citation.
===Custom anchors===
A custom anchor using {{tl|sfnref}} can, at least temporarily, always make the shortened footnote look exactly the way you would like and still have a link that works. Many of the problems and workarounds below require a custom anchor.
All CS1 citation templates and several other templates allow you to set a custom anchor with parameter {{para|ref}}. The template {{tl|sfnRef}} creates an anchor that will match {{tl|sfn}}'s if it has the same parameters as {{tl|sfn}}. To use this technique, choose the name and year you would like to appear in {{tl|sfn}}, copy these parameters into {{tl|sfnRef}} and set {{tl|ref}} to the {{tl|sfnRef}}.
In other words, if you want this:
* {{tl2|sfn|<*''name you want''>|<''year''>|<''page / location''>}}
then set this:
* {{para|ref|{{tl2|sfnRef|<''name you want''>|<''year''>}}}}
in the template, and the link should work correctly.
The parameters must be <em>identical</em> in every respect. If the year is unusual (i.e. not a number), then include the year in the name and don't use the year position.
===Large number of authors===
If there are more than four authors, the first four authors' surnames (the value in {{para|last}} or {{para|author}}) are required by the template. Listing more authors is not supported. It is also possible to use a [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]] that sets the name field to "Smith et. al.".

}}}}
===More than one work in a year===
Where there is a need to cite more than one work ''by the same author published in the same year'', the standard way to disambiguate such works is to add a letter suffix after the year, e.g. "Smith 2006a" and "Smith 2006b".
Set the year element of the {{tlc|sfn}} templates (e.g. {{tlc|sfn|Smith|2006a}} and {{tlc|sfn|Smith|2006a}}), and add the disambiguation letter to the matching full citation, (e.g. <code><nowiki>{{cite book|...|last=Smith|date=2006b}}</nowiki></code>).
When {{tlc|sfn}} is used with {{tlx|citation}} or {{cs1}} templates, a year-suffix letter may be added to {{para|date}} for all accepted date formats except year-initial numeric ({{small|YYYY-MM-DD}}). It is not necessary to include both {{para|date}} and {{para|year}} (see exception [[#NB_YEAR|below]]). If both are included, {{para|year}} is used for the <code>CITEREF</code> anchor to be compliant with legacy citations.
:{{para|date|2013a}}: simple year only dates
:{{para|date|Jan 2013b}} or {{para|date|Winter 2013b}}: month or season and year dates
:{{para|date|9 November 2013b}} or {{para|date|November 9, 2013b}}: full dates
:{{para|date|June–July 2013c}} or {{para|date|Winter–Spring 2013c}}: month or season ranges and year dates
:{{para|date|c. 2013d}}: circa year dates
:{{para|date|{{#time:Y}}–{{#time:Y|now +1 year}}e}} or {{para|date|Summer {{#time:Y}}–{{#time:y|now +1 year}}e}}: year ranges
:{{para|date|n.d.f}}: no date (n.d.)
:{{anchor|NB_YEAR}}<s>{{para|date|2013g-11-09}}</s>: not supported, the template must use {{para|year|2013g}}. If month and day should be part of the citation as well, both parameters need to be given: {{para|date|2013-11-09}} {{para|year|2013x}}. In this case, {{para|date}} is used for citation display and metadata purposes, and {{para|year}} for link disambiguation.

===Two sources with same last names and years ===
An article might cite works from the same year by two different authors with the same last name. For example, an article might cite psychoanalysts [[Anna Freud]] and [[Sigmund Freud]], who both wrote books in the same year.
There are two solutions: it's possible to use the same technique described in the previous section. To differentiate between the two books, the first one can be given the year "1928a" and the second one "1928b".
Or, you can create a [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]] that adds an initial to the name fields, e.g. "A. Freud" and "S. Freud". The links will no longer conflict.
{{markup

===Citation template has no year but has a date===
Either the {{para|date}} or {{para|year}} of a citation template can be matched—the template logic can extract the year from a full date. If the date parameter is not a full date, then the extraction will fail. If the link does not seem to work, it also possible to set both {{para|date}} and {{para|year}} parameters. The template will display the date and use the year for the anchor. These two examples show a year being successfully extracted from full date.

===Citation template has no date===
If the cited source does not have a date, you can use {{para|date|n.d.}} for the full citation and "n.d." in place of the date for the short citation:
{{markup
|<nowiki>This is a fact.{{sfn|Smith|n.d.}}
==Notes==
{{reflist}}
==References==
* {{Citation |last=Smith |title=Title |date=n.d. |publisher=Publisher |mode=cs1}}</nowiki>

{{fake heading|sub=3|Notes}}
{{reflist}}
{{fake heading|sub=3|References}}
* {{Citation |last=Smith |title=Title |date=n.d. |publisher=Publisher |mode=cs1}}
}}
===Citation template has no author name===
Some sources do not have a single author with a last name, such as a magazine article or a report from a government institution. There is no consensus (in Wikipedia or among citation styles) about how to format author–date citations for works that do not have a specific author. Several choices are:
# The title of the article, or a shortened form of the title, is recommended by some style guides.
# For a newspaper or periodical, you may use the name of the paper and the date.
# For a publication by an institution, use either:
## The initials of the institution
## The name of the institution
# Other style guides recommend using "Anonymous" or "Anon."
An article should adopt one of these styles consistently.
Use a [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]] to replace set the author name to one of these other choices, as shown in these examples below.

=== Citation template has no author, date or title ===
If the cited source does not have a date, author, or title, place a description of the source within brackets for the {{para|title}} parameter, use {{para|date|n.d.}} and create [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]] with the description in the name position and "n.d." in the year.

{{See section|Wikipedia:Citation templates and reference anchors|Citation templates that create anchors}}
Some templates, such as {{tl|cite comic}}, {{tl|cite thesis}} and {{tl|cite comic}} use the parameter {{para|ref}} to create an anchor for the short citation. This can be used to set a [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]] for {{tl|sfn}}

You could also use CITEREF directly with a concatenation of <code>#CITEREF</code> plus the parameters passed to the Harvard citation template.
===Citation template does not support any kind of anchor===
{{See section|Wikipedia:Citation templates and reference anchors|Citation templates that create anchors}}
There are a few templates that do not support any kind of anchor, including {{tl|cite report}}, {{tl|cite music release notes}}, {{tl|cite DVD-notes}}, {{tl|cite episode}} and others.
It is possible to use {{tl|wikicite}} to create an anchor. It has a {{para|ref}} parameter which can be set to a [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]]. In this example, the publisher is considered the editor.

===No citation template ===
If the citation is handwritten you should consider the citation format of the article. If citation templates are used often in this article, then check [[WP:Citation templates]] and try to find one that works for this source. If no template can be found, then this may be a source which can't be represented in our citation templates.
Use {{tl2|wikicite}} to make an anchor, setting Wikicite's {{para|ref}} to a [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]].

===Wikilink to citation does not work===
If an article is using this template, and nothing happens when you click on the highlighted [[wikilink]] from a [[WP:SHORTCITE|short citation]] using a template to a [[WP:SHORTCITE|full citation]] at the bottom of the page, there are several possible solutions. If:
# Templates like this one are rarely used in this article. '''Solution''': Remove this template and format the citation in the style used most often in the article.
# The correct full citation does ''not'' appear at the bottom of the article. '''Solution''': Find the source (it may be copied from an article on a similar subject), and check that it verifies the text. If the source can't be found, replace this template with {{tl2|citation not found}}.
# The correct full citation appears at the bottom of the article, and
## The full citation uses a template from the list at [[Help:Citation Style 1|Citation Style 1]]:
### The citation template has only {{para|author}} set. '''Solution''': Either (a) split the author name in to {{para|last}} and {{para|first}} in the full citation or (b) use the full name in the short citation. Be careful in either case to be consistent with the other citations in the article.
### The name in the short citation is spelled or capitalized differently than in the full citation. '''Solution''': Check the source for the correct spelling, and use the same spelling, spacing, and capitalization in both the short and full citations.
### There is more than one full citation with the same last name(s) and year. '''Solution''': See [[#More than one work in a year|§More than one work in a year]] or [[#Two sources with same last names and years|§Two sources with same last names and years]].
### The year is different here than the full citation. '''Solution''': Check the source for the correct year, and use the same year in both the short and full citations.
### The template has a {{para|date}} field and no {{para|year}} field, but the format of the {{para|date}} field is unusual. '''Solution''': Try to fix the date. If the link still does not work, add {{para|year}} to the citation template. (It's okay if it has both.)
### The template does not have a year, or the year is set to "n.d." (no date). '''Solution''': Set the date field of this template to "n.d.".
### The template does not have an author's or an editor's, last name (authors take precedence over editors). '''Solution''': See [[#Citation template has no author name|§Citation template has no author name]], above.
### The template has no author, date or title. '''Solution''': See [[#Citation template has no author, date or title|§Citation template has no author, date or title]]]
##The citation template doesn't automatically create the anchor, but has {{para|ref}}. '''Solution''': See [[#Citation template doesn't create a compatible anchor but has %7Cref=|§Citation template doesn't create a compatible anchor but has {{para|ref}}]], above.
##The citation template doesn't support anchors at all. '''Solution''': See [[#Citation template does not support any kind of anchor|§Citation format does not support any kind of anchor]], above.
##The full citation is handwritten.
### There are no other citation templates in the article. This is probably because local editors prefer it that way. '''Solution''': You should adapt to the style of the article. This would probably entail removing this template and formatting the short citation in plain text or replacing it with a full citation in {{tag|ref}} tags.
### There are citation templates used liberally throughout the article. '''Solution''': Reformat the source with the appropriate {{cite *}} template (and set the {{para|ref}} appropriately, if necessary).
### No appropriate template can be found. '''Solution''': See [[#No citation template|§No citation template]], above.
Templates that have broken [[wikilink]]s using these templates are added to the category {{cat|All articles with broken links to citations}}.
== Techniques and variations ==
{{anchor|Additional comments or quotes}}
=== Adding additional comments or quotes ===
The templates {{tl2|harvnb}} or {{tl2|harvtxt}} can be used to add quotes or additional comments into the footnote, in the form of in-text attributions.
{{markup
|<nowiki>
Some information.<ref>{{harvnb|Smith|2011|p=2}}: "A quote verifying the information."</ref>

}}
===Adding a URL for the page or location===
If a specific link to the page or section is available, a [[Uniform Resource Locator|URL]] can be added to the location or page number.
{{markup
|<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">Article text.{{sfn|Smith|2011|p=[https://en.wikipedia.org 3]}}
Other article text.{{sfn|Smith|2011|loc=[https://en.wikipedia.org §7]}}

|* {{cite book | last = Smith | date = 2011 | title = Smith's book }}
}}}}
(See [[#url weirdness|below]] for a potential issue with this technique.)
===Citations inside explanatory footnotes===
Sometimes an explanatory footnote requires a citation. There are several acceptable solutions.
It is currently disputed (June 2026) whether parenthetical referencing (or narrative referencing, i.e. in-text attribution serving as referencing) is deprecated inside {{tag|ref}} tags used for explanatory footnotes.
Citations using {{tl1|sfn}} can't be directly embedded between {{tag|ref}} tags, because the following message will be produced: {{small|{{error|Cite error references missing group||nocat=true}}}}. But {{tl1|sfn}} can be used with templates {{tl1|efn}} and {{tl1|notelist}}, which separates the explanatory footnotes from the short citations, as shown in this example. (See also [[Chinese Room]], which is an article that makes extensive use of this technique.)

}}
===Multiple lists of inline citations===
Sometimes there is a need to create two or more separate lists of inline footnotes. For example some family trees are contained in templates, they are transluded into several biographies, and they have their own self contained citations (see [[Template:Houston family tree]] and the article [[Margaret Lea Houston]]).
To facilitate this, while the main page uses the standard 1,2,3 footnote counting, it is common for family trees to use the efn template with a group parameter set—for example {{tlx|efn-lg}} (lower-greek). The efn templates are text templates, to link some or all of the content of the efn template to a long citation template such as {{tlx|cite book}} place {{tlx|harvnb}} or {{tlx|harv}} within the efn template.

===More exotic Harvard citations===

{{anchor|Ps problems}}
== Other parameters ==
These parameters were designed to handle special cases that are better handled by other techniques.
===Parameter {{para|ps}}===
These templates have a parameter {{para|ps}}, designed to hold quotes and explanations.
Two or more {{tlc|sfn}} templates with the same authors, same year, and same page, but different {{para|ps}} will result in a {{small|{{error|Cite error: The named reference ... was defined multiple times with different content}}}} message. This message happens because the reference names that {{tlc|sfn}} creates will be the same, but the content between the {{tag|ref|params=name="FOOTNOTE..."|o}} tag and the {{tag|ref|c}} tag will be different.
A workaround is to convert the offending {{tlc|sfn}} templates to {{tlx|harvnb}} wrapped in {{tag|ref}} tags, as recommended in [[#Additional comments or quotes|§ Adding additional comments or quotes]]. This method is more versatile and robust.
Template {{para|ps}} also has a second (rare) use, when setting {{para|ps|none}}, which suppressed the final period. See [[#Variations in the format of the author-date citation|§ Variations in the format of the author-date citation]].
===Parameter {{para|ref}}===
The optional parameter {{para|ref}} was used to create an unusually named link from the short citation to the full citation. This typically would require setting the hand coded link on the full citation as well. It's easier to only set the link of the full citation to {{para|ref|{{tl2|sfnref}}}}.
If you specify {{para|ref|none}}, no hyperlink is created. However, if one does not want the link, it is always possible to simply use plain text instead of the template.
The parameter only appears in <nowiki>{{harv*}}</nowiki> templates, and may still appear in a few articles.
==Open problems==
===Link works but displays a no target error===
When a short-cite template links to a full citation that is rendered by a template that wraps a CS1 template, like {{txl|cite DNB}} (which wraps {{txl|cite encyclopedia}}), a {{error-small|no target}} error may be displayed even when the short-cite template is valid and the link works. That is a "false positive" error. The error message can be suppressed by adding {{para|ignore-err|yes}} to the template, or by adding the template {{t|Sfn whitelist}} with the anchor ID(s) to the article. If you are testing changes in [[Special:ExpandTemplates]] and the error message cannot be suppressed, try testing in a sandbox or user subpage instead.
==={{ucfirst:sfn}} embedded in list-defined ref does not work===
If you [[Help:Footnotes#embedding references|embed]] an {{ucfirst:sfn}} 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}}.
==Implementation notes==
These templates use two elements: a [[wikilink]] in the body of the article, and an [[WP:ANCHOR DEF|anchor]] in the reference section of the article. Clicking on the wikilink repositions the page at the anchor.
===Citation template [[HTML element#Links and anchors|anchor]]===
{{See also|Wikipedia:Citation templates and reference anchors}}
The most common citation templates are {{cs1}} or {{cs2}}. By default, [[Module:Citation/CS1]] creates an [[HTML element#Links and anchors|anchor]] {{tag|a|o|params=name="CITEREF"}} followed by the concatenation of the following parameters:
* '''last''' or '''last1''' or '''surname''' or '''surname1''' or '''author-last''' or '''author-last1''' or '''author1-last''' or '''author-surname''' or '''author-surname1''' or '''author1-surname''' or '''author''' or '''author1''' or '''authors''',
* '''last2''' or '''surname2''' or '''author-last2''' or '''author2-last''' or '''author-surname2''' or '''author2-surname''' or '''author2''',
* '''last3''' or '''surname3''' or '''author-last3''' or '''author3-last''' or '''author-surname3''' or '''author3-surname''' or '''author3''',
* '''last4''' or '''surname4''' or '''author-last4''' or '''author4-last''' or '''author-surname4''' or '''author4-surname''' or '''author4''',
* '''editor-last''' or '''editor-last1''' or '''editor1-last''' or '''editor-surname''' or '''editor-surname1''' or '''editor1-surname''' or '''editor1''' or '''editor''',
* '''editor-last2''' or '''editor2-last''' or '''editor-surname2''' or '''editor2-surname''' or '''editor2''',
* '''editor-last3''' or '''editor3-last''' or '''editor-surname3''' or '''editor3-surname''' or '''editor3''',
* '''editor-last4''' or '''editor4-last''' or '''editor-surname4''' or '''editor4-surname''' or '''editor4''',
* '''date''', '''year'''
This covers the most common templates. Information about all of the templates is available at [[Wikipedia:Citation templates and reference anchors]].
Use of the '''date''' parameter in place of the '''year''' parameter in citation templates is preferred.
===Harvard citation wikilink===
The Harvard citation templates create a [[wikilink]] to the anchor. For example {{tlx|Harv|Smith|2006|4=p=25}} produces the link {{code|#CITEREFSmith2006}} and {{tlx|Citation|2=last=Smith|3=first=John|4=date=27 January 2006|5=title=My Life}} produces the anchor {{code|CITEREFSmith2006}}.
===Using CITEREF directly===
{{Shortcut|WP:CITEREF}}
A few articles create a custom ID using {{code|CITEREF}}, either in place of the Harvard citation template (e.g. <code><nowiki>[[#CITEREFSmith2006|(2006)]]</nowiki></code>) or as a value for {{para|ref}} in the citation template.
{{Refname rules|A custom ID must follow these rules:|
* If CITEREF is used, then spaces in the {{para|ref}} field must be replaced with underscores}}
Examples:
* {{tlx|sfn|{{var|cite name}}|{{var|year}}}}
* {{tlx|cite book|2=ref=CITEREF{{var|cite_nameyear}}}}
* {{tlx|cite book|2=ref={{tl|sfnref|{{var|cite_name}}|{{var|year}}}}}}
Where {{var|cite_name}} is a name such as the publisher.
To avoid the sometimes difficult to remember syntax for links to CITEREF anchors, {{tl|citeref}} can be used to create internal wikilinks with either small superscript-style labels (like this<sup>[n]</sup>) or plain free-text labels to such anchors. It can be used inside of other citations.
Note that the {{code|CITEREF}} prefix is necessary for the [[mw:Reference Tooltips|reference tooltips gadget]] ([[MediaWiki:Gadget-ReferenceTooltips.js]]) to detect that a link goes to a citation.
===[[Template:sfn|<code><nowiki>{{sfn}}</nowiki></code>]]'s [[WP:REFNAME|ref name]]===
Template {{tl2|sfn}} creates a [[WP:REFNAME|named footnote]], so that identical footnotes are combined automatically. The footnote name begins with {{code|FOOTNOTE}} followed by a concatenation of the arguments to {{tl2|sfn}}. E.g.: this template call {{tlx|sfn|Smith|2006|4=p=26}} should have exactly the same functionality as {{tag|ref|params=name="FOOTNOTESmith200626"|content={{tl|Harvnb|Smith|2006|4=p=26}}.}} which, in turn, has the same functionality as {{tag|ref|params=name="FOOTNOTESmith200626"|content=<nowiki>[[#CITEREFSmith2006|Smith (2006)]], p.&nbsp;26.</nowiki>}}.
{{anchor|url weirdness}}
The ref name becomes more complicated when the page (p) parameter includes a URL, e.g. {{tlg|sfn|Joyce|1903|p{{=}}[https://archive.org/details/aconcisehistory00joycgoog/page/n226 213]|code=on}}, which, once defined, can be called by {{tag|ref|empty|params=name="FOOTNOTEJoyce1903[httpsarchiveorgdetailsaconcisehistory00joycgoogpagen226 213]"}}. The "p=" and the characters |,:,.,/,?,=; are therefore stripped out of the URL. The content of the loc parameter is similarly appended after this.
The call to {{tl2|harvnb}} has been [[subst]]'ed for quicker load times.

{{Lua|Module:Footnotes|Module:Check for unknown parameters}}
The '''shortened footnote template''' {{tl|sfn}} creates a short [[WP:Citing sources#Short citations|author–date citation]] in a [[Wikipedia:Citing sources|footnote]], with a one-directional link to the first matching [[Wikipedia:Citation templates|citation template]] on the same page. It will combine identical footnotes automatically.
It is used to create {{sfnote|lc=y}}, a [[WP:CITESTYLE|citation style]] which pairs a short, author-date citation in a footnote with a [[WP:HOWCITE|complete citation]] in the references section at the end of the article (see example [[#Example|below]]). This citation style is used to simplify multiple citations to the same source and to reduce clutter in the edit window.
Common problems and known workarounds are given in the sections below. Use the table of contents to find what you need.
Note that the use (or even non-use) of these templates is an element of citation "style", and adding or removing them in articles with an established style should be consistent with that style. See [[WP:CITEVAR]].
==Usage==
'''Sfn''' generates an "author-date" style short-cite from the following parameters:
<div style="margin-left: 2em"><code>{{<nowiki>sfn</nowiki>| <{{var|last1}}*> | <{{var|last2}}> | <{{var|last3}}> | <{{var|last4}}> | <{{var|year}}*> | p= <{{var|page}}> | loc= <{{var|location}}> }}</code></div>
with
* <{{var|last1}}> – required; surname of first author or corporate author
* <{{var|last2}}>–<{{var|last4}}> – positional parameters; surnames of next three authors; required if available in the full citation
* <{{var|year}}> – required; four-digit year; may have a lowercase disambiguation letter, like {{pval|2012a}}
* {{para|p}} – specific page referenced in the source (alias: {{para|page}}{{hairspace}})
* {{para|pp}} – comma-separated list of [[Template:Csdoc#pages|individual pages and / or range(s) of pages]] referenced in the source (alias: {{para|pages}}{{hairspace}})
* {{para|loc}} – in-source location when {{para|p}} and {{para|pp}} are inappropriate; may be used to supplement {{para|p}} and {{para|pp}}; information such as a section or figure number. (alias: {{para|at}}{{hairspace}})
=== Example ===
Typical usage is shown in the example below. The text and the footnote are connected by a bi-directional link – clicking on the superscript takes the reader to the footnote, clicking on the footnote number takes them back to the superscript. The clicking on the short citation takes them to the full citation in the references section.
'''Sfn''' will also automatically combine identical footnotes.

Template '''sfn''' is not placed inside {{tag|ref}} tags and generates the footnote internally. (To place '''sfn''' in a footnote, see [[#A citation inside an explanatory footnote|putting a citation inside a footnote]], below.)
===Parameters===
====Author(s) and year====
The first four author surnames (or all authors if fewer than four; use the values from {{para|last''N''}} or {{para|author''N''}}{{hairspace}}) are required, followed by the year of publication (from {{para|year}} or {{para|date}}). Authors past the fourth must be omitted or an error will result.
The [[#Possible issues with author-date link|possible issues]] section below describes workarounds for various common problems, such as [[#Large number of authors|large number of authors]], [[#No author name in citation template|no author name]], [[#More than one work in a year|multiple works in the same year]], [[#Two sources with same last names and years|Two sources with same last names and years]] and others.

Use {{para|p}} for single pages; use {{para|pp}} for multiple pages (such as ranges). Use of {{para|p}} for multiple pages or {{para|pp}} for single pages can cause [[Help:Cite errors/Cite error references duplicate key|cite errors]].
{{para|loc}} can be used to specify a location in the source in another way, such as section numbers or chapters. It can also be combined with {{para|p}} or {{para|pp}}.

==Possible issues with author-date link==
{{for|information on how to turn on error messages for broken links|:Category:Harv and Sfn template errors}}
These are techniques that address various unusual difficulties with the link between the short citation and the full citation.
===Custom anchors===
A custom anchor using {{tl|sfnref}} can, at least temporarily, always make the shortened footnote look exactly the way you would like and still have a link that works. Many of the problems and workarounds below require a custom anchor.
All CS1 citation templates and several other templates allow you to set a custom anchor with parameter {{para|ref}}. The template {{tl|sfnRef}} creates an anchor that will match {{tl|sfn}}'s if it has the same parameters as {{tl|sfn}}. To use this technique, choose the name and year you would like to appear in {{tl|sfn}}, copy these parameters into {{tl|sfnRef}} and set {{tl|ref}} to the {{tl|sfnRef}}.
In other words, if you want this:
* {{tl2|sfn|<*''name you want''>|<''year''>|<''page / location''>}}
then set this:
* {{para|ref|{{tl2|sfnRef|<''name you want''>|<''year''>}}}}
in the template, and the link should work correctly.
The parameters must be <em>identical</em> in every respect. If the year is unusual (i.e. not a number), then include the year in the name and don't use the year position.
===Large number of authors===
If there are more than four authors, the first four authors' surnames (the value in {{para|last}} or {{para|author}}) are required by the template. Listing more authors is not supported. It is also possible to use a [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]] that sets the name field to "Smith et. al.".

}}}}
===More than one work in a year===
Where there is a need to cite more than one work ''by the same author published in the same year'', the standard way to disambiguate such works is to add a letter suffix after the year, e.g. "Smith 2006a" and "Smith 2006b".
Set the year element of the {{tlc|sfn}} templates (e.g. {{tlc|sfn|Smith|2006a}} and {{tlc|sfn|Smith|2006a}}), and add the disambiguation letter to the matching full citation, (e.g. <code><nowiki>{{cite book|...|last=Smith|date=2006b}}</nowiki></code>).
When {{tlc|sfn}} is used with {{tlx|citation}} or {{cs1}} templates, a year-suffix letter may be added to {{para|date}} for all accepted date formats except year-initial numeric ({{small|YYYY-MM-DD}}). It is not necessary to include both {{para|date}} and {{para|year}} (see exception [[#NB_YEAR|below]]). If both are included, {{para|year}} is used for the <code>CITEREF</code> anchor to be compliant with legacy citations.
:{{para|date|2013a}}: simple year only dates
:{{para|date|Jan 2013b}} or {{para|date|Winter 2013b}}: month or season and year dates
:{{para|date|9 November 2013b}} or {{para|date|November 9, 2013b}}: full dates
:{{para|date|June–July 2013c}} or {{para|date|Winter–Spring 2013c}}: month or season ranges and year dates
:{{para|date|c. 2013d}}: circa year dates
:{{para|date|{{#time:Y}}–{{#time:Y|now +1 year}}e}} or {{para|date|Summer {{#time:Y}}–{{#time:y|now +1 year}}e}}: year ranges
:{{para|date|n.d.f}}: no date (n.d.)
:{{anchor|NB_YEAR}}<s>{{para|date|2013g-11-09}}</s>: not supported, the template must use {{para|year|2013g}}. If month and day should be part of the citation as well, both parameters need to be given: {{para|date|2013-11-09}} {{para|year|2013x}}. In this case, {{para|date}} is used for citation display and metadata purposes, and {{para|year}} for link disambiguation.

===Two sources with same last names and years ===
An article might cite works from the same year by two different authors with the same last name. For example, an article might cite psychoanalysts [[Anna Freud]] and [[Sigmund Freud]], who both wrote books in the same year.
There are two solutions: it's possible to use the same technique described in the previous section. To differentiate between the two books, the first one can be given the year "1928a" and the second one "1928b".
Or, you can create a [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]] that adds an initial to the name fields, e.g. "A. Freud" and "S. Freud". The links will no longer conflict.

===Citation template has no year but has a date===
Either the {{para|date}} or {{para|year}} of a citation template can be matched—the template logic can extract the year from a full date. If the date parameter is not a full date, then the extraction will fail. If the link does not seem to work, it also possible to set both {{para|date}} and {{para|year}} parameters. The template will display the date and use the year for the anchor. These two examples show a year being successfully extracted from full date.

===Citation template has no date===
If the cited source does not have a date, you can use {{para|date|n.d.}} for the full citation and "n.d." in place of the date for the short citation:
{{markup
|<nowiki>This is a fact.{{sfn|Smith|n.d.}}
==Notes==
{{reflist}}
==References==
* {{Citation |last=Smith |title=Title |date=n.d. |publisher=Publisher |mode=cs1}}</nowiki>

{{fake heading|sub=3|Notes}}
{{reflist}}
{{fake heading|sub=3|References}}
* {{Citation |last=Smith |title=Title |date=n.d. |publisher=Publisher |mode=cs1}}
}}
===Citation template has no author name===
Some sources do not have a single author with a last name, such as a magazine article or a report from a government institution. There is no consensus (in Wikipedia or among citation styles) about how to format author–date citations for works that do not have a specific author. Several choices are:
# The title of the article, or a shortened form of the title, is recommended by some style guides.
# For a newspaper or periodical, you may use the name of the paper and the date.
# For a publication by an institution, use either:
## The initials of the institution
## The name of the institution
# Other style guides recommend using "Anonymous" or "Anon."
An article should adopt one of these styles consistently.
Use a [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]] to replace set the author name to one of these other choices, as shown in these examples below.

You could also use CITEREF directly with a concatenation of <code>#CITEREF</code> plus the parameters passed to the Harvard citation template.
===Citation template does not support any kind of anchor===
{{See section|Wikipedia:Citation templates and reference anchors|Citation templates that create anchors}}
There are a few templates that do not support any kind of anchor, including {{tl|cite report}}, {{tl|cite music release notes}}, {{tl|cite DVD-notes}}, {{tl|cite episode}} and others.
It is possible to use {{tl|wikicite}} to create an anchor. It has a {{para|ref}} parameter which can be set to a [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]]. In this example, the publisher is considered the editor.

===No citation template ===
If the citation is handwritten you should consider the citation format of the article. If citation templates are used often in this article, then check [[WP:Citation templates]] and try to find one that works for this source. If no template can be found, then this may be a source which can't be represented in our citation templates.
Use {{tl2|wikicite}} to make an anchor, setting Wikicite's {{para|ref}} to a [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]].

===Wikilink to citation does not work===
If an article is using this template, and nothing happens when you click on the highlighted [[wikilink]] from the [[WP:SHORTCITE|short citation]] to the [[WP:SHORTCITE|full citation]] at the bottom of the page, there are several possible solutions. If:
# Templates like this one are rarely used in this article. '''Solution''': Remove this template and format the citation in the style used most often in the article.
# The correct full citation does ''not'' appear at the bottom of the article. '''Solution''': Find the source (it may be copied from an article on a similar subject), and check that it verifies the text. If the source can't be found, replace this template with {{tl2|citation not found}}.
# The correct full citation appears at the bottom of the article, and
## The full citation uses a template from the list at [[Help:Citation Style 1|Citation Style 1]]:
### The citation template has only {{para|author}} set. '''Solution''': Either (a) split the author name in to {{para|last}} and {{para|first}} in the full citation or (b) use the full name in the short citation. Be careful in either case to be consistent with the other citations in the article.
### The name in the short citation is spelled or capitalized differently than in the full citation. '''Solution''': Check the source for the correct spelling, and use the same spelling, spacing, and capitalization in both the short and full citations.
### There is more than one full citation with the same last name(s) and year. '''Solution''': See [[#More than one work in a year|§More than one work in a year]] or [[#Two sources with same last names and years|§Two sources with same last names and years]].
### The year is different here than the full citation. '''Solution''': Check the source for the correct year, and use the same year in both the short and full citations.
### The template has a {{para|date}} field and no {{para|year}} field, but the format of the {{para|date}} field is unusual. '''Solution''': Try to fix the date. If the link still does not work, add {{para|year}} to the citation template. (It's okay if it has both.)
### The template does not have a year, or the date is set to "n.d." (no date). '''Solution''': Set the year field of this template to "n.d.".
### The template does not have an author's or an editor's, last name (authors take precedence over editors). '''Solution''': See [[#Citation template has no author name|§Citation template has no author name]], above.
### The template has no author, date or title. '''Solution''': See [[#Citation template has no author, date or title|§Citation template has no author, date or title]]]
##The citation template doesn't automatically create the anchor, but has {{para|ref}}. '''Solution''': See [[#Citation template doesn't create a compatible anchor but has %7Cref=|§Citation template doesn't create a compatible anchor but has {{para|ref}}]], above.
##The citation template doesn't support anchors at all. '''Solution''': See [[#Citation template does not support any kind of anchor|§Citation format does not support any kind of anchor]], above.
##The full citation is handwritten.
### There are no other citation templates in the article. This is probably because local editors prefer it that way. '''Solution''': You should adapt to the style of the article. This would probably entail removing this template and formatting the short citation in plain text or replacing it with a full citation in {{tag|ref}} tags.
### There are citation templates used liberally throughout the article. '''Solution''': Reformat the source with the appropriate {{cite *}} template (and set the {{para|ref}} appropriately, if necessary).
### No appropriate template can be found. '''Solution''': See [[#No citation template|§No citation template]], above.
Templates that have broken [[wikilink]]s using these templates are added to the category {{cat|All articles with broken links to citations}}.
== Techniques and variations ==
{{anchor|Additional comments or quotes}}
=== Adding additional comments or quotes ===
The templates {{tl2|harvnb}} or {{tl2|harvtxt}} can be used to add quotes or additional comments into the footnote, in the form of in-text attributions.
{{markup
|<nowiki>
Some information.<ref>{{harvnb|Smith|2011|p=2}}: "A quote verifying the information."</ref>
== Notes ==

}}
===Adding a URL for the page or location===
If a specific link to the page or section is available, a [[Uniform Resource Locator|URL]] can be added to the location or page number.
{{markup
|<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">Article text.{{sfn|Smith|2011|p=[https://en.wikipedia.org 3]}}
Other article text.{{sfn|Smith|2011|loc=[https://en.wikipedia.org §7]}}

|* {{cite book | last = Smith | date = 2011 | title = Smith's book }}
}}}}
(See [[#url weirdness|below]] for a potential issue with this technique.)
===Citations inside explanatory footnotes===
Sometimes an explanatory footnote requires a citation. There are several acceptable solutions.
It is currently disputed (June 2026) whether parenthetical referencing (or narrative referencing, i.e. in-text attribution serving as referencing) is deprecated inside {{tag|ref}} tags used for explanatory footnotes.
Citations using {{tl1|sfn}} can't be directly embedded between {{tag|ref}} tags, because the following message will be produced: {{small|{{error|Cite error references missing group||nocat=true}}}}. But {{tl1|sfn}} can be used with templates {{tl1|efn}} and {{tl1|notelist}}, which separates the explanatory footnotes from the short citations, as shown in this example. (See also [[Chinese Room]], which is an article that makes extensive use of this technique.)

}}
===Multiple lists of inline citations===
Sometimes there is a need to create two or more separate lists of inline footnotes. For example some family trees are contained in templates, they are transluded into several biographies, and they have their own self contained citations (see [[Template:Houston family tree]] and the article [[Margaret Lea Houston]]).
To facilitate this, while the main page uses the standard 1,2,3 footnote counting, it is common for family trees to use the efn template with a group parameter set—for example {{tlx|efn-lg}} (lower-greek). The efn templates are text templates, to link some or all of the content of the efn template to a long citation template such as {{tlx|cite book}} place {{tlx|harvnb}} or {{tlx|harv}} within the efn template.

{{anchor|Ps problems}}
== Other parameters ==
These parameters were designed to handle special cases that are better handled by other techniques.
===Parameter {{para|ps}}===
These templates have a parameter {{para|ps}}, designed to hold quotes and explanations.
Two or more {{tlc|sfn}} templates with the same authors, same year, and same page, but different {{para|ps}} will result in a {{small|{{error|Cite error: The named reference ... was defined multiple times with different content}}}} message. This message happens because the reference names that {{tlc|sfn}} creates will be the same, but the content between the {{tag|ref|params=name="FOOTNOTE..."|o}} tag and the {{tag|ref|c}} tag will be different.
A workaround is to convert the offending {{tlc|sfn}} templates to {{tlx|harvnb}} wrapped in {{tag|ref}} tags, as recommended in [[#Additional comments or quotes|§ Adding additional comments or quotes]]. This method is more versatile and robust.
Template {{para|ps}} also has a second (rare) use, when setting {{para|ps|none}}, which suppressed the final period. See [[#Variations in the format of the author-date citation|§ Variations in the format of the author-date citation]].
===Parameter {{para|ref}}===
The optional parameter {{para|ref}} was used to create an unusually named link from the short citation to the full citation. This typically would require setting the hand coded link on the full citation as well. It's easier to only set the link of the full citation to {{para|ref|{{tl2|sfnref}}}}.
If you specify {{para|ref|none}}, no hyperlink is created. However, if one does not want the link, it is always possible to simply use plain text instead of the template.
The parameter only appears in <nowiki>{{harv*}}</nowiki> templates, and may still appear in a few articles.
==Open problems==
===Link works but displays a no target error===
When a short-cite template links to a full citation that is rendered by a template that wraps a CS1 template, like {{txl|cite DNB}} (which wraps {{txl|cite encyclopedia}}), a {{error-small|no target}} error may be displayed even when the short-cite template is valid and the link works. That is a "false positive" error. The error message can be suppressed by adding {{para|ignore-err|yes}} to the template, or by adding the template {{t|Sfn whitelist}} with the anchor ID(s) to the article. If you are testing changes in [[Special:ExpandTemplates]] and the error message cannot be suppressed, try testing in a sandbox or user subpage instead.
==={{ucfirst:sfn}} embedded in list-defined ref does not work===
If you [[Help:Footnotes#embedding references|embed]] an {{ucfirst:sfn}} 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}}.
==Implementation notes==
These templates use two elements: a [[wikilink]] in the body of the article, and an [[WP:ANCHOR DEF|anchor]] in the reference section of the article. Clicking on the wikilink repositions the page at the anchor.
===Citation template [[HTML element#Links and anchors|anchor]]===
{{See also|Wikipedia:Citation templates and reference anchors}}
The most common citation templates are {{cs1}} or {{cs2}}. By default, [[Module:Citation/CS1]] creates an [[HTML element#Links and anchors|anchor]] {{tag|a|o|params=name="CITEREF"}} followed by the concatenation of the following parameters:
* '''last''' or '''last1''' or '''surname''' or '''surname1''' or '''author-last''' or '''author-last1''' or '''author1-last''' or '''author-surname''' or '''author-surname1''' or '''author1-surname''' or '''author''' or '''author1''' or '''authors''',
* '''last2''' or '''surname2''' or '''author-last2''' or '''author2-last''' or '''author-surname2''' or '''author2-surname''' or '''author2''',
* '''last3''' or '''surname3''' or '''author-last3''' or '''author3-last''' or '''author-surname3''' or '''author3-surname''' or '''author3''',
* '''last4''' or '''surname4''' or '''author-last4''' or '''author4-last''' or '''author-surname4''' or '''author4-surname''' or '''author4''',
* '''editor-last''' or '''editor-last1''' or '''editor1-last''' or '''editor-surname''' or '''editor-surname1''' or '''editor1-surname''' or '''editor1''' or '''editor''',
* '''editor-last2''' or '''editor2-last''' or '''editor-surname2''' or '''editor2-surname''' or '''editor2''',
* '''editor-last3''' or '''editor3-last''' or '''editor-surname3''' or '''editor3-surname''' or '''editor3''',
* '''editor-last4''' or '''editor4-last''' or '''editor-surname4''' or '''editor4-surname''' or '''editor4''',
* '''date''', '''year'''
This covers the most common templates. Information about all of the templates is available at [[Wikipedia:Citation templates and reference anchors]].
Use of the '''date''' parameter in place of the '''year''' parameter in citation templates is preferred.
===Harvard citation wikilink===
The Harvard citation templates create a [[wikilink]] to the anchor. For example {{tlx|Harv|Smith|2006|4=p=25}} produces the link {{code|#CITEREFSmith2006}} and {{tlx|Citation|2=last=Smith|3=first=John|4=date=27 January 2006|5=title=My Life}} produces the anchor {{code|CITEREFSmith2006}}.
===Using CITEREF directly===
{{Shortcut|WP:CITEREF}}
A few articles create a custom ID using {{code|CITEREF}}, either in place of the Harvard citation template (e.g. <code><nowiki>[[#CITEREFSmith2006|(2006)]]</nowiki></code>) or as a value for {{para|ref}} in the citation template.
{{Refname rules|A custom ID must follow these rules:|
* If CITEREF is used, then spaces in the {{para|ref}} field must be replaced with underscores}}
Examples:
* {{tlx|sfn|{{var|cite name}}|{{var|year}}}}
* {{tlx|cite book|2=ref=CITEREF{{var|cite_nameyear}}}}
* {{tlx|cite book|2=ref={{tl|sfnref|{{var|cite_name}}|{{var|year}}}}}}
Where {{var|cite_name}} is a name such as the publisher.
To avoid the sometimes difficult to remember syntax for links to CITEREF anchors, {{tl|citeref}} can be used to create internal wikilinks with either small superscript-style labels (like this<sup>[n]</sup>) or plain free-text labels to such anchors. It can be used inside of other citations.
Note that the {{code|CITEREF}} prefix is necessary for the [[mw:Reference Tooltips|reference tooltips gadget]] ([[MediaWiki:Gadget-ReferenceTooltips.js]]) to detect that a link goes to a citation.
===[[Template:sfn|<code><nowiki>{{sfn}}</nowiki></code>]]'s [[WP:REFNAME|ref name]]===
Template {{tl2|sfn}} creates a [[WP:REFNAME|named footnote]], so that identical footnotes are combined automatically. The footnote name begins with {{code|FOOTNOTE}} followed by a concatenation of the arguments to {{tl2|sfn}}. E.g.: this template call {{tlx|sfn|Smith|2006|4=p=26}} should have exactly the same functionality as {{tag|ref|params=name="FOOTNOTESmith200626"|content={{tl|Harvnb|Smith|2006|4=p=26}}.}} which, in turn, has the same functionality as {{tag|ref|params=name="FOOTNOTESmith200626"|content=<nowiki>[[#CITEREFSmith2006|Smith (2006)]], p.&nbsp;26.</nowiki>}}.
{{anchor|url weirdness}}
The ref name becomes more complicated when the page (p) parameter includes a URL, e.g. {{tlg|sfn|Joyce|1903|p{{=}}[https://archive.org/details/aconcisehistory00joycgoog/page/n226 213]|code=on}}, which, once defined, can be called by {{tag|ref|empty|params=name="FOOTNOTEJoyce1903[httpsarchiveorgdetailsaconcisehistory00joycgoogpagen226 213]"}}. The "p=" and the characters |,:,.,/,?,=; are therefore stripped out of the URL. The content of the loc parameter is similarly appended after this.
The call to {{tl2|harvnb}} has been [[subst]]'ed for quicker load times.

{{Lua|Module:Footnotes|Module:Check for unknown parameters}}
The '''shortened footnote template''' {{tl|sfn}} creates a short [[WP:Citing sources#Short citations|author–date citation]] in a [[Wikipedia:Citing sources|footnote]], with a one-directional link to the first matching [[Wikipedia:Citation templates|citation template]] on the same page. It will combine identical footnotes automatically.
It is used to create {{sfnote|lc=y}}, a [[WP:CITESTYLE|citation style]] which pairs a short, author-date citation in a footnote with a [[WP:HOWCITE|complete citation]] in the references section at the end of the article (see example [[#Example|below]]). This citation style is used to simplify multiple citations to the same source and to reduce clutter in the edit window.
Common problems and known workarounds are given in the sections below. Use the table of contents to find what you need.
Note that the use (or even non-use) of these templates is an element of citation "style", and adding or removing them in articles with an established style should be consistent with that style. See [[WP:CITEVAR]].
==Usage==
'''Sfn''' generates an "author-date" style short-cite from the following parameters:
<div style="margin-left: 2em"><code>{{<nowiki>sfn</nowiki>| <{{var|last1}}*> | <{{var|last2}}> | <{{var|last3}}> | <{{var|last4}}> | <{{var|year}}*> | p= <{{var|page}}> | loc= <{{var|location}}> }}</code></div>
with
* <{{var|last1}}> – required; surname of first author or corporate author
* <{{var|last2}}>–<{{var|last4}}> – positional parameters; surnames of next three authors; required if available in the full citation
* <{{var|year}}> – required; four-digit year; may have a lowercase disambiguation letter, like {{pval|2012a}}
* {{para|p}} – specific page referenced in the source (alias: {{para|page}}{{hairspace}})
* {{para|pp}} – comma-separated list of [[Template:Csdoc#pages|individual pages and / or range(s) of pages]] referenced in the source (alias: {{para|pages}}{{hairspace}})
* {{para|loc}} – in-source location when {{para|p}} and {{para|pp}} are inappropriate; may be used to supplement {{para|p}} and {{para|pp}}; information such as a section or figure number. (alias: {{para|at}}{{hairspace}})
=== Example ===
Typical usage is shown in the example below. The text and the footnote are connected by a bi-directional link – clicking on the superscript takes the reader to the footnote, clicking on the footnote number takes them back to the superscript. The clicking on the short citation takes them to the full citation in the references section.
'''Sfn''' will also automatically combine identical footnotes.

Template '''sfn''' is not placed inside {{tag|ref}} tags and generates the footnote internally. (To place '''sfn''' in a footnote, see [[#A citation inside an explanatory footnote|putting a citation inside a footnote]], below.)
===Parameters===
====Author(s) and year====
The first four author surnames (or all authors if fewer than four; use the values from {{para|last''N''}} or {{para|author''N''}}{{hairspace}}) are required, followed by the year of publication (from {{para|year}} or {{para|date}}). Authors past the fourth must be omitted or an error will result.
The [[#Possible issues with author-date link|possible issues]] section below describes workarounds for various common problems, such as [[#Large number of authors|large number of authors]], [[#No author name in citation template|no author name]], [[#More than one work in a year|multiple works in the same year]], [[#Two sources with same last names and years|Two sources with same last names and years]] and others.

Use {{para|p}} for single pages; use {{para|pp}} for multiple pages (such as ranges). Use of {{para|p}} for multiple pages or {{para|pp}} for single pages can cause [[Help:Cite errors/Cite error references duplicate key|cite errors]].
{{para|loc}} can be used to specify a location in the source in another way, such as section numbers or chapters. It can also be combined with {{para|p}} or {{para|pp}}.

==Possible issues with author-date link==
{{for|information on how to turn on error messages for broken links|:Category:Harv and Sfn template errors}}
These are techniques that address various unusual difficulties with the link between the short citation and the full citation.
===Custom anchors===
A custom anchor using {{tl|sfnref}} can, at least temporarily, always make the shortened footnote look exactly the way you would like and still have a link that works. Many of the problems and workarounds below require a custom anchor.
All CS1 citation templates and several other templates allow you to set a custom anchor with parameter {{para|ref}}. The template {{tl|sfnRef}} creates an anchor that will match {{tl|sfn}}'s if it has the same parameters as {{tl|sfn}}. To use this technique, choose the name and year you would like to appear in {{tl|sfn}}, copy these parameters into {{tl|sfnRef}} and set {{tl|ref}} to the {{tl|sfnRef}}.
In other words, if you want this:
* {{tl2|sfn|<*''name you want''>|<''year''>|<''page / location''>}}
then set this:
* {{para|ref|{{tl2|sfnRef|<''name you want''>|<''year''>}}}}
in the template, and the link should work correctly.
The parameters must be <em>identical</em> in every respect. If the year is unusual (i.e. not a number), then include the year in the name and don't use the year position.
===Large number of authors===
If there are more than four authors, the first four authors' surnames (the value in {{para|last}} or {{para|author}}) are required by the template. Listing more authors is not supported. It is also possible to use a [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]] that sets the name field to "Smith et. al.".

}}}}
===More than one work in a year===
Where there is a need to cite more than one work ''by the same author published in the same year'', the standard way to disambiguate such works is to add a letter suffix after the year, e.g. "Smith 2006a" and "Smith 2006b".
Set the year element of the {{tlc|sfn}} templates (e.g. {{tlc|sfn|Smith|2006a}} and {{tlc|sfn|Smith|2006a}}), and add the disambiguation letter to the matching full citation, (e.g. <code><nowiki>{{cite book|...|last=Smith|date=2006b}}</nowiki></code>).
When {{tlc|sfn}} is used with {{tlx|citation}} or {{cs1}} templates, a year-suffix letter may be added to {{para|date}} for all accepted date formats except year-initial numeric ({{small|YYYY-MM-DD}}). It is not necessary to include both {{para|date}} and {{para|year}} (see exception [[#NB_YEAR|below]]). If both are included, {{para|year}} is used for the <code>CITEREF</code> anchor to be compliant with legacy citations.
:{{para|date|2013a}}: simple year only dates
:{{para|date|Jan 2013b}} or {{para|date|Winter 2013b}}: month or season and year dates
:{{para|date|9 November 2013b}} or {{para|date|November 9, 2013b}}: full dates
:{{para|date|June–July 2013c}} or {{para|date|Winter–Spring 2013c}}: month or season ranges and year dates
:{{para|date|c. 2013d}}: circa year dates
:{{para|date|{{#time:Y}}–{{#time:Y|now +1 year}}e}} or {{para|date|Summer {{#time:Y}}–{{#time:y|now +1 year}}e}}: year ranges
:{{para|date|n.d.f}}: no date (n.d.)
:{{anchor|NB_YEAR}}<s>{{para|date|2013g-11-09}}</s>: not supported, the template must use {{para|year|2013g}}. If month and day should be part of the citation as well, both parameters need to be given: {{para|date|2013-11-09}} {{para|year|2013x}}. In this case, {{para|date}} is used for citation display and metadata purposes, and {{para|year}} for link disambiguation.

===Two sources with same last names and years ===
An article might cite works from the same year by two different authors with the same last name. For example, an article might cite psychoanalysts [[Anna Freud]] and [[Sigmund Freud]], who both wrote books in the same year.
There are two solutions: it's possible to use the same technique described in the previous section. To differentiate between the two books, the first one can be given the year "1928a" and the second one "1928b".
Or, you can create a [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]] that adds an initial to the name fields, e.g. "A. Freud" and "S. Freud". The links will no longer conflict.

===Citation template has no year but has a date===
Either the {{para|date}} or {{para|year}} of a citation template can be matched—the template logic can extract the year from a full date. If the date parameter is not a full date, then the extraction will fail. If the link does not seem to work, it also possible to set both {{para|date}} and {{para|year}} parameters. The template will display the date and use the year for the anchor. These two examples show a year being successfully extracted from full date.

===Citation template has no date===
If the cited source does not have a date, you can use {{para|date|n.d.}} for the full citation and "n.d." in place of the date for the short citation:
{{markup
|<nowiki>This is a fact.{{sfn|Smith|n.d.}}
==Notes==
{{reflist}}
==References==
* {{Citation |last=Smith |title=Title |date=n.d. |publisher=Publisher |mode=cs1}}</nowiki>

{{fake heading|sub=3|Notes}}
{{reflist}}
{{fake heading|sub=3|References}}
* {{Citation |last=Smith |title=Title |date=n.d. |publisher=Publisher |mode=cs1}}
}}
===Citation template has no author name===
Some sources do not have a single author with a last name, such as a magazine article or a report from a government institution. There is no consensus (in Wikipedia or among citation styles) about how to format author–date citations for works that do not have a specific author. Several choices are:
# The title of the article, or a shortened form of the title, is recommended by some style guides.
# For a newspaper or periodical, you may use the name of the paper and the date.
# For a publication by an institution, use either:
## The initials of the institution
## The name of the institution
# Other style guides recommend using "Anonymous" or "Anon."
An article should adopt one of these styles consistently.
Use a [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]] to replace set the author name to one of these other choices, as shown in these examples below.

You could also use CITEREF directly with a concatenation of <code>#CITEREF</code> plus the parameters passed to the Harvard citation template.
===Citation template does not support any kind of anchor===
{{See section|Wikipedia:Citation templates and reference anchors|Citation templates that create anchors}}
There are a few templates that do not support any kind of anchor, including {{tl|cite report}}, {{tl|cite music release notes}}, {{tl|cite DVD-notes}}, {{tl|cite episode}} and others.
It is possible to use {{tl|wikicite}} to create an anchor. It has a {{para|ref}} parameter which can be set to a [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]]. In this example, the publisher is considered the editor.

===No citation template ===
If the citation is handwritten you should consider the citation format of the article. If citation templates are used often in this article, then check [[WP:Citation templates]] and try to find one that works for this source. If no template can be found, then this may be a source which can't be represented in our citation templates.
Use {{tl2|wikicite}} to make an anchor, setting Wikicite's {{para|ref}} to a [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]].

===Wikilink to citation does not work===
If an article is using this template, and nothing happens when you click on the highlighted [[wikilink]] from the [[WP:SHORTCITE|short citation]] to the [[WP:SHORTCITE|full citation]] at the bottom of the page, there are several possible solutions. If:
# Templates like this one are rarely used in this article. '''Solution''': Remove this template and format the citation in the style used most often in the article.
# The correct full citation does ''not'' appear at the bottom of the article. '''Solution''': Find the source (it may be copied from an article on a similar subject), and check that it verifies the text. If the source can't be found, replace this template with {{tl2|citation not found}}.
# The correct full citation appears at the bottom of the article, and
## The full citation uses a template from the list at [[Help:Citation Style 1|Citation Style 1]]:
### The citation template has only {{para|author}} and this template uses the last name. '''Solution''': Either (a) split the author name in to {{para|last}} and {{para|first}} in the full citation or (b) use the full name in the short citation. Be careful in either case to be consistent with the other citations in the article.
### The name in the short citation is spelled or capitalized differently than in the full citation. '''Solution''': Check the source for the correct spelling, and use the same spelling, spacing, and capitalization in both the short and full citations.
### There is more than one full citation with the same last name(s) and year. '''Solution''': See [[#More than one work in a year|§More than one work in a year]] or [[#Two sources with same last names and years|§Two sources with same last names and years]].
### The year is different here than the full citation. '''Solution''': Check the source for the correct year, and use the same year in both the short and full citations.
### The template has a {{para|date}} field and no {{para|year}} field, but the format of the {{para|date}} field is unusual. '''Solution''': Try to fix the date. If the link still does not work, add {{para|year}} to the citation template. (It's okay if it has both.)
### The template does not have a year, or the date is set to "n.d." (no date). '''Solution''': Set the year field of this template to "n.d.".
### The template does not have an author's or an editor's, last name (authors take precedence over editors). '''Solution''': See [[#Citation template has no author name|§Citation template has no author name]], above.
### The template has no author, date or title. '''Solution''': See [[#Citation template has no author, date or title|§Citation template has no author, date or title]]]
##The citation template doesn't automatically create the anchor, but has {{para|ref}}. '''Solution''': See [[#Citation template doesn't create a compatible anchor but has %7Cref=|§Citation template doesn't create a compatible anchor but has {{para|ref}}]], above.
##The citation template doesn't support anchors at all. '''Solution''': See [[#Citation template does not support any kind of anchor|§Citation format does not support any kind of anchor]], above.
##The full citation is handwritten.
### There are no other citation templates in the article. This is probably because local editors prefer it that way. '''Solution''': You should adapt to the style of the article. This would probably entail removing this template and formatting the short citation in plain text or replacing it with a full citation in {{tag|ref}} tags.
### There are citation templates used liberally throughout the article. '''Solution''': Reformat the source with the appropriate {{cite *}} template (and set the {{para|ref}} appropriately, if necessary).
### No appropriate template can be found. '''Solution''': See [[#No citation template|§No citation template]], above.
Templates that have broken [[wikilink]]s using these templates are added to the category {{cat|All articles with broken links to citations}}.
== Techniques and variations ==
{{anchor|Additional comments or quotes}}
=== Adding additional comments or quotes ===
The templates {{tl2|harvnb}} or {{tl2|harvtxt}} can be used to add quotes or additional comments into the footnote, in the form of in-text attributions.
{{markup
|<nowiki>
Some information.<ref>{{harvnb|Smith|2011|p=2}}: "A quote verifying the information."</ref>

}}
===Adding a URL for the page or location===
If a specific link to the page or section is available, a [[Uniform Resource Locator|URL]] can be added to the location or page number.
{{markup
|<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">Article text.{{sfn|Smith|2011|p=[https://en.wikipedia.org 3]}}
Other article text.{{sfn|Smith|2011|loc=[https://en.wikipedia.org §7]}}

|* {{cite book | last = Smith | date = 2011 | title = Smith's book }}
}}}}
(See [[#url weirdness|below]] for a potential issue with this technique.)
===Citations inside explanatory footnotes===
Sometimes an explanatory footnote requires a citation. There are several acceptable solutions.
It is currently disputed (June 2026) whether parenthetical referencing (or narrative referencing, i.e. in-text attribution serving as referencing) is deprecated inside {{tag|ref}} tags used for explanatory footnotes.
Citations using {{tl1|sfn}} can't be directly embedded between {{tag|ref}} tags, because the following message will be produced: {{small|{{error|Cite error references missing group||nocat=true}}}}. But {{tl1|sfn}} can be used with templates {{tl1|efn}} and {{tl1|notelist}}, which separates the explanatory footnotes from the short citations, as shown in this example. (See also [[Chinese Room]], which is an article that makes extensive use of this technique.)

}}
===Multiple lists of inline citations===
Sometimes there is a need to create two or more separate lists of inline footnotes. For example some family trees are contained in templates, they are transluded into several biographies, and they have their own self contained citations (see [[Template:Houston family tree]] and the article [[Margaret Lea Houston]]).
To facilitate this, while the main page uses the standard 1,2,3 footnote counting, it is common for family trees to use the efn template with a group parameter set—for example {{tlx|efn-lg}} (lower-greek). The efn templates are text templates, to link some or all of the content of the efn template to a long citation template such as {{tlx|cite book}} place {{tlx|harvnb}} or {{tlx|harv}} within the efn template.

{{anchor|Ps problems}}
== Other parameters ==
These parameters were designed to handle special cases that are better handled by other techniques.
===Parameter {{para|ps}}===
These templates have a parameter {{para|ps}}, designed to hold quotes and explanations.
Two or more {{tlc|sfn}} templates with the same authors, same year, and same page, but different {{para|ps}} will result in a {{small|{{error|Cite error: The named reference ... was defined multiple times with different content}}}} message. This message happens because the reference names that {{tlc|sfn}} creates will be the same, but the content between the {{tag|ref|params=name="FOOTNOTE..."|o}} tag and the {{tag|ref|c}} tag will be different.
A workaround is to convert the offending {{tlc|sfn}} templates to {{tlx|harvnb}} wrapped in {{tag|ref}} tags, as recommended in [[#Additional comments or quotes|§ Adding additional comments or quotes]]. This method is more versatile and robust.
Template {{para|ps}} also has a second (rare) use, when setting {{para|ps|none}}, which suppressed the final period. See [[#Variations in the format of the author-date citation|§ Variations in the format of the author-date citation]].
===Parameter {{para|ref}}===
The optional parameter {{para|ref}} was used to create an unusually named link from the short citation to the full citation. This typically would require setting the hand coded link on the full citation as well. It's easier to only set the link of the full citation to {{para|ref|{{tl2|sfnref}}}}.
If you specify {{para|ref|none}}, no hyperlink is created. However, if one does not want the link, it is always possible to simply use plain text instead of the template.
The parameter only appears in <nowiki>{{harv*}}</nowiki> templates, and may still appear in a few articles.
==Open problems==
===Link works but displays a no target error===
When a short-cite template links to a full citation that is rendered by a template that wraps a CS1 template, like {{txl|cite DNB}} (which wraps {{txl|cite encyclopedia}}), a {{error-small|no target}} error may be displayed even when the short-cite template is valid and the link works. That is a "false positive" error. The error message can be suppressed by adding {{para|ignore-err|yes}} to the template, or by adding the template {{t|Sfn whitelist}} with the anchor ID(s) to the article. If you are testing changes in [[Special:ExpandTemplates]] and the error message cannot be suppressed, try testing in a sandbox or user subpage instead.
==={{ucfirst:sfn}} embedded in list-defined ref does not work===
If you [[Help:Footnotes#embedding references|embed]] an {{ucfirst:sfn}} 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}}.
==Implementation notes==
These templates use two elements: a [[wikilink]] in the body of the article, and an [[WP:ANCHOR DEF|anchor]] in the reference section of the article. Clicking on the wikilink repositions the page at the anchor.
===Citation template [[HTML element#Links and anchors|anchor]]===
{{See also|Wikipedia:Citation templates and reference anchors}}
The most common citation templates are {{cs1}} or {{cs2}}. By default, [[Module:Citation/CS1]] creates an [[HTML element#Links and anchors|anchor]] {{tag|a|o|params=name="CITEREF"}} followed by the concatenation of the following parameters:
* '''last''' or '''last1''' or '''surname''' or '''surname1''' or '''author-last''' or '''author-last1''' or '''author1-last''' or '''author-surname''' or '''author-surname1''' or '''author1-surname''' or '''author''' or '''author1''' or '''authors''',
* '''last2''' or '''surname2''' or '''author-last2''' or '''author2-last''' or '''author-surname2''' or '''author2-surname''' or '''author2''',
* '''last3''' or '''surname3''' or '''author-last3''' or '''author3-last''' or '''author-surname3''' or '''author3-surname''' or '''author3''',
* '''last4''' or '''surname4''' or '''author-last4''' or '''author4-last''' or '''author-surname4''' or '''author4-surname''' or '''author4''',
* '''editor-last''' or '''editor-last1''' or '''editor1-last''' or '''editor-surname''' or '''editor-surname1''' or '''editor1-surname''' or '''editor1''' or '''editor''',
* '''editor-last2''' or '''editor2-last''' or '''editor-surname2''' or '''editor2-surname''' or '''editor2''',
* '''editor-last3''' or '''editor3-last''' or '''editor-surname3''' or '''editor3-surname''' or '''editor3''',
* '''editor-last4''' or '''editor4-last''' or '''editor-surname4''' or '''editor4-surname''' or '''editor4''',
* '''date''', '''year'''
This covers the most common templates. Information about all of the templates is available at [[Wikipedia:Citation templates and reference anchors]].
Use of the '''date''' parameter in place of the '''year''' parameter in citation templates is preferred.
===Harvard citation wikilink===
The Harvard citation templates create a [[wikilink]] to the anchor. For example {{tlx|Harv|Smith|2006|4=p=25}} produces the link {{code|#CITEREFSmith2006}} and {{tlx|Citation|2=last=Smith|3=first=John|4=date=27 January 2006|5=title=My Life}} produces the anchor {{code|CITEREFSmith2006}}.
===Using CITEREF directly===
{{Shortcut|WP:CITEREF}}
A few articles create a custom ID using {{code|CITEREF}}, either in place of the Harvard citation template (e.g. <code><nowiki>[[#CITEREFSmith2006|(2006)]]</nowiki></code>) or as a value for {{para|ref}} in the citation template.
{{Refname rules|A custom ID must follow these rules:|
* If CITEREF is used, then spaces in the {{para|ref}} field must be replaced with underscores}}
Examples:
* {{tlx|sfn|{{var|cite name}}|{{var|year}}}}
* {{tlx|cite book|2=ref=CITEREF{{var|cite_nameyear}}}}
* {{tlx|cite book|2=ref={{tl|sfnref|{{var|cite_name}}|{{var|year}}}}}}
Where {{var|cite_name}} is a name such as the publisher.
To avoid the sometimes difficult to remember syntax for links to CITEREF anchors, {{tl|citeref}} can be used to create internal wikilinks with either small superscript-style labels (like this<sup>[n]</sup>) or plain free-text labels to such anchors. It can be used inside of other citations.
Note that the {{code|CITEREF}} prefix is necessary for the [[mw:Reference Tooltips|reference tooltips gadget]] ([[MediaWiki:Gadget-ReferenceTooltips.js]]) to detect that a link goes to a citation.
===[[Template:sfn|<code><nowiki>{{sfn}}</nowiki></code>]]'s [[WP:REFNAME|ref name]]===
Template {{tl2|sfn}} creates a [[WP:REFNAME|named footnote]], so that identical footnotes are combined automatically. The footnote name begins with {{code|FOOTNOTE}} followed by a concatenation of the arguments to {{tl2|sfn}}. E.g.: this template call {{tlx|sfn|Smith|2006|4=p=26}} should have exactly the same functionality as {{tag|ref|params=name="FOOTNOTESmith200626"|content={{tl|Harvnb|Smith|2006|4=p=26}}.}} which, in turn, has the same functionality as {{tag|ref|params=name="FOOTNOTESmith200626"|content=<nowiki>[[#CITEREFSmith2006|Smith (2006)]], p.&nbsp;26.</nowiki>}}.
{{anchor|url weirdness}}
The ref name becomes more complicated when the page (p) parameter includes a URL, e.g. {{tlg|sfn|Joyce|1903|p{{=}}[https://archive.org/details/aconcisehistory00joycgoog/page/n226 213]|code=on}}, which, once defined, can be called by {{tag|ref|empty|params=name="FOOTNOTEJoyce1903[httpsarchiveorgdetailsaconcisehistory00joycgoogpagen226 213]"}}. The "p=" and the characters |,:,.,/,?,=; are therefore stripped out of the URL. The content of the loc parameter is similarly appended after this.
The call to {{tl2|harvnb}} has been [[subst]]'ed for quicker load times.

{{Lua|Module:Footnotes|Module:Check for unknown parameters}}
The '''shortened footnote template''' {{tl|sfn}} creates a short [[WP:Citing sources#Short citations|author–date citation]] in a [[Wikipedia:Citing sources|footnote]], with a one-directional link to the first matching [[Wikipedia:Citation templates|citation template]] on the same page. It will combine identical footnotes automatically.
It is used to create {{sfnote|lc=y}}, a [[WP:CITESTYLE|citation style]] which pairs a short, author-date citation in a footnote with a [[WP:HOWCITE|complete citation]] in the references section at the end of the article (see example [[#Example|below]]). This citation style is used to simplify multiple citations to the same source and to reduce clutter in the edit window.
Common problems and known workarounds are given in the sections below. Use the table of contents to find what you need.
Note that the use (or even non-use) of these templates is an element of citation "style", and adding or removing them in articles with an established style should be consistent with that style. See [[WP:CITEVAR]].
==Usage==
'''Sfn''' generates an "author-date" style short-cite from the following parameters:
<div style="margin-left: 2em"><code>{{<nowiki>sfn</nowiki>| <{{var|last1}}*> | <{{var|last2}}> | <{{var|last3}}> | <{{var|last4}}> | <{{var|year}}*> | p= <{{var|page}}> | loc= <{{var|location}}> }}</code></div>
with
* <{{var|last1}}> – required; surname of first author or corporate author
* <{{var|last2}}>–<{{var|last4}}> – positional parameters; surnames of next three authors; required if available in the full citation
* <{{var|year}}> – required; four-digit year; may have a lowercase disambiguation letter, like {{pval|2012a}}
* {{para|p}} – specific page referenced in the source (alias: {{para|page}}{{hairspace}})
* {{para|pp}} – comma-separated list of [[Template:Csdoc#pages|individual pages and / or range(s) of pages]] referenced in the source (alias: {{para|pages}}{{hairspace}})
* {{para|loc}} – in-source location when {{para|p}} and {{para|pp}} are inappropriate; may be used to supplement {{para|p}} and {{para|pp}}; information such as a section or figure number. (alias: {{para|at}}{{hairspace}})
=== Example ===
Typical usage is shown in the example below. The text and the footnote are connected by a bi-directional link – clicking on the superscript takes the reader to the footnote, clicking on the footnote number takes them back to the superscript. The clicking on the short citation takes them to the full citation in the references section.
'''Sfn''' will also automatically combine identical footnotes.

Template '''sfn''' is not placed inside {{tag|ref}} tags and generates the footnote internally. (To place '''sfn''' in a footnote, see [[#A citation inside an explanatory footnote|putting a citation inside a footnote]], below.)
===Parameters===
====Author(s) and year====
The first four author surnames (or all authors if fewer than four; use the values from {{para|last''N''}} or {{para|author''N''}}{{hairspace}}) are required, followed by the year of publication (from {{para|year}} or {{para|date}}). Authors past the fourth must be omitted or an error will result.
The [[#Possible issues with author-date link|possible issues]] section below describes workarounds for various common problems, such as [[#Large number of authors|large number of authors]], [[#No author name in citation template|no author name]], [[#More than one work in a year|multiple works in the same year]], [[#Two sources with same last names and years|Two sources with same last names and years]] and others.

Use {{para|p}} for single pages; use {{para|pp}} for multiple pages (such as ranges). Use of {{para|p}} for multiple pages or {{para|pp}} for single pages can cause [[Help:Cite errors/Cite error references duplicate key|cite errors]].
{{para|loc}} can be used to specify a location in the source in another way, such as section numbers or chapters. It can also be combined with {{para|p}} or {{para|pp}}.

==Possible issues with author-date link==
{{for|information on how to turn on error messages for broken links|:Category:Harv and Sfn template errors}}
These are techniques that address various unusual difficulties with the link between the short citation and the full citation.
===Custom anchors===
A custom anchor using {{tl|sfnref}} can, at least temporarily, always make the shortened footnote look exactly the way you would like and still have a link that works. Many of the problems and workarounds below require a custom anchor.
All CS1 citation templates and several other templates allow you to set a custom anchor with parameter {{para|ref}}. The template {{tl|sfnRef}} creates an anchor that will match {{tl|sfn}}'s if it has the same parameters as {{tl|sfn}}. To use this technique, choose the name and year you would like to appear in {{tl|sfn}}, copy these parameters into {{tl|sfnRef}} and set {{tl|ref}} to the {{tl|sfnRef}}.
In other words, if you want this:
* {{tl2|sfn|<*''name you want''>|<''year''>|<''page / location''>}}
then set this:
* {{para|ref|{{tl2|sfnRef|<''name you want''>|<''year''>}}}}
in the template, and the link should work correctly.
The parameters must be <em>identical</em> in every respect. If the year is unusual (i.e. not a number), then include the year in the name and don't use the year position.
===Large number of authors===
If there are more than four authors, the first four authors' surnames (the value in {{para|last}} or {{para|author}}) are required by the template. Listing more authors is not supported. It is also possible to use a [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]] that sets the name field to "Smith et. al.".

}}}}
===More than one work in a year===
Where there is a need to cite more than one work ''by the same author published in the same year'', the standard way to disambiguate such works is to add a letter suffix after the year, e.g. "Smith 2006a" and "Smith 2006b".
Set the year element of the {{tlc|sfn}} templates (e.g. {{tlc|sfn|Smith|2006a}} and {{tlc|sfn|Smith|2006a}}), and add the disambiguation letter to the matching full citation, (e.g. <code><nowiki>{{cite book|...|last=Smith|date=2006b}}</nowiki></code>).
When {{tlc|sfn}} is used with {{tlx|citation}} or {{cs1}} templates, a year-suffix letter may be added to {{para|date}} for all accepted date formats except year-initial numeric ({{small|YYYY-MM-DD}}). It is not necessary to include both {{para|date}} and {{para|year}} (see exception [[#NB_YEAR|below]]). If both are included, {{para|year}} is used for the <code>CITEREF</code> anchor to be compliant with legacy citations.
:{{para|date|2013a}}: simple year only dates
:{{para|date|Jan 2013b}} or {{para|date|Winter 2013b}}: month or season and year dates
:{{para|date|9 November 2013b}} or {{para|date|November 9, 2013b}}: full dates
:{{para|date|June–July 2013c}} or {{para|date|Winter–Spring 2013c}}: month or season ranges and year dates
:{{para|date|c. 2013d}}: circa year dates
:{{para|date|{{#time:Y}}–{{#time:Y|now +1 year}}e}} or {{para|date|Summer {{#time:Y}}–{{#time:y|now +1 year}}e}}: year ranges
:{{para|date|n.d.f}}: no date (n.d.)
:{{anchor|NB_YEAR}}<s>{{para|date|2013g-11-09}}</s>: not supported, the template must use {{para|year|2013g}}. If month and day should be part of the citation as well, both parameters need to be given: {{para|date|2013-11-09}} {{para|year|2013x}}. In this case, {{para|date}} is used for citation display and metadata purposes, and {{para|year}} for link disambiguation.

===Two sources with same last names and years ===
An article might cite works from the same year by two different authors with the same last name. For example, an article might cite psychoanalysts [[Anna Freud]] and [[Sigmund Freud]], who both wrote books in the same year.
There are two solutions: it's possible to use the same technique described in the previous section. To differentiate between the two books, the first one can be given the year "1928a" and the second one "1928b".
Or, you can create a [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]] that adds an initial to the name fields, e.g. "A. Freud" and "S. Freud". The links will no longer conflict.

===Citation template has no year but has a date===
Either the {{para|date}} or {{para|year}} of a citation template can be matched—the template logic can extract the year from a full date. If the date parameter is not a full date, then the extraction will fail. If the link does not seem to work, it also possible to set both {{para|date}} and {{para|year}} parameters. The template will display the date and use the year for the anchor. These two examples show a year being successfully extracted from full date.

===Citation template has no date===
If the cited source does not have a date, you can use {{para|date|n.d.}} for the full citation and "n.d." in place of the date for the short citation:
{{markup
|<nowiki>This is a fact.{{sfn|Smith|n.d.}}
==Notes==
{{reflist}}
==References==
* {{Citation |last=Smith |title=Title |date=n.d. |publisher=Publisher |mode=cs1}}</nowiki>

{{reflist}}
{{fake heading|sub=3|References}}
* {{Citation |last=Smith |title=Title |date=n.d. |publisher=Publisher |mode=cs1}}
}}
===Citation template has no author name===
Some sources do not have a single author with a last name, such as a magazine article or a report from a government institution. There is no consensus (in Wikipedia or among citation styles) about how to format author–date citations for works that do not have a specific author. Several choices are:
# The title of the article, or a shortened form of the title, is recommended by some style guides.
# For a newspaper or periodical, you may use the name of the paper and the date.
# For a publication by an institution, use either:
## The initials of the institution
## The name of the institution
# Other style guides recommend using "Anonymous" or "Anon."
An article should adopt one of these styles consistently.
Use a [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]] to replace set the author name to one of these other choices, as shown in these examples below.

You could also use CITEREF directly with a concatenation of <code>#CITEREF</code> plus the parameters passed to the Harvard citation template.
===Citation template does not support any kind of anchor===
{{See section|Wikipedia:Citation templates and reference anchors|Citation templates that create anchors}}
There are a few templates that do not support any kind of anchor, including {{tl|cite report}}, {{tl|cite music release notes}}, {{tl|cite DVD-notes}}, {{tl|cite episode}} and others.
It is possible to use {{tl|wikicite}} to create an anchor. It has a {{para|ref}} parameter which can be set to a [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]]. In this example, the publisher is considered the editor.

===No citation template ===
If the citation is handwritten you should consider the citation format of the article. If citation templates are used often in this article, then check [[WP:Citation templates]] and try to find one that works for this source. If no template can be found, then this may be a source which can't be represented in our citation templates.
Use {{tl2|wikicite}} to make an anchor, setting Wikicite's {{para|ref}} to a [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]].

===Wikilink to citation does not work===
If an article is using this template, and nothing happens when you click on the highlighted [[wikilink]] from the [[WP:SHORTCITE|short citation]] to the [[WP:SHORTCITE|full citation]] at the bottom of the page, there are several possible solutions. If:
# Templates like this one are rarely used in this article. '''Solution''': Remove this template and format the citation in the style used most often in the article.
# The correct full citation does ''not'' appear at the bottom of the article. '''Solution''': Find the source (it may be copied from an article on a similar subject), and check that it verifies the text. If the source can't be found, replace this template with {{tl2|citation not found}}.
# The correct full citation appears at the bottom of the article, and
## The full citation uses a template from the list at [[Help:Citation Style 1|Citation Style 1]]:
### The citation template has only {{para|author}} and this template uses the last name. '''Solution''': Either (a) split the author name in to {{para|last}} and {{para|first}} in the full citation or (b) use the full name in the short citation. Be careful in either case to be consistent with the other citations in the article.
### The name in the short citation is spelled or capitalized differently than in the full citation. '''Solution''': Check the source for the correct spelling, and use the same spelling, spacing, and capitalization in both the short and full citations.
### There is more than one full citation with the same last name(s) and year. '''Solution''': See [[#More than one work in a year|§More than one work in a year]] or [[#Two sources with same last names and years|§Two sources with same last names and years]].
### The year is different here than the full citation. '''Solution''': Check the source for the correct year, and use the same year in both the short and full citations.
### The template has a {{para|date}} field and no {{para|year}} field, but the format of the {{para|date}} field is unusual. '''Solution''': Try to fix the date. If the link still does not work, add {{para|year}} to the citation template. (It's okay if it has both.)
### The template does not have a year, or the date is set to "n.d." (no date). '''Solution''': Set the year field of this template to "n.d.".
### The template does not have an author's or an editor's, last name (authors take precedence over editors). '''Solution''': See [[#Citation template has no author name|§Citation template has no author name]], above.
### The template has no author, date or title. '''Solution''': See [[#Citation template has no author, date or title|§Citation template has no author, date or title]]]
##The citation template doesn't automatically create the anchor, but has {{para|ref}}. '''Solution''': See [[#Citation template doesn't create a compatible anchor but has %7Cref=|§Citation template doesn't create a compatible anchor but has {{para|ref}}]], above.
##The citation template doesn't support anchors at all. '''Solution''': See [[#Citation template does not support any kind of anchor|§Citation format does not support any kind of anchor]], above.
##The full citation is handwritten.
### There are no other citation templates in the article. This is probably because local editors prefer it that way. '''Solution''': You should adapt to the style of the article. This would probably entail removing this template and formatting the short citation in plain text or replacing it with a full citation in {{tag|ref}} tags.
### There are citation templates used liberally throughout the article. '''Solution''': Reformat the source with the appropriate {{cite *}} template (and set the {{para|ref}} appropriately, if necessary).
### No appropriate template can be found. '''Solution''': See [[#No citation template|§No citation template]], above.
Templates that have broken [[wikilink]]s using these templates are added to the category {{cat|All articles with broken links to citations}}.
== Techniques and variations ==
{{anchor|Additional comments or quotes}}
=== Adding additional comments or quotes ===
The templates {{tl2|harvnb}} or {{tl2|harvtxt}} can be used to add quotes or additional comments into the footnote, in the form of in-text attributions.
{{markup
|<nowiki>
Some information.<ref>{{harvnb|Smith|2011|p=2}}: "A quote verifying the information."</ref>

}}
===Adding a URL for the page or location===
If a specific link to the page or section is available, a [[Uniform Resource Locator|URL]] can be added to the location or page number.
{{markup
|<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">Article text.{{sfn|Smith|2011|p=[https://en.wikipedia.org 3]}}
Other article text.{{sfn|Smith|2011|loc=[https://en.wikipedia.org §7]}}

|* {{cite book | last = Smith | date = 2011 | title = Smith's book }}
}}}}
(See [[#url weirdness|below]] for a potential issue with this technique.)
===Citations inside explanatory footnotes===
Sometimes an explanatory footnote requires a citation. There are several acceptable solutions.
It is currently disputed (June 2026) whether parenthetical referencing (or narrative referencing, i.e. in-text attribution serving as referencing) is deprecated inside {{tag|ref}} tags used for explanatory footnotes.
Citations using {{tl1|sfn}} can't be directly embedded between {{tag|ref}} tags, because the following message will be produced: {{small|{{error|Cite error references missing group||nocat=true}}}}. But {{tl1|sfn}} can be used with templates {{tl1|efn}} and {{tl1|notelist}}, which separates the explanatory footnotes from the short citations, as shown in this example. (See also [[Chinese Room]], which is an article that makes extensive use of this technique.)

}}
===Multiple lists of inline citations===
Sometimes there is a need to create two or more separate lists of inline footnotes. For example some family trees are contained in templates, they are transluded into several biographies, and they have their own self contained citations (see [[Template:Houston family tree]] and the article [[Margaret Lea Houston]]).
To facilitate this, while the main page uses the standard 1,2,3 footnote counting, it is common for family trees to use the efn template with a group parameter set—for example {{tlx|efn-lg}} (lower-greek). The efn templates are text templates, to link some or all of the content of the efn template to a long citation template such as {{tlx|cite book}} place {{tlx|harvnb}} or {{tlx|harv}} within the efn template.

{{anchor|Ps problems}}
== Other parameters ==
These parameters were designed to handle special cases that are better handled by other techniques.
===Parameter {{para|ps}}===
These templates have a parameter {{para|ps}}, designed to hold quotes and explanations.
Two or more {{tlc|sfn}} templates with the same authors, same year, and same page, but different {{para|ps}} will result in a {{small|{{error|Cite error: The named reference ... was defined multiple times with different content}}}} message. This message happens because the reference names that {{tlc|sfn}} creates will be the same, but the content between the {{tag|ref|params=name="FOOTNOTE..."|o}} tag and the {{tag|ref|c}} tag will be different.
A workaround is to convert the offending {{tlc|sfn}} templates to {{tlx|harvnb}} wrapped in {{tag|ref}} tags, as recommended in [[#Additional comments or quotes|§ Adding additional comments or quotes]]. This method is more versatile and robust.
Template {{para|ps}} also has a second (rare) use, when setting {{para|ps|none}}, which suppressed the final period. See [[#Variations in the format of the author-date citation|§ Variations in the format of the author-date citation]].
===Parameter {{para|ref}}===
The optional parameter {{para|ref}} was used to create an unusually named link from the short citation to the full citation. This typically would require setting the hand coded link on the full citation as well. It's easier to only set the link of the full citation to {{para|ref|{{tl2|sfnref}}}}.
If you specify {{para|ref|none}}, no hyperlink is created. However, if one does not want the link, it is always possible to simply use plain text instead of the template.
The parameter only appears in <nowiki>{{harv*}}</nowiki> templates, and may still appear in a few articles.
==Open problems==
===Link works but displays a no target error===
When a short-cite template links to a full citation that is rendered by a template that wraps a CS1 template, like {{txl|cite DNB}} (which wraps {{txl|cite encyclopedia}}), a {{error-small|no target}} error may be displayed even when the short-cite template is valid and the link works. That is a "false positive" error. The error message can be suppressed by adding {{para|ignore-err|yes}} to the template, or by adding the template {{t|Sfn whitelist}} with the anchor ID(s) to the article. If you are testing changes in [[Special:ExpandTemplates]] and the error message cannot be suppressed, try testing in a sandbox or user subpage instead.
==={{ucfirst:sfn}} embedded in list-defined ref does not work===
If you [[Help:Footnotes#embedding references|embed]] an {{ucfirst:sfn}} 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}}.
==Implementation notes==
These templates use two elements: a [[wikilink]] in the body of the article, and an [[WP:ANCHOR DEF|anchor]] in the reference section of the article. Clicking on the wikilink repositions the page at the anchor.
===Citation template [[HTML element#Links and anchors|anchor]]===
{{See also|Wikipedia:Citation templates and reference anchors}}
The most common citation templates are {{cs1}} or {{cs2}}. By default, [[Module:Citation/CS1]] creates an [[HTML element#Links and anchors|anchor]] {{tag|a|o|params=name="CITEREF"}} followed by the concatenation of the following parameters:
* '''last''' or '''last1''' or '''surname''' or '''surname1''' or '''author-last''' or '''author-last1''' or '''author1-last''' or '''author-surname''' or '''author-surname1''' or '''author1-surname''' or '''author''' or '''author1''' or '''authors''',
* '''last2''' or '''surname2''' or '''author-last2''' or '''author2-last''' or '''author-surname2''' or '''author2-surname''' or '''author2''',
* '''last3''' or '''surname3''' or '''author-last3''' or '''author3-last''' or '''author-surname3''' or '''author3-surname''' or '''author3''',
* '''last4''' or '''surname4''' or '''author-last4''' or '''author4-last''' or '''author-surname4''' or '''author4-surname''' or '''author4''',
* '''editor-last''' or '''editor-last1''' or '''editor1-last''' or '''editor-surname''' or '''editor-surname1''' or '''editor1-surname''' or '''editor1''' or '''editor''',
* '''editor-last2''' or '''editor2-last''' or '''editor-surname2''' or '''editor2-surname''' or '''editor2''',
* '''editor-last3''' or '''editor3-last''' or '''editor-surname3''' or '''editor3-surname''' or '''editor3''',
* '''editor-last4''' or '''editor4-last''' or '''editor-surname4''' or '''editor4-surname''' or '''editor4''',
* '''date''', '''year'''
This covers the most common templates. Information about all of the templates is available at [[Wikipedia:Citation templates and reference anchors]].
Use of the '''date''' parameter in place of the '''year''' parameter in citation templates is preferred.
===Harvard citation wikilink===
The Harvard citation templates create a [[wikilink]] to the anchor. For example {{tlx|Harv|Smith|2006|4=p=25}} produces the link {{code|#CITEREFSmith2006}} and {{tlx|Citation|2=last=Smith|3=first=John|4=date=27 January 2006|5=title=My Life}} produces the anchor {{code|CITEREFSmith2006}}.
===Using CITEREF directly===
{{Shortcut|WP:CITEREF}}
A few articles create a custom ID using {{code|CITEREF}}, either in place of the Harvard citation template (e.g. <code><nowiki>[[#CITEREFSmith2006|(2006)]]</nowiki></code>) or as a value for {{para|ref}} in the citation template.
{{Refname rules|A custom ID must follow these rules:|
* If CITEREF is used, then spaces in the {{para|ref}} field must be replaced with underscores}}
Examples:
* {{tlx|sfn|{{var|cite name}}|{{var|year}}}}
* {{tlx|cite book|2=ref=CITEREF{{var|cite_nameyear}}}}
* {{tlx|cite book|2=ref={{tl|sfnref|{{var|cite_name}}|{{var|year}}}}}}
Where {{var|cite_name}} is a name such as the publisher.
To avoid the sometimes difficult to remember syntax for links to CITEREF anchors, {{tl|citeref}} can be used to create internal wikilinks with either small superscript-style labels (like this<sup>[n]</sup>) or plain free-text labels to such anchors. It can be used inside of other citations.
Note that the {{code|CITEREF}} prefix is necessary for the [[mw:Reference Tooltips|reference tooltips gadget]] ([[MediaWiki:Gadget-ReferenceTooltips.js]]) to detect that a link goes to a citation.
===[[Template:sfn|<code><nowiki>{{sfn}}</nowiki></code>]]'s [[WP:REFNAME|ref name]]===
Template {{tl2|sfn}} creates a [[WP:REFNAME|named footnote]], so that identical footnotes are combined automatically. The footnote name begins with {{code|FOOTNOTE}} followed by a concatenation of the arguments to {{tl2|sfn}}. E.g.: this template call {{tlx|sfn|Smith|2006|4=p=26}} should have exactly the same functionality as {{tag|ref|params=name="FOOTNOTESmith200626"|content={{tl|Harvnb|Smith|2006|4=p=26}}.}} which, in turn, has the same functionality as {{tag|ref|params=name="FOOTNOTESmith200626"|content=<nowiki>[[#CITEREFSmith2006|Smith (2006)]], p.&nbsp;26.</nowiki>}}.
{{anchor|url weirdness}}
The ref name becomes more complicated when the page (p) parameter includes a URL, e.g. {{tlg|sfn|Joyce|1903|p{{=}}[https://archive.org/details/aconcisehistory00joycgoog/page/n226 213]|code=on}}, which, once defined, can be called by {{tag|ref|empty|params=name="FOOTNOTEJoyce1903[httpsarchiveorgdetailsaconcisehistory00joycgoogpagen226 213]"}}. The "p=" and the characters |,:,.,/,?,=; are therefore stripped out of the URL. The content of the loc parameter is similarly appended after this.
The call to {{tl2|harvnb}} has been [[subst]]'ed for quicker load times.

{{Lua|Module:Footnotes|Module:Check for unknown parameters}}
The '''shortened footnote template''' {{tl|sfn}} creates a short [[WP:Citing sources#Short citations|author–date citation]] in a [[Wikipedia:Citing sources|footnote]], with a one-directional link to the first matching [[Wikipedia:Citation templates|citation template]] on the same page. It will combine identical footnotes automatically.
It is used to create {{sfnote|lc=y}}, a [[WP:CITESTYLE|citation style]] which pairs a short, author-date citation in a footnote with a [[WP:HOWCITE|complete citation]] in the references section at the end of the article (see example [[#Example|below]]). This citation style is used to simplify multiple citations to the same source and to reduce clutter in the edit window.
Common problems and known workarounds are given in the sections below. Use the table of contents to find what you need.
Note that the use (or even non-use) of these templates is an element of citation "style", and adding or removing them in articles with an established style should be consistent with that style. See [[WP:CITEVAR]].
==Usage==
'''Sfn''' generates an "author-date" style short-cite from the following parameters:
<div style="margin-left: 2em"><code>{{<nowiki>sfn</nowiki>| <{{var|last1}}*> | <{{var|last2}}> | <{{var|last3}}> | <{{var|last4}}> | <{{var|year}}*> | p= <{{var|page}}> | loc= <{{var|location}}> }}</code></div>
with
* <{{var|last1}}> – required; surname of first author or corporate author
* <{{var|last2}}>–<{{var|last4}}> – positional parameters; surnames of next three authors; required if available in the full citation
* <{{var|year}}> – required; four-digit year; may have a lowercase disambiguation letter, like {{pval|2012a}}
* {{para|p}} – specific page referenced in the source (alias: {{para|page}}{{hairspace}})
* {{para|pp}} – comma-separated list of [[Template:Csdoc#pages|individual pages and / or range(s) of pages]] referenced in the source (alias: {{para|pages}}{{hairspace}})
* {{para|loc}} – in-source location when {{para|p}} and {{para|pp}} are inappropriate; may be used to supplement {{para|p}} and {{para|pp}}; information such as a section or figure number. (alias: {{para|at}}{{hairspace}})
=== Example ===
Typical usage is shown in the example below. The text and the footnote are connected by a bi-directional link – clicking on the superscript takes the reader to the footnote, clicking on the footnote number takes them back to the superscript. The clicking on the short citation takes them to the full citation in the references section.
'''Sfn''' will also automatically combine identical footnotes.

Template '''sfn''' is not placed inside {{tag|ref}} tags and generates the footnote internally. (To place '''sfn''' in a footnote, see [[#A citation inside an explanatory footnote|putting a citation inside a footnote]], below.)
===Parameters===
====Author(s) and year====
The first four author surnames (or all authors if fewer than four; use the values from {{para|last''N''}} or {{para|author''N''}}{{hairspace}}) are required, followed by the year of publication (from {{para|year}} or {{para|date}}). Authors past the fourth must be omitted or an error will result.
The [[#Possible issues with author-date link|possible issues]] section below describes workarounds for various common problems, such as [[#Large number of authors|large number of authors]], [[#No author name in citation template|no author name]], [[#More than one work in a year|multiple works in the same year]], [[#Two sources with same last names and years|Two sources with same last names and years]] and others.

Use {{para|p}} for single pages; use {{para|pp}} for multiple pages (such as ranges). Use of {{para|p}} for multiple pages or {{para|pp}} for single pages can cause [[Help:Cite errors/Cite error references duplicate key|cite errors]].
{{para|loc}} can be used to specify a location in the source in another way, such as section numbers or chapters. It can also be combined with {{para|p}} or {{para|pp}}.

==Possible issues with author-date link==
{{for|information on how to turn on error messages for broken links|:Category:Harv and Sfn template errors}}
These are techniques that address various unusual difficulties with the link between the short citation and the full citation.
Templates that have broken [[wikilink]]s using these templates are added to the category {{cat|All articles with broken links to citations}}.
===Wikilink to citation does not work===
If an article is using this template and nothing happens when you click on the highlighted [[wikilink]] from the [[WP:SHORTCITE|short citation]] to the [[WP:SHORTCITE|full citation]] at the bottom of the page, there are several possible solutions. If:
# Templates like this one are rarely used in this article. '''Solution''': Remove this template and format the citation in the style used most often in the article.
# The correct full citation does ''not'' appear at the bottom of the article. '''Solution''': Find the source (it may be copied from an article on a similar subject), and check that it verifies the text. If the source can't be found, replace this template with {{tl2|citation not found}}.
# The correct full citation appears at the bottom of the article, and
## The full citation uses a template from the list at [[Help:Citation Style 1|Citation Style 1]]:
### The citation template has only {{para|author}} and this template uses the last name. '''Solution''': Either (a) split the author name in to {{para|last}} and {{para|first}} in the full citation or (b) use the full name in the short citation. Be careful in either case to be consistent with the other citations in the article.
### The name in the short citation is spelled or capitalized differently than in the full citation. '''Solution''': Check the source for the correct spelling, and use the same spelling, spacing, and capitalization in both the short and full citations.
### There is more than one full citation with the same last name and year. '''Solution''': See [[#More than one work in a year|§More than one work in a year]] or [[#Two sources with same last names and years|§Two sources with same last names and years]].
### The year is different here than the full citation. '''Solution''': Check the source for the correct year, and use the same year in both the short and full citations.
### The template has a {{para|date}} field and no {{para|year}} field, but the format of the {{para|date}} field is unusual. '''Solution''': Try to fix the date. If the link still does not work, add {{para|year}} to the citation template. (It's okay if it has both.)
### The template does not have a year, or the date is set to "n.d." (no date). '''Solution''': Set the year field of this template to "n.d.".
### The template does not have an author's or an editor's, last name (authors take precedence over editors). '''Solution''': See [[#Citation template has no author name|§Citation template has no author name]], above.
### The template has no author, date or title. '''Solution''': See [[#Citation template has no author, date or title|§Citation template has no author, date or title]]]
##The citation template doesn't automatically create the anchor, but has {{para|ref}}. '''Solution''': See [[#Citation template doesn't create a compatible anchor but has %7Cref=|§Citation template doesn't create a compatible anchor but has {{para|ref}}]], above.
##The citation template doesn't support anchors at all. '''Solution''': See [[#Citation template does not support any kind of anchor|§Citation format does not support any kind of anchor]], above.
##The full citation is handwritten.
### There are no other citation templates in the article. This is probably because local editors prefer it that way. '''Solution''': You should adapt to the style of the article. This would probably entail removing this template and formatting the short citation in plain text or replacing it with a full citation in {{tag|ref}} tags.
### There are citation templates used liberally throughout the article. '''Solution''': Reformat the source with the appropriate {{cite *}} template (and set the {{para|ref}} appropriately, if necessary).
### No appropriate template can be found. '''Solution''': See [[#No citation template|§No citation template]], above.
===Custom anchors===
A custom anchor using {{tl|sfnref}} can, at least temporarily, always make the shortened footnote look exactly the way you would like and still have a link that works. Many of the problems and workarounds below require a custom anchor.
All CS1 citation templates and several other templates allow you to set a custom anchor with parameter {{para|ref}}. The template {{tl|sfnRef}} creates an anchor that will match {{tl|sfn}}'s if it has the same parameters as {{tl|sfn}}. To use this technique, choose the name and year you would like to appear in {{tl|sfn}}, copy these parameters into {{tl|sfnRef}} and set {{tl|ref}} to the {{tl|sfnRef}}.
In other words, if you want this:
* {{tl2|sfn|<*''name you want''>|<''year''>|<''page / location''>}}
then set this:
* {{para|ref|{{tl2|sfnRef|<''name you want''>|<''year''>}}}}
in the template, and the link should work correctly.
The parameters must be <em>identical</em> in every respect. If the year is unusual (i.e. not a number), then include the year in the name and don't use the year position.
===Large number of authors===
If there are more than four authors, the first four authors' surnames (the value in {{para|last}} or {{para|author}}) are required by the template. Listing more authors is not supported. It is also possible to use a [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]] that sets the name field to "Smith et. al.".

}}
}}}}
===More than one work in a year===
Where there is a need to cite more than one work ''by the same author published in the same year'', the standard way to disambiguate such works is to add a letter suffix after the year, e.g. "Smith 2006a" and "Smith 2006b".
Set the year element of the {{tlc|sfn}} templates (e.g. {{tlc|sfn|Smith|2006a}} and {{tlc|sfn|Smith|2006a}}), and add the disambiguation letter to the matching full citation, (e.g. <code><nowiki>{{cite book|...|last=Smith|date=2006b}}</nowiki></code>).
When {{tlc|sfn}} is used with {{tlx|citation}} or {{cs1}} templates, a year-suffix letter may be added to {{para|date}} for all accepted date formats except year-initial numeric ({{small|YYYY-MM-DD}}). It is not necessary to include both {{para|date}} and {{para|year}} (see exception [[#NB_YEAR|below]]). If both are included, {{para|year}} is used for the <code>CITEREF</code> anchor to be compliant with legacy citations.
:{{para|date|2013a}}: simple year only dates
:{{para|date|Jan 2013b}} or {{para|date|Winter 2013b}}: month or season and year dates
:{{para|date|9 November 2013b}} or {{para|date|November 9, 2013b}}: full dates
:{{para|date|June–July 2013c}} or {{para|date|Winter–Spring 2013c}}: month or season ranges and year dates
:{{para|date|c. 2013d}}: circa year dates
:{{para|date|{{#time:Y}}–{{#time:Y|now +1 year}}e}} or {{para|date|Summer {{#time:Y}}–{{#time:y|now +1 year}}e}}: year ranges
:{{para|date|n.d.f}}: no date (n.d.)
:{{anchor|NB_YEAR}}<s>{{para|date|2013g-11-09}}</s>: not supported, the template must use {{para|year|2013g}}. If month and day should be part of the citation as well, both parameters need to be given: {{para|date|2013-11-09}} {{para|year|2013x}}. In this case, {{para|date}} is used for citation display and metadata purposes, and {{para|year}} for link disambiguation.

===Two sources with same last names and years ===
An article might cite works from the same year by two different authors with the same last name. For example, an article might cite psychoanalysts [[Anna Freud]] and [[Sigmund Freud]], who both wrote books in the same year.
There are two solutions: it's possible to use the same technique described in the previous section. To differentiate between the two books, the first one can be given the year "1928a" and the second one "1928b".
Or, you can create a [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]] that adds an initial to the name fields, e.g. "A. Freud" and "S. Freud". The links will no longer conflict.
{{markup

===Citation template has no year but has a date===
Either the {{para|date}} or {{para|year}} of a citation template can be matched—the template logic can extract the year from a full date. If the date parameter is not a full date, then the extraction will fail. If the link does not seem to work, it also possible to set both {{para|date}} and {{para|year}} parameters. The template will display the date and use the year for the anchor. These two examples show a year being successfully extracted from full date.

===Citation template has no date===
If the cited source does not have a date, you can use {{para|date|n.d.}} for the full citation and "n.d." in place of the date for the short citation:
{{markup
|<nowiki>This is a fact.{{sfn|Smith|n.d.}}
==Notes==
{{reflist}}
==References==
* {{Citation |last=Smith |title=Title |date=n.d. |publisher=Publisher |mode=cs1}}</nowiki>

{{fake heading|sub=3|Notes}}
{{reflist}}
{{fake heading|sub=3|References}}
* {{Citation |last=Smith |title=Title |date=n.d. |publisher=Publisher |mode=cs1}}
}}
===Citation template has no author name===
Some sources do not have a single author with a last name, such as a magazine article or a report from a government institution. There is no consensus (in Wikipedia or among citation styles) about how to format author–date citations for works that do not have a specific author. Several choices are:
# The title of the article, or a shortened form of the title, is recommended by some style guides.
# For a newspaper or periodical, you may use the name of the paper and the date.
# For a publication by an institution, use either:
## The initials of the institution
## The name of the institution
# Other style guides recommend using "Anonymous" or "Anon."
An article should adopt one of these styles consistently.
Use a [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]] to replace set the author name to one of these other choices, as shown in these examples below.

=== Citation template has no author, date or title ===
If the cited source does not have a date, author, or title, place a description of the source within brackets for the {{para|title}} parameter, use {{para|date|n.d.}} and create [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]] with the description in the name position and "n.d." in the year.

===Citation template doesn't create a compatible anchor but has {{para|ref}} ===
{{See section|Wikipedia:Citation templates and reference anchors|Citation templates that create anchors}}
Some templates, such as {{tl|cite comic}}, {{tl|cite thesis}} and {{tl|cite map}} use the parameter {{para|ref}} to create an anchor for the short citation. This can be used to set a [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]] for {{tl|sfn}}

You could also use CITEREF directly with a concatenation of <code>#CITEREF</code> plus the parameters passed to the Harvard citation template.
===Citation template does not support any kind of anchor===
{{See section|Wikipedia:Citation templates and reference anchors|Citation templates that create anchors}}
There are a few templates that do not support any kind of anchor, including {{tl|cite report}}, {{tl|cite music release notes}}, {{tl|cite DVD-notes}}, {{tl|cite episode}} and others.
It is possible to use {{tl|wikicite}} to create an anchor. It has a {{para|ref}} parameter which can be set to a [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]]. In this example, the publisher is considered the editor.

===No citation template ===
If the citation is handwritten you should consider the citation format of the article. If citation templates are used often in this article, then check [[WP:Citation templates]] and try to find one that works for this source. If no template can be found, then this may be a source which can't be represented in our citation templates.
Use {{tl2|wikicite}} to make an anchor, setting Wikicite's {{para|ref}} to a [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]].

== Techniques and variations ==
{{anchor|Additional comments or quotes}}
=== Adding additional comments or quotes ===
The templates {{tl2|harvnb}} or {{tl2|harvtxt}} can be used to add quotes or additional comments into the footnote, in the form of in-text attributions.
{{markup
|<nowiki>
Some information.<ref>{{harvnb|Smith|2011|p=2}}: "A quote verifying the information."</ref>
== Notes ==

{{Fake heading|sub=3|Notes}}
{{reflist}}
}}
===Adding a URL for the page or location===
If a specific link to the page or section is available, a [[Uniform Resource Locator|URL]] can be added to the location or page number.
{{markup
|<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">Article text.{{sfn|Smith|2011|p=[https://en.wikipedia.org 3]}}
Other article text.{{sfn|Smith|2011|loc=[https://en.wikipedia.org §7]}}

{{reflist}}
==References==
* {{cite book | last = Smith | date = 2011 | title = Smith's

|* {{cite book | last = Smith | date = 2011 | title = Smith's book }}
}}}}
(See [[#url weirdness|below]] for a potential issue with this technique.)
===Citations inside explanatory footnotes===
Sometimes an explanatory footnote requires a citation. There are several acceptable solutions.
It is currently disputed (June 2026) whether parenthetical referencing (or narrative referencing, i.e. in-text attribution serving as referencing) is deprecated inside {{tag|ref}} tags used for explanatory footnotes.
Citations using {{tl1|sfn}} can't be directly embedded between {{tag|ref}} tags, because the following message will be produced: {{small|{{error|Cite error references missing group||nocat=true}}}}. But {{tl1|sfn}} can be used with templates {{tl1|efn}} and {{tl1|notelist}}, which separates the explanatory footnotes from the short citations, as shown in this example. (See also [[Chinese Room]], which is an article that makes extensive use of this technique.)

===Multiple lists of inline citations===
Sometimes there is a need to create two or more separate lists of inline footnotes. For example some family trees are contained in templates, they are transluded into several biographies, and they have their own self contained citations (see [[Template:Houston family tree]] and the article [[Margaret Lea Houston]]).
To facilitate this, while the main page uses the standard 1,2,3 footnote counting, it is common for family trees to use the efn template with a group parameter set—for example {{tlx|efn-lg}} (lower-greek). The efn templates are text templates, to link some or all of the content of the efn template to a long citation template such as {{tlx|cite book}} place {{tlx|harvnb}} or {{tlx|harv}} within the efn template.

{{anchor|Ps problems}}
== Other parameters ==
These parameters were designed to handle special cases that are better handled by other techniques.
===Parameter {{para|ps}}===
These templates have a parameter {{para|ps}}, designed to hold quotes and explanations.
Two or more {{tlc|sfn}} templates with the same authors, same year, and same page, but different {{para|ps}} will result in a {{small|{{error|Cite error: The named reference ... was defined multiple times with different content}}}} message. This message happens because the reference names that {{tlc|sfn}} creates will be the same, but the content between the {{tag|ref|params=name="FOOTNOTE..."|o}} tag and the {{tag|ref|c}} tag will be different.
A workaround is to convert the offending {{tlc|sfn}} templates to {{tlx|harvnb}} wrapped in {{tag|ref}} tags, as recommended in [[#Additional comments or quotes|§ Adding additional comments or quotes]]. This method is more versatile and robust.
Template {{para|ps}} also has a second (rare) use, when setting {{para|ps|none}}, which suppressed the final period. See [[#Variations in the format of the author-date citation|§ Variations in the format of the author-date citation]].
===Parameter {{para|ref}}===
The optional parameter {{para|ref}} was used to create an unusually named link from the short citation to the full citation. This typically would require setting the hand coded link on the full citation as well. It's easier to only set the link of the full citation to {{para|ref|{{tl2|sfnref}}}}.
If you specify {{para|ref|none}}, no hyperlink is created. However, if one does not want the link, it is always possible to simply use plain text instead of the template.
The parameter only appears in <nowiki>{{harv*}}</nowiki> templates, and may still appear in a few articles.
==Open problems==
===Link works but displays a no target error===
When a short-cite template links to a full citation that is rendered by a template that wraps a CS1 template, like {{txl|cite DNB}} (which wraps {{txl|cite encyclopedia}}), a {{error-small|no target}} error may be displayed even when the short-cite template is valid and the link works. That is a "false positive" error. The error message can be suppressed by adding {{para|ignore-err|yes}} to the template, or by adding the template {{t|Sfn whitelist}} with the anchor ID(s) to the article. If you are testing changes in [[Special:ExpandTemplates]] and the error message cannot be suppressed, try testing in a sandbox or user subpage instead.
==={{ucfirst:sfn}} embedded in list-defined ref does not work===
If you [[Help:Footnotes#embedding references|embed]] an {{ucfirst:sfn}} 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}}.
==Implementation notes==
These templates use two elements: a [[wikilink]] in the body of the article, and an [[WP:ANCHOR DEF|anchor]] in the reference section of the article. Clicking on the wikilink repositions the page at the anchor.
===Citation template [[HTML element#Links and anchors|anchor]]===
{{See also|Wikipedia:Citation templates and reference anchors}}
The most common citation templates are {{cs1}} or {{cs2}}. By default, [[Module:Citation/CS1]] creates an [[HTML element#Links and anchors|anchor]] {{tag|a|o|params=name="CITEREF"}} followed by the concatenation of the following parameters:
* '''last''' or '''last1''' or '''surname''' or '''surname1''' or '''author-last''' or '''author-last1''' or '''author1-last''' or '''author-surname''' or '''author-surname1''' or '''author1-surname''' or '''author''' or '''author1''' or '''authors''',
* '''last2''' or '''surname2''' or '''author-last2''' or '''author2-last''' or '''author-surname2''' or '''author2-surname''' or '''author2''',
* '''last3''' or '''surname3''' or '''author-last3''' or '''author3-last''' or '''author-surname3''' or '''author3-surname''' or '''author3''',
* '''last4''' or '''surname4''' or '''author-last4''' or '''author4-last''' or '''author-surname4''' or '''author4-surname''' or '''author4''',
* '''editor-last''' or '''editor-last1''' or '''editor1-last''' or '''editor-surname''' or '''editor-surname1''' or '''editor1-surname''' or '''editor1''' or '''editor''',
* '''editor-last2''' or '''editor2-last''' or '''editor-surname2''' or '''editor2-surname''' or '''editor2''',
* '''editor-last3''' or '''editor3-last''' or '''editor-surname3''' or '''editor3-surname''' or '''editor3''',
* '''editor-last4''' or '''editor4-last''' or '''editor-surname4''' or '''editor4-surname''' or '''editor4''',
* '''date''', '''year'''
This covers the most common templates. Information about all of the templates is available at [[Wikipedia:Citation templates and reference anchors]].
Use of the '''date''' parameter in place of the '''year''' parameter in citation templates is preferred.
===Harvard citation wikilink===
The Harvard citation templates create a [[wikilink]] to the anchor. For example {{tlx|Harv|Smith|2006|4=p=25}} produces the link {{code|#CITEREFSmith2006}} and {{tlx|Citation|2=last=Smith|3=first=John|4=date=27 January 2006|5=title=My Life}} produces the anchor {{code|CITEREFSmith2006}}.
===Using CITEREF directly===
{{Shortcut|WP:CITEREF}}
A few articles create a custom ID using {{code|CITEREF}}, either in place of the Harvard citation template (e.g. <code><nowiki>[[#CITEREFSmith2006|(2006)]]</nowiki></code>) or as a value for {{para|ref}} in the citation template.
{{Refname rules|A custom ID must follow these rules:|
* If CITEREF is used, then spaces in the {{para|ref}} field must be replaced with underscores}}
Examples:
* {{tlx|sfn|{{var|cite name}}|{{var|year}}}}
* {{tlx|cite book|2=ref=CITEREF{{var|cite_nameyear}}}}
* {{tlx|cite book|2=ref={{tl|sfnref|{{var|cite_name}}|{{var|year}}}}}}
Where {{var|cite_name}} is a name such as the publisher.
To avoid the sometimes difficult to remember syntax for links to CITEREF anchors, {{tl|citeref}} can be used to create internal wikilinks with either small superscript-style labels (like this<sup>[n]</sup>) or plain free-text labels to such anchors. It can be used inside of other citations.
Note that the {{code|CITEREF}} prefix is necessary for the [[mw:Reference Tooltips|reference tooltips gadget]] ([[MediaWiki:Gadget-ReferenceTooltips.js]]) to detect that a link goes to a citation.
===[[Template:sfn|<code><nowiki>{{sfn}}</nowiki></code>]]'s [[WP:REFNAME|ref name]]===
Template {{tl2|sfn}} creates a [[WP:REFNAME|named footnote]], so that identical footnotes are combined automatically. The footnote name begins with {{code|FOOTNOTE}} followed by a concatenation of the arguments to {{tl2|sfn}}. E.g.: this template call {{tlx|sfn|Smith|2006|4=p=26}} should have exactly the same functionality as {{tag|ref|params=name="FOOTNOTESmith200626"|content={{tl|Harvnb|Smith|2006|4=p=26}}.}} which, in turn, has the same functionality as {{tag|ref|params=name="FOOTNOTESmith200626"|content=<nowiki>[[#CITEREFSmith2006|Smith (2006)]], p.&nbsp;26.</nowiki>}}.
{{anchor|url weirdness}}
The ref name becomes more complicated when the page (p) parameter includes a URL, e.g. {{tlg|sfn|Joyce|1903|p{{=}}[https://archive.org/details/aconcisehistory00joycgoog/page/n226 213]|code=on}}, which, once defined, can be called by {{tag|ref|empty|params=name="FOOTNOTEJoyce1903[httpsarchiveorgdetailsaconcisehistory00joycgoogpagen226 213]"}}. The "p=" and the characters |,:,.,/,?,=; are therefore stripped out of the URL. The content of the loc parameter is similarly appended after this.
The call to {{tl2|harvnb}} has been [[subst]]'ed for quicker load times.

{{Lua|Module:Footnotes|Module:Check for unknown parameters}}
The '''shortened footnote template''' {{tl|sfn}} creates a short [[WP:Citing sources#Short citations|author–date citation]] in a [[Wikipedia:Citing sources|footnote]], with a one-directional link to the first matching [[Wikipedia:Citation templates|citation template]] on the same page. It will combine identical footnotes automatically.
It is used to create {{sfnote|lc=y}}, a [[WP:CITESTYLE|citation style]] which pairs a short, author-date citation in a footnote with a [[WP:HOWCITE|complete citation]] in the references section at the end of the article (see example [[#Example|below]]). This citation style is used to simplify multiple citations to the same source and to reduce clutter in the edit window.
Common problems and known workarounds are given in the sections below. Use the table of contents to find what you need.
Note that the use (or even non-use) of these templates is an element of citation "style", and adding or removing them in articles with an established style should be consistent with that style. See [[WP:CITEVAR]].
==Usage==
'''Sfn''' generates an "author-date" style short-cite from the following parameters:
<div style="margin-left: 2em"><code>{{<nowiki>sfn</nowiki>| <{{var|last1}}*> | <{{var|last2}}> | <{{var|last3}}> | <{{var|last4}}> | <{{var|year}}*> | p= <{{var|page}}> | loc= <{{var|location}}> }}</code></div>
with
* <{{var|last1}}> – required; surname of first author or corporate author
* <{{var|last2}}>–<{{var|last4}}> – positional parameters; surnames of next three authors; required if available in the full citation
* <{{var|year}}> – required; four-digit year; may have a lowercase disambiguation letter, like {{pval|2012a}}
* {{para|p}} – specific page referenced in the source (alias: {{para|page}}{{hairspace}})
* {{para|pp}} – comma-separated list of [[Template:Csdoc#pages|individual pages and / or range(s) of pages]] referenced in the source (alias: {{para|pages}}{{hairspace}})
* {{para|loc}} – in-source location when {{para|p}} and {{para|pp}} are inappropriate; may be used to supplement {{para|p}} and {{para|pp}}; information such as a section or figure number. (alias: {{para|at}}{{hairspace}})
=== Example ===
Typical usage is shown in the example below. The text and the footnote are connected by a bi-directional link – clicking on the superscript takes the reader to the footnote, clicking on the footnote number takes them back to the superscript. The clicking on the short citation takes them to the full citation in the references section.
'''Sfn''' will also automatically combine identical footnotes.

Template '''sfn''' is not placed inside {{tag|ref}} tags and generates the footnote internally. (To place '''sfn''' in a footnote, see [[#A citation inside an explanatory footnote|putting a citation inside a footnote]], below.)
===Parameters===
====Author(s) and year====
The first four author surnames (or all authors if fewer than four; use the values from {{para|last''N''}} or {{para|author''N''}}{{hairspace}}) are required, followed by the year of publication (from {{para|year}} or {{para|date}}). Authors past the fourth must be omitted or an error will result.
The [[#Possible issues with author-date link|possible issues]] section below describes workarounds for various common problems, such as [[#Large number of authors|large number of authors]], [[#No author name in citation template|no author name]], [[#More than one work in a year|multiple works in the same year]], [[#Two sources with same last names and years|Two sources with same last names and years]] and others.

Use {{para|p}} for single pages; use {{para|pp}} for multiple pages (such as ranges). Use of {{para|p}} for multiple pages or {{para|pp}} for single pages can cause [[Help:Cite errors/Cite error references duplicate key|cite errors]].
{{para|loc}} can be used to specify a location in the source in another way, such as section numbers or chapters. It can also be combined with {{para|p}} or {{para|pp}}.

==Possible issues with author-date link==
{{for|information on how to turn on error messages for broken links|:Category:Harv and Sfn template errors}}
These are techniques that address various unusual difficulties with the link between the short citation and the full citation.
Templates that have broken [[wikilink]]s using these templates are added to the category {{cat|All articles with broken links to citations}}.
===Wikilink to citation does not work===
If an article is using this template and nothing happens when you click on the highlighted [[wikilink]] from the [[WP:SHORTCITE|short citation]] to the [[WP:SHORTCITE|full citation]] at the bottom of the page, there are several possible solutions. If:
# Templates like this one are rarely used in this article. '''Solution''': Remove this template and format the citation in the style used most often in the article.
# The correct full citation does ''not'' appear at the bottom of the article. '''Solution''': Find the source (it may be copied from an article on a similar subject), and check that it verifies the text. If the source can't be found, replace this template with {{tl2|citation not found}}.
# The correct full citation appears at the bottom of the article, and
## The full citation uses a template from the list at [[Help:Citation Style 1|Citation Style 1]]:
### The citation template has only {{para|author}} and this template uses the last name. '''Solution''': Either (a) split the author name in to {{para|last}} and {{para|first}} in the full citation or (b) use the full name in the short citation. Be careful in either case to be consistent with the other citations in the article.
### The name in the short citation is spelled or capitalized differently than in the full citation. '''Solution''': Check the source for the correct spelling, and use the same spelling, spacing, and capitalization in both the short and full citations.
### There is more than one full citation with the same last name and year. '''Solution''': See [[#More than one work in a year|§More than one work in a year]] or [[#Two sources with same last names and years|§Two sources with same last names and years]].
### The year is different here than the full citation. '''Solution''': Check the source for the correct year, and use the same year in both the short and full citations.
### The template has a {{para|date}} field and no {{para|year}} field, but the format of the {{para|date}} field is unusual. '''Solution''': Try to fix the date. If the link still does not work, add {{para|year}} to the citation template. (It's okay if it has both.)
### The template does not have a year, or the date is set to "n.d." (no date). '''Solution''': Set the year field of this template to "n.d.".
### The template does not have an author's or an editor's, last name (authors take precedence over editors). '''Solution''': See [[#Citation template has no author name|§Citation template has no author name]], below.
### The template has no author, date or title. '''Solution''': See [[#Citation template has no author, date or title|§Citation template has no author, date or title]]]
##The citation template doesn't automatically create the anchor, but has {{para|ref}}. '''Solution''': See [[#Citation template doesn't create a compatible anchor but has %7Cref=|§Citation template doesn't create a compatible anchor but has {{para|ref}}]], below.
##The citation template doesn't support anchors at all. '''Solution''': See [[#Citation template does not support any kind of anchor|§Citation format does not support any kind of anchor]], below.
##The full citation is handwritten.
### There are no other citation templates in the article. This is probably because local editors prefer it that way. '''Solution''': You should adapt to the style of the article. This would probably entail removing this template and formatting the short citation in plain text or replacing it with a full citation in {{tag|ref}} tags.
### There are citation templates used liberally throughout the article. '''Solution''': Reformat the source with the appropriate {{cite *}} template (and set the {{para|ref}} appropriately, if necessary).
### No appropriate template can be found. '''Solution''': See [[#No citation template|§No citation template]], below.
===Custom anchors===
A custom anchor using {{tl|sfnref}} can, at least temporarily, always make the shortened footnote look exactly the way you would like and still have a link that works. Many of the problems and workarounds below require a custom anchor.
All CS1 citation templates and several other templates allow you to set a custom anchor with parameter {{para|ref}}. The template {{tl|sfnRef}} creates an anchor that will match {{tl|sfn}}'s if it has the same parameters as {{tl|sfn}}. To use this technique, choose the name and year you would like to appear in {{tl|sfn}}, copy these parameters into {{tl|sfnRef}} and set {{tl|ref}} to the {{tl|sfnRef}}.
In other words, if you want this:
* {{tl2|sfn|<*''name you want''>|<''year''>|<''page / location''>}}
then set this:
* {{para|ref|{{tl2|sfnRef|<''name you want''>|<''year''>}}}}
in the template, and the link should work correctly.
The parameters must be <em>identical</em> in every respect. If the year is unusual (i.e. not a number), then include the year in the name and don't use the year position.
===Large number of authors===
If there are more than four authors, the first four authors' surnames (the value in {{para|last}} or {{para|author}}) are required by the template. Listing more authors is not supported. It is also possible to use a [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]] that sets the name field to "Smith et. al.".

}}
}}}}
===More than one work in a year===
Where there is a need to cite more than one work ''by the same author published in the same year'', the standard way to disambiguate such works is to add a letter suffix after the year, e.g. "Smith 2006a" and "Smith 2006b".
Set the year element of the {{tlc|sfn}} templates (e.g. {{tlc|sfn|Smith|2006a}} and {{tlc|sfn|Smith|2006a}}), and add the disambiguation letter to the matching full citation, (e.g. <code><nowiki>{{cite book|...|last=Smith|date=2006b}}</nowiki></code>).
When {{tlc|sfn}} is used with {{tlx|citation}} or {{cs1}} templates, a year-suffix letter may be added to {{para|date}} for all accepted date formats except year-initial numeric ({{small|YYYY-MM-DD}}). It is not necessary to include both {{para|date}} and {{para|year}} (see exception [[#NB_YEAR|below]]). If both are included, {{para|year}} is used for the <code>CITEREF</code> anchor to be compliant with legacy citations.
:{{para|date|2013a}}: simple year only dates
:{{para|date|Jan 2013b}} or {{para|date|Winter 2013b}}: month or season and year dates
:{{para|date|9 November 2013b}} or {{para|date|November 9, 2013b}}: full dates
:{{para|date|June–July 2013c}} or {{para|date|Winter–Spring 2013c}}: month or season ranges and year dates
:{{para|date|c. 2013d}}: circa year dates
:{{para|date|{{#time:Y}}–{{#time:Y|now +1 year}}e}} or {{para|date|Summer {{#time:Y}}–{{#time:y|now +1 year}}e}}: year ranges
:{{para|date|n.d.f}}: no date (n.d.)
:{{anchor|NB_YEAR}}<s>{{para|date|2013g-11-09}}</s>: not supported, the template must use {{para|year|2013g}}. If month and day should be part of the citation as well, both parameters need to be given: {{para|date|2013-11-09}} {{para|year|2013x}}. In this case, {{para|date}} is used for citation display and metadata purposes, and {{para|year}} for link disambiguation.

===Two sources with same last names and years ===
An article might cite works from the same year by two different authors with the same last name. For example, an article might cite psychoanalysts [[Anna Freud]] and [[Sigmund Freud]], who both wrote books in the same year.
There are two solutions: it's possible to use the same technique described in the previous section. To differentiate between the two books, the first one can be given the year "1928a" and the second one "1928b".
Or, you can create a [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]] that adds an initial to the name fields, e.g. "A. Freud" and "S. Freud". The links will no longer conflict.
{{markup

===Citation template has no year but has a date===
Either the {{para|date}} or {{para|year}} of a citation template can be matched—the template logic can extract the year from a full date. If the date parameter is not a full date, then the extraction will fail. If the link does not seem to work, it also possible to set both {{para|date}} and {{para|year}} parameters. The template will display the date and use the year for the anchor. These two examples show a year being successfully extracted from full date.

===Citation template has no date===
If the cited source does not have a date, you can use {{para|date|n.d.}} for the full citation and "n.d." in place of the date for the short citation:
{{markup
|<nowiki>This is a fact.{{sfn|Smith|n.d.}}
==Notes==
{{reflist}}
==References==
* {{Citation |last=Smith |title=Title |date=n.d. |publisher=Publisher |mode=cs1}}</nowiki>

{{fake heading|sub=3|Notes}}
{{reflist}}
{{fake heading|sub=3|References}}
* {{Citation |last=Smith |title=Title |date=n.d. |publisher=Publisher |mode=cs1}}
}}
===Citation template has no author name===
Some sources do not have a single author with a last name, such as a magazine article or a report from a government institution. There is no consensus (in Wikipedia or among citation styles) about how to format author–date citations for works that do not have a specific author. Several choices are:
# The title of the article, or a shortened form of the title, is recommended by some style guides.
# For a newspaper or periodical, you may use the name of the paper and the date.
# For a publication by an institution, use either:
## The initials of the institution
## The name of the institution
# Other style guides recommend using "Anonymous" or "Anon."
An article should adopt one of these styles consistently.
Use a [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]] to replace set the author name to one of these other choices, as shown in these examples below.

=== Citation template has no author, date or title ===
If the cited source does not have a date, author, or title, place a description of the source within brackets for the {{para|title}} parameter, use {{para|date|n.d.}} and create [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]] with the description in the name position and "n.d." in the year.

===Citation template doesn't create a compatible anchor but has {{para|ref}} ===
{{See section|Wikipedia:Citation templates and reference anchors|Citation templates that create anchors}}
Some templates, such as {{tl|cite comic}}, {{tl|cite thesis}} and {{tl|cite map}} use the parameter {{para|ref}} to create an anchor for the short citation. This can be used to set a [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]] for {{tl|sfn}}

You could also use CITEREF directly with a concatenation of <code>#CITEREF</code> plus the parameters passed to the Harvard citation template.
===Citation template does not support any kind of anchor===
{{See section|Wikipedia:Citation templates and reference anchors|Citation templates that create anchors}}
There are a few templates that do not support any kind of anchor, including {{tl|cite report}}, {{tl|cite music release notes}}, {{tl|cite DVD-notes}}, {{tl|cite episode}} and others.
It is possible to use {{tl|wikicite}} to create an anchor. It has a {{para|ref}} parameter which can be set to a [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]]. In this example, the publisher is considered the editor.

===No citation template ===
If the citation is handwritten you should consider the citation format of the article. If citation templates are used often in this article, then check [[WP:Citation templates]] and try to find one that works for this source. If no template can be found, then this may be a source which can't be represented in our citation templates.
Use {{tl2|wikicite}} to make an anchor, setting Wikicite's {{para|ref}} to a [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]].

== Techniques and variations ==
{{anchor|Additional comments or quotes}}
=== Adding additional comments or quotes ===
The templates {{tl2|harvnb}} or {{tl2|harvtxt}} can be used to add quotes or additional comments into the footnote, in the form of in-text attributions.
{{markup
|<nowiki>
Some information.<ref>{{harvnb|Smith|2011|p=2}}: "A quote verifying the information."</ref>
== Notes ==

{{Fake heading|sub=3|Notes}}
{{reflist}}
}}
===Adding a URL for the page or location===
If a specific link to the page or section is available, a [[Uniform Resource Locator|URL]] can be added to the location or page number.
{{markup
|<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">Article text.{{sfn|Smith|2011|p=[https://en.wikipedia.org 3]}}
Other article text.{{sfn|Smith|2011|loc=[https://en.wikipedia.org §7]}}

{{reflist}}
==References==
* {{cite book | last = Smith | date = 2011 | title = Smith's

|* {{cite book | last = Smith | date = 2011 | title = Smith's book }}
}}}}
(See [[#url weirdness|below]] for a potential issue with this technique.)
===Citations inside explanatory footnotes===
Sometimes an explanatory footnote requires a citation. There are several acceptable solutions.
It is currently disputed (June 2026) whether parenthetical referencing (or narrative referencing, i.e. in-text attribution serving as referencing) is deprecated inside {{tag|ref}} tags used for explanatory footnotes.
Citations using {{tl1|sfn}} can't be directly embedded between {{tag|ref}} tags, because the following message will be produced: {{small|{{error|Cite error references missing group||nocat=true}}}}. But {{tl1|sfn}} can be used with templates {{tl1|efn}} and {{tl1|notelist}}, which separates the explanatory footnotes from the short citations, as shown in this example. (See also [[Chinese Room]], which is an article that makes extensive use of this technique.)

===Multiple lists of inline citations===
Sometimes there is a need to create two or more separate lists of inline footnotes. For example some family trees are contained in templates, they are transluded into several biographies, and they have their own self contained citations (see [[Template:Houston family tree]] and the article [[Margaret Lea Houston]]).
To facilitate this, while the main page uses the standard 1,2,3 footnote counting, it is common for family trees to use the efn template with a group parameter set—for example {{tlx|efn-lg}} (lower-greek). The efn templates are text templates, to link some or all of the content of the efn template to a long citation template such as {{tlx|cite book}} place {{tlx|harvnb}} or {{tlx|harv}} within the efn template.

{{anchor|Ps problems}}
== Other parameters ==
These parameters were designed to handle special cases that are better handled by other techniques.
===Parameter {{para|ps}}===
These templates have a parameter {{para|ps}}, designed to hold quotes and explanations.
Two or more {{tlc|sfn}} templates with the same authors, same year, and same page, but different {{para|ps}} will result in a {{small|{{error|Cite error: The named reference ... was defined multiple times with different content}}}} message. This message happens because the reference names that {{tlc|sfn}} creates will be the same, but the content between the {{tag|ref|params=name="FOOTNOTE..."|o}} tag and the {{tag|ref|c}} tag will be different.
A workaround is to convert the offending {{tlc|sfn}} templates to {{tlx|harvnb}} wrapped in {{tag|ref}} tags, as recommended in [[#Additional comments or quotes|§ Adding additional comments or quotes]]. This method is more versatile and robust.
Template {{para|ps}} also has a second (rare) use, when setting {{para|ps|none}}, which suppressed the final period. See [[#Variations in the format of the author-date citation|§ Variations in the format of the author-date citation]].
===Parameter {{para|ref}}===
The optional parameter {{para|ref}} was used to create an unusually named link from the short citation to the full citation. This typically would require setting the hand coded link on the full citation as well. It's easier to only set the link of the full citation to {{para|ref|{{tl2|sfnref}}}}.
If you specify {{para|ref|none}}, no hyperlink is created. However, if one does not want the link, it is always possible to simply use plain text instead of the template.
The parameter only appears in <nowiki>{{harv*}}</nowiki> templates, and may still appear in a few articles.
==Open problems==
===Link works but displays a no target error===
When a short-cite template links to a full citation that is rendered by a template that wraps a CS1 template, like {{txl|cite DNB}} (which wraps {{txl|cite encyclopedia}}), a {{error-small|no target}} error may be displayed even when the short-cite template is valid and the link works. That is a "false positive" error. The error message can be suppressed by adding {{para|ignore-err|yes}} to the template, or by adding the template {{t|Sfn whitelist}} with the anchor ID(s) to the article. If you are testing changes in [[Special:ExpandTemplates]] and the error message cannot be suppressed, try testing in a sandbox or user subpage instead.
==={{ucfirst:sfn}} embedded in list-defined ref does not work===
If you [[Help:Footnotes#embedding references|embed]] an {{ucfirst:sfn}} 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}}.
==Implementation notes==
These templates use two elements: a [[wikilink]] in the body of the article, and an [[WP:ANCHOR DEF|anchor]] in the reference section of the article. Clicking on the wikilink repositions the page at the anchor.
===Citation template [[HTML element#Links and anchors|anchor]]===
{{See also|Wikipedia:Citation templates and reference anchors}}
The most common citation templates are {{cs1}} or {{cs2}}. By default, [[Module:Citation/CS1]] creates an [[HTML element#Links and anchors|anchor]] {{tag|a|o|params=name="CITEREF"}} followed by the concatenation of the following parameters:
* '''last''' or '''last1''' or '''surname''' or '''surname1''' or '''author-last''' or '''author-last1''' or '''author1-last''' or '''author-surname''' or '''author-surname1''' or '''author1-surname''' or '''author''' or '''author1''' or '''authors''',
* '''last2''' or '''surname2''' or '''author-last2''' or '''author2-last''' or '''author-surname2''' or '''author2-surname''' or '''author2''',
* '''last3''' or '''surname3''' or '''author-last3''' or '''author3-last''' or '''author-surname3''' or '''author3-surname''' or '''author3''',
* '''last4''' or '''surname4''' or '''author-last4''' or '''author4-last''' or '''author-surname4''' or '''author4-surname''' or '''author4''',
* '''editor-last''' or '''editor-last1''' or '''editor1-last''' or '''editor-surname''' or '''editor-surname1''' or '''editor1-surname''' or '''editor1''' or '''editor''',
* '''editor-last2''' or '''editor2-last''' or '''editor-surname2''' or '''editor2-surname''' or '''editor2''',
* '''editor-last3''' or '''editor3-last''' or '''editor-surname3''' or '''editor3-surname''' or '''editor3''',
* '''editor-last4''' or '''editor4-last''' or '''editor-surname4''' or '''editor4-surname''' or '''editor4''',
* '''date''', '''year'''
This covers the most common templates. Information about all of the templates is available at [[Wikipedia:Citation templates and reference anchors]].
Use of the '''date''' parameter in place of the '''year''' parameter in citation templates is preferred.
===Harvard citation wikilink===
The Harvard citation templates create a [[wikilink]] to the anchor. For example {{tlx|Harv|Smith|2006|4=p=25}} produces the link {{code|#CITEREFSmith2006}} and {{tlx|Citation|2=last=Smith|3=first=John|4=date=27 January 2006|5=title=My Life}} produces the anchor {{code|CITEREFSmith2006}}.
===Using CITEREF directly===
{{Shortcut|WP:CITEREF}}
A few articles create a custom ID using {{code|CITEREF}}, either in place of the Harvard citation template (e.g. <code><nowiki>[[#CITEREFSmith2006|(2006)]]</nowiki></code>) or as a value for {{para|ref}} in the citation template.
{{Refname rules|A custom ID must follow these rules:|
* If CITEREF is used, then spaces in the {{para|ref}} field must be replaced with underscores}}
Examples:
* {{tlx|sfn|{{var|cite name}}|{{var|year}}}}
* {{tlx|cite book|2=ref=CITEREF{{var|cite_nameyear}}}}
* {{tlx|cite book|2=ref={{tl|sfnref|{{var|cite_name}}|{{var|year}}}}}}
Where {{var|cite_name}} is a name such as the publisher.
To avoid the sometimes difficult to remember syntax for links to CITEREF anchors, {{tl|citeref}} can be used to create internal wikilinks with either small superscript-style labels (like this<sup>[n]</sup>) or plain free-text labels to such anchors. It can be used inside of other citations.
Note that the {{code|CITEREF}} prefix is necessary for the [[mw:Reference Tooltips|reference tooltips gadget]] ([[MediaWiki:Gadget-ReferenceTooltips.js]]) to detect that a link goes to a citation.
===[[Template:sfn|<code><nowiki>{{sfn}}</nowiki></code>]]'s [[WP:REFNAME|ref name]]===
Template {{tl2|sfn}} creates a [[WP:REFNAME|named footnote]], so that identical footnotes are combined automatically. The footnote name begins with {{code|FOOTNOTE}} followed by a concatenation of the arguments to {{tl2|sfn}}. E.g.: this template call {{tlx|sfn|Smith|2006|4=p=26}} should have exactly the same functionality as {{tag|ref|params=name="FOOTNOTESmith200626"|content={{tl|Harvnb|Smith|2006|4=p=26}}.}} which, in turn, has the same functionality as {{tag|ref|params=name="FOOTNOTESmith200626"|content=<nowiki>[[#CITEREFSmith2006|Smith (2006)]], p.&nbsp;26.</nowiki>}}.
{{anchor|url weirdness}}
The ref name becomes more complicated when the page (p) parameter includes a URL, e.g. {{tlg|sfn|Joyce|1903|p{{=}}[https://archive.org/details/aconcisehistory00joycgoog/page/n226 213]|code=on}}, which, once defined, can be called by {{tag|ref|empty|params=name="FOOTNOTEJoyce1903[httpsarchiveorgdetailsaconcisehistory00joycgoogpagen226 213]"}}. The "p=" and the characters |,:,.,/,?,=; are therefore stripped out of the URL. The content of the loc parameter is similarly appended after this.
The call to {{tl2|harvnb}} has been [[subst]]'ed for quicker load times.

{{Lua|Module:Footnotes|Module:Check for unknown parameters}}
The '''shortened footnote template''' {{tl|sfn}} creates a short [[WP:Citing sources#Short citations|author–date citation]] in a [[Wikipedia:Citing sources|footnote]], with a one-directional link to the first matching [[Wikipedia:Citation templates|citation template]] on the same page. It will combine identical footnotes automatically.
It is used to create {{sfnote|lc=y}}, a [[WP:CITESTYLE|citation style]] which pairs a short, author-date citation in a footnote with a [[WP:HOWCITE|complete citation]] in the references section at the end of the article (see example [[#Example|below]]). This citation style is used to simplify multiple citations to the same source and to reduce clutter in the edit window.
Common problems and known workarounds are given in the sections below. Use the table of contents to find what you need.
Note that the use (or even non-use) of these templates is an element of citation "style", and adding or removing them in articles with an established style should be consistent with that style. See [[WP:CITEVAR]].
==Usage==
'''Sfn''' generates an "author-date" style short-cite from the following parameters:
<div style="margin-left: 2em"><code>{{<nowiki>sfn</nowiki>| <{{var|last1}}*> | <{{var|last2}}> | <{{var|last3}}> | <{{var|last4}}> | <{{var|year}}*> | p= <{{var|page}}> | loc= <{{var|location}}> }}</code></div>
with
* <{{var|last1}}> – required; surname of first author or corporate author
* <{{var|last2}}>–<{{var|last4}}> – positional parameters; surnames of next three authors; required if available in the full citation
* <{{var|year}}> – required; four-digit year; may have a lowercase disambiguation letter, like {{pval|2012a}}
* {{para|p}} – specific page referenced in the source (alias: {{para|page}}{{hairspace}})
* {{para|pp}} – comma-separated list of [[Template:Csdoc#pages|individual pages and / or range(s) of pages]] referenced in the source (alias: {{para|pages}}{{hairspace}})
* {{para|loc}} – in-source location when {{para|p}} and {{para|pp}} are inappropriate; may be used to supplement {{para|p}} and {{para|pp}}; information such as a section or figure number. (alias: {{para|at}}{{hairspace}})
=== Example ===
Typical usage is shown in the example below. The text and the footnote are connected by a bi-directional link – clicking on the superscript takes the reader to the footnote, clicking on the footnote number takes them back to the superscript. The clicking on the short citation takes them to the full citation in the references section.
'''Sfn''' will also automatically combine identical footnotes.

Template '''sfn''' is not placed inside {{tag|ref}} tags and generates the footnote internally. (To place '''sfn''' in a footnote, see [[#A citation inside an explanatory footnote|putting a citation inside a footnote]], below.)
===Parameters===
====Author(s) and year====
The first four author surnames (or all authors if fewer than four; use the values from {{para|last''N''}} or {{para|author''N''}}{{hairspace}}) are required, followed by the year of publication (from {{para|year}} or {{para|date}}). Authors past the fourth must be omitted or an error will result.
The [[#Possible issues with author-date link|possible issues]] section below describes workarounds for various common problems, such as [[#Large number of authors|large number of authors]], [[#No author name in citation template|no author name]], [[#More than one work in a year|multiple works in the same year]], [[#Two sources with same last names and years|Two sources with same last names and years]] and others.

Use {{para|p}} for single pages; use {{para|pp}} for multiple pages (such as ranges). Use of {{para|p}} for multiple pages or {{para|pp}} for single pages can cause [[Help:Cite errors/Cite error references duplicate key|cite errors]].
{{para|loc}} can be used to specify a location in the source in another way, such as section numbers or chapters. It can also be combined with {{para|p}} or {{para|pp}}.

==Possible issues with author-date link==
{{for|information on how to turn on error messages for broken links|:Category:Harv and Sfn template errors}}
These are techniques that address various unusual difficulties with the link between the short citation and the full citation.
Templates that have broken [[wikilink]]s using these templates are added to the category {{cat|All articles with broken links to citations}}.
===Wikilink to citation does not work===
If an article is using this template and nothing happens when you click on the highlighted [[wikilink]] from the [[WP:SHORTCITE|short citation]] to the [[WP:SHORTCITE|full citation]] at the bottom of the page, there are several possible solutions. If:
# Templates like this one are rarely used in this article. '''Solution''': Remove this template and format the citation in the style used most often in the article.
# The correct full citation does ''not'' appear at the bottom of the article. '''Solution''': Find the source (it may be copied from an article on a similar subject), and check that it verifies the text. If the source can't be found, replace this template with {{tl2|citation not found}}.
# The correct full citation appears at the bottom of the article, and
## The full citation uses a template from the list at [[Help:Citation Style 1|Citation Style 1]]:
### The citation template has only {{para|author}} and this template uses the last name. '''Solution''': Either (a) split the author name in to {{para|last}} and {{para|first}} in the full citation or (b) use the full name in the short citation. Be careful in either case to be consistent with the other citations in the article.
### The name in the short citation is spelled or capitalized differently than in the full citation. '''Solution''': Check the source for the correct spelling, and use the same spelling, spacing, and capitalization in both the short and full citations.
### There is more than one full citation with the same last name and year. '''Solution''': See [[#More than one work in a year|§More than one work in a year]] or [[#Two sources with same last names and years|§Two sources with same last names and years]].
### The year is different here than the full citation. '''Solution''': Check the source for the correct year, and use the same year in both the short and full citations.
### The template has a {{para|date}} field and no {{para|year}} field, but the format of the {{para|date}} field is unusual. '''Solution''': Try to fix the date. If the link still does not work, add {{para|year}} to the citation template. (It's okay if it has both.)
### The template does not have a year, or the date is set to "n.d." (no date). '''Solution''': Set the year field of this template to "n.d.".
### The template does not have an author's or an editor's, last name (authors take precedence over editors). '''Solution''': See [[#Citation template has no author name|§Citation template has no author name]], below.
### The template has no author, date or title. '''Solution''': See [[#Citation template has no author, date or title|§Citation template has no author, date or title]]
##Find the citation template in [[Wikipedia:Citation templates and reference anchors#Citation templates that create anchors|WP:Citation templates and anchors]] and find out if it has support for an anchor.
### The citation template doesn't automatically create the anchor, but has {{para|ref}}. '''Solution''': See [[#Citation template doesn't create a compatible anchor but has %7Cref=|§Citation template doesn't create a compatible anchor but has {{para|ref}}]], below.
### The citation template doesn't support anchors at all. '''Solution''': See [[#Citation template does not support any kind of anchor|§Citation format does not support any kind of anchor]], below.
##The full citation is handwritten.
### There are no other citation templates in the article. This is probably because local editors prefer it that way. '''Solution''': You should adapt to the style of the article. This would probably entail removing this template and formatting the short citation in plain text or replacing it with a full citation in {{tag|ref}} tags.
### There are citation templates used liberally throughout the article. '''Solution''': Reformat the source with the appropriate {{cite *}} template (and set the {{para|ref}} appropriately, if necessary).
### No appropriate template can be found. '''Solution''': See [[#No citation template|§No citation template]], below.
===Custom anchors===
A custom anchor using {{tl|sfnref}} can, at least temporarily, always make the shortened footnote look exactly the way you would like and still have a link that works. Many of the problems and workarounds below require a custom anchor.
All CS1 citation templates and several other templates allow you to set a custom anchor with parameter {{para|ref}}. The template {{tl|sfnRef}} creates an anchor that will match {{tl|sfn}}'s if it has the same parameters as {{tl|sfn}}. To use this technique, choose the name and year you would like to appear in {{tl|sfn}}, copy these parameters into {{tl|sfnRef}} and set {{tl|ref}} to the {{tl|sfnRef}}.
In other words, if you want this:
* {{tl2|sfn|<*''name you want''>|<''year''>|<''page / location''>}}
then set this:
* {{para|ref|{{tl2|sfnRef|<''name you want''>|<''year''>}}}}
in the template, and the link should work correctly.
The parameters must be <em>identical</em> in every respect. If the year is unusual (i.e. not a number), then include the year in the name and don't use the year position.
===Large number of authors===
If there are more than four authors, the first four authors' surnames (the value in {{para|last}} or {{para|author}}) are required by the template. Listing more authors is not supported. It is also possible to use a [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]] that sets the name field to "Smith et. al.".

}}}}
===More than one work in a year===
Where there is a need to cite more than one work ''by the same author published in the same year'', the standard way to disambiguate such works is to add a letter suffix after the year, e.g. "Smith 2006a" and "Smith 2006b".
Set the year element of the {{tlc|sfn}} templates (e.g. {{tlc|sfn|Smith|2006a}} and {{tlc|sfn|Smith|2006a}}), and add the disambiguation letter to the matching full citation, (e.g. <code><nowiki>{{cite book|...|last=Smith|date=2006b}}</nowiki></code>).
When {{tlc|sfn}} is used with {{tlx|citation}} or {{cs1}} templates, a year-suffix letter may be added to {{para|date}} for all accepted date formats except year-initial numeric ({{small|YYYY-MM-DD}}). It is not necessary to include both {{para|date}} and {{para|year}} (see exception [[#NB_YEAR|below]]). If both are included, {{para|year}} is used for the <code>CITEREF</code> anchor to be compliant with legacy citations.
:{{para|date|2013a}}: simple year only dates
:{{para|date|Jan 2013b}} or {{para|date|Winter 2013b}}: month or season and year dates
:{{para|date|9 November 2013b}} or {{para|date|November 9, 2013b}}: full dates
:{{para|date|June–July 2013c}} or {{para|date|Winter–Spring 2013c}}: month or season ranges and year dates
:{{para|date|c. 2013d}}: circa year dates
:{{para|date|{{#time:Y}}–{{#time:Y|now +1 year}}e}} or {{para|date|Summer {{#time:Y}}–{{#time:y|now +1 year}}e}}: year ranges
:{{para|date|n.d.f}}: no date (n.d.)
:{{anchor|NB_YEAR}}<s>{{para|date|2013g-11-09}}</s>: not supported, the template must use {{para|year|2013g}}. If month and day should be part of the citation as well, both parameters need to be given: {{para|date|2013-11-09}} {{para|year|2013x}}. In this case, {{para|date}} is used for citation display and metadata purposes, and {{para|year}} for link disambiguation.

===Two sources with same last names and years ===
An article might cite works from the same year by two different authors with the same last name. For example, an article might cite psychoanalysts [[Anna Freud]] and [[Sigmund Freud]], who both wrote books in the same year.
There are two solutions: it's possible to use the same technique described in the previous section. To differentiate between the two books, the first one can be given the year "1928a" and the second one "1928b".
Or, you can create a [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]] that adds an initial to the name fields, e.g. "A. Freud" and "S. Freud". The links will no longer conflict.
{{markup

===Citation template has no year but has a date===
Either the {{para|date}} or {{para|year}} of a citation template can be matched—the template logic can extract the year from a full date. If the date parameter is not a full date, then the extraction will fail. If the link does not seem to work, it also possible to set both {{para|date}} and {{para|year}} parameters. The template will display the date and use the year for the anchor. These two examples show a year being successfully extracted from full date.

===Citation template has no date===
If the cited source does not have a date, you can use {{para|date|n.d.}} for the full citation and "n.d." in place of the date for the short citation:
{{markup
|<nowiki>This is a fact.{{sfn|Smith|n.d.}}
==Notes==
{{reflist}}
==References==
* {{Citation |last=Smith |title=Title |date=n.d. |publisher=Publisher |mode=cs1}}</nowiki>

{{fake heading|sub=3|Notes}}
{{reflist}}
{{fake heading|sub=3|References}}
* {{Citation |last=Smith |title=Title |date=n.d. |publisher=Publisher |mode=cs1}}
}}
===Citation template has no author name===
Some sources do not have a single author with a last name, such as a magazine article or a report from a government institution. There is no consensus (in Wikipedia or among citation styles) about how to format author–date citations for works that do not have a specific author. Several choices are:
# The title of the article, or a shortened form of the title, is recommended by some style guides.
# For a newspaper or periodical, you may use the name of the paper and the date.
# For a publication by an institution, use either:
## The initials of the institution
## The name of the institution
# Other style guides recommend using "Anonymous" or "Anon."
An article should adopt one of these styles consistently.
Use a [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]] to replace set the author name to one of these other choices, as shown in these examples below.

=== Citation template has no author, date or title ===
If the cited source does not have a date, author, or title, place a description of the source within brackets for the {{para|title}} parameter, use {{para|date|n.d.}} and create [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]] with the description in the name position and "n.d." in the year.

{{See section|Wikipedia:Citation templates and reference anchors|Citation templates that create anchors}}
Some templates, such as {{tl|cite comic}}, {{tl|cite thesis}} and {{tl|cite map}} use the parameter {{para|ref}} to create an anchor for the short citation. This can be used to set a [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]] for {{tl|sfn}}

You could also use CITEREF directly with a concatenation of <code>#CITEREF</code> plus the parameters passed to the Harvard citation template.
===Citation template does not support any kind of anchor===
{{See section|Wikipedia:Citation templates and reference anchors|Citation templates that create anchors}}
There are a few templates that do not support any kind of anchor, including {{tl|cite report}}, {{tl|cite music release notes}}, {{tl|cite DVD-notes}}, {{tl|cite episode}} and others.
It is possible to use {{tl|wikicite}} to create an anchor. It has a {{para|ref}} parameter which can be set to a [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]]. In this example, the publisher is considered the editor.

===No citation template ===
If the citation is handwritten you should consider the citation format of the article. If citation templates are used often in this article, then check [[WP:Citation templates]] and try to find one that works for this source. If no template can be found, then this may be a source which can't be represented in our citation templates.
Use {{tl2|wikicite}} to make an anchor, setting Wikicite's {{para|ref}} to a [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]].

== Techniques and variations ==
{{anchor|Additional comments or quotes}}
=== Adding additional comments or quotes ===
The templates {{tl2|harvnb}} or {{tl2|harvtxt}} can be used to add quotes or additional comments into the footnote, in the form of in-text attributions.
{{markup
|<nowiki>
Some information.<ref>{{harvnb|Smith|2011|p=2}}: "A quote verifying the information."</ref>
== Notes ==

{{Fake heading|sub=3|Notes}}
{{reflist}}
}}
===Adding a URL for the page or location===
If a specific link to the page or section is available, a [[Uniform Resource Locator|URL]] can be added to the location or page number.
{{markup
|<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">Article text.{{sfn|Smith|2011|p=[https://en.wikipedia.org 3]}}
Other article text.{{sfn|Smith|2011|loc=[https://en.wikipedia.org §7]}}

{{reflist}}
==References==
* {{cite book | last = Smith | date = 2011 | title = Smith's

|* {{cite book | last = Smith | date = 2011 | title = Smith's book }}
}}}}
(See [[#url weirdness|below]] for a potential issue with this technique.)
===Citations inside explanatory footnotes===
Sometimes an explanatory footnote requires a citation. There are several acceptable solutions.
It is currently disputed (June 2026) whether parenthetical referencing (or narrative referencing, i.e. in-text attribution serving as referencing) is deprecated inside {{tag|ref}} tags used for explanatory footnotes.
Citations using {{tl1|sfn}} can't be directly embedded between {{tag|ref}} tags, because the following message will be produced: {{small|{{error|Cite error references missing group||nocat=true}}}}. But {{tl1|sfn}} can be used with templates {{tl1|efn}} and {{tl1|notelist}}, which separates the explanatory footnotes from the short citations, as shown in this example. (See also [[Chinese Room]], which is an article that makes extensive use of this technique.)

===Multiple lists of inline citations===
Sometimes there is a need to create two or more separate lists of inline footnotes. For example some family trees are contained in templates, they are transluded into several biographies, and they have their own self contained citations (see [[Template:Houston family tree]] and the article [[Margaret Lea Houston]]).
To facilitate this, while the main page uses the standard 1,2,3 footnote counting, it is common for family trees to use the efn template with a group parameter set—for example {{tlx|efn-lg}} (lower-greek). The efn templates are text templates, to link some or all of the content of the efn template to a long citation template such as {{tlx|cite book}} place {{tlx|harvnb}} or {{tlx|harv}} within the efn template.

{{anchor|Ps problems}}
== Other parameters ==
These parameters were designed to handle special cases that are better handled by other techniques.
===Parameter {{para|ps}}===
These templates have a parameter {{para|ps}}, designed to hold quotes and explanations.
Two or more {{tlc|sfn}} templates with the same authors, same year, and same page, but different {{para|ps}} will result in a {{small|{{error|Cite error: The named reference ... was defined multiple times with different content}}}} message. This message happens because the reference names that {{tlc|sfn}} creates will be the same, but the content between the {{tag|ref|params=name="FOOTNOTE..."|o}} tag and the {{tag|ref|c}} tag will be different.
A workaround is to convert the offending {{tlc|sfn}} templates to {{tlx|harvnb}} wrapped in {{tag|ref}} tags, as recommended in [[#Additional comments or quotes|§ Adding additional comments or quotes]]. This method is more versatile and robust.
Template {{para|ps}} also has a second (rare) use, when setting {{para|ps|none}}, which suppressed the final period. See [[#Variations in the format of the author-date citation|§ Variations in the format of the author-date citation]].
===Parameter {{para|ref}}===
The optional parameter {{para|ref}} was used to create an unusually named link from the short citation to the full citation. This typically would require setting the hand coded link on the full citation as well. It's easier to only set the link of the full citation to {{para|ref|{{tl2|sfnref}}}}.
If you specify {{para|ref|none}}, no hyperlink is created. However, if one does not want the link, it is always possible to simply use plain text instead of the template.
The parameter only appears in <nowiki>{{harv*}}</nowiki> templates, and may still appear in a few articles.
==Open problems==
===Link works but displays a no target error===
When a short-cite template links to a full citation that is rendered by a template that wraps a CS1 template, like {{txl|cite DNB}} (which wraps {{txl|cite encyclopedia}}), a {{error-small|no target}} error may be displayed even when the short-cite template is valid and the link works. That is a "false positive" error. The error message can be suppressed by adding {{para|ignore-err|yes}} to the template, or by adding the template {{t|Sfn whitelist}} with the anchor ID(s) to the article. If you are testing changes in [[Special:ExpandTemplates]] and the error message cannot be suppressed, try testing in a sandbox or user subpage instead.
==={{ucfirst:sfn}} embedded in list-defined ref does not work===
If you [[Help:Footnotes#embedding references|embed]] an {{ucfirst:sfn}} 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}}.
==Implementation notes==
These templates use two elements: a [[wikilink]] in the body of the article, and an [[WP:ANCHOR DEF|anchor]] in the reference section of the article. Clicking on the wikilink repositions the page at the anchor.
===Citation template [[HTML element#Links and anchors|anchor]]===
{{See also|Wikipedia:Citation templates and reference anchors}}
The most common citation templates are {{cs1}} or {{cs2}}. By default, [[Module:Citation/CS1]] creates an [[HTML element#Links and anchors|anchor]] {{tag|a|o|params=name="CITEREF"}} followed by the concatenation of the following parameters:
* '''last''' or '''last1''' or '''surname''' or '''surname1''' or '''author-last''' or '''author-last1''' or '''author1-last''' or '''author-surname''' or '''author-surname1''' or '''author1-surname''' or '''author''' or '''author1''' or '''authors''',
* '''last2''' or '''surname2''' or '''author-last2''' or '''author2-last''' or '''author-surname2''' or '''author2-surname''' or '''author2''',
* '''last3''' or '''surname3''' or '''author-last3''' or '''author3-last''' or '''author-surname3''' or '''author3-surname''' or '''author3''',
* '''last4''' or '''surname4''' or '''author-last4''' or '''author4-last''' or '''author-surname4''' or '''author4-surname''' or '''author4''',
* '''editor-last''' or '''editor-last1''' or '''editor1-last''' or '''editor-surname''' or '''editor-surname1''' or '''editor1-surname''' or '''editor1''' or '''editor''',
* '''editor-last2''' or '''editor2-last''' or '''editor-surname2''' or '''editor2-surname''' or '''editor2''',
* '''editor-last3''' or '''editor3-last''' or '''editor-surname3''' or '''editor3-surname''' or '''editor3''',
* '''editor-last4''' or '''editor4-last''' or '''editor-surname4''' or '''editor4-surname''' or '''editor4''',
* '''date''', '''year'''
This covers the most common templates. Information about all of the templates is available at [[Wikipedia:Citation templates and reference anchors]].
Use of the '''date''' parameter in place of the '''year''' parameter in citation templates is preferred.
===Harvard citation wikilink===
The Harvard citation templates create a [[wikilink]] to the anchor. For example {{tlx|Harv|Smith|2006|4=p=25}} produces the link {{code|#CITEREFSmith2006}} and {{tlx|Citation|2=last=Smith|3=first=John|4=date=27 January 2006|5=title=My Life}} produces the anchor {{code|CITEREFSmith2006}}.
===Using CITEREF directly===
{{Shortcut|WP:CITEREF}}
A few articles create a custom ID using {{code|CITEREF}}, either in place of the Harvard citation template (e.g. <code><nowiki>[[#CITEREFSmith2006|(2006)]]</nowiki></code>) or as a value for {{para|ref}} in the citation template.
{{Refname rules|A custom ID must follow these rules:|
* If CITEREF is used, then spaces in the {{para|ref}} field must be replaced with underscores}}
Examples:
* {{tlx|sfn|{{var|cite name}}|{{var|year}}}}
* {{tlx|cite book|2=ref=CITEREF{{var|cite_nameyear}}}}
* {{tlx|cite book|2=ref={{tl|sfnref|{{var|cite_name}}|{{var|year}}}}}}
Where {{var|cite_name}} is a name such as the publisher.
To avoid the sometimes difficult to remember syntax for links to CITEREF anchors, {{tl|citeref}} can be used to create internal wikilinks with either small superscript-style labels (like this<sup>[n]</sup>) or plain free-text labels to such anchors. It can be used inside of other citations.
Note that the {{code|CITEREF}} prefix is necessary for the [[mw:Reference Tooltips|reference tooltips gadget]] ([[MediaWiki:Gadget-ReferenceTooltips.js]]) to detect that a link goes to a citation.
===[[Template:sfn|<code><nowiki>{{sfn}}</nowiki></code>]]'s [[WP:REFNAME|ref name]]===
Template {{tl2|sfn}} creates a [[WP:REFNAME|named footnote]], so that identical footnotes are combined automatically. The footnote name begins with {{code|FOOTNOTE}} followed by a concatenation of the arguments to {{tl2|sfn}}. E.g.: this template call {{tlx|sfn|Smith|2006|4=p=26}} should have exactly the same functionality as {{tag|ref|params=name="FOOTNOTESmith200626"|content={{tl|Harvnb|Smith|2006|4=p=26}}.}} which, in turn, has the same functionality as {{tag|ref|params=name="FOOTNOTESmith200626"|content=<nowiki>[[#CITEREFSmith2006|Smith (2006)]], p.&nbsp;26.</nowiki>}}.
{{anchor|url weirdness}}
The ref name becomes more complicated when the page (p) parameter includes a URL, e.g. {{tlg|sfn|Joyce|1903|p{{=}}[https://archive.org/details/aconcisehistory00joycgoog/page/n226 213]|code=on}}, which, once defined, can be called by {{tag|ref|empty|params=name="FOOTNOTEJoyce1903[httpsarchiveorgdetailsaconcisehistory00joycgoogpagen226 213]"}}. The "p=" and the characters |,:,.,/,?,=; are therefore stripped out of the URL. The content of the loc parameter is similarly appended after this.
The call to {{tl2|harvnb}} has been [[subst]]'ed for quicker load times.

{{Lua|Module:Footnotes|Module:Check for unknown parameters}}
The '''shortened footnote template''' {{tl|sfn}} creates a short [[WP:Citing sources#Short citations|author–date citation]] in a [[Wikipedia:Citing sources|footnote]], with a one-directional link to the first matching [[Wikipedia:Citation templates|citation template]] on the same page. It will combine identical footnotes automatically.
It is used to create {{sfnote|lc=y}}, a [[WP:CITESTYLE|citation style]] which pairs a short, author-date citation in a footnote with a [[WP:HOWCITE|complete citation]] in the references section at the end of the article (see example [[#Example|below]]). This citation style is used to simplify multiple citations to the same source and to reduce clutter in the edit window.
Common problems and known workarounds are given in the sections below. Use the table of contents to find what you need.
Note that the use (or even non-use) of these templates is an element of citation "style", and adding or removing them in articles with an established style should be consistent with that style. See [[WP:CITEVAR]].
==Usage==
'''Sfn''' generates an "author-date" style short-cite from the following parameters:
<div style="margin-left: 2em"><code>{{<nowiki>sfn</nowiki>| <{{var|last1}}*> | <{{var|last2}}> | <{{var|last3}}> | <{{var|last4}}> | <{{var|year}}*> | p= <{{var|page}}> | loc= <{{var|location}}> }}</code></div>
with
* <{{var|last1}}> – required; surname of first author or corporate author
* <{{var|last2}}>–<{{var|last4}}> – positional parameters; surnames of next three authors; required if available in the full citation
* <{{var|year}}> – required; four-digit year; may have a lowercase disambiguation letter, like {{pval|2012a}}
* {{para|p}} – specific page referenced in the source (alias: {{para|page}}{{hairspace}})
* {{para|pp}} – comma-separated list of [[Template:Csdoc#pages|individual pages and / or range(s) of pages]] referenced in the source (alias: {{para|pages}}{{hairspace}})
* {{para|loc}} – in-source location when {{para|p}} and {{para|pp}} are inappropriate; may be used to supplement {{para|p}} and {{para|pp}}; information such as a section or figure number. (alias: {{para|at}}{{hairspace}})
=== Example ===
Typical usage is shown in the example below. The text and the footnote are connected by a bi-directional link – clicking on the superscript takes the reader to the footnote, clicking on the footnote number takes them back to the superscript. The clicking on the short citation takes them to the full citation in the references section.
'''Sfn''' will also automatically combine identical footnotes.

Template '''sfn''' is not placed inside {{tag|ref}} tags and generates the footnote internally. (To place '''sfn''' in a footnote, see [[#A citation inside an explanatory footnote|putting a citation inside a footnote]], below.)
===Parameters===
====Author(s) and year====
The first four author surnames (or all authors if fewer than four; use the values from {{para|last''N''}} or {{para|author''N''}}{{hairspace}}) are required, followed by the year of publication (from {{para|year}} or {{para|date}}). Authors past the fourth must be omitted or an error will result.
The [[#Possible issues with author-date link|possible issues]] section below describes workarounds for various common problems, such as [[#Large number of authors|large number of authors]], [[#No author name in citation template|no author name]], [[#More than one work in a year|multiple works in the same year]], [[#Two sources with same last names and years|Two sources with same last names and years]] and others.

==Possible issues with author-date link==
{{for|information on how to turn on error messages for broken links|:Category:Harv and Sfn template errors}}
These are techniques that address various unusual difficulties with the link between the short citation and the full citation.
Templates that have broken [[wikilink]]s using these templates are added to the category {{cat|All articles with broken links to citations}}.
===Wikilink to citation does not work===
If an article is using this template and nothing happens when you click on the highlighted [[wikilink]] from the [[WP:SHORTCITE|short citation]] to the [[WP:SHORTCITE|full citation]] at the bottom of the page, there are several possible solutions. If:
# Templates like this one are rarely used in this article. '''Solution''': Remove this template and format the citation in the style used most often in the article.
# The correct full citation does ''not'' appear at the bottom of the article. '''Solution''': Find the source (it may be copied from an article on a similar subject), and check that it verifies the text. If the source can't be found, replace this template with {{tl2|citation not found}}.
# The correct full citation appears at the bottom of the article, and
## The full citation uses a template from the list at [[Help:Citation Style 1|Citation Style 1]]:
### The citation template has only {{para|author}} and this template uses the last name. '''Solution''': Either (a) split the author name in to {{para|last}} and {{para|first}} in the full citation or (b) use the full name in the short citation. Be careful in either case to be consistent with the other citations in the article.
### The name in the short citation is spelled or capitalized differently than in the full citation. '''Solution''': Check the source for the correct spelling, and use the same spelling, spacing, and capitalization in both the short and full citations.
### There is more than one full citation with the same last name and year. '''Solution''': See [[#More than one work in a year|§More than one work in a year]] or [[#Two sources with same last names and years|§Two sources with same last names and years]].
### The year is different here than the full citation. '''Solution''': Check the source for the correct year, and use the same year in both the short and full citations.
### The template has a {{para|date}} field and no {{para|year}} field, but the format of the {{para|date}} field is unusual. '''Solution''': Try to fix the date. If the link still does not work, add {{para|year}} to the citation template. (It's okay if it has both.)
### The template does not have a year, or the date is set to "n.d." (no date). '''Solution''': Set the year field of this template to "n.d.".
### The template does not have an author's or an editor's, last name (authors take precedence over editors). '''Solution''': See [[#Citation template has no author name|§Citation template has no author name]], below.
### The template has no author, date or title. '''Solution''': See [[#Citation template has no author, date or title|§Citation template has no author, date or title]]
##Find the citation template in [[Wikipedia:Citation templates and reference anchors#Citation templates that create anchors|WP:Citation templates and anchors]] and find out if it has support for an anchor.
### The citation template doesn't automatically create the anchor, but has {{para|ref}}. '''Solution''': See [[#Citation template doesn't create a compatible anchor but has %7Cref=|§Citation template doesn't create a compatible anchor but has {{para|ref}}]], below.
### The citation template doesn't support anchors at all. '''Solution''': See [[#Citation template does not support any kind of anchor|§Citation format does not support any kind of anchor]], below.
##The full citation is handwritten.
### There are no other citation templates in the article. This is probably because local editors prefer it that way. '''Solution''': You should adapt to the style of the article. This would probably entail removing this template and formatting the short citation in plain text or replacing it with a full citation in {{tag|ref}} tags.
### There are citation templates used liberally throughout the article. '''Solution''': Reformat the source with the appropriate {{cite *}} template (and set the {{para|ref}} appropriately, if necessary).
### No appropriate template can be found. '''Solution''': See [[#No citation template|§No citation template]], below.
===Custom anchors===
A custom anchor using {{tl|sfnref}} can, at least temporarily, always make the shortened footnote look exactly the way you would like and still have a link that works. Many of the problems and workarounds below require a custom anchor.
All CS1 citation templates and several other templates allow you to set a custom anchor with parameter {{para|ref}}. The template {{tl|sfnRef}} creates an anchor that will match {{tl|sfn}}'s if it has the same parameters as {{tl|sfn}}. To use this technique, choose the name and year you would like to appear in {{tl|sfn}}, copy these parameters into {{tl|sfnRef}} and set {{tl|ref}} to the {{tl|sfnRef}}.
In other words, if you want this:
* {{tl2|sfn|<*''name you want''>|<''year''>|<''page / location''>}}
then set this:
* {{para|ref|{{tl2|sfnRef|<''name you want''>|<''year''>}}}}
in the template, and the link should work correctly.
The parameters must be <em>identical</em> in every respect. If the year is unusual (i.e. not a number), then include the year in the name and don't use the year position.
===Large number of authors===
If there are more than four authors, the first four authors' surnames (the value in {{para|last}} or {{para|author}}) are required by the template. Listing more authors is not supported. It is also possible to use a [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]] that sets the name field to "Smith et. al.".

}}}}
===More than one work in a year===
Where there is a need to cite more than one work ''by the same author published in the same year'', the standard way to disambiguate such works is to add a letter suffix after the year, e.g. "Smith 2006a" and "Smith 2006b".
Set the year element of the {{tlc|sfn}} templates (e.g. {{tlc|sfn|Smith|2006a}} and {{tlc|sfn|Smith|2006a}}), and add the disambiguation letter to the matching full citation, (e.g. <code><nowiki>{{cite book|...|last=Smith|date=2006b}}</nowiki></code>).
When {{tlc|sfn}} is used with {{tlx|citation}} or {{cs1}} templates, a year-suffix letter may be added to {{para|date}} for all accepted date formats except year-initial numeric ({{small|YYYY-MM-DD}}). It is not necessary to include both {{para|date}} and {{para|year}} (see exception [[#NB_YEAR|below]]). If both are included, {{para|year}} is used for the <code>CITEREF</code> anchor to be compliant with legacy citations.
:{{para|date|2013a}}: simple year only dates
:{{para|date|Jan 2013b}} or {{para|date|Winter 2013b}}: month or season and year dates
:{{para|date|9 November 2013b}} or {{para|date|November 9, 2013b}}: full dates
:{{para|date|June–July 2013c}} or {{para|date|Winter–Spring 2013c}}: month or season ranges and year dates
:{{para|date|c. 2013d}}: circa year dates
:{{para|date|{{#time:Y}}–{{#time:Y|now +1 year}}e}} or {{para|date|Summer {{#time:Y}}–{{#time:y|now +1 year}}e}}: year ranges
:{{para|date|n.d.f}}: no date (n.d.)
:{{anchor|NB_YEAR}}<s>{{para|date|2013g-11-09}}</s>: not supported, the template must use {{para|year|2013g}}. If month and day should be part of the citation as well, both parameters need to be given: {{para|date|2013-11-09}} {{para|year|2013x}}. In this case, {{para|date}} is used for citation display and metadata purposes, and {{para|year}} for link disambiguation.

===Two sources with same last names and years ===
An article might cite works from the same year by two different authors with the same last name. For example, an article might cite psychoanalysts [[Anna Freud]] and [[Sigmund Freud]], who both wrote books in the same year.
There are two solutions: it's possible to use the same technique described in the previous section. To differentiate between the two books, the first one can be given the year "1928a" and the second one "1928b".
Or, you can create a [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]] that adds an initial to the name fields, e.g. "A. Freud" and "S. Freud". The links will no longer conflict.

===Citation template has no year but has a date===
Either the {{para|date}} or {{para|year}} of a citation template can be matched—the template logic can extract the year from a full date. If the date parameter is not a full date, then the extraction will fail. If the link does not seem to work, it also possible to set both {{para|date}} and {{para|year}} parameters. The template will display the date and use the year for the anchor. These two examples show a year being successfully extracted from full date.

===Citation template has no date===
If the cited source does not have a date, you can use {{para|date|n.d.}} for the full citation and "n.d." in place of the date for the short citation:
{{markup
|<nowiki>This is a fact.{{sfn|Smith|n.d.}}
==Notes==
{{reflist}}
==References==
* {{Citation |last=Smith |title=Title |date=n.d. |publisher=Publisher |mode=cs1}}</nowiki>

{{fake heading|sub=3|Notes}}
{{reflist}}
{{fake heading|sub=3|References}}
* {{Citation |last=Smith |title=Title |date=n.d. |publisher=Publisher |mode=cs1}}
}}
===Citation template has no author name===
Some sources do not have a single author with a last name, such as a magazine article or a report from a government institution. There is no consensus (in Wikipedia or among citation styles) about how to format author–date citations for works that do not have a specific author. Several choices are:
# The title of the article, or a shortened form of the title, is recommended by some style guides.
# For a newspaper or periodical, you may use the name of the paper and the date.
# For a publication by an institution, use either:
## The initials of the institution
## The name of the institution
# Other style guides recommend using "Anonymous" or "Anon."
An article should adopt one of these styles consistently.
Use a [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]] to replace set the author name to one of these other choices, as shown in these examples below.

=== Citation template has no author, date or title ===
If the cited source does not have a date, author, or title, place a description of the source within brackets for the {{para|title}} parameter, use {{para|date|n.d.}} and create [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]] with the description in the name position and "n.d." in the year.

{{See section|Wikipedia:Citation templates and reference anchors|Citation templates that create anchors}}
Some templates, such as {{tl|cite comic}}, {{tl|cite thesis}} and {{tl|cite map}} use the parameter {{para|ref}} to create an anchor for the short citation. This can be used to set a [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]] for {{tl|sfn}}

You could also use CITEREF directly with a concatenation of <code>#CITEREF</code> plus the parameters passed to the Harvard citation template.
===Citation template does not support any kind of anchor===
{{See section|Wikipedia:Citation templates and reference anchors|Citation templates that create anchors}}
There are a few templates that do not support any kind of anchor, including {{tl|cite report}}, {{tl|cite music release notes}}, {{tl|cite DVD-notes}}, {{tl|cite episode}} and others.
It is possible to use {{tl|wikicite}} to create an anchor. It has a {{para|ref}} parameter which can be set to a [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]]. In this example, the publisher is considered the editor.

===No citation template ===
If the citation is handwritten you should consider the citation format of the article. If citation templates are used often in this article, then check [[WP:Citation templates]] and try to find one that works for this source. If no template can be found, then this may be a source which can't be represented in our citation templates.
Use {{tl2|wikicite}} to make an anchor, setting Wikicite's {{para|ref}} to a [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]].

== Techniques and variations ==
{{anchor|Additional comments or quotes}}
=== Adding additional comments or quotes ===
The templates {{tl2|harvnb}} or {{tl2|harvtxt}} can be used to add quotes or additional comments into the footnote, in the form of in-text attributions.
{{markup
|<nowiki>
Some information.<ref>{{harvnb|Smith|2011|p=2}}: "A quote verifying the information."</ref>
== Notes ==

{{Fake heading|sub=3|Notes}}
{{reflist}}
}}
===Adding a URL for the page or location===
If a specific link to the page or section is available, a [[Uniform Resource Locator|URL]] can be added to the location or page number.
{{markup
|<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">Article text.{{sfn|Smith|2011|p=[https://en.wikipedia.org 3]}}
Other article text.{{sfn|Smith|2011|loc=[https://en.wikipedia.org §7]}}

{{reflist}}
==References==
* {{cite book | last = Smith | date = 2011 | title = Smith's

|* {{cite book | last = Smith | date = 2011 | title = Smith's book }}
}}}}
(See [[#url weirdness|below]] for a potential issue with this technique.)
===Citations inside explanatory footnotes===
Sometimes an explanatory footnote requires a citation. There are several acceptable solutions.
It is currently disputed (June 2026) whether parenthetical referencing (or narrative referencing, i.e. in-text attribution serving as referencing) is deprecated inside {{tag|ref}} tags used for explanatory footnotes.
Citations using {{tl1|sfn}} can't be directly embedded between {{tag|ref}} tags, because the following message will be produced: {{small|{{error|Cite error references missing group||nocat=true}}}}. But {{tl1|sfn}} can be used with templates {{tl1|efn}} and {{tl1|notelist}}, which separates the explanatory footnotes from the short citations, as shown in this example. (See also [[Chinese Room]], which is an article that makes extensive use of this technique.)

===Multiple lists of inline citations===
Sometimes there is a need to create two or more separate lists of inline footnotes. For example some family trees are contained in templates, they are transluded into several biographies, and they have their own self contained citations (see [[Template:Houston family tree]] and the article [[Margaret Lea Houston]]).
To facilitate this, while the main page uses the standard 1,2,3 footnote counting, it is common for family trees to use the efn template with a group parameter set—for example {{tlx|efn-lg}} (lower-greek). The efn templates are text templates, to link some or all of the content of the efn template to a long citation template such as {{tlx|cite book}} place {{tlx|harvnb}} or {{tlx|harv}} within the efn template.

{{anchor|Ps problems}}
== Other parameters ==
These parameters were designed to handle special cases that are better handled by other techniques.
===Parameter {{para|ps}}===
These templates have a parameter {{para|ps}}, designed to hold quotes and explanations.
Two or more {{tlc|sfn}} templates with the same authors, same year, and same page, but different {{para|ps}} will result in a {{small|{{error|Cite error: The named reference ... was defined multiple times with different content}}}} message. This message happens because the reference names that {{tlc|sfn}} creates will be the same, but the content between the {{tag|ref|params=name="FOOTNOTE..."|o}} tag and the {{tag|ref|c}} tag will be different.
A workaround is to convert the offending {{tlc|sfn}} templates to {{tlx|harvnb}} wrapped in {{tag|ref}} tags, as recommended in [[#Additional comments or quotes|§ Adding additional comments or quotes]]. This method is more versatile and robust.
Template {{para|ps}} also has a second (rare) use, when setting {{para|ps|none}}, which suppressed the final period. See [[#Variations in the format of the author-date citation|§ Variations in the format of the author-date citation]].
===Parameter {{para|ref}}===
The optional parameter {{para|ref}} was used to create an unusually named link from the short citation to the full citation. This typically would require setting the hand coded link on the full citation as well. It's easier to only set the link of the full citation to {{para|ref|{{tl2|sfnref}}}}.
If you specify {{para|ref|none}}, no hyperlink is created. However, if one does not want the link, it is always possible to simply use plain text instead of the template.
The parameter only appears in <nowiki>{{harv*}}</nowiki> templates, and may still appear in a few articles.
==Open problems==
===Link works but displays a no target error===
When a short-cite template links to a full citation that is rendered by a template that wraps a CS1 template, like {{txl|cite DNB}} (which wraps {{txl|cite encyclopedia}}), a {{error-small|no target}} error may be displayed even when the short-cite template is valid and the link works. That is a "false positive" error. The error message can be suppressed by adding {{para|ignore-err|yes}} to the template, or by adding the template {{t|Sfn whitelist}} with the anchor ID(s) to the article. If you are testing changes in [[Special:ExpandTemplates]] and the error message cannot be suppressed, try testing in a sandbox or user subpage instead.
==={{ucfirst:sfn}} embedded in list-defined ref does not work===
If you [[Help:Footnotes#embedding references|embed]] an {{ucfirst:sfn}} 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}}.
==Implementation notes==
These templates use two elements: a [[wikilink]] in the body of the article, and an [[WP:ANCHOR DEF|anchor]] in the reference section of the article. Clicking on the wikilink repositions the page at the anchor.
===Citation template [[HTML element#Links and anchors|anchor]]===
{{See also|Wikipedia:Citation templates and reference anchors}}
The most common citation templates are {{cs1}} or {{cs2}}. By default, [[Module:Citation/CS1]] creates an [[HTML element#Links and anchors|anchor]] {{tag|a|o|params=name="CITEREF"}} followed by the concatenation of the following parameters:
* '''last''' or '''last1''' or '''surname''' or '''surname1''' or '''author-last''' or '''author-last1''' or '''author1-last''' or '''author-surname''' or '''author-surname1''' or '''author1-surname''' or '''author''' or '''author1''' or '''authors''',
* '''last2''' or '''surname2''' or '''author-last2''' or '''author2-last''' or '''author-surname2''' or '''author2-surname''' or '''author2''',
* '''last3''' or '''surname3''' or '''author-last3''' or '''author3-last''' or '''author-surname3''' or '''author3-surname''' or '''author3''',
* '''last4''' or '''surname4''' or '''author-last4''' or '''author4-last''' or '''author-surname4''' or '''author4-surname''' or '''author4''',
* '''editor-last''' or '''editor-last1''' or '''editor1-last''' or '''editor-surname''' or '''editor-surname1''' or '''editor1-surname''' or '''editor1''' or '''editor''',
* '''editor-last2''' or '''editor2-last''' or '''editor-surname2''' or '''editor2-surname''' or '''editor2''',
* '''editor-last3''' or '''editor3-last''' or '''editor-surname3''' or '''editor3-surname''' or '''editor3''',
* '''editor-last4''' or '''editor4-last''' or '''editor-surname4''' or '''editor4-surname''' or '''editor4''',
* '''date''', '''year'''
This covers the most common templates. Information about all of the templates is available at [[Wikipedia:Citation templates and reference anchors]].
Use of the '''date''' parameter in place of the '''year''' parameter in citation templates is preferred.
===Harvard citation wikilink===
The Harvard citation templates create a [[wikilink]] to the anchor. For example {{tlx|Harv|Smith|2006|4=p=25}} produces the link {{code|#CITEREFSmith2006}} and {{tlx|Citation|2=last=Smith|3=first=John|4=date=27 January 2006|5=title=My Life}} produces the anchor {{code|CITEREFSmith2006}}.
===Using CITEREF directly===
{{Shortcut|WP:CITEREF}}
A few articles create a custom ID using {{code|CITEREF}}, either in place of the Harvard citation template (e.g. <code><nowiki>[[#CITEREFSmith2006|(2006)]]</nowiki></code>) or as a value for {{para|ref}} in the citation template.
{{Refname rules|A custom ID must follow these rules:|
* If CITEREF is used, then spaces in the {{para|ref}} field must be replaced with underscores}}
Examples:
* {{tlx|sfn|{{var|cite name}}|{{var|year}}}}
* {{tlx|cite book|2=ref=CITEREF{{var|cite_nameyear}}}}
* {{tlx|cite book|2=ref={{tl|sfnref|{{var|cite_name}}|{{var|year}}}}}}
Where {{var|cite_name}} is a name such as the publisher.
To avoid the sometimes difficult to remember syntax for links to CITEREF anchors, {{tl|citeref}} can be used to create internal wikilinks with either small superscript-style labels (like this<sup>[n]</sup>) or plain free-text labels to such anchors. It can be used inside of other citations.
Note that the {{code|CITEREF}} prefix is necessary for the [[mw:Reference Tooltips|reference tooltips gadget]] ([[MediaWiki:Gadget-ReferenceTooltips.js]]) to detect that a link goes to a citation.
===[[Template:sfn|<code><nowiki>{{sfn}}</nowiki></code>]]'s [[WP:REFNAME|ref name]]===
Template {{tl2|sfn}} creates a [[WP:REFNAME|named footnote]], so that identical footnotes are combined automatically. The footnote name begins with {{code|FOOTNOTE}} followed by a concatenation of the arguments to {{tl2|sfn}}. E.g.: this template call:
* {{tlx|sfn|Smith|2006|4=p=26}}
should have exactly the same functionality as
* {{tag|ref|params=name="FOOTNOTESmith200626"|content={{tl2|Harvnb|Smith|2006|4=p=26}}.}}
which, in turn, has the same functionality as
* {{tag|ref|params=name="FOOTNOTESmith200626"|content=<nowiki>[[#CITEREFSmith2006|Smith (2006)]], p.&nbsp;26.</nowiki>}}.
{{anchor|url weirdness}}
The ref name becomes more complicated when the page (p) parameter includes a URL, e.g. {{tlg|sfn|Joyce|1903|p{{=}}[https://archive.org/details/aconcisehistory00joycgoog/page/n226 213]|code=on}}, which, once defined, can be called by {{tag|ref|empty|params=name="FOOTNOTEJoyce1903[httpsarchiveorgdetailsaconcisehistory00joycgoogpagen226 213]"}}. The "p=" and the characters |,:,.,/,?,=; are therefore stripped out of the URL. The content of the loc parameter is similarly appended after this.
The call to {{tl2|harvnb}} has been [[subst]]'ed for quicker load times.

{{Lua|Module:Footnotes|Module:Check for unknown parameters}}
The '''shortened footnote template''' {{tl|sfn}} creates a short [[WP:Citing sources#Short citations|author–date citation]] in a [[Wikipedia:Citing sources|footnote]], with a one-directional link to the first matching [[Wikipedia:Citation templates|citation template]] on the same page. It will combine identical footnotes automatically.
It is used to create {{sfnote|lc=y}}, a [[WP:CITESTYLE|citation style]] which pairs a short, author-date citation in a footnote with a [[WP:HOWCITE|complete citation]] in the references section at the end of the article (see example [[#Example|below]]). This citation style is used to simplify multiple citations to the same source and to reduce clutter in the edit window.
Common problems and known workarounds are given in the sections below. Use the table of contents to find what you need.
Note that the use (or even non-use) of these templates is an element of citation "style", and adding or removing them in articles with an established style should be consistent with that style. See [[WP:CITEVAR]].
==Usage==
'''Sfn''' generates an "author-date" style short-cite from the following parameters:
<div style="margin-left: 2em"><code>{{<nowiki>sfn</nowiki>| <{{var|last1}}*> | <{{var|last2}}> | <{{var|last3}}> | <{{var|last4}}> | <{{var|year}}*> | p= <{{var|page}}> | loc= <{{var|location}}> }}</code></div>
with
* <{{var|last1}}> – required; surname of first author or corporate author
* <{{var|last2}}>–<{{var|last4}}> – positional parameters; surnames of next three authors; required if available in the full citation
* <{{var|year}}> – required; four-digit year; may have a lowercase disambiguation letter, like {{pval|2012a}}
* {{para|p}} – specific page referenced in the source (alias: {{para|page}}{{hairspace}})
* {{para|pp}} – comma-separated list of [[Template:Csdoc#pages|individual pages and / or range(s) of pages]] referenced in the source (alias: {{para|pages}}{{hairspace}})
* {{para|loc}} – in-source location when {{para|p}} and {{para|pp}} are inappropriate; may be used to supplement {{para|p}} and {{para|pp}}; information such as a section or figure number. (alias: {{para|at}}{{hairspace}})
=== Example ===
Typical usage is shown in the example below. The text and the footnote are connected by a bi-directional link – clicking on the superscript takes the reader to the footnote, clicking on the footnote number takes them back to the superscript. The clicking on the short citation takes them to the full citation in the references section.
'''Sfn''' will also automatically combine identical footnotes.

Template '''sfn''' is not placed inside {{tag|ref}} tags and generates the footnote internally. (To place '''sfn''' in a footnote, see [[#A citation inside an explanatory footnote|putting a citation inside a footnote]], below.)
===Parameters===
====Author(s) and year====
The first four author surnames (or all authors if fewer than four; use the values from {{para|last''N''}} or {{para|author''N''}}{{hairspace}}) are required, followed by the year of publication (from {{para|year}} or {{para|date}}). Authors past the fourth must be omitted or an error will result.
The [[#Possible issues with author-date link|possible issues]] section below describes workarounds for various common problems, such as [[#Large number of authors|large number of authors]], [[#No author name in citation template|no author name]], [[#More than one work in a year|multiple works in the same year]], [[#Two sources with same last names and years|Two sources with same last names and years]] and others.

==Possible issues with author-date link==
{{for|information on how to turn on error messages for broken links|:Category:Harv and Sfn template errors}}
These are techniques that address various unusual difficulties with the link between the short citation and the full citation.
Templates that have broken [[wikilink]]s using these templates are added to the category {{cat|All articles with broken links to citations}}.
===Wikilink to citation does not work===
If an article is using this template and nothing happens when you click on the highlighted [[wikilink]] from the [[WP:SHORTCITE|short citation]] to the [[WP:SHORTCITE|full citation]] at the bottom of the page, there are several possible solutions. If:
# Templates like this one are rarely used in this article. '''Solution''': Remove this template and format the citation in the style used most often in the article.
# The correct full citation does ''not'' appear at the bottom of the article. '''Solution''': Find the source (it may be copied from an article on a similar subject), and check that it verifies the text. If the source can't be found, replace this template with {{tl2|citation not found}}.
# The correct full citation appears at the bottom of the article, and
## The full citation uses a template from the list at [[Help:Citation Style 1|Citation Style 1]]:
### The citation template has only {{para|author}} and this template uses the last name. '''Solution''': Either (a) split the author name in to {{para|last}} and {{para|first}} in the full citation or (b) use the full name in the short citation. Be careful in either case to be consistent with the other citations in the article.
### The name in the short citation is spelled or capitalized differently than in the full citation. '''Solution''': Check the source for the correct spelling, and use the same spelling, spacing, and capitalization in both the short and full citations.
### There is more than one full citation with the same last name and year. '''Solution''': See [[#More than one work in a year|§More than one work in a year]] or [[#Two sources with same last names and years|§Two sources with same last names and years]].
### The year is different here than the full citation. '''Solution''': Check the source for the correct year, and use the same year in both the short and full citations.
### The template has a {{para|date}} field and no {{para|year}} field, but the format of the {{para|date}} field is unusual. '''Solution''': Try to fix the date. If the link still does not work, add {{para|year}} to the citation template. (It's okay if it has both.)
### The template does not have a year, or the date is set to "n.d." (no date). '''Solution''': Set the year field of this template to "n.d.".
### The template does not have an author's or an editor's, last name (authors take precedence over editors). '''Solution''': See [[#Citation template has no author name|§Citation template has no author name]], below.
### The template has no author, date or title. '''Solution''': See [[#Citation template has no author, date or title|§Citation template has no author, date or title]]
##Find the citation template in [[Wikipedia:Citation templates and reference anchors#Citation templates that create anchors|WP:Citation templates and anchors]] and find out if it has support for an anchor.
### The citation template doesn't automatically create the anchor, but has {{para|ref}}. '''Solution''': See [[#Citation template doesn't create a compatible anchor but has %7Cref=|§Citation template doesn't create a compatible anchor but has {{para|ref}}]], below.
### The citation template doesn't support anchors at all. '''Solution''': See [[#Citation template does not support any kind of anchor|§Citation format does not support any kind of anchor]], below.
##The full citation is handwritten.
### There are no other citation templates in the article. This is probably because local editors prefer it that way. '''Solution''': You should adapt to the style of the article. This would probably entail removing this template and formatting the short citation in plain text or replacing it with a full citation in {{tag|ref}} tags.
### There are citation templates used liberally throughout the article. '''Solution''': Reformat the source with the appropriate {{cite *}} template (and set the {{para|ref}} appropriately, if necessary).
### No appropriate template can be found. '''Solution''': See [[#No citation template|§No citation template]], below.
===Custom anchors===
A custom anchor using {{tl|sfnref}} can, at least temporarily, always make the shortened footnote look exactly the way you would like and still have a link that works. Many of the problems and workarounds below require a custom anchor.
All CS1 citation templates and several other templates allow you to set a custom anchor with parameter {{para|ref}}. The template {{tl|sfnRef}} creates an anchor that will match {{tl|sfn}}'s if it has the same parameters as {{tl|sfn}}. To use this technique, choose the name and year you would like to appear in {{tl|sfn}}, copy these parameters into {{tl|sfnRef}} and set {{tl|ref}} to the {{tl|sfnRef}}.
In other words, if you want this:
* {{tl2|sfn|<*''name you want''>|<''year''>|<''page / location''>}}
then set this:
* {{para|ref|{{tl2|sfnRef|<''name you want''>|<''year''>}}}}
in the template, and the link should work correctly.
The parameters must be <em>identical</em> in every respect. If the year is unusual (i.e. not a number), then include the year in the name and don't use the year position.
===Large number of authors===
If there are more than four authors, the first four authors' surnames (the value in {{para|last}} or {{para|author}}) are required by the template. Listing more authors is not supported. It is also possible to use a [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]] that sets the name field to "Smith et. al.".

}}}}
===More than one work in a year===
Where there is a need to cite more than one work ''by the same author published in the same year'', the standard way to disambiguate such works is to add a letter suffix after the year, e.g. "Smith 2006a" and "Smith 2006b".
Set the year element of the {{tlc|sfn}} templates (e.g. {{tlc|sfn|Smith|2006a}} and {{tlc|sfn|Smith|2006a}}), and add the disambiguation letter to the matching full citation, (e.g. <code><nowiki>{{cite book|...|last=Smith|date=2006b}}</nowiki></code>).
When {{tlc|sfn}} is used with {{tlx|citation}} or {{cs1}} templates, a year-suffix letter may be added to {{para|date}} for all accepted date formats except year-initial numeric ({{small|YYYY-MM-DD}}). It is not necessary to include both {{para|date}} and {{para|year}} (see exception [[#NB_YEAR|below]]). If both are included, {{para|year}} is used for the <code>CITEREF</code> anchor to be compliant with legacy citations.
:{{para|date|2013a}}: simple year only dates
:{{para|date|Jan 2013b}} or {{para|date|Winter 2013b}}: month or season and year dates
:{{para|date|9 November 2013b}} or {{para|date|November 9, 2013b}}: full dates
:{{para|date|June–July 2013c}} or {{para|date|Winter–Spring 2013c}}: month or season ranges and year dates
:{{para|date|c. 2013d}}: circa year dates
:{{para|date|{{#time:Y}}–{{#time:Y|now +1 year}}e}} or {{para|date|Summer {{#time:Y}}–{{#time:y|now +1 year}}e}}: year ranges
:{{para|date|n.d.f}}: no date (n.d.)
:{{anchor|NB_YEAR}}<s>{{para|date|2013g-11-09}}</s>: not supported, the template must use {{para|year|2013g}}. If month and day should be part of the citation as well, both parameters need to be given: {{para|date|2013-11-09}} {{para|year|2013x}}. In this case, {{para|date}} is used for citation display and metadata purposes, and {{para|year}} for link disambiguation.

===Two sources with same last names and years ===
An article might cite works from the same year by two different authors with the same last name. For example, an article might cite psychoanalysts [[Anna Freud]] and [[Sigmund Freud]], who both wrote books in the same year.
There are two solutions: it's possible to use the same technique described in the previous section. To differentiate between the two books, the first one can be given the year "1928a" and the second one "1928b".
Or, you can create a [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]] that adds an initial to the name fields, e.g. "A. Freud" and "S. Freud". The links will no longer conflict.

===Citation template has no year but has a date===
Either the {{para|date}} or {{para|year}} of a citation template can be matched—the template logic can extract the year from a full date. If the date parameter is not a full date, then the extraction will fail. If the link does not seem to work, it also possible to set both {{para|date}} and {{para|year}} parameters. The template will display the date and use the year for the anchor. These two examples show a year being successfully extracted from full date.

===Citation template has no date===
If the cited source does not have a date, you can use {{para|date|n.d.}} for the full citation and "n.d." in place of the date for the short citation:
{{markup
|<nowiki>This is a fact.{{sfn|Smith|n.d.}}
==Notes==
{{reflist}}
==References==
* {{Citation |last=Smith |title=Title |date=n.d. |publisher=Publisher |mode=cs1}}</nowiki>

{{fake heading|sub=3|Notes}}
{{reflist}}
{{fake heading|sub=3|References}}
* {{Citation |last=Smith |title=Title |date=n.d. |publisher=Publisher |mode=cs1}}
}}
===Citation template has no author name===
Some sources do not have a single author with a last name, such as a magazine article or a report from a government institution. There is no consensus (in Wikipedia or among citation styles) about how to format author–date citations for works that do not have a specific author. Several choices are:
# The title of the article, or a shortened form of the title, is recommended by some style guides.
# For a newspaper or periodical, you may use the name of the paper and the date.
# For a publication by an institution, use either:
## The initials of the institution
## The name of the institution
# Other style guides recommend using "Anonymous" or "Anon."
An article should adopt one of these styles consistently.
Use a [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]] to replace set the author name to one of these other choices, as shown in these examples below.

=== Citation template has no author, date or title ===
If the cited source does not have a date, author, or title, place a description of the source within brackets for the {{para|title}} parameter, use {{para|date|n.d.}} and create [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]] with the description in the name position and "n.d." in the year.

{{See section|Wikipedia:Citation templates and reference anchors|Citation templates that create anchors}}
Some templates, such as {{tl|cite comic}}, {{tl|cite thesis}} and {{tl|cite map}} use the parameter {{para|ref}} to create an anchor for the short citation. This can be used to set a [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]] for {{tl|sfn}}

You could also use CITEREF directly with a concatenation of <code>#CITEREF</code> plus the parameters passed to the Harvard citation template.
===Citation template does not support any kind of anchor===
{{See section|Wikipedia:Citation templates and reference anchors|Citation templates that create anchors}}
There are a few templates that do not support any kind of anchor, including {{tl|cite report}}, {{tl|cite music release notes}}, {{tl|cite DVD-notes}}, {{tl|cite episode}} and others.
It is possible to use {{tl|wikicite}} to create an anchor. It has a {{para|ref}} parameter which can be set to a [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]]. In this example, the publisher is considered the editor.

===No citation template ===
If the citation is handwritten you should consider the citation format of the article. If citation templates are used often in this article, then check [[WP:Citation templates]] and try to find one that works for this source. If no template can be found, then this may be a source which can't be represented in our citation templates.
Use {{tl2|wikicite}} to make an anchor, setting Wikicite's {{para|ref}} to a [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]].

== Techniques and variations ==
{{anchor|Additional comments or quotes}}
=== Adding additional comments or quotes ===
The templates {{tl2|harvnb}} or {{tl2|harvtxt}} can be used to add quotes or additional comments into the footnote, in the form of in-text attributions.
{{markup
|<nowiki>
Some information.<ref>{{harvnb|Smith|2011|p=2}}: "A quote verifying the information."</ref>
== Notes ==

{{Fake heading|sub=3|Notes}}
{{reflist}}
}}
===Adding a URL for the page or location===
If a specific link to the page or section is available, a [[Uniform Resource Locator|URL]] can be added to the location or page number.
{{markup
|<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">Article text.{{sfn|Smith|2011|p=[https://en.wikipedia.org 3]}}
Other article text.{{sfn|Smith|2011|loc=[https://en.wikipedia.org §7]}}
==Notes==
{{reflist}}
==References==
* {{cite book | last = Smith | date = 2011 | title = Smith's

|* {{cite book | last = Smith | date = 2011 | title = Smith's book }}
}}}}
(See [[#url weirdness|below]] for a potential issue with this technique.)
===Citations inside explanatory footnotes===
Sometimes an explanatory footnote requires a citation. There are several acceptable solutions.
It is currently disputed (June 2026) whether parenthetical referencing (or narrative referencing, i.e. in-text attribution serving as referencing) is deprecated inside {{tag|ref}} tags used for explanatory footnotes.
Citations using {{tl1|sfn}} can't be directly embedded between {{tag|ref}} tags, because the following message will be produced: {{small|{{error|Cite error references missing group||nocat=true}}}}. But {{tl1|sfn}} can be used with templates {{tl1|efn}} and {{tl1|notelist}}, which separates the explanatory footnotes from the short citations, as shown in this example. (See also [[Chinese Room]], which is an article that makes extensive use of this technique.)

===Multiple lists of inline citations===
Sometimes there is a need to create two or more separate lists of inline footnotes. For example some family trees are contained in templates, they are transluded into several biographies, and they have their own self contained citations (see [[Template:Houston family tree]] and the article [[Margaret Lea Houston]]).
To facilitate this, while the main page uses the standard 1,2,3 footnote counting, it is common for family trees to use the efn template with a group parameter set—for example {{tlx|efn-lg}} (lower-greek). The efn templates are text templates, to link some or all of the content of the efn template to a long citation template such as {{tlx|cite book}} place {{tlx|harvnb}} or {{tlx|harv}} within the efn template.

{{anchor|Ps problems}}
== Other parameters ==
These parameters were designed to handle special cases that are better handled by other techniques.
===Parameter {{para|ps}}===
These templates have a parameter {{para|ps}}, designed to hold quotes and explanations.
Two or more {{tlc|sfn}} templates with the same authors, same year, and same page, but different {{para|ps}} will result in a {{small|{{error|Cite error: The named reference ... was defined multiple times with different content}}}} message. This message happens because the reference names that {{tlc|sfn}} creates will be the same, but the content between the {{tag|ref|params=name="FOOTNOTE..."|o}} tag and the {{tag|ref|c}} tag will be different.
A workaround is to convert the offending {{tlc|sfn}} templates to {{tlx|harvnb}} wrapped in {{tag|ref}} tags, as recommended in [[#Additional comments or quotes|§ Adding additional comments or quotes]]. This method is more versatile and robust.
Template {{para|ps}} also has a second (rare) use, when setting {{para|ps|none}}, which suppressed the final period. See [[#Variations in the format of the author-date citation|§ Variations in the format of the author-date citation]].
===Parameter {{para|ref}}===
The optional parameter {{para|ref}} was used to create an unusually named link from the short citation to the full citation. This typically would require setting the hand coded link on the full citation as well. It's easier to only set the link of the full citation to {{para|ref|{{tl2|sfnref}}}}.
If you specify {{para|ref|none}}, no hyperlink is created. However, if one does not want the link, it is always possible to simply use plain text instead of the template.
The parameter only appears in <nowiki>{{harv*}}</nowiki> templates, and may still appear in a few articles.
==Open problems==
===Link works but displays a no target error===
When a short-cite template links to a full citation that is rendered by a template that wraps a CS1 template, like {{txl|cite DNB}} (which wraps {{txl|cite encyclopedia}}), a {{error-small|no target}} error may be displayed even when the short-cite template is valid and the link works. That is a "false positive" error. The error message can be suppressed by adding {{para|ignore-err|yes}} to the template, or by adding the template {{t|Sfn whitelist}} with the anchor ID(s) to the article. If you are testing changes in [[Special:ExpandTemplates]] and the error message cannot be suppressed, try testing in a sandbox or user subpage instead.
==={{ucfirst:sfn}} embedded in list-defined ref does not work===
If you [[Help:Footnotes#embedding references|embed]] an {{ucfirst:sfn}} 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}}.
==Implementation notes==
These templates use two elements: a [[wikilink]] in the body of the article, and an [[WP:ANCHOR DEF|anchor]] in the reference section of the article. Clicking on the wikilink repositions the page at the anchor.
===Citation template [[HTML element#Links and anchors|anchor]]===
{{See also|Wikipedia:Citation templates and reference anchors}}
The most common citation templates are {{cs1}} or {{cs2}}. By default, [[Module:Citation/CS1]] creates an [[HTML element#Links and anchors|anchor]] {{tag|a|o|params=name="CITEREF"}} followed by the concatenation of the following parameters:
* '''last''' or '''last1''' or '''surname''' or '''surname1''' or '''author-last''' or '''author-last1''' or '''author1-last''' or '''author-surname''' or '''author-surname1''' or '''author1-surname''' or '''author''' or '''author1''' or '''authors''',
* '''last2''' or '''surname2''' or '''author-last2''' or '''author2-last''' or '''author-surname2''' or '''author2-surname''' or '''author2''',
* '''last3''' or '''surname3''' or '''author-last3''' or '''author3-last''' or '''author-surname3''' or '''author3-surname''' or '''author3''',
* '''last4''' or '''surname4''' or '''author-last4''' or '''author4-last''' or '''author-surname4''' or '''author4-surname''' or '''author4''',
* '''editor-last''' or '''editor-last1''' or '''editor1-last''' or '''editor-surname''' or '''editor-surname1''' or '''editor1-surname''' or '''editor1''' or '''editor''',
* '''editor-last2''' or '''editor2-last''' or '''editor-surname2''' or '''editor2-surname''' or '''editor2''',
* '''editor-last3''' or '''editor3-last''' or '''editor-surname3''' or '''editor3-surname''' or '''editor3''',
* '''editor-last4''' or '''editor4-last''' or '''editor-surname4''' or '''editor4-surname''' or '''editor4''',
* '''date''', '''year'''
This covers the most common templates. Information about all of the templates is available at [[Wikipedia:Citation templates and reference anchors]].
Use of the '''date''' parameter in place of the '''year''' parameter in citation templates is preferred.
===Harvard citation wikilink===
The Harvard citation templates create a [[wikilink]] to the anchor. For example {{tlx|Harv|Smith|2006|4=p=25}} produces the link {{code|#CITEREFSmith2006}} and {{tlx|Citation|2=last=Smith|3=first=John|4=date=27 January 2006|5=title=My Life}} produces the anchor {{code|CITEREFSmith2006}}.
===Using CITEREF directly===
{{Shortcut|WP:CITEREF}}
A few articles create a custom ID using {{code|CITEREF}}, either in place of the Harvard citation template (e.g. <code><nowiki>[[#CITEREFSmith2006|(2006)]]</nowiki></code>) or as a value for {{para|ref}} in the citation template.
{{Refname rules|A custom ID must follow these rules:|
* If CITEREF is used, then spaces in the {{para|ref}} field must be replaced with underscores}}
Examples:
* {{tlx|sfn|{{var|cite name}}|{{var|year}}}}
* {{tlx|cite book|2=ref=CITEREF{{var|cite_nameyear}}}}
* {{tlx|cite book|2=ref={{tl|sfnref|{{var|cite_name}}|{{var|year}}}}}}
Where {{var|cite_name}} is a name such as the publisher.
To avoid the sometimes difficult to remember syntax for links to CITEREF anchors, {{tl|citeref}} can be used to create internal wikilinks with either small superscript-style labels (like this<sup>[n]</sup>) or plain free-text labels to such anchors. It can be used inside of other citations.
Note that the {{code|CITEREF}} prefix is necessary for the [[mw:Reference Tooltips|reference tooltips gadget]] ([[MediaWiki:Gadget-ReferenceTooltips.js]]) to detect that a link goes to a citation.
===[[Template:sfn|<code><nowiki>{{sfn}}</nowiki></code>]]'s [[WP:REFNAME|ref name]]===
Template {{tl2|sfn}} creates a [[WP:REFNAME|named footnote]], so that identical footnotes are combined automatically. The footnote name begins with {{code|FOOTNOTE}} followed by a concatenation of the arguments to {{tl2|sfn}}. E.g.: this template call:
* {{tlx|sfn|Smith|2006|4=p=26}}
should have exactly the same functionality as
* {{tag|ref|params=name="FOOTNOTESmith200626"|content={{tl2|Harvnb|Smith|2006|4=p=26}}.}}
which, in turn, has the same functionality as
* {{tag|ref|params=name="FOOTNOTESmith200626"|content=<nowiki>[[#CITEREFSmith2006|Smith (2006)]], p.&nbsp;26.</nowiki>}}.
{{anchor|url weirdness}}
The ref name becomes more complicated when the page (p) parameter includes a URL, e.g. {{tlg|sfn|Joyce|1903|p{{=}}[https://archive.org/details/aconcisehistory00joycgoog/page/n226 213]|code=on}}, which, once defined, can be called by {{tag|ref|empty|params=name="FOOTNOTEJoyce1903[httpsarchiveorgdetailsaconcisehistory00joycgoogpagen226 213]"}}. The "p=" and the characters |,:,.,/,?,=; are therefore stripped out of the URL. The content of the loc parameter is similarly appended after this.
The call to {{tl2|harvnb}} has been [[subst]]'ed for quicker load times.

{{Lua|Module:Footnotes|Module:Check for unknown parameters}}
The '''shortened footnote template''' {{tl|sfn}} creates a short [[WP:Citing sources#Short citations|author–date citation]] in a [[Wikipedia:Citing sources|footnote]], with a one-directional link to the first matching [[Wikipedia:Citation templates|citation template]] on the same page. It will combine identical footnotes automatically.
It is used to create {{sfnote|lc=y}}, a [[WP:CITESTYLE|citation style]] which pairs a short, author-date citation in a footnote with a [[WP:HOWCITE|complete citation]] in the references section at the end of the article (see example [[#Example|below]]). This citation style is used to simplify multiple citations to the same source and to reduce clutter in the edit window.
Common problems and known workarounds are given in the sections below. Use the table of contents to find what you need.
Note that the use (or even non-use) of these templates is an element of citation "style", and adding or removing them in articles with an established style should be consistent with that style. See [[WP:CITEVAR]].
==Usage==
'''Sfn''' generates an "author-date" style short-cite from the following parameters:
<div style="margin-left: 2em"><code>{{<nowiki>sfn</nowiki>| <{{var|last1}}*> | <{{var|last2}}> | <{{var|last3}}> | <{{var|last4}}> | <{{var|year}}*> | p= <{{var|page}}> | loc= <{{var|location}}> }}</code></div>
with
* <{{var|last1}}> – required; surname of first author or corporate author
* <{{var|last2}}>–<{{var|last4}}> – positional parameters; surnames of next three authors; required if available in the full citation
* <{{var|year}}> – required; four-digit year; may have a lowercase disambiguation letter, like {{pval|2012a}}
* {{para|p}} – specific page referenced in the source (alias: {{para|page}}{{hairspace}})
* {{para|pp}} – comma-separated list of [[Template:Csdoc#pages|individual pages and / or range(s) of pages]] referenced in the source (alias: {{para|pages}}{{hairspace}})
* {{para|loc}} – in-source location when {{para|p}} and {{para|pp}} are inappropriate; may be used to supplement {{para|p}} and {{para|pp}}; information such as a section or figure number. (alias: {{para|at}}{{hairspace}})
=== Example ===
Typical usage is shown in the example below. The text and the footnote are connected by a bi-directional link – clicking on the superscript takes the reader to the footnote, clicking on the footnote number takes them back to the superscript. The clicking on the short citation takes them to the full citation in the references section.
'''Sfn''' will also automatically combine identical footnotes.

Template '''sfn''' is not placed inside {{tag|ref}} tags and generates the footnote internally. (To place '''sfn''' in a footnote, see [[#A citation inside an explanatory footnote|putting a citation inside a footnote]], below.)
===Parameters===
====Author(s) and year====
The first four author surnames (or all authors if fewer than four; use the values from {{para|last''N''}} or {{para|author''N''}}{{hairspace}}) are required, followed by the year of publication (from {{para|year}} or {{para|date}}). Authors past the fourth must be omitted or an error will result.
The [[#Possible issues with author-date link|possible issues]] section below describes workarounds for various common problems, such as [[#Large number of authors|large number of authors]], [[#No author name in citation template|no author name]], [[#More than one work in a year|multiple works in the same year]], [[#Two sources with same last names and years|Two sources with same last names and years]] and others.

Use {{para|p}} for single pages; use {{para|pp}} for multiple pages (such as ranges). Use of {{para|p}} for multiple pages or {{para|pp}} for single pages can cause [[Help:Cite errors/Cite error references duplicate key|cite errors]].
{{para|loc}} can be used to specify a location in the source in another way, such as section numbers or chapters. It can also be combined with {{para|p}} or {{para|pp}}.

==Possible issues with author-date link==
{{for|information on how to turn on error messages for broken links|:Category:Harv and Sfn template errors}}
These are techniques that address various unusual difficulties with the link between the short citation and the full citation.
Templates that have broken [[wikilink]]s using these templates are added to the category {{cat|All articles with broken links to citations}}.
===Wikilink to citation does not work===
If an article is using this template and nothing happens when you click on the highlighted [[wikilink]] from the [[WP:SHORTCITE|short citation]] to the [[WP:SHORTCITE|full citation]] at the bottom of the page, there are several possible solutions. If:
# Templates like this one are rarely used in this article. '''Solution''': Remove this template and format the citation in the style used most often in the article.
# The correct full citation does ''not'' appear at the bottom of the article. '''Solution''': Find the source (it may be copied from an article on a similar subject), and check that it verifies the text. If the source can't be found, replace this template with {{tl2|citation not found}}.
# The correct full citation appears at the bottom of the article, and
## The full citation uses a template from the list at [[Help:Citation Style 1|Citation Style 1]]:
### The citation template has only {{para|author}} and this template uses the last name. '''Solution''': Either (a) split the author name in to {{para|last}} and {{para|first}} in the full citation or (b) use the full name in the short citation. Be careful in either case to be consistent with the other citations in the article.
### The name in the short citation is spelled or capitalized differently than in the full citation. '''Solution''': Check the source for the correct spelling, and use the same spelling, spacing, and capitalization in both the short and full citations.
### There is more than one full citation with the same last name and year. '''Solution''': See [[#More than one work in a year|§More than one work in a year]] or [[#Two sources with same last names and years|§Two sources with same last names and years]].
### The year is different here than the full citation. '''Solution''': Check the source for the correct year, and use the same year in both the short and full citations.
### The template has a {{para|date}} field and no {{para|year}} field, but the format of the {{para|date}} field is unusual. '''Solution''': Try to fix the date. If the link still does not work, add {{para|year}} to the citation template. (It's okay if it has both.)
### The template does not have a year, or the date is set to "n.d." (no date). '''Solution''': Set the year field of this template to "n.d.".
### The template does not have an author's or an editor's, last name (authors take precedence over editors). '''Solution''': See [[#Citation template has no author name|§Citation template has no author name]], below.
### The template has no author, date or title. '''Solution''': See [[#Citation template has no author, date or title|§Citation template has no author, date or title]]
##Find the citation template in [[Wikipedia:Citation templates and reference anchors#Citation templates that create anchors|WP:Citation templates and anchors]] and find out if it has support for an anchor.
### The citation template doesn't automatically create the anchor, but has {{para|ref}}. '''Solution''': See [[#Citation template doesn't create a compatible anchor but has %7Cref=|§Citation template doesn't create a compatible anchor but has {{para|ref}}]], below.
### The citation template doesn't support anchors at all. '''Solution''': See [[#Citation template does not support any kind of anchor|§Citation format does not support any kind of anchor]], below.
##The full citation is handwritten.
### There are no other citation templates in the article. This is probably because local editors prefer it that way. '''Solution''': You should adapt to the style of the article. This would probably entail removing this template and formatting the short citation in plain text or replacing it with a full citation in {{tag|ref}} tags.
### There are citation templates used liberally throughout the article. '''Solution''': Reformat the source with the appropriate {{cite *}} template (and set the {{para|ref}} appropriately, if necessary).
### No appropriate template can be found. '''Solution''': See [[#No citation template|§No citation template]], below.
===Custom anchors===
A custom anchor using {{tl|sfnref}} can, at least temporarily, always make the shortened footnote look exactly the way you would like and still have a link that works. Many of the problems and workarounds below require a custom anchor.
All CS1 citation templates and several other templates allow you to set a custom anchor with parameter {{para|ref}}. The template {{tl|sfnRef}} creates an anchor that will match {{tl|sfn}}'s if it has the same parameters as {{tl|sfn}}. To use this technique, choose the name and year you would like to appear in {{tl|sfn}}, copy these parameters into {{tl|sfnRef}} and set {{tl|ref}} to the {{tl|sfnRef}}.
In other words, if you want this:
* {{tl2|sfn|<*''name you want''>|<''year''>|<''page / location''>}}
then set this:
* {{para|ref|{{tl2|sfnRef|<''name you want''>|<''year''>}}}}
in the template, and the link should work correctly.
The parameters must be <em>identical</em> in every respect. If the year is unusual (i.e. not a number), then include the year in the name and don't use the year position.
===Large number of authors===
If there are more than four authors, the first four authors' surnames (the value in {{para|last}} or {{para|author}}) are required by the template. Listing more authors is not supported. It is also possible to use a [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]] that sets the name field to "Smith et. al.".

}}}}
===More than one work in a year===
Where there is a need to cite more than one work ''by the same author published in the same year'', the standard way to disambiguate such works is to add a letter suffix after the year, e.g. "Smith 2006a" and "Smith 2006b".
Set the year element of the {{tlc|sfn}} templates (e.g. {{tlc|sfn|Smith|2006a}} and {{tlc|sfn|Smith|2006a}}), and add the disambiguation letter to the matching full citation, (e.g. <code><nowiki>{{cite book|...|last=Smith|date=2006b}}</nowiki></code>).
When {{tlc|sfn}} is used with {{tlx|citation}} or {{cs1}} templates, a year-suffix letter may be added to {{para|date}} for all accepted date formats except year-initial numeric ({{small|YYYY-MM-DD}}). It is not necessary to include both {{para|date}} and {{para|year}} (see exception [[#NB_YEAR|below]]). If both are included, {{para|year}} is used for the <code>CITEREF</code> anchor to be compliant with legacy citations.
:{{para|date|2013a}}: simple year only dates
:{{para|date|Jan 2013b}} or {{para|date|Winter 2013b}}: month or season and year dates
:{{para|date|9 November 2013b}} or {{para|date|November 9, 2013b}}: full dates
:{{para|date|June–July 2013c}} or {{para|date|Winter–Spring 2013c}}: month or season ranges and year dates
:{{para|date|c. 2013d}}: circa year dates
:{{para|date|{{#time:Y}}–{{#time:Y|now +1 year}}e}} or {{para|date|Summer {{#time:Y}}–{{#time:y|now +1 year}}e}}: year ranges
:{{para|date|n.d.f}}: no date (n.d.)
:{{anchor|NB_YEAR}}<s>{{para|date|2013g-11-09}}</s>: not supported, the template must use {{para|year|2013g}}. If month and day should be part of the citation as well, both parameters need to be given: {{para|date|2013-11-09}} {{para|year|2013x}}. In this case, {{para|date}} is used for citation display and metadata purposes, and {{para|year}} for link disambiguation.

===Two sources with same last names and years ===
An article might cite works from the same year by two different authors with the same last name. For example, an article might cite psychoanalysts [[Anna Freud]] and [[Sigmund Freud]], who both wrote books in the same year.
There are two solutions: it's possible to use the same technique described in the previous section. To differentiate between the two books, the first one can be given the year "1928a" and the second one "1928b".
Or, you can create a [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]] that adds an initial to the name fields, e.g. "A. Freud" and "S. Freud". The links will no longer conflict.

===Citation template has no year but has a date===
Either the {{para|date}} or {{para|year}} of a citation template can be matched—the template logic can extract the year from a full date. If the date parameter is not a full date, then the extraction will fail. If the link does not seem to work, it also possible to set both {{para|date}} and {{para|year}} parameters. The template will display the date and use the year for the anchor. These two examples show a year being successfully extracted from full date.

===Citation template has no date===
If the cited source does not have a date, you can use {{para|date|n.d.}} for the full citation and "n.d." in place of the date for the short citation:
{{markup
|<nowiki>This is a fact.{{sfn|Smith|n.d.}}
==Notes==
{{reflist}}
==References==
* {{Citation |last=Smith |title=Title |date=n.d. |publisher=Publisher |mode=cs1}}</nowiki>

{{fake heading|sub=3|Notes}}
{{reflist}}
{{fake heading|sub=3|References}}
* {{Citation |last=Smith |title=Title |date=n.d. |publisher=Publisher |mode=cs1}}
}}
===Citation template has no author name===
Some sources do not have a single author with a last name, such as a magazine article or a report from a government institution. There is no consensus (in Wikipedia or among citation styles) about how to format author–date citations for works that do not have a specific author. Several choices are:
# The title of the article, or a shortened form of the title, is recommended by some style guides.
# For a newspaper or periodical, you may use the name of the paper and the date.
# For a publication by an institution, use either:
## The initials of the institution
## The name of the institution
# Other style guides recommend using "Anonymous" or "Anon."
An article should adopt one of these styles consistently.
Use a [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]] to replace set the author name to one of these other choices, as shown in these examples below.

=== Citation template has no author, date or title ===
If the cited source does not have a date, author, or title, place a description of the source within brackets for the {{para|title}} parameter, use {{para|date|n.d.}} and create [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]] with the description in the name position and "n.d." in the year.

{{See section|Wikipedia:Citation templates and reference anchors|Citation templates that create anchors}}
Some templates, such as {{tl|cite comic}}, {{tl|cite thesis}} and {{tl|cite map}} use the parameter {{para|ref}} to create an anchor for the short citation. This can be used to set a [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]] for {{tl|sfn}}

You could also use CITEREF directly with a concatenation of <code>#CITEREF</code> plus the parameters passed to the Harvard citation template.
===Citation template does not support any kind of anchor===
{{See section|Wikipedia:Citation templates and reference anchors|Citation templates that create anchors}}
There are a few templates that do not support any kind of anchor, including {{tl|cite report}}, {{tl|cite music release notes}}, {{tl|cite DVD-notes}}, {{tl|cite episode}} and others.
It is possible to use {{tl|wikicite}} to create an anchor. It has a {{para|ref}} parameter which can be set to a [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]]. In this example, the publisher is considered the editor.

===No citation template ===
If the citation is handwritten you should consider the citation format of the article. If citation templates are used often in this article, then check [[WP:Citation templates]] and try to find one that works for this source. If no template can be found, then this may be a source which can't be represented in our citation templates.
Use {{tl2|wikicite}} to make an anchor, setting Wikicite's {{para|ref}} to a [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]].

== Techniques and variations ==
{{anchor|Additional comments or quotes}}
=== Adding additional comments or quotes ===
The templates {{tl2|harvnb}} or {{tl2|harvtxt}} can be used to add quotes or additional comments into the footnote, in the form of in-text attributions.
{{markup
|<nowiki>
Some information.<ref>{{harvnb|Smith|2011|p=2}}: "A quote verifying the information."</ref>
== Notes ==

{{Fake heading|sub=3|Notes}}
{{reflist}}
}}
===Adding a URL for the page or location===
If a specific link to the page or section is available, a [[Uniform Resource Locator|URL]] can be added to the location or page number.
{{markup
|<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">Article text.{{sfn|Smith|2011|p=[https://en.wikipedia.org 3]}}
Other article text.{{sfn|Smith|2011|loc=[https://en.wikipedia.org §7]}}
==Notes==
{{reflist}}
==References==
* {{cite book | last = Smith | date = 2011 | title = Smith's

|* {{cite book | last = Smith | date = 2011 | title = Smith's book }}
}}}}
(See [[#url weirdness|below]] for a potential issue with this technique.)
===Citations inside explanatory footnotes===
Sometimes an explanatory footnote requires a citation. There are several acceptable solutions.
It is currently disputed (June 2026) whether parenthetical referencing (or narrative referencing, i.e. in-text attribution serving as referencing) is deprecated inside {{tag|ref}} tags used for explanatory footnotes.
Citations using {{tl1|sfn}} can't be directly embedded between {{tag|ref}} tags, because the following message will be produced: {{small|{{error|Cite error references missing group||nocat=true}}}}. But {{tl1|sfn}} can be used with templates {{tl1|efn}} and {{tl1|notelist}}, which separates the explanatory footnotes from the short citations, as shown in this example. (See also [[Chinese Room]], which is an article that makes extensive use of this technique.)

===Multiple lists of inline citations===
Sometimes there is a need to create two or more separate lists of inline footnotes. For example some family trees are contained in templates, they are transluded into several biographies, and they have their own self contained citations (see [[Template:Houston family tree]] and the article [[Margaret Lea Houston]]).
To facilitate this, while the main page uses the standard 1,2,3 footnote counting, it is common for family trees to use the efn template with a group parameter set—for example {{tlx|efn-lg}} (lower-greek). The efn templates are text templates, to link some or all of the content of the efn template to a long citation template such as {{tlx|cite book}} place {{tlx|harvnb}} or {{tlx|harv}} within the efn template.

{{anchor|Ps problems}}
== Other parameters ==
These parameters were designed to handle special cases that are better handled by other techniques.
===Parameter {{para|ps}}===
These templates have a parameter {{para|ps}}, designed to hold quotes and explanations.
Two or more {{tlc|sfn}} templates with the same authors, same year, and same page, but different {{para|ps}} will result in a {{small|{{error|Cite error: The named reference ... was defined multiple times with different content}}}} message. This message happens because the reference names that {{tlc|sfn}} creates will be the same, but the content between the {{tag|ref|params=name="FOOTNOTE..."|o}} tag and the {{tag|ref|c}} tag will be different.
A workaround is to convert the offending {{tlc|sfn}} templates to {{tlx|harvnb}} wrapped in {{tag|ref}} tags, as recommended in [[#Additional comments or quotes|§ Adding additional comments or quotes]]. This method is more versatile and robust.
Template {{para|ps}} also has a second (rare) use, when setting {{para|ps|none}}, which suppressed the final period. See [[#Variations in the format of the author-date citation|§ Variations in the format of the author-date citation]].
===Parameter {{para|ref}}===
The optional parameter {{para|ref}} was used to create an unusually named link from the short citation to the full citation. This typically would require setting the hand coded link on the full citation as well. It's easier to only set the link of the full citation to {{para|ref|{{tl2|sfnref}}}}.
If you specify {{para|ref|none}}, no hyperlink is created. However, if one does not want the link, it is always possible to simply use plain text instead of the template.
The parameter only appears in <nowiki>{{harv*}}</nowiki> templates, and may still appear in a few articles.
==Open problems==
===Link works but displays a no target error===
When a short-cite template links to a full citation that is rendered by a template that wraps a CS1 template, like {{txl|cite DNB}} (which wraps {{txl|cite encyclopedia}}), a {{error-small|no target}} error may be displayed even when the short-cite template is valid and the link works. That is a "false positive" error. The error message can be suppressed by adding {{para|ignore-err|yes}} to the template, or by adding the template {{t|Sfn whitelist}} with the anchor ID(s) to the article. If you are testing changes in [[Special:ExpandTemplates]] and the error message cannot be suppressed, try testing in a sandbox or user subpage instead.
==={{ucfirst:sfn}} embedded in list-defined ref does not work===
If you [[Help:Footnotes#embedding references|embed]] an {{ucfirst:sfn}} 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}}.
==Implementation notes==
These templates use two elements: a [[wikilink]] in the body of the article, and an [[WP:ANCHOR DEF|anchor]] in the reference section of the article. Clicking on the wikilink repositions the page at the anchor.
===Citation template [[HTML element#Links and anchors|anchor]]===
{{See also|Wikipedia:Citation templates and reference anchors}}
The most common citation templates are {{cs1}} or {{cs2}}. By default, [[Module:Citation/CS1]] creates an [[HTML element#Links and anchors|anchor]] {{tag|a|o|params=name="CITEREF"}} followed by the concatenation of the following parameters:
* '''last''' or '''last1''' or '''surname''' or '''surname1''' or '''author-last''' or '''author-last1''' or '''author1-last''' or '''author-surname''' or '''author-surname1''' or '''author1-surname''' or '''author''' or '''author1''' or '''authors''',
* '''last2''' or '''surname2''' or '''author-last2''' or '''author2-last''' or '''author-surname2''' or '''author2-surname''' or '''author2''',
* '''last3''' or '''surname3''' or '''author-last3''' or '''author3-last''' or '''author-surname3''' or '''author3-surname''' or '''author3''',
* '''last4''' or '''surname4''' or '''author-last4''' or '''author4-last''' or '''author-surname4''' or '''author4-surname''' or '''author4''',
* '''editor-last''' or '''editor-last1''' or '''editor1-last''' or '''editor-surname''' or '''editor-surname1''' or '''editor1-surname''' or '''editor1''' or '''editor''',
* '''editor-last2''' or '''editor2-last''' or '''editor-surname2''' or '''editor2-surname''' or '''editor2''',
* '''editor-last3''' or '''editor3-last''' or '''editor-surname3''' or '''editor3-surname''' or '''editor3''',
* '''editor-last4''' or '''editor4-last''' or '''editor-surname4''' or '''editor4-surname''' or '''editor4''',
* '''date''', '''year'''
This covers the most common templates. Information about all of the templates is available at [[Wikipedia:Citation templates and reference anchors]].
Use of the '''date''' parameter in place of the '''year''' parameter in citation templates is preferred.
===Harvard citation wikilink===
The Harvard citation templates create a [[wikilink]] to the anchor. For example {{tlx|Harv|Smith|2006|4=p=25}} produces the link {{code|#CITEREFSmith2006}} and {{tlx|Citation|2=last=Smith|3=first=John|4=date=27 January 2006|5=title=My Life}} produces the anchor {{code|CITEREFSmith2006}}.
===Using CITEREF directly===
{{Shortcut|WP:CITEREF}}
A few articles create a custom ID using {{code|CITEREF}}, either in place of the Harvard citation template (e.g. <code><nowiki>[[#CITEREFSmith2006|(2006)]]</nowiki></code>) or as a value for {{para|ref}} in the citation template.
{{Refname rules|A custom ID must follow these rules:|
* If CITEREF is used, then spaces in the {{para|ref}} field must be replaced with underscores}}
Examples:
* {{tlx|sfn|{{var|cite name}}|{{var|year}}}}
* {{tlx|cite book|2=ref=CITEREF{{var|cite_nameyear}}}}
* {{tlx|cite book|2=ref={{tl|sfnref|{{var|cite_name}}|{{var|year}}}}}}
Where {{var|cite_name}} is a name such as the publisher.
To avoid the sometimes difficult to remember syntax for links to CITEREF anchors, {{tl|citeref}} can be used to create internal wikilinks with either small superscript-style labels (like this<sup>[n]</sup>) or plain free-text labels to such anchors. It can be used inside of other citations.
Note that the {{code|CITEREF}} prefix is necessary for the [[mw:Reference Tooltips|reference tooltips gadget]] ([[MediaWiki:Gadget-ReferenceTooltips.js]]) to detect that a link goes to a citation.
===[[Template:sfn|<code><nowiki>{{sfn}}</nowiki></code>]]'s [[WP:REFNAME|ref name]]===
Template {{tl2|sfn}} creates a [[WP:REFNAME|named footnote]], so that identical footnotes are combined automatically. The footnote name begins with {{code|FOOTNOTE}} followed by a concatenation of the arguments to {{tl2|sfn}}. E.g.: this template call:
* {{tlx|sfn|Smith|2006|4=p=26}}
should have exactly the same functionality as
* {{tag|ref|params=name="FOOTNOTESmith200626"|content={{tl2|Harvnb|Smith|2006|4=p=26}}.}}
which, in turn, has the same functionality as
* {{tag|ref|params=name="FOOTNOTESmith200626"|content=<nowiki>[[#CITEREFSmith2006|Smith (2006)]], p.&nbsp;26.</nowiki>}}.
{{anchor|url weirdness}}
The ref name becomes more complicated when the page (p) parameter includes a URL, e.g. {{tlg|sfn|Joyce|1903|p{{=}}[https://archive.org/details/aconcisehistory00joycgoog/page/n226 213]|code=on}}, which, once defined, can be called by {{tag|ref|empty|params=name="FOOTNOTEJoyce1903[httpsarchiveorgdetailsaconcisehistory00joycgoogpagen226 213]"}}. The "p=" and the characters |,:,.,/,?,=; are therefore stripped out of the URL. The content of the loc parameter is similarly appended after this.
The call to {{tl2|harvnb}} has been [[subst]]'ed for quicker load times.

{{Lua|Module:Footnotes|Module:Check for unknown parameters}}
The '''shortened footnote template''' {{tl|sfn}} creates a short [[WP:Citing sources#Short citations|author–date citation]] in a [[Wikipedia:Citing sources|footnote]], with a one-directional link to the first matching [[Wikipedia:Citation templates|citation template]] on the same page. It will combine identical footnotes automatically.
It is used to create {{sfnote|lc=y}}, a [[WP:CITESTYLE|citation style]] which pairs a short, author-date citation in a footnote with a [[WP:HOWCITE|complete citation]] in the references section at the end of the article (see example [[#Example|below]]). This citation style is used to simplify multiple citations to the same source and to reduce clutter in the edit window.
Common problems and known workarounds are given in the sections below. Use the table of contents to find what you need.
Note that the use (or even non-use) of these templates is an element of citation "style", and adding or removing them in articles with an established style should be consistent with that style. See [[WP:CITEVAR]].
==Usage==
'''Sfn''' generates an "author-date" style short-cite from the following parameters:
<div style="margin-left: 2em"><code>{{<nowiki>sfn</nowiki>| <{{var|last1}}*> | <{{var|last2}}> | <{{var|last3}}> | <{{var|last4}}> | <{{var|year}}*> | p= <{{var|page}}> | loc= <{{var|location}}> }}</code></div>
with
* <{{var|last1}}> – required; surname of first author or corporate author
* <{{var|last2}}>–<{{var|last4}}> – positional parameters; surnames of next three authors; required if available in the full citation
* <{{var|year}}> – required; four-digit year; may have a lowercase disambiguation letter, like {{pval|2012a}}
* {{para|p}} – specific page referenced in the source (alias: {{para|page}}{{hairspace}})
* {{para|pp}} – comma-separated list of [[Template:Csdoc#pages|individual pages and / or range(s) of pages]] referenced in the source (alias: {{para|pages}}{{hairspace}})
* {{para|loc}} – in-source location when {{para|p}} and {{para|pp}} are inappropriate; may be used to supplement {{para|p}} and {{para|pp}}; information such as a section or figure number. (alias: {{para|at}}{{hairspace}})
=== Example ===
Typical usage is shown in the example below. The text and the footnote are connected by a bi-directional link – clicking on the superscript takes the reader to the footnote, clicking on the footnote number takes them back to the superscript. The clicking on the short citation takes them to the full citation in the references section.
'''Sfn''' will also automatically combine identical footnotes.

Template '''sfn''' is not placed inside {{tag|ref}} tags and generates the footnote internally. (To place '''sfn''' in a footnote, see [[#A citation inside an explanatory footnote|putting a citation inside a footnote]], below.)
===Parameters===
====Author(s) and year====
The first four author surnames (or all authors if fewer than four; use the values from {{para|last''N''}} or {{para|author''N''}}{{hairspace}}) are required, followed by the year of publication (from {{para|year}} or {{para|date}}). Authors past the fourth must be omitted or an error will result.
The [[#Possible issues with author-date link|possible issues]] section below describes workarounds for various common problems, such as [[#Large number of authors|large number of authors]], [[#No author name in citation template|no author name]], [[#More than one work in a year|multiple works in the same year]], [[#Two sources with same last names and years|Two sources with same last names and years]] and others.

Use {{para|p}} for single pages; use {{para|pp}} for multiple pages (such as ranges). Use of {{para|p}} for multiple pages or {{para|pp}} for single pages can cause [[Help:Cite errors/Cite error references duplicate key|cite errors]].
{{para|loc}} can be used to specify a location in the source in another way, such as section numbers or chapters. It can also be combined with {{para|p}} or {{para|pp}}.

==Possible issues with author-date link==
{{for|information on how to turn on error messages for broken links|:Category:Harv and Sfn template errors}}
These are techniques that address various unusual difficulties with the link between the short citation and the full citation.
Templates that have broken [[wikilink]]s using these templates are added to the category {{cat|All articles with broken links to citations}}.
===Wikilink to citation does not work===
If an article is using this template and nothing happens when you click on the highlighted [[wikilink]] from the [[WP:SHORTCITE|short citation]] to the [[WP:SHORTCITE|full citation]] at the bottom of the page, there are several possible solutions. If:
# Templates like this one are rarely used in this article. '''Solution''': Remove this template and format the citation in the style used most often in the article.
# The correct full citation does ''not'' appear at the bottom of the article. '''Solution''': Find the source (it may be copied from an article on a similar subject), and check that it verifies the text. If the source can't be found, replace this template with {{tl2|citation not found}}.
# The correct full citation appears at the bottom of the article, and
## The full citation uses a template from the list at [[Help:Citation Style 1|Citation Style 1]]:
### The citation template has only {{para|author}} and this template uses the last name. '''Solution''': Either (a) split the author name in to {{para|last}} and {{para|first}} in the full citation or (b) use the full name in the short citation. Be careful in either case to be consistent with the other citations in the article.
### The name in the short citation is spelled or capitalized differently than in the full citation. '''Solution''': Check the source for the correct spelling, and use the same spelling, spacing, and capitalization in both the short and full citations.
### There is more than one full citation with the same last name and year. '''Solution''': See [[#More than one work in a year|§More than one work in a year]] or [[#Two sources with same last names and years|§Two sources with same last names and years]].
### The year is different here than the full citation. '''Solution''': Check the source for the correct year, and use the same year in both the short and full citations.
### The template has a {{para|date}} field and no {{para|year}} field, but the format of the {{para|date}} field is unusual. '''Solution''': Try to fix the date. If the link still does not work, add {{para|year}} to the citation template. (It's okay if it has both.)
### The template does not have a year, or the date is set to "n.d." (no date). '''Solution''': Set the year field of this template to "n.d.".
### The template does not have an author's or an editor's, last name (authors take precedence over editors). '''Solution''': See [[#Citation template has no author name|§Citation template has no author name]], below.
### The template has no author, date or title. '''Solution''': See [[#Citation template has no author, date or title|§Citation template has no author, date or title]]
##Find the citation template in [[Wikipedia:Citation templates and reference anchors#Citation templates that create anchors|WP:Citation templates and anchors]] and find out if it has support for an anchor.
### The citation template doesn't automatically create the anchor, but has {{para|ref}}. '''Solution''': See [[#Citation template doesn't create a compatible anchor but has %7Cref=|§Citation template doesn't create a compatible anchor but has {{para|ref}}]], below.
### The citation template doesn't support anchors at all. '''Solution''': See [[#Citation template does not support any kind of anchor|§Citation format does not support any kind of anchor]], below.
##The full citation is handwritten.
### There are no other citation templates in the article. This is probably because local editors prefer it that way. '''Solution''': You should adapt to the style of the article. This would probably entail removing this template and formatting the short citation in plain text or replacing it with a full citation in {{tag|ref}} tags.
### There are citation templates used liberally throughout the article. '''Solution''': Reformat the source with the appropriate {{cite *}} template (and set the {{para|ref}} appropriately, if necessary).
### No appropriate template can be found. '''Solution''': See [[#No citation template|§No citation template]], below.
===Custom anchors===
A custom anchor using {{tl|sfnref}} can, at least temporarily, always make the shortened footnote look exactly the way you would like and still have a link that works. Many of the problems and workarounds below require a custom anchor.
All CS1 citation templates and several other templates allow you to set a custom anchor with parameter {{para|ref}}. The template {{tl|sfnRef}} creates an anchor that will match {{tl|sfn}}'s if it has the same parameters as {{tl|sfn}}. To use this technique, choose the name and year you would like to appear in {{tl|sfn}}, copy these parameters into {{tl|sfnRef}} and set {{tl|ref}} to the {{tl|sfnRef}}.
In other words, if you want this:
* {{tl2|sfn|<*''name you want''>|<''year''>|<''page / location''>}}
then set this:
* {{para|ref|{{tl2|sfnRef|<''name you want''>|<''year''>}}}}
in the template, and the link should work correctly.
The parameters must be <em>identical</em> in every respect. If the year is unusual (i.e. not a number), then include the year in the name and don't use the year position.
===Large number of authors===
If there are more than four authors, the first four authors' surnames (the value in {{para|last}} or {{para|author}}) are required by the template. Listing more authors is not supported. It is also possible to use a [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]] that sets the name field to "Smith et. al.".

}}}}
===More than one work in a year===
Where there is a need to cite more than one work ''by the same author published in the same year'', the standard way to disambiguate such works is to add a letter suffix after the year, e.g. "Smith 2006a" and "Smith 2006b".
Set the year element of the {{tlc|sfn}} templates (e.g. {{tlc|sfn|Smith|2006a}} and {{tlc|sfn|Smith|2006a}}), and add the disambiguation letter to the matching full citation, (e.g. <code><nowiki>{{cite book|...|last=Smith|date=2006b}}</nowiki></code>).
When {{tlc|sfn}} is used with {{tlx|citation}} or {{cs1}} templates, a year-suffix letter may be added to {{para|date}} for all accepted date formats except year-initial numeric ({{small|YYYY-MM-DD}}). It is not necessary to include both {{para|date}} and {{para|year}} (see exception [[#NB_YEAR|below]]). If both are included, {{para|year}} is used for the <code>CITEREF</code> anchor to be compliant with legacy citations.
:{{para|date|2013a}}: simple year only dates
:{{para|date|Jan 2013b}} or {{para|date|Winter 2013b}}: month or season and year dates
:{{para|date|9 November 2013b}} or {{para|date|November 9, 2013b}}: full dates
:{{para|date|June–July 2013c}} or {{para|date|Winter–Spring 2013c}}: month or season ranges and year dates
:{{para|date|c. 2013d}}: circa year dates
:{{para|date|{{#time:Y}}–{{#time:Y|now +1 year}}e}} or {{para|date|Summer {{#time:Y}}–{{#time:y|now +1 year}}e}}: year ranges
:{{para|date|n.d.f}}: no date (n.d.)
:{{anchor|NB_YEAR}}<s>{{para|date|2013g-11-09}}</s>: not supported, the template must use {{para|year|2013g}}. If month and day should be part of the citation as well, both parameters need to be given: {{para|date|2013-11-09}} {{para|year|2013x}}. In this case, {{para|date}} is used for citation display and metadata purposes, and {{para|year}} for link disambiguation.

===Two sources with same last names and years ===
An article might cite works from the same year by two different authors with the same last name. For example, an article might cite psychoanalysts [[Anna Freud]] and [[Sigmund Freud]], who both wrote books in the same year.
There are two solutions: it's possible to use the same technique described in the previous section. To differentiate between the two books, the first one can be given the year "1928a" and the second one "1928b".
Or, you can create a [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]] that adds an initial to the name fields, e.g. "A. Freud" and "S. Freud". The links will no longer conflict.
{{markup

===Citation template has no year but has a date===
Either the {{para|date}} or {{para|year}} of a citation template can be matched—the template logic can extract the year from a full date. If the date parameter is not a full date, then the extraction will fail. If the link does not seem to work, it also possible to set both {{para|date}} and {{para|year}} parameters. The template will display the date and use the year for the anchor. These two examples show a year being successfully extracted from full date.

===Citation template has no date===
If the cited source does not have a date, you can use {{para|date|n.d.}} for the full citation and "n.d." in place of the date for the short citation:
{{markup
|<nowiki>This is a fact.{{sfn|Smith|n.d.}}
==Notes==
{{reflist}}
==References==
* {{Citation |last=Smith |title=Title |date=n.d. |publisher=Publisher |mode=cs1}}</nowiki>

{{fake heading|sub=3|Notes}}
{{reflist}}
{{fake heading|sub=3|References}}
* {{Citation |last=Smith |title=Title |date=n.d. |publisher=Publisher |mode=cs1}}
}}
===Citation template has no author name===
Some sources do not have a single author with a last name, such as a magazine article or a report from a government institution. There is no consensus (in Wikipedia or among citation styles) about how to format author–date citations for works that do not have a specific author. Several choices are:
# The title of the article, or a shortened form of the title, is recommended by some style guides.
# For a newspaper or periodical, you may use the name of the paper and the date.
# For a publication by an institution, use either:
## The initials of the institution
## The name of the institution
# Other style guides recommend using "Anonymous" or "Anon."
An article should adopt one of these styles consistently.
Use a [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]] to replace set the author name to one of these other choices, as shown in these examples below.

=== Citation template has no author, date or title ===
If the cited source does not have a date, author, or title, place a description of the source within brackets for the {{para|title}} parameter, use {{para|date|n.d.}} and create [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]] with the description in the name position and "n.d." in the year.

{{See section|Wikipedia:Citation templates and reference anchors|Citation templates that create anchors}}
Some templates, such as {{tl|cite comic}}, {{tl|cite thesis}} and {{tl|cite map}} use the parameter {{para|ref}} to create an anchor for the short citation. This can be used to set a [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]] for {{tl|sfn}}

You could also use CITEREF directly with a concatenation of <code>#CITEREF</code> plus the parameters passed to the Harvard citation template.
===Citation template does not support any kind of anchor===
{{See section|Wikipedia:Citation templates and reference anchors|Citation templates that create anchors}}
There are a few templates that do not support any kind of anchor, including {{tl|cite report}}, {{tl|cite music release notes}}, {{tl|cite DVD-notes}}, {{tl|cite episode}} and others.
It is possible to use {{tl|wikicite}} to create an anchor. It has a {{para|ref}} parameter which can be set to a [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]]. In this example, the publisher is considered the editor.

===No citation template ===
If the citation is handwritten you should consider the citation format of the article. If citation templates are used often in this article, then check [[WP:Citation templates]] and try to find one that works for this source. If no template can be found, then this may be a source which can't be represented in our citation templates.
Use {{tl2|wikicite}} to make an anchor, setting Wikicite's {{para|ref}} to a [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]].

== Techniques and variations ==
{{anchor|Additional comments or quotes}}
=== Adding additional comments or quotes ===
The templates {{tl2|harvnb}} or {{tl2|harvtxt}} can be used to add quotes or additional comments into the footnote, in the form of in-text attributions.
{{markup
|<nowiki>
Some information.<ref>{{harvnb|Smith|2011|p=2}}: "A quote verifying the information."</ref>
== Notes ==

{{Fake heading|sub=3|Notes}}
{{reflist}}
}}
===Adding a URL for the page or location===
If a specific link to the page or section is available, a [[Uniform Resource Locator|URL]] can be added to the location or page number.
{{markup
|<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">Article text.{{sfn|Smith|2011|p=[https://en.wikipedia.org 3]}}
Other article text.{{sfn|Smith|2011|loc=[https://en.wikipedia.org §7]}}

{{reflist}}
==References==
* {{cite book | last = Smith | date = 2011 | title = Smith's

|* {{cite book | last = Smith | date = 2011 | title = Smith's book }}
}}}}
(See [[#url weirdness|below]] for a potential issue with this technique.)
===Citations inside explanatory footnotes===
Sometimes an explanatory footnote requires a citation. There are several acceptable solutions.
It is currently disputed (June 2026) whether parenthetical referencing (or narrative referencing, i.e. in-text attribution serving as referencing) is deprecated inside {{tag|ref}} tags used for explanatory footnotes.
Citations using {{tl1|sfn}} can't be directly embedded between {{tag|ref}} tags, because the following message will be produced: {{small|{{error|Cite error references missing group||nocat=true}}}}. But {{tl1|sfn}} can be used with templates {{tl1|efn}} and {{tl1|notelist}}, which separates the explanatory footnotes from the short citations, as shown in this example. (See also [[Chinese Room]], which is an article that makes extensive use of this technique.)

===Multiple lists of inline citations===
Sometimes there is a need to create two or more separate lists of inline footnotes. For example some family trees are contained in templates, they are transluded into several biographies, and they have their own self contained citations (see [[Template:Houston family tree]] and the article [[Margaret Lea Houston]]).
To facilitate this, while the main page uses the standard 1,2,3 footnote counting, it is common for family trees to use the efn template with a group parameter set—for example {{tlx|efn-lg}} (lower-greek). The efn templates are text templates, to link some or all of the content of the efn template to a long citation template such as {{tlx|cite book}} place {{tlx|harvnb}} or {{tlx|harv}} within the efn template.

{{anchor|Ps problems}}
== Other parameters ==
These parameters were designed to handle special cases that are better handled by other techniques.
===Parameter {{para|ps}}===
These templates have a parameter {{para|ps}}, designed to hold quotes and explanations.
Two or more {{tlc|sfn}} templates with the same authors, same year, and same page, but different {{para|ps}} will result in a {{small|{{error|Cite error: The named reference ... was defined multiple times with different content}}}} message. This message happens because the reference names that {{tlc|sfn}} creates will be the same, but the content between the {{tag|ref|params=name="FOOTNOTE..."|o}} tag and the {{tag|ref|c}} tag will be different.
A workaround is to convert the offending {{tlc|sfn}} templates to {{tlx|harvnb}} wrapped in {{tag|ref}} tags, as recommended in [[#Additional comments or quotes|§ Adding additional comments or quotes]]. This method is more versatile and robust.
Template {{para|ps}} also has a second (rare) use, when setting {{para|ps|none}}, which suppressed the final period. See [[#Variations in the format of the author-date citation|§ Variations in the format of the author-date citation]].
===Parameter {{para|ref}}===
The optional parameter {{para|ref}} was used to create an unusually named link from the short citation to the full citation. This typically would require setting the hand coded link on the full citation as well. It's easier to only set the link of the full citation to {{para|ref|{{tl2|sfnref}}}}.
If you specify {{para|ref|none}}, no hyperlink is created. However, if one does not want the link, it is always possible to simply use plain text instead of the template.
The parameter only appears in <nowiki>{{harv*}}</nowiki> templates, and may still appear in a few articles.
==Open problems==
===Link works but displays a no target error===
When a short-cite template links to a full citation that is rendered by a template that wraps a CS1 template, like {{txl|cite DNB}} (which wraps {{txl|cite encyclopedia}}), a {{error-small|no target}} error may be displayed even when the short-cite template is valid and the link works. That is a "false positive" error. The error message can be suppressed by adding {{para|ignore-err|yes}} to the template, or by adding the template {{t|Sfn whitelist}} with the anchor ID(s) to the article. If you are testing changes in [[Special:ExpandTemplates]] and the error message cannot be suppressed, try testing in a sandbox or user subpage instead.
==={{ucfirst:sfn}} embedded in list-defined ref does not work===
If you [[Help:Footnotes#embedding references|embed]] an {{ucfirst:sfn}} 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}}.
==Implementation notes==
These templates use two elements: a [[wikilink]] in the body of the article, and an [[WP:ANCHOR DEF|anchor]] in the reference section of the article. Clicking on the wikilink repositions the page at the anchor.
===Citation template [[HTML element#Links and anchors|anchor]]===
{{See also|Wikipedia:Citation templates and reference anchors}}
The most common citation templates are {{cs1}} or {{cs2}}. By default, [[Module:Citation/CS1]] creates an [[HTML element#Links and anchors|anchor]] {{tag|a|o|params=name="CITEREF"}} followed by the concatenation of the following parameters:
* '''last''' or '''last1''' or '''surname''' or '''surname1''' or '''author-last''' or '''author-last1''' or '''author1-last''' or '''author-surname''' or '''author-surname1''' or '''author1-surname''' or '''author''' or '''author1''' or '''authors''',
* '''last2''' or '''surname2''' or '''author-last2''' or '''author2-last''' or '''author-surname2''' or '''author2-surname''' or '''author2''',
* '''last3''' or '''surname3''' or '''author-last3''' or '''author3-last''' or '''author-surname3''' or '''author3-surname''' or '''author3''',
* '''last4''' or '''surname4''' or '''author-last4''' or '''author4-last''' or '''author-surname4''' or '''author4-surname''' or '''author4''',
* '''editor-last''' or '''editor-last1''' or '''editor1-last''' or '''editor-surname''' or '''editor-surname1''' or '''editor1-surname''' or '''editor1''' or '''editor''',
* '''editor-last2''' or '''editor2-last''' or '''editor-surname2''' or '''editor2-surname''' or '''editor2''',
* '''editor-last3''' or '''editor3-last''' or '''editor-surname3''' or '''editor3-surname''' or '''editor3''',
* '''editor-last4''' or '''editor4-last''' or '''editor-surname4''' or '''editor4-surname''' or '''editor4''',
* '''date''', '''year'''
This covers the most common templates. Information about all of the templates is available at [[Wikipedia:Citation templates and reference anchors]].
Use of the '''date''' parameter in place of the '''year''' parameter in citation templates is preferred.
===Harvard citation wikilink===
The Harvard citation templates create a [[wikilink]] to the anchor. For example {{tlx|Harv|Smith|2006|4=p=25}} produces the link {{code|#CITEREFSmith2006}} and {{tlx|Citation|2=last=Smith|3=first=John|4=date=27 January 2006|5=title=My Life}} produces the anchor {{code|CITEREFSmith2006}}.
===Using CITEREF directly===
{{Shortcut|WP:CITEREF}}
A few articles create a custom ID using {{code|CITEREF}}, either in place of the Harvard citation template (e.g. <code><nowiki>[[#CITEREFSmith2006|(2006)]]</nowiki></code>) or as a value for {{para|ref}} in the citation template.
{{Refname rules|A custom ID must follow these rules:|
* If CITEREF is used, then spaces in the {{para|ref}} field must be replaced with underscores}}
Examples:
* {{tlx|sfn|{{var|cite name}}|{{var|year}}}}
* {{tlx|cite book|2=ref=CITEREF{{var|cite_nameyear}}}}
* {{tlx|cite book|2=ref={{tl|sfnref|{{var|cite_name}}|{{var|year}}}}}}
Where {{var|cite_name}} is a name such as the publisher.
To avoid the sometimes difficult to remember syntax for links to CITEREF anchors, {{tl|citeref}} can be used to create internal wikilinks with either small superscript-style labels (like this<sup>[n]</sup>) or plain free-text labels to such anchors. It can be used inside of other citations.
Note that the {{code|CITEREF}} prefix is necessary for the [[mw:Reference Tooltips|reference tooltips gadget]] ([[MediaWiki:Gadget-ReferenceTooltips.js]]) to detect that a link goes to a citation.
===[[Template:sfn|<code><nowiki>{{sfn}}</nowiki></code>]]'s [[WP:REFNAME|ref name]]===
Template {{tl2|sfn}} creates a [[WP:REFNAME|named footnote]], so that identical footnotes are combined automatically. The footnote name begins with {{code|FOOTNOTE}} followed by a concatenation of the arguments to {{tl2|sfn}}. E.g.: this template call:
* {{tlx|sfn|Smith|2006|4=p=26}}
should have exactly the same functionality as
* {{tag|ref|params=name="FOOTNOTESmith200626"|content={{tl2|Harvnb|Smith|2006|4=p=26}}.}}
which, in turn, has the same functionality as
* {{tag|ref|params=name="FOOTNOTESmith200626"|content=<nowiki>[[#CITEREFSmith2006|Smith (2006)]], p.&nbsp;26.</nowiki>}}.
{{anchor|url weirdness}}
The ref name becomes more complicated when the page (p) parameter includes a URL, e.g. {{tlg|sfn|Joyce|1903|p{{=}}[https://archive.org/details/aconcisehistory00joycgoog/page/n226 213]|code=on}}, which, once defined, can be called by {{tag|ref|empty|params=name="FOOTNOTEJoyce1903[httpsarchiveorgdetailsaconcisehistory00joycgoogpagen226 213]"}}. The "p=" and the characters |,:,.,/,?,=; are therefore stripped out of the URL. The content of the loc parameter is similarly appended after this.
The call to {{tl2|harvnb}} has been [[subst]]'ed for quicker load times.

{{Lua|Module:Footnotes|Module:Check for unknown parameters}}
The '''shortened footnote template''' {{tl|sfn}} creates a short [[WP:Citing sources#Short citations|author–date citation]] in a [[Wikipedia:Citing sources|footnote]], with a one-directional link to the first matching [[Wikipedia:Citation templates|citation template]] on the same page. It will combine identical footnotes automatically.
It is used to create {{sfnote|lc=y}}, a [[WP:CITESTYLE|citation style]] which pairs a short, author-date citation in a footnote with a [[WP:HOWCITE|complete citation]] in the references section at the end of the article (see example [[#Example|below]]). This citation style is used to simplify multiple citations to the same source and to reduce clutter in the edit window.
Common problems and known workarounds are given in the sections below. Use the table of contents to find what you need.
Note that the use (or even non-use) of these templates is an element of citation "style", and adding or removing them in articles with an established style should be consistent with that style. See [[WP:CITEVAR]].
==Usage==
'''Sfn''' generates an "author-date" style short-cite from the following parameters:
<div style="margin-left: 2em"><code>{{<nowiki>sfn</nowiki>| <{{var|last1}}*> | <{{var|last2}}> | <{{var|last3}}> | <{{var|last4}}> | <{{var|year}}*> | p= <{{var|page}}> | loc= <{{var|location}}> }}</code></div>
with
* <{{var|last1}}> – required; surname of first author or corporate author
* <{{var|last2}}>–<{{var|last4}}> – positional parameters; surnames of next three authors; required if available in the full citation
* <{{var|year}}> – required; four-digit year; may have a lowercase disambiguation letter, like {{pval|2012a}}
* {{para|p}} – specific page referenced in the source (alias: {{para|page}}{{hairspace}})
* {{para|pp}} – comma-separated list of [[Template:Csdoc#pages|individual pages and / or range(s) of pages]] referenced in the source (alias: {{para|pages}}{{hairspace}})
* {{para|loc}} – in-source location when {{para|p}} and {{para|pp}} are inappropriate; may be used to supplement {{para|p}} and {{para|pp}}; information such as a section or figure number. (alias: {{para|at}}{{hairspace}})
=== Example ===
Typical usage is shown in the example below. The text and the footnote are connected by a bi-directional link – clicking on the superscript takes the reader to the footnote, clicking on the footnote number takes them back to the superscript. The clicking on the short citation takes them to the full citation in the references section.
'''Sfn''' will also automatically combine identical footnotes.

Template '''sfn''' is not placed inside {{tag|ref}} tags and generates the footnote internally. (To place '''sfn''' in a footnote, see [[#A citation inside an explanatory footnote|putting a citation inside a footnote]], below.)
===Parameters===
====Author(s) and year====
The first four author surnames (or all authors if fewer than four; use the values from {{para|last''N''}} or {{para|author''N''}}{{hairspace}}) are required, followed by the year of publication (from {{para|year}} or {{para|date}}). Authors past the fourth must be omitted or an error will result.
The [[#Possible issues with author-date link|possible issues]] section below describes workarounds for various common problems, such as [[#Large number of authors|large number of authors]], [[#No author name in citation template|no author name]], [[#More than one work in a year|multiple works in the same year]], [[#Two sources with same last names and years|Two sources with same last names and years]] and others.

==Possible issues with author-date link==
{{for|information on how to turn on error messages for broken links|:Category:Harv and Sfn template errors}}
These are techniques that address various unusual difficulties with the link between the short citation and the full citation.
Templates that have broken [[wikilink]]s using these templates are added to the category {{cat|All articles with broken links to citations}}.
===Wikilink to citation does not work===
If an article is using this template and nothing happens when you click on the highlighted [[wikilink]] from the [[WP:SHORTCITE|short citation]] to the [[WP:SHORTCITE|full citation]] at the bottom of the page, there are several possible solutions. If:
# Templates like this one are rarely used in this article. '''Solution''': Remove this template and format the citation in the style used most often in the article.
# The correct full citation does ''not'' appear at the bottom of the article. '''Solution''': Find the source (it may be copied from an article on a similar subject), and check that it verifies the text. If the source can't be found, replace this template with {{tl2|citation not found}}.
# The correct full citation appears at the bottom of the article, and
## The full citation uses a template from the list at [[Help:Citation Style 1|Citation Style 1]]:
### The citation template has only {{para|author}} and this template uses the last name. '''Solution''': Either (a) split the author name in to {{para|last}} and {{para|first}} in the full citation or (b) use the full name in the short citation. Be careful in either case to be consistent with the other citations in the article.
### The name in the short citation is spelled or capitalized differently than in the full citation. '''Solution''': Check the source for the correct spelling, and use the same spelling, spacing, and capitalization in both the short and full citations.
### There is more than one full citation with the same last name and year. '''Solution''': See [[#More than one work in a year|§More than one work in a year]] or [[#Two sources with same last names and years|§Two sources with same last names and years]].
### The year is different here than the full citation. '''Solution''': Check the source for the correct year, and use the same year in both the short and full citations.
### The template has a {{para|date}} field and no {{para|year}} field, but the format of the {{para|date}} field is unusual. '''Solution''': Try to fix the date. If the link still does not work, add {{para|year}} to the citation template. (It's okay if it has both.)
### The template does not have a year, or the date is set to "n.d." (no date). '''Solution''': Set the year field of this template to "n.d.".
### The template does not have an author's or an editor's, last name (authors take precedence over editors). '''Solution''': See [[#Citation template has no author name|§Citation template has no author name]], below.
### The template has no author, date or title. '''Solution''': See [[#Citation template has no author, date or title|§Citation template has no author, date or title]]
##Find the citation template in [[Wikipedia:Citation templates and reference anchors#Citation templates that create anchors|WP:Citation templates and anchors]] and find out if it has support for an anchor.
### The citation template doesn't automatically create the anchor, but has {{para|ref}}. '''Solution''': See [[#Citation template doesn't create a compatible anchor but has %7Cref=|§Citation template doesn't create a compatible anchor but has {{para|ref}}]], below.
### The citation template doesn't support anchors at all. '''Solution''': See [[#Citation template does not support any kind of anchor|§Citation format does not support any kind of anchor]], below.
##The full citation is handwritten.
### There are no other citation templates in the article. This is probably because local editors prefer it that way. '''Solution''': You should adapt to the style of the article. This would probably entail removing this template and formatting the short citation in plain text or replacing it with a full citation in {{tag|ref}} tags.
### There are citation templates used liberally throughout the article. '''Solution''': Reformat the source with the appropriate {{cite *}} template (and set the {{para|ref}} appropriately, if necessary).
### No appropriate template can be found. '''Solution''': See [[#No citation template|§No citation template]], below.
===Custom anchors===
A custom anchor using {{tl|sfnref}} can, at least temporarily, always make the shortened footnote look exactly the way you would like and still have a link that works. Many of the problems and workarounds below require a custom anchor.
All CS1 citation templates and several other templates allow you to set a custom anchor with parameter {{para|ref}}. The template {{tl|sfnRef}} creates an anchor that will match {{tl|sfn}}'s if it has the same parameters as {{tl|sfn}}. To use this technique, choose the name and year you would like to appear in {{tl|sfn}}, copy these parameters into {{tl|sfnRef}} and set {{tl|ref}} to the {{tl|sfnRef}}.
In other words, if you want this:
* {{tl2|sfn|<*''name you want''>|<''year''>|<''page / location''>}}
then set this:
* {{para|ref|{{tl2|sfnRef|<''name you want''>|<''year''>}}}}
in the template, and the link should work correctly.
The parameters must be <em>identical</em> in every respect. If the year is unusual (i.e. not a number), then include the year in the name and don't use the year position.
===Large number of authors===
If there are more than four authors, the first four authors' surnames (the value in {{para|last}} or {{para|author}}) are required by the template. Listing more authors is not supported. It is also possible to use a [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]] that sets the name field to "Smith et. al.".

}}}}
===More than one work in a year===
Where there is a need to cite more than one work ''by the same author published in the same year'', the standard way to disambiguate such works is to add a letter suffix after the year, e.g. "Smith 2006a" and "Smith 2006b".
Set the year element of the {{tlc|sfn}} templates (e.g. {{tlc|sfn|Smith|2006a}} and {{tlc|sfn|Smith|2006a}}), and add the disambiguation letter to the matching full citation, (e.g. <code><nowiki>{{cite book|...|last=Smith|date=2006b}}</nowiki></code>).
When {{tlc|sfn}} is used with {{tlx|citation}} or {{cs1}} templates, a year-suffix letter may be added to {{para|date}} for all accepted date formats except year-initial numeric ({{small|YYYY-MM-DD}}). It is not necessary to include both {{para|date}} and {{para|year}} (see exception [[#NB_YEAR|below]]). If both are included, {{para|year}} is used for the <code>CITEREF</code> anchor to be compliant with legacy citations.
:{{para|date|2013a}}: simple year only dates
:{{para|date|Jan 2013b}} or {{para|date|Winter 2013b}}: month or season and year dates
:{{para|date|9 November 2013b}} or {{para|date|November 9, 2013b}}: full dates
:{{para|date|June–July 2013c}} or {{para|date|Winter–Spring 2013c}}: month or season ranges and year dates
:{{para|date|c. 2013d}}: circa year dates
:{{para|date|{{#time:Y}}–{{#time:Y|now +1 year}}e}} or {{para|date|Summer {{#time:Y}}–{{#time:y|now +1 year}}e}}: year ranges
:{{para|date|n.d.f}}: no date (n.d.)
:{{anchor|NB_YEAR}}<s>{{para|date|2013g-11-09}}</s>: not supported, the template must use {{para|year|2013g}}. If month and day should be part of the citation as well, both parameters need to be given: {{para|date|2013-11-09}} {{para|year|2013x}}. In this case, {{para|date}} is used for citation display and metadata purposes, and {{para|year}} for link disambiguation.

===Two sources with same last names and years ===
An article might cite works from the same year by two different authors with the same last name. For example, an article might cite psychoanalysts [[Anna Freud]] and [[Sigmund Freud]], who both wrote books in the same year.
There are two solutions: it's possible to use the same technique described in the previous section. To differentiate between the two books, the first one can be given the year "1928a" and the second one "1928b".
Or, you can create a [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]] that adds an initial to the name fields, e.g. "A. Freud" and "S. Freud". The links will no longer conflict.

===Citation template has no year but has a date===
Either the {{para|date}} or {{para|year}} of a citation template can be matched—the template logic can extract the year from a full date. If the date parameter is not a full date, then the extraction will fail. If the link does not seem to work, it also possible to set both {{para|date}} and {{para|year}} parameters. The template will display the date and use the year for the anchor. These two examples show a year being successfully extracted from full date.

===Citation template has no date===
If the cited source does not have a date, you can use {{para|date|n.d.}} for the full citation and "n.d." in place of the date for the short citation:
{{markup
|<nowiki>This is a fact.{{sfn|Smith|n.d.}}
==Notes==
{{reflist}}
==References==
* {{Citation |last=Smith |title=Title |date=n.d. |publisher=Publisher |mode=cs1}}</nowiki>

{{fake heading|sub=3|Notes}}
{{reflist}}
{{fake heading|sub=3|References}}
* {{Citation |last=Smith |title=Title |date=n.d. |publisher=Publisher |mode=cs1}}
}}
===Citation template has no author name===
Some sources do not have a single author with a last name, such as a magazine article or a report from a government institution. There is no consensus (in Wikipedia or among citation styles) about how to format author–date citations for works that do not have a specific author. Several choices are:
# The title of the article, or a shortened form of the title, is recommended by some style guides.
# For a newspaper or periodical, you may use the name of the paper and the date.
# For a publication by an institution, use either:
## The initials of the institution
## The name of the institution
# Other style guides recommend using "Anonymous" or "Anon."
An article should adopt one of these styles consistently.
Use a [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]] to replace set the author name to one of these other choices, as shown in these examples below.

=== Citation template has no author, date or title ===
If the cited source does not have a date, author, or title, place a description of the source within brackets for the {{para|title}} parameter, use {{para|date|n.d.}} and create [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]] with the description in the name position and "n.d." in the year.

===Citation template doesn't create a compatible anchor but has {{para|ref}} ===
{{See section|Wikipedia:Citation templates and reference anchors|Citation templates that create anchors}}
Some templates, such as {{tl|cite comic}}, {{tl|cite thesis}} and {{tl|cite map}} use the parameter {{para|ref}} to create an anchor for the short citation. This can be used to set a [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]] for {{tl|sfn}}

You could also use CITEREF directly with a concatenation of <code>#CITEREF</code> plus the parameters passed to the Harvard citation template.
===Citation template does not support any kind of anchor===
{{See section|Wikipedia:Citation templates and reference anchors|Citation templates that create anchors}}
There are a few templates that do not support any kind of anchor, including {{tl|cite report}}, {{tl|cite music release notes}}, {{tl|cite DVD-notes}}, {{tl|cite episode}} and others.
It is possible to use {{tl|wikicite}} to create an anchor. It has a {{para|ref}} parameter which can be set to a [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]]. In this example, the publisher is considered the editor.

===No citation template ===
If the citation is handwritten you should consider the citation format of the article. If citation templates are used often in this article, then check [[WP:Citation templates]] and try to find one that works for this source. If no template can be found, then this may be a source which can't be represented in our citation templates.
Use {{tl2|wikicite}} to make an anchor, setting Wikicite's {{para|ref}} to a [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]].

== Techniques and variations ==
{{anchor|Additional comments or quotes}}
=== Adding additional comments or quotes ===
The templates {{tl2|harvnb}} or {{tl2|harvtxt}} can be used to add quotes or additional comments into the footnote, in the form of in-text attributions.
{{markup
|<nowiki>
Some information.<ref>{{harvnb|Smith|2011|p=2}}: "A quote verifying the information."</ref>
== Notes ==

{{Fake heading|sub=3|Notes}}
{{reflist}}
}}
===Adding a URL for the page or location===
If a specific link to the page or section is available, a [[Uniform Resource Locator|URL]] can be added to the location or page number.
{{markup
|<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">Article text.{{sfn|Smith|2011|p=[https://en.wikipedia.org 3]}}
Other article text.{{sfn|Smith|2011|loc=[https://en.wikipedia.org §7]}}
==Notes==
{{reflist}}
==References==
* {{cite book | last = Smith | date = 2011 | title = Smith's

|* {{cite book | last = Smith | date = 2011 | title = Smith's book }}
}}}}
(See [[#url weirdness|below]] for a potential issue with this technique.)
===Citations inside explanatory footnotes===
Sometimes an explanatory footnote requires a citation. There are several acceptable solutions.
It is currently disputed (June 2026) whether parenthetical referencing (or narrative referencing, i.e. in-text attribution serving as referencing) is deprecated inside {{tag|ref}} tags used for explanatory footnotes.
Citations using {{tl1|sfn}} can't be directly embedded between {{tag|ref}} tags, because the following message will be produced: {{small|{{error|Cite error references missing group||nocat=true}}}}. But {{tl1|sfn}} can be used with templates {{tl1|efn}} and {{tl1|notelist}}, which separates the explanatory footnotes from the short citations, as shown in this example. (See also [[Chinese Room]], which is an article that makes extensive use of this technique.)

===Multiple lists of inline citations===
Sometimes there is a need to create two or more separate lists of inline footnotes. For example some family trees are contained in templates, they are transluded into several biographies, and they have their own self contained citations (see [[Template:Houston family tree]] and the article [[Margaret Lea Houston]]).
To facilitate this, while the main page uses the standard 1,2,3 footnote counting, it is common for family trees to use the efn template with a group parameter set—for example {{tlx|efn-lg}} (lower-greek). The efn templates are text templates, to link some or all of the content of the efn template to a long citation template such as {{tlx|cite book}} place {{tlx|harvnb}} or {{tlx|harv}} within the efn template.

{{anchor|Ps problems}}
== Other parameters ==
These parameters were designed to handle special cases that are better handled by other techniques.
===Parameter {{para|ps}}===
These templates have a parameter {{para|ps}}, designed to hold quotes and explanations.
Two or more {{tlc|sfn}} templates with the same authors, same year, and same page, but different {{para|ps}} will result in a {{small|{{error|Cite error: The named reference ... was defined multiple times with different content}}}} message. This message happens because the reference names that {{tlc|sfn}} creates will be the same, but the content between the {{tag|ref|params=name="FOOTNOTE..."|o}} tag and the {{tag|ref|c}} tag will be different.
A workaround is to convert the offending {{tlc|sfn}} templates to {{tlx|harvnb}} wrapped in {{tag|ref}} tags, as recommended in [[#Additional comments or quotes|§ Adding additional comments or quotes]]. This method is more versatile and robust.
Template {{para|ps}} also has a second (rare) use, when setting {{para|ps|none}}, which suppressed the final period. See [[#Variations in the format of the author-date citation|§ Variations in the format of the author-date citation]].
===Parameter {{para|ref}}===
The optional parameter {{para|ref}} was used to create an unusually named link from the short citation to the full citation. This typically would require setting the hand coded link on the full citation as well. It's easier to only set the link of the full citation to {{para|ref|{{tl2|sfnref}}}}.
If you specify {{para|ref|none}}, no hyperlink is created. However, if one does not want the link, it is always possible to simply use plain text instead of the template.
The parameter only appears in <nowiki>{{harv*}}</nowiki> templates, and may still appear in a few articles.
===Link works but displays a no target error===
When a short-cite template links to a full citation that is rendered by a template that wraps a CS1 template, like {{txl|cite DNB}} (which wraps {{txl|cite encyclopedia}}), a {{error-small|no target}} error may be displayed even when the short-cite template is valid and the link works. That is a "false positive" error. The error message can be suppressed by adding {{para|ignore-err|yes}} to the template, or by adding the template {{t|Sfn whitelist}} with the anchor ID(s) to the article. If you are testing changes in [[Special:ExpandTemplates]] and the error message cannot be suppressed, try testing in a sandbox or user subpage instead.
==={{ucfirst:sfn}} embedded in list-defined ref does not work===
If you [[Help:Footnotes#embedding references|embed]] an {{ucfirst:sfn}} 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}}.
==Implementation notes==
These templates use two elements: a [[wikilink]] in the body of the article, and an [[WP:ANCHOR DEF|anchor]] in the reference section of the article. Clicking on the wikilink repositions the page at the anchor.
===Citation template [[HTML element#Links and anchors|anchor]]===
{{See also|Wikipedia:Citation templates and reference anchors}}
The most common citation templates are {{cs1}} or {{cs2}}. By default, [[Module:Citation/CS1]] creates an [[HTML element#Links and anchors|anchor]] {{tag|a|o|params=name="CITEREF"}} followed by the concatenation of the following parameters:
* '''last''' or '''last1''' or '''surname''' or '''surname1''' or '''author-last''' or '''author-last1''' or '''author1-last''' or '''author-surname''' or '''author-surname1''' or '''author1-surname''' or '''author''' or '''author1''' or '''authors''',
* '''last2''' or '''surname2''' or '''author-last2''' or '''author2-last''' or '''author-surname2''' or '''author2-surname''' or '''author2''',
* '''last3''' or '''surname3''' or '''author-last3''' or '''author3-last''' or '''author-surname3''' or '''author3-surname''' or '''author3''',
* '''last4''' or '''surname4''' or '''author-last4''' or '''author4-last''' or '''author-surname4''' or '''author4-surname''' or '''author4''',
* '''editor-last''' or '''editor-last1''' or '''editor1-last''' or '''editor-surname''' or '''editor-surname1''' or '''editor1-surname''' or '''editor1''' or '''editor''',
* '''editor-last2''' or '''editor2-last''' or '''editor-surname2''' or '''editor2-surname''' or '''editor2''',
* '''editor-last3''' or '''editor3-last''' or '''editor-surname3''' or '''editor3-surname''' or '''editor3''',
* '''editor-last4''' or '''editor4-last''' or '''editor-surname4''' or '''editor4-surname''' or '''editor4''',
* '''date''', '''year'''
This covers the most common templates. Information about all of the templates is available at [[Wikipedia:Citation templates and reference anchors]].
Use of the '''date''' parameter in place of the '''year''' parameter in citation templates is preferred.
===Harvard citation wikilink===
The Harvard citation templates create a [[wikilink]] to the anchor. For example {{tlx|Harv|Smith|2006|4=p=25}} produces the link {{code|#CITEREFSmith2006}} and {{tlx|Citation|2=last=Smith|3=first=John|4=date=27 January 2006|5=title=My Life}} produces the anchor {{code|CITEREFSmith2006}}.
===Using CITEREF directly===
{{Shortcut|WP:CITEREF}}
A few articles create a custom ID using {{code|CITEREF}}, either in place of the Harvard citation template (e.g. <code><nowiki>[[#CITEREFSmith2006|(2006)]]</nowiki></code>) or as a value for {{para|ref}} in the citation template.
{{Refname rules|A custom ID must follow these rules:|
* If CITEREF is used, then spaces in the {{para|ref}} field must be replaced with underscores}}
Examples:
* {{tlx|sfn|{{var|cite name}}|{{var|year}}}}
* {{tlx|cite book|2=ref=CITEREF{{var|cite_nameyear}}}}
* {{tlx|cite book|2=ref={{tl|sfnref|{{var|cite_name}}|{{var|year}}}}}}
Where {{var|cite_name}} is a name such as the publisher.
To avoid the sometimes difficult to remember syntax for links to CITEREF anchors, {{tl|citeref}} can be used to create internal wikilinks with either small superscript-style labels (like this<sup>[n]</sup>) or plain free-text labels to such anchors. It can be used inside of other citations.
Note that the {{code|CITEREF}} prefix is necessary for the [[mw:Reference Tooltips|reference tooltips gadget]] ([[MediaWiki:Gadget-ReferenceTooltips.js]]) to detect that a link goes to a citation.
===[[Template:sfn|<code><nowiki>{{sfn}}</nowiki></code>]]'s [[WP:REFNAME|ref name]]===
Template {{tl2|sfn}} creates a [[WP:REFNAME|named footnote]], so that identical footnotes are combined automatically. The footnote name begins with {{code|FOOTNOTE}} followed by a concatenation of the arguments to {{tl2|sfn}}. E.g.: this template call:
* {{tlx|sfn|Smith|2006|4=p=26}}
should have exactly the same functionality as
* {{tag|ref|params=name="FOOTNOTESmith200626"|content={{tl2|Harvnb|Smith|2006|4=p=26}}.}}
which, in turn, has the same functionality as
* {{tag|ref|params=name="FOOTNOTESmith200626"|content=<nowiki>[[#CITEREFSmith2006|Smith (2006)]], p.&nbsp;26.</nowiki>}}.
{{anchor|url weirdness}}
The ref name becomes more complicated when the page (p) parameter includes a URL, e.g. {{tlg|sfn|Joyce|1903|p{{=}}[https://archive.org/details/aconcisehistory00joycgoog/page/n226 213]|code=on}}, which, once defined, can be called by {{tag|ref|empty|params=name="FOOTNOTEJoyce1903[httpsarchiveorgdetailsaconcisehistory00joycgoogpagen226 213]"}}. The "p=" and the characters |,:,.,/,?,=; are therefore stripped out of the URL. The content of the loc parameter is similarly appended after this.
The call to {{tl2|harvnb}} has been [[subst]]'ed for quicker load times.

{{Lua|Module:Footnotes|Module:Check for unknown parameters}}
The '''shortened footnote template''' {{tl|sfn}} creates a short [[WP:Citing sources#Short citations|author–date citation]] in a [[Wikipedia:Citing sources|footnote]], with a one-directional link to the first matching [[Wikipedia:Citation templates|citation template]] on the same page. It will combine identical footnotes automatically.
It is used to create {{sfnote|lc=y}}, a [[WP:CITESTYLE|citation style]] which pairs a short, author-date citation in a footnote with a [[WP:HOWCITE|complete citation]] in the references section at the end of the article (see example [[#Example|below]]). This citation style is used to simplify multiple citations to the same source and to reduce clutter in the edit window.
Common problems and known workarounds are given in the sections below. Use the table of contents to find what you need.
Note that the use (or even non-use) of these templates is an element of citation "style", and adding or removing them in articles with an established style should be consistent with that style. See [[WP:CITEVAR]].
==Usage==
'''Sfn''' generates an "author-date" style short-cite from the following parameters:
<div style="margin-left: 2em"><code>{{<nowiki>sfn</nowiki>| <{{var|last1}}*> | <{{var|last2}}> | <{{var|last3}}> | <{{var|last4}}> | <{{var|year}}*> | p= <{{var|page}}> | loc= <{{var|location}}> }}</code></div>
with
* <{{var|last1}}> – required; surname of first author or corporate author
* <{{var|last2}}>–<{{var|last4}}> – positional parameters; surnames of next three authors; required if available in the full citation
* <{{var|year}}> – required; four-digit year; may have a lowercase disambiguation letter, like {{pval|2012a}}
* {{para|p}} – specific page referenced in the source (alias: {{para|page}}{{hairspace}})
* {{para|pp}} – comma-separated list of [[Template:Csdoc#pages|individual pages and / or range(s) of pages]] referenced in the source (alias: {{para|pages}}{{hairspace}})
* {{para|loc}} – in-source location when {{para|p}} and {{para|pp}} are inappropriate; may be used to supplement {{para|p}} and {{para|pp}}; information such as a section or figure number. (alias: {{para|at}}{{hairspace}})
=== Example ===
Typical usage is shown in the example below. The text and the footnote are connected by a bi-directional link – clicking on the superscript takes the reader to the footnote, clicking on the footnote number takes them back to the superscript. The clicking on the short citation takes them to the full citation in the references section.
'''Sfn''' will also automatically combine identical footnotes.

Template '''sfn''' is not placed inside {{tag|ref}} tags and generates the footnote internally. (To place '''sfn''' in a footnote, see [[#A citation inside an explanatory footnote|putting a citation inside a footnote]], below.)
===Parameters===
====Author(s) and year====
The first four author surnames (or all authors if fewer than four; use the values from {{para|last''N''}} or {{para|author''N''}}{{hairspace}}) are required, followed by the year of publication (from {{para|year}} or {{para|date}}). Authors past the fourth must be omitted or an error will result.
The [[#Possible issues with author-date link|possible issues]] section below describes workarounds for various common problems, such as [[#Large number of authors|large number of authors]], [[#No author name in citation template|no author name]], [[#More than one work in a year|multiple works in the same year]], [[#Two sources with same last names and years|Two sources with same last names and years]] and others.

Use {{para|p}} for single pages; use {{para|pp}} for multiple pages (such as ranges). Use of {{para|p}} for multiple pages or {{para|pp}} for single pages can cause [[Help:Cite errors/Cite error references duplicate key|cite errors]].
{{para|loc}} can be used to specify a location in the source in another way, such as section numbers or chapters. It can also be combined with {{para|p}} or {{para|pp}}.

==Possible issues with author-date link==
{{for|information on how to turn on error messages for broken links|:Category:Harv and Sfn template errors}}
These are techniques that address various unusual difficulties with the link between the short citation and the full citation.
Templates that have broken [[wikilink]]s using these templates are added to the category {{cat|All articles with broken links to citations}}.
===Wikilink to citation does not work===
If an article is using this template and nothing happens when you click on the highlighted [[wikilink]] from the [[WP:SHORTCITE|short citation]] to the [[WP:SHORTCITE|full citation]] at the bottom of the page, there are several possible solutions. If:
# Templates like this one are rarely used in this article. '''Solution''': Remove this template and format the citation in the style used most often in the article.
# The correct full citation does ''not'' appear at the bottom of the article. '''Solution''': Find the source (it may be copied from an article on a similar subject), and check that it verifies the text. If the source can't be found, replace this template with {{tl2|citation not found}}.
# The correct full citation appears at the bottom of the article, and
## The full citation uses a template from the list at [[Help:Citation Style 1|Citation Style 1]]:
### The citation template has only {{para|author}} and this template uses the last name. '''Solution''': Either (a) split the author name in to {{para|last}} and {{para|first}} in the full citation or (b) use the full name in the short citation. Be careful in either case to be consistent with the other citations in the article.
### The name in the short citation is spelled or capitalized differently than in the full citation. '''Solution''': Check the source for the correct spelling, and use the same spelling, spacing, and capitalization in both the short and full citations.
### There is more than one full citation with the same last name and year. '''Solution''': See [[#More than one work in a year|§More than one work in a year]] or [[#Two sources with same last names and years|§Two sources with same last names and years]].
### The year is different here than the full citation. '''Solution''': Check the source for the correct year, and use the same year in both the short and full citations.
### The template has a {{para|date}} field and no {{para|year}} field, but the format of the {{para|date}} field is unusual. '''Solution''': Try to fix the date. If the link still does not work, add {{para|year}} to the citation template. (It's okay if it has both.)
### The template does not have a year, or the date is set to "n.d." (no date). '''Solution''': Set the year field of this template to "n.d.".
### The template does not have an author's or an editor's, last name (authors take precedence over editors). '''Solution''': See [[#Citation template has no author name|§Citation template has no author name]], below.
### The template has no author, date or title. '''Solution''': See [[#Citation template has no author, date or title|§Citation template has no author, date or title]]
##Find the citation template in [[Wikipedia:Citation templates and reference anchors#Citation templates that create anchors|WP:Citation templates and anchors]] and find out if it has support for an anchor.
### The citation template doesn't automatically create the anchor, but has {{para|ref}}. '''Solution''': See [[#Citation template doesn't create a compatible anchor but has %7Cref=|§Citation template doesn't create a compatible anchor but has {{para|ref}}]], below.
### The citation template doesn't support anchors at all. '''Solution''': See [[#Citation template does not support any kind of anchor|§Citation format does not support any kind of anchor]], below.
##The full citation is handwritten.
### There are no other citation templates in the article. This is probably because local editors prefer it that way. '''Solution''': You should adapt to the style of the article. This would probably entail removing this template and formatting the short citation in plain text or replacing it with a full citation in {{tag|ref}} tags.
### There are citation templates used liberally throughout the article. '''Solution''': Reformat the source with the appropriate {{cite *}} template (and set the {{para|ref}} appropriately, if necessary).
### No appropriate template can be found. '''Solution''': See [[#No citation template|§No citation template]], below.
===Custom anchors===
A custom anchor using {{tl|sfnref}} can, at least temporarily, always make the shortened footnote look exactly the way you would like and still have a link that works. Many of the problems and workarounds below require a custom anchor.
All CS1 citation templates and several other templates allow you to set a custom anchor with parameter {{para|ref}}. The template {{tl|sfnRef}} creates an anchor that will match {{tl|sfn}}'s if it has the same parameters as {{tl|sfn}}. To use this technique, choose the name and year you would like to appear in {{tl|sfn}}, copy these parameters into {{tl|sfnRef}} and set {{tl|ref}} to the {{tl|sfnRef}}.
In other words, if you want this:
* {{tl2|sfn|<*''name you want''>|<''year''>|<''page / location''>}}
then set this:
* {{para|ref|{{tl2|sfnRef|<''name you want''>|<''year''>}}}}
in the template, and the link should work correctly.
The parameters must be <em>identical</em> in every respect. If the year is unusual (i.e. not a number), then include the year in the name and don't use the year position.
===Large number of authors===
If there are more than four authors, the first four authors' surnames (the value in {{para|last}} or {{para|author}}) are required by the template. Listing more authors is not supported. It is also possible to use a [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]] that sets the name field to "Smith et. al.".

}}}}
===More than one work in a year===
Where there is a need to cite more than one work ''by the same author published in the same year'', the standard way to disambiguate such works is to add a letter suffix after the year, e.g. "Smith 2006a" and "Smith 2006b".
Set the year element of the {{tlc|sfn}} templates (e.g. {{tlc|sfn|Smith|2006a}} and {{tlc|sfn|Smith|2006a}}), and add the disambiguation letter to the matching full citation, (e.g. <code><nowiki>{{cite book|...|last=Smith|date=2006b}}</nowiki></code>).
When {{tlc|sfn}} is used with {{tlx|citation}} or {{cs1}} templates, a year-suffix letter may be added to {{para|date}} for all accepted date formats except year-initial numeric ({{small|YYYY-MM-DD}}). It is not necessary to include both {{para|date}} and {{para|year}} (see exception [[#NB_YEAR|below]]). If both are included, {{para|year}} is used for the <code>CITEREF</code> anchor to be compliant with legacy citations.
:{{para|date|2013a}}: simple year only dates
:{{para|date|Jan 2013b}} or {{para|date|Winter 2013b}}: month or season and year dates
:{{para|date|9 November 2013b}} or {{para|date|November 9, 2013b}}: full dates
:{{para|date|June–July 2013c}} or {{para|date|Winter–Spring 2013c}}: month or season ranges and year dates
:{{para|date|c. 2013d}}: circa year dates
:{{para|date|{{#time:Y}}–{{#time:Y|now +1 year}}e}} or {{para|date|Summer {{#time:Y}}–{{#time:y|now +1 year}}e}}: year ranges
:{{para|date|n.d.f}}: no date (n.d.)
:{{anchor|NB_YEAR}}<s>{{para|date|2013g-11-09}}</s>: not supported, the template must use {{para|year|2013g}}. If month and day should be part of the citation as well, both parameters need to be given: {{para|date|2013-11-09}} {{para|year|2013x}}. In this case, {{para|date}} is used for citation display and metadata purposes, and {{para|year}} for link disambiguation.

===Two sources with same last names and years ===
An article might cite works from the same year by two different authors with the same last name. For example, an article might cite psychoanalysts [[Anna Freud]] and [[Sigmund Freud]], who both wrote books in the same year.
There are two solutions: it's possible to use the same technique described in the previous section. To differentiate between the two books, the first one can be given the year "1928a" and the second one "1928b".
Or, you can create a [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]] that adds an initial to the name fields, e.g. "A. Freud" and "S. Freud". The links will no longer conflict.

===Citation template has no year but has a date===
Either the {{para|date}} or {{para|year}} of a citation template can be matched—the template logic can extract the year from a full date. If the date parameter is not a full date, then the extraction will fail. If the link does not seem to work, it also possible to set both {{para|date}} and {{para|year}} parameters. The template will display the date and use the year for the anchor. These two examples show a year being successfully extracted from full date.

===Citation template has no date===
If the cited source does not have a date, you can use {{para|date|n.d.}} for the full citation and "n.d." in place of the date for the short citation:
{{markup
|<nowiki>This is a fact.{{sfn|Smith|n.d.}}
==Notes==
{{reflist}}
==References==
* {{Citation |last=Smith |title=Title |date=n.d. |publisher=Publisher |mode=cs1}}</nowiki>

{{fake heading|sub=3|Notes}}
{{reflist}}
{{fake heading|sub=3|References}}
* {{Citation |last=Smith |title=Title |date=n.d. |publisher=Publisher |mode=cs1}}
}}
===Citation template has no author name===
Some sources do not have a single author with a last name, such as a magazine article or a report from a government institution. There is no consensus (in Wikipedia or among citation styles) about how to format author–date citations for works that do not have a specific author. Several choices are:
# The title of the article, or a shortened form of the title, is recommended by some style guides.
# For a newspaper or periodical, you may use the name of the paper and the date.
# For a publication by an institution, use either:
## The initials of the institution
## The name of the institution
# Other style guides recommend using "Anonymous" or "Anon."
An article should adopt one of these styles consistently.
Use a [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]] to replace set the author name to one of these other choices, as shown in these examples below.

=== Citation template has no author, date or title ===
If the cited source does not have a date, author, or title, place a description of the source within brackets for the {{para|title}} parameter, use {{para|date|n.d.}} and create [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]] with the description in the name position and "n.d." in the year.

{{See section|Wikipedia:Citation templates and reference anchors|Citation templates that create anchors}}
Some templates, such as {{tl|cite comic}}, {{tl|cite thesis}} and {{tl|cite map}} use the parameter {{para|ref}} to create an anchor for the short citation. This can be used to set a [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]] for {{tl|sfn}}

You could also use CITEREF directly with a concatenation of <code>#CITEREF</code> plus the parameters passed to the Harvard citation template.
===Citation template does not support any kind of anchor===
{{See section|Wikipedia:Citation templates and reference anchors|Citation templates that create anchors}}
There are a few templates that do not support any kind of anchor, including {{tl|cite report}}, {{tl|cite music release notes}}, {{tl|cite DVD-notes}}, {{tl|cite episode}} and others.
It is possible to use {{tl|wikicite}} to create an anchor. It has a {{para|ref}} parameter which can be set to a [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]]. In this example, the publisher is considered the editor.

===No citation template ===
If the citation is handwritten you should consider the citation format of the article. If citation templates are used often in this article, then check [[WP:Citation templates]] and try to find one that works for this source. If no template can be found, then this may be a source which can't be represented in our citation templates.
Use {{tl2|wikicite}} to make an anchor, setting Wikicite's {{para|ref}} to a [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]].

== Techniques and variations ==
{{anchor|Additional comments or quotes}}
=== Adding additional comments or quotes ===
The templates {{tl2|harvnb}} or {{tl2|harvtxt}} can be used to add quotes or additional comments into the footnote, in the form of in-text attributions.
{{markup
|<nowiki>
Some information.<ref>{{harvnb|Smith|2011|p=2}}: "A quote verifying the information."</ref>
== Notes ==
{{reflist}}

{{Fake heading|sub=3|Notes}}
{{reflist}}
}}
===Adding a URL for the page or location===
If a specific link to the page or section is available, a [[Uniform Resource Locator|URL]] can be added to the location or page number.
{{markup
|<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">Article text.{{sfn|Smith|2011|p=[https://en.wikipedia.org 3]}}
Other article text.{{sfn|Smith|2011|loc=[https://en.wikipedia.org §7]}}
==Notes==
{{reflist}}
==References==
* {{cite book | last = Smith | date = 2011 | title = Smith's

|* {{cite book | last = Smith | date = 2011 | title = Smith's book }}
}}}}
(See [[#url weirdness|below]] for a potential issue with this technique.)
===Citations inside explanatory footnotes===
Sometimes an explanatory footnote requires a citation. There are several acceptable solutions.
It is currently disputed (June 2026) whether parenthetical referencing (or narrative referencing, i.e. in-text attribution serving as referencing) is deprecated inside {{tag|ref}} tags used for explanatory footnotes.
Citations using {{tl1|sfn}} can't be directly embedded between {{tag|ref}} tags, because the following message will be produced: {{small|{{error|Cite error references missing group||nocat=true}}}}. But {{tl1|sfn}} can be used with templates {{tl1|efn}} and {{tl1|notelist}}, which separates the explanatory footnotes from the short citations, as shown in this example. (See also [[Chinese Room]], which is an article that makes extensive use of this technique.)

===Multiple lists of inline citations===
Sometimes there is a need to create two or more separate lists of inline footnotes. For example some family trees are contained in templates, they are transluded into several biographies, and they have their own self contained citations (see [[Template:Houston family tree]] and the article [[Margaret Lea Houston]]).
To facilitate this, while the main page uses the standard 1,2,3 footnote counting, it is common for family trees to use the efn template with a group parameter set—for example {{tlx|efn-lg}} (lower-greek). The efn templates are text templates, to link some or all of the content of the efn template to a long citation template such as {{tlx|cite book}} place {{tlx|harvnb}} or {{tlx|harv}} within the efn template.

{{anchor|Ps problems}}
== Open problems ==
=== Discouraged parameters ===
These parameters were designed to handle special cases that are better handled by other techniques.
====Parameter {{para|ps}}====
These templates have a parameter {{para|ps}}, designed to hold quotes and explanations.
Two or more {{tlc|sfn}} templates with the same authors, same year, and same page, but different {{para|ps}} will result in a {{small|{{error|Cite error: The named reference ... was defined multiple times with different content}}}} message. This message happens because the reference names that {{tlc|sfn}} creates will be the same, but the content between the {{tag|ref|params=name="FOOTNOTE..."|o}} tag and the {{tag|ref|c}} tag will be different.
A workaround is to convert the offending {{tlc|sfn}} templates to {{tlx|harvnb}} wrapped in {{tag|ref}} tags, as recommended in [[#Additional comments or quotes|§ Adding additional comments or quotes]]. This method is more versatile and robust.
Template {{para|ps}} also has a second (rare) use, when setting {{para|ps|none}}, which suppressed the final period. See [[#Variations in the format of the author-date citation|§ Variations in the format of the author-date citation]].
====Parameter {{para|ref}}====
The optional parameter {{para|ref}} was used to create an unusually named link from the short citation to the full citation. This typically would require setting the hand coded link on the full citation as well. It's easier to only set the link of the full citation to {{para|ref|{{tl2|sfnref}}}}.
If you specify {{para|ref|none}}, no hyperlink is created. However, if one does not want the link, it is always possible to simply use plain text instead of the template.
The parameter only appears in <nowiki>{{harv*}}</nowiki> templates, and may still appear in a few articles.
===Link works but displays a no target error===
When a short-cite template links to a full citation that is rendered by a template that wraps a CS1 template, like {{txl|cite DNB}} (which wraps {{txl|cite encyclopedia}}), a {{error-small|no target}} error may be displayed even when the short-cite template is valid and the link works. That is a "false positive" error. The error message can be suppressed by adding {{para|ignore-err|yes}} to the template, or by adding the template {{t|Sfn whitelist}} with the anchor ID(s) to the article. If you are testing changes in [[Special:ExpandTemplates]] and the error message cannot be suppressed, try testing in a sandbox or user subpage instead.
==={{ucfirst:sfn}} embedded in list-defined ref does not work===
If you [[Help:Footnotes#embedding references|embed]] an {{ucfirst:sfn}} 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}}.
==Implementation notes==
These templates use two elements: a [[wikilink]] in the body of the article, and an [[WP:ANCHOR DEF|anchor]] in the reference section of the article. Clicking on the wikilink repositions the page at the anchor.
===Citation template [[HTML element#Links and anchors|anchor]]===
{{See also|Wikipedia:Citation templates and reference anchors}}
The most common citation templates are {{cs1}} or {{cs2}}. By default, [[Module:Citation/CS1]] creates an [[HTML element#Links and anchors|anchor]] {{tag|a|o|params=name="CITEREF"}} followed by the concatenation of the following parameters:
* '''last''' or '''last1''' or '''surname''' or '''surname1''' or '''author-last''' or '''author-last1''' or '''author1-last''' or '''author-surname''' or '''author-surname1''' or '''author1-surname''' or '''author''' or '''author1''' or '''authors''',
* '''last2''' or '''surname2''' or '''author-last2''' or '''author2-last''' or '''author-surname2''' or '''author2-surname''' or '''author2''',
* '''last3''' or '''surname3''' or '''author-last3''' or '''author3-last''' or '''author-surname3''' or '''author3-surname''' or '''author3''',
* '''last4''' or '''surname4''' or '''author-last4''' or '''author4-last''' or '''author-surname4''' or '''author4-surname''' or '''author4''',
* '''editor-last''' or '''editor-last1''' or '''editor1-last''' or '''editor-surname''' or '''editor-surname1''' or '''editor1-surname''' or '''editor1''' or '''editor''',
* '''editor-last2''' or '''editor2-last''' or '''editor-surname2''' or '''editor2-surname''' or '''editor2''',
* '''editor-last3''' or '''editor3-last''' or '''editor-surname3''' or '''editor3-surname''' or '''editor3''',
* '''editor-last4''' or '''editor4-last''' or '''editor-surname4''' or '''editor4-surname''' or '''editor4''',
* '''date''', '''year'''
This covers the most common templates. Information about all of the templates is available at [[Wikipedia:Citation templates and reference anchors]].
Use of the '''date''' parameter in place of the '''year''' parameter in citation templates is preferred.
===Harvard citation wikilink===
The Harvard citation templates create a [[wikilink]] to the anchor. For example {{tlx|Harv|Smith|2006|4=p=25}} produces the link {{code|#CITEREFSmith2006}} and {{tlx|Citation|2=last=Smith|3=first=John|4=date=27 January 2006|5=title=My Life}} produces the anchor {{code|CITEREFSmith2006}}.
===Using CITEREF directly===
{{Shortcut|WP:CITEREF}}
A few articles create a custom ID using {{code|CITEREF}}, either in place of the Harvard citation template (e.g. <code><nowiki>[[#CITEREFSmith2006|(2006)]]</nowiki></code>) or as a value for {{para|ref}} in the citation template.
{{Refname rules|A custom ID must follow these rules:|
* If CITEREF is used, then spaces in the {{para|ref}} field must be replaced with underscores}}
Examples:
* {{tlx|sfn|{{var|cite name}}|{{var|year}}}}
* {{tlx|cite book|2=ref=CITEREF{{var|cite_nameyear}}}}
* {{tlx|cite book|2=ref={{tl|sfnref|{{var|cite_name}}|{{var|year}}}}}}
Where {{var|cite_name}} is a name such as the publisher.
To avoid the sometimes difficult to remember syntax for links to CITEREF anchors, {{tl|citeref}} can be used to create internal wikilinks with either small superscript-style labels (like this<sup>[n]</sup>) or plain free-text labels to such anchors. It can be used inside of other citations.
Note that the {{code|CITEREF}} prefix is necessary for the [[mw:Reference Tooltips|reference tooltips gadget]] ([[MediaWiki:Gadget-ReferenceTooltips.js]]) to detect that a link goes to a citation.
===[[Template:sfn|<code><nowiki>{{sfn}}</nowiki></code>]]'s [[WP:REFNAME|ref name]]===
Template {{tl2|sfn}} creates a [[WP:REFNAME|named footnote]], so that identical footnotes are combined automatically. The footnote name begins with {{code|FOOTNOTE}} followed by a concatenation of the arguments to {{tl2|sfn}}. E.g.: this template call:
* {{tlx|sfn|Smith|2006|4=p=26}}
should have exactly the same functionality as
* {{tag|ref|params=name="FOOTNOTESmith200626"|content={{tl2|Harvnb|Smith|2006|4=p=26}}.}}
which, in turn, has the same functionality as
* {{tag|ref|params=name="FOOTNOTESmith200626"|content=<nowiki>[[#CITEREFSmith2006|Smith (2006)]], p.&nbsp;26.</nowiki>}}.
{{anchor|url weirdness}}
The ref name becomes more complicated when the page (p) parameter includes a URL, e.g. {{tlg|sfn|Joyce|1903|p{{=}}[https://archive.org/details/aconcisehistory00joycgoog/page/n226 213]|code=on}}, which, once defined, can be called by {{tag|ref|empty|params=name="FOOTNOTEJoyce1903[httpsarchiveorgdetailsaconcisehistory00joycgoogpagen226 213]"}}. The "p=" and the characters |,:,.,/,?,=; are therefore stripped out of the URL. The content of the loc parameter is similarly appended after this.
The call to {{tl2|harvnb}} has been [[subst]]'ed for quicker load times.

{{Lua|Module:Footnotes|Module:Check for unknown parameters}}
The '''shortened footnote template''' {{tl|sfn}} creates a short [[WP:Citing sources#Short citations|author–date citation]] in a [[Wikipedia:Citing sources|footnote]], with a one-directional link to the first matching [[Wikipedia:Citation templates|citation template]] on the same page. It will combine identical footnotes automatically.
It is used to create {{sfnote|lc=y}}, a [[WP:CITESTYLE|citation style]] which pairs a short, author-date citation in a footnote with a [[WP:HOWCITE|complete citation]] in the references section at the end of the article (see example [[#Example|below]]). This citation style is used to simplify multiple citations to the same source and to reduce clutter in the edit window.
Common problems and known workarounds are given in the sections below. Use the table of contents to find what you need.
Note that the use (or even non-use) of these templates is an element of citation "style", and adding or removing them in articles with an established style should be consistent with that style. See [[WP:CITEVAR]].
==Usage==
'''Sfn''' generates an "author-date" style short-cite from the following parameters:
<div style="margin-left: 2em"><code>{{<nowiki>sfn</nowiki>| <{{var|last1}}*> | <{{var|last2}}> | <{{var|last3}}> | <{{var|last4}}> | <{{var|year}}*> | p= <{{var|page}}> | loc= <{{var|location}}> }}</code></div>
with
* <{{var|last1}}> – required; surname of first author or corporate author
* <{{var|last2}}>–<{{var|last4}}> – positional parameters; surnames of next three authors; required if available in the full citation
* <{{var|year}}> – required; four-digit year; may have a lowercase disambiguation letter, like {{pval|2012a}}
* {{para|p}} – specific page referenced in the source (alias: {{para|page}}{{hairspace}})
* {{para|pp}} – comma-separated list of [[Template:Csdoc#pages|individual pages and / or range(s) of pages]] referenced in the source (alias: {{para|pages}}{{hairspace}})
* {{para|loc}} – in-source location when {{para|p}} and {{para|pp}} are inappropriate; may be used to supplement {{para|p}} and {{para|pp}}; information such as a section or figure number. (alias: {{para|at}}{{hairspace}})
=== Example ===
Typical usage is shown in the example below. The text and the footnote are connected by a bi-directional link – clicking on the superscript takes the reader to the footnote, clicking on the footnote number takes them back to the superscript. The clicking on the short citation takes them to the full citation in the references section.
'''Sfn''' will also automatically combine identical footnotes.

Template '''sfn''' is not placed inside {{tag|ref}} tags and generates the footnote internally. (To place '''sfn''' in a footnote, see [[#A citation inside an explanatory footnote|putting a citation inside a footnote]], below.)
===Parameters===
====Author(s) and year====
The first four author surnames (or all authors if fewer than four; use the values from {{para|last''N''}} or {{para|author''N''}}{{hairspace}}) are required, followed by the year of publication (from {{para|year}} or {{para|date}}). Authors past the fourth must be omitted or an error will result.
The [[#Possible issues with author-date link|possible issues]] section below describes workarounds for various common problems, such as [[#Large number of authors|large number of authors]], [[#No author name in citation template|no author name]], [[#More than one work in a year|multiple works in the same year]], [[#Two sources with same last names and years|Two sources with same last names and years]] and others.

Use {{para|p}} for single pages; use {{para|pp}} for multiple pages (such as ranges). Use of {{para|p}} for multiple pages or {{para|pp}} for single pages can cause [[Help:Cite errors/Cite error references duplicate key|cite errors]].
{{para|loc}} can be used to specify a location in the source in another way, such as section numbers or chapters. It can also be combined with {{para|p}} or {{para|pp}}.

==Possible issues with author-date link==
{{for|information on how to turn on error messages for broken links|:Category:Harv and Sfn template errors}}
These are techniques that address various unusual difficulties with the link between the short citation and the full citation.
Templates that have broken [[wikilink]]s using these templates are added to the category {{cat|All articles with broken links to citations}}.
===Wikilink to citation does not work===
If an article is using this template and nothing happens when you click on the highlighted [[wikilink]] from the [[WP:SHORTCITE|short citation]] to the [[WP:SHORTCITE|full citation]] at the bottom of the page, there are several possible solutions. If:
# Templates like this one are rarely used in this article. '''Solution''': Remove this template and format the citation in the style used most often in the article.
# The correct full citation does ''not'' appear at the bottom of the article. '''Solution''': Find the source (it may be copied from an article on a similar subject), and check that it verifies the text. If the source can't be found, replace this template with {{tl2|citation not found}}.
# The correct full citation appears at the bottom of the article, and
## The full citation uses a template from the list at [[Help:Citation Style 1|Citation Style 1]]:
### The citation template has only {{para|author}} and this template uses the last name. '''Solution''': Either (a) split the author name in to {{para|last}} and {{para|first}} in the full citation or (b) use the full name in the short citation. Be careful in either case to be consistent with the other citations in the article.
### The name in the short citation is spelled or capitalized differently than in the full citation. '''Solution''': Check the source for the correct spelling, and use the same spelling, spacing, and capitalization in both the short and full citations.
### There is more than one full citation with the same last name and year. '''Solution''': See [[#More than one work in a year|§More than one work in a year]] or [[#Two sources with same last names and years|§Two sources with same last names and years]].
### The year is different here than the full citation. '''Solution''': Check the source for the correct year, and use the same year in both the short and full citations.
### The template has a {{para|date}} field and no {{para|year}} field, but the format of the {{para|date}} field is unusual. '''Solution''': Try to fix the date. If the link still does not work, add {{para|year}} to the citation template. (It's okay if it has both.)
### The template does not have a year, or the date is set to "n.d." (no date). '''Solution''': Set the year field of this template to "n.d.".
### The template does not have an author's or an editor's, last name (authors take precedence over editors). '''Solution''': See [[#Citation template has no author name|§Citation template has no author name]], below.
### The template has no author, date or title. '''Solution''': See [[#Citation template has no author, date or title|§Citation template has no author, date or title]]
##Find the citation template in [[Wikipedia:Citation templates and reference anchors#Citation templates that create anchors|WP:Citation templates and anchors]] and find out if it has support for an anchor.
### The citation template doesn't automatically create the anchor, but has {{para|ref}}. '''Solution''': See [[#Citation template doesn't create a compatible anchor but has %7Cref=|§Citation template doesn't create a compatible anchor but has {{para|ref}}]], below.
### The citation template doesn't support anchors at all. '''Solution''': See [[#Citation template does not support any kind of anchor|§Citation format does not support any kind of anchor]], below.
##The full citation is handwritten.
### There are no other citation templates in the article. This is probably because local editors prefer it that way. '''Solution''': You should adapt to the style of the article. This would probably entail removing this template and formatting the short citation in plain text or replacing it with a full citation in {{tag|ref}} tags.
### There are citation templates used liberally throughout the article. '''Solution''': Reformat the source with the appropriate {{cite *}} template (and set the {{para|ref}} appropriately, if necessary).
### No appropriate template can be found. '''Solution''': See [[#No citation template|§No citation template]], below.
===Custom anchors===
A custom anchor using {{tl|sfnref}} can, at least temporarily, always make the shortened footnote look exactly the way you would like and still have a link that works. Many of the problems and workarounds below require a custom anchor.
All CS1 citation templates and several other templates allow you to set a custom anchor with parameter {{para|ref}}. The template {{tl|sfnRef}} creates an anchor that will match {{tl|sfn}}'s if it has the same parameters as {{tl|sfn}}. To use this technique, choose the name and year you would like to appear in {{tl|sfn}}, copy these parameters into {{tl|sfnRef}} and set {{tl|ref}} to the {{tl|sfnRef}}.
In other words, if you want this:
* {{tl2|sfn|<*''name you want''>|<''year''>|<''page / location''>}}
then set this:
* {{para|ref|{{tl2|sfnRef|<''name you want''>|<''year''>}}}}
in the template, and the link should work correctly.
The parameters must be <em>identical</em> in every respect. If the year is unusual (i.e. not a number), then include the year in the name and don't use the year position.
===Large number of authors===
If there are more than four authors, the first four authors' surnames (the value in {{para|last}} or {{para|author}}) are required by the template. Listing more authors is not supported. It is also possible to use a [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]] that sets the name field to "Smith et. al.".

}}}}
===More than one work in a year===
Where there is a need to cite more than one work ''by the same author published in the same year'', the standard way to disambiguate such works is to add a letter suffix after the year, e.g. "Smith 2006a" and "Smith 2006b".
Set the year element of the {{tlc|sfn}} templates (e.g. {{tlc|sfn|Smith|2006a}} and {{tlc|sfn|Smith|2006a}}), and add the disambiguation letter to the matching full citation, (e.g. <code><nowiki>{{cite book|...|last=Smith|date=2006b}}</nowiki></code>).
When {{tlc|sfn}} is used with {{tlx|citation}} or {{cs1}} templates, a year-suffix letter may be added to {{para|date}} for all accepted date formats except year-initial numeric ({{small|YYYY-MM-DD}}). It is not necessary to include both {{para|date}} and {{para|year}} (see exception [[#NB_YEAR|below]]). If both are included, {{para|year}} is used for the <code>CITEREF</code> anchor to be compliant with legacy citations.
:{{para|date|2013a}}: simple year only dates
:{{para|date|Jan 2013b}} or {{para|date|Winter 2013b}}: month or season and year dates
:{{para|date|9 November 2013b}} or {{para|date|November 9, 2013b}}: full dates
:{{para|date|June–July 2013c}} or {{para|date|Winter–Spring 2013c}}: month or season ranges and year dates
:{{para|date|c. 2013d}}: circa year dates
:{{para|date|{{#time:Y}}–{{#time:Y|now +1 year}}e}} or {{para|date|Summer {{#time:Y}}–{{#time:y|now +1 year}}e}}: year ranges
:{{para|date|n.d.f}}: no date (n.d.)
:{{anchor|NB_YEAR}}<s>{{para|date|2013g-11-09}}</s>: not supported, the template must use {{para|year|2013g}}. If month and day should be part of the citation as well, both parameters need to be given: {{para|date|2013-11-09}} {{para|year|2013x}}. In this case, {{para|date}} is used for citation display and metadata purposes, and {{para|year}} for link disambiguation.

===Two sources with same last names and years ===
An article might cite works from the same year by two different authors with the same last name. For example, an article might cite psychoanalysts [[Anna Freud]] and [[Sigmund Freud]], who both wrote books in the same year.
There are two solutions: it's possible to use the same technique described in the previous section. To differentiate between the two books, the first one can be given the year "1928a" and the second one "1928b".
Or, you can create a [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]] that adds an initial to the name fields, e.g. "A. Freud" and "S. Freud". The links will no longer conflict.
{{markup

===Citation template has no year but has a date===
Either the {{para|date}} or {{para|year}} of a citation template can be matched—the template logic can extract the year from a full date. If the date parameter is not a full date, then the extraction will fail. If the link does not seem to work, it also possible to set both {{para|date}} and {{para|year}} parameters. The template will display the date and use the year for the anchor. These two examples show a year being successfully extracted from full date.

===Citation template has no date===
If the cited source does not have a date, you can use {{para|date|n.d.}} for the full citation and "n.d." in place of the date for the short citation:
{{markup
|<nowiki>This is a fact.{{sfn|Smith|n.d.}}
==Notes==
{{reflist}}
==References==
* {{Citation |last=Smith |title=Title |date=n.d. |publisher=Publisher |mode=cs1}}</nowiki>

{{fake heading|sub=3|Notes}}
{{reflist}}
{{fake heading|sub=3|References}}
* {{Citation |last=Smith |title=Title |date=n.d. |publisher=Publisher |mode=cs1}}
}}
===Citation template has no author name===
Some sources do not have a single author with a last name, such as a magazine article or a report from a government institution. There is no consensus (in Wikipedia or among citation styles) about how to format author–date citations for works that do not have a specific author. Several choices are:
# The title of the article, or a shortened form of the title, is recommended by some style guides.
# For a newspaper or periodical, you may use the name of the paper and the date.
# For a publication by an institution, use either:
## The initials of the institution
## The name of the institution
# Other style guides recommend using "Anonymous" or "Anon."
An article should adopt one of these styles consistently.
Use a [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]] to replace set the author name to one of these other choices, as shown in these examples below.

=== Citation template has no author, date or title ===
If the cited source does not have a date, author, or title, place a description of the source within brackets for the {{para|title}} parameter, use {{para|date|n.d.}} and create [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]] with the description in the name position and "n.d." in the year.

{{See section|Wikipedia:Citation templates and reference anchors|Citation templates that create anchors}}
Some templates, such as {{tl|cite comic}}, {{tl|cite thesis}} and {{tl|cite map}} use the parameter {{para|ref}} to create an anchor for the short citation. This can be used to set a [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]] for {{tl|sfn}}

You could also use CITEREF directly with a concatenation of <code>#CITEREF</code> plus the parameters passed to the Harvard citation template.
===Citation template does not support any kind of anchor===
{{See section|Wikipedia:Citation templates and reference anchors|Citation templates that create anchors}}
There are a few templates that do not support any kind of anchor, including {{tl|cite report}}, {{tl|cite music release notes}}, {{tl|cite DVD-notes}}, {{tl|cite episode}} and others.
It is possible to use {{tl|wikicite}} to create an anchor. It has a {{para|ref}} parameter which can be set to a [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]]. In this example, the publisher is considered the editor.

===No citation template ===
If the citation is handwritten you should consider the citation format of the article. If citation templates are used often in this article, then check [[WP:Citation templates]] and try to find one that works for this source. If no template can be found, then this may be a source which can't be represented in our citation templates.
Use {{tl2|wikicite}} to make an anchor, setting Wikicite's {{para|ref}} to a [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]].

== Techniques and variations ==
{{anchor|Additional comments or quotes}}
=== Adding additional comments or quotes ===
The templates {{tl2|harvnb}} or {{tl2|harvtxt}} can be used to add quotes or additional comments into the footnote, in the form of in-text attributions.
{{markup
|<nowiki>
Some information.<ref>{{harvnb|Smith|2011|p=2}}: "A quote verifying the information."</ref>
== Notes ==
{{reflist}}

{{Fake heading|sub=3|Notes}}
{{reflist}}
}}
===Adding a URL for the page or location===
If a specific link to the page or section is available, a [[Uniform Resource Locator|URL]] can be added to the location or page number.
{{markup
|<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">Article text.{{sfn|Smith|2011|p=[https://en.wikipedia.org 3]}}
Other article text.{{sfn|Smith|2011|loc=[https://en.wikipedia.org §7]}}
==Notes==
{{reflist}}
==References==
* {{cite book | last = Smith | date = 2011 | title = Smith's

|* {{cite book | last = Smith | date = 2011 | title = Smith's book }}
}}}}
(See [[#url weirdness|below]] for a potential issue with this technique.)
===Citations inside explanatory footnotes===
Sometimes an explanatory footnote requires a citation. There are several acceptable solutions.
It is currently disputed (June 2026) whether parenthetical referencing (or narrative referencing, i.e. in-text attribution serving as referencing) is deprecated inside {{tag|ref}} tags used for explanatory footnotes.
Citations using {{tl1|sfn}} can't be directly embedded between {{tag|ref}} tags, because the following message will be produced: {{small|{{error|Cite error references missing group||nocat=true}}}}. But {{tl1|sfn}} can be used with templates {{tl1|efn}} and {{tl1|notelist}}, which separates the explanatory footnotes from the short citations, as shown in this example. (See also [[Chinese Room]], which is an article that makes extensive use of this technique.)

===Multiple lists of inline citations===
Sometimes there is a need to create two or more separate lists of inline footnotes. For example some family trees are contained in templates, they are transluded into several biographies, and they have their own self contained citations (see [[Template:Houston family tree]] and the article [[Margaret Lea Houston]]).
To facilitate this, while the main page uses the standard 1,2,3 footnote counting, it is common for family trees to use the efn template with a group parameter set—for example {{tlx|efn-lg}} (lower-greek). The efn templates are text templates, to link some or all of the content of the efn template to a long citation template such as {{tlx|cite book}} place {{tlx|harvnb}} or {{tlx|harv}} within the efn template.

{{anchor|Ps problems}}
== Open problems ==
=== Discouraged parameters ===
These parameters were designed to handle special cases that are better handled by other techniques.
====Parameter {{para|ps}}====
These templates have a parameter {{para|ps}}, designed to hold quotes and explanations.
Two or more {{tlc|sfn}} templates with the same authors, same year, and same page, but different {{para|ps}} will result in a {{small|{{error|Cite error: The named reference ... was defined multiple times with different content}}}} message. This message happens because the reference names that {{tlc|sfn}} creates will be the same, but the content between the {{tag|ref|params=name="FOOTNOTE..."|o}} tag and the {{tag|ref|c}} tag will be different.
A workaround is to convert the offending {{tlc|sfn}} templates to {{tlx|harvnb}} wrapped in {{tag|ref}} tags, as recommended in [[#Additional comments or quotes|§ Adding additional comments or quotes]]. This method is more versatile and robust.
Template {{para|ps}} also has a second (rare) use, when setting {{para|ps|none}}, which suppressed the final period. See [[#Variations in the format of the author-date citation|§ Variations in the format of the author-date citation]].
====Parameter {{para|ref}}====
The optional parameter {{para|ref}} was used to create an unusually named link from the short citation to the full citation. This typically would require setting the hand coded link on the full citation as well. It's easier to only set the link of the full citation to {{para|ref|{{tl2|sfnref}}}}.
If you specify {{para|ref|none}}, no hyperlink is created. However, if one does not want the link, it is always possible to simply use plain text instead of the template.
The parameter only appears in <nowiki>{{harv*}}</nowiki> templates, and may still appear in a few articles.
===Link works but displays a no target error===
When a short-cite template links to a full citation that is rendered by a template that wraps a CS1 template, like {{txl|cite DNB}} (which wraps {{txl|cite encyclopedia}}), a {{error-small|no target}} error may be displayed even when the short-cite template is valid and the link works. That is a "false positive" error. The error message can be suppressed by adding {{para|ignore-err|yes}} to the template, or by adding the template {{t|Sfn whitelist}} with the anchor ID(s) to the article. If you are testing changes in [[Special:ExpandTemplates]] and the error message cannot be suppressed, try testing in a sandbox or user subpage instead.
==={{ucfirst:sfn}} embedded in list-defined ref does not work===
If you [[Help:Footnotes#embedding references|embed]] an {{ucfirst:sfn}} 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}}.
==Implementation notes==
These templates use two elements: a [[wikilink]] in the body of the article, and an [[WP:ANCHOR DEF|anchor]] in the reference section of the article. Clicking on the wikilink repositions the page at the anchor.
===Citation template [[HTML element#Links and anchors|anchor]]===
{{See also|Wikipedia:Citation templates and reference anchors}}
The most common citation templates are {{cs1}} or {{cs2}}. By default, [[Module:Citation/CS1]] creates an [[HTML element#Links and anchors|anchor]] {{tag|a|o|params=name="CITEREF"}} followed by the concatenation of the following parameters:
* '''last''' or '''last1''' or '''surname''' or '''surname1''' or '''author-last''' or '''author-last1''' or '''author1-last''' or '''author-surname''' or '''author-surname1''' or '''author1-surname''' or '''author''' or '''author1''' or '''authors''',
* '''last2''' or '''surname2''' or '''author-last2''' or '''author2-last''' or '''author-surname2''' or '''author2-surname''' or '''author2''',
* '''last3''' or '''surname3''' or '''author-last3''' or '''author3-last''' or '''author-surname3''' or '''author3-surname''' or '''author3''',
* '''last4''' or '''surname4''' or '''author-last4''' or '''author4-last''' or '''author-surname4''' or '''author4-surname''' or '''author4''',
* '''editor-last''' or '''editor-last1''' or '''editor1-last''' or '''editor-surname''' or '''editor-surname1''' or '''editor1-surname''' or '''editor1''' or '''editor''',
* '''editor-last2''' or '''editor2-last''' or '''editor-surname2''' or '''editor2-surname''' or '''editor2''',
* '''editor-last3''' or '''editor3-last''' or '''editor-surname3''' or '''editor3-surname''' or '''editor3''',
* '''editor-last4''' or '''editor4-last''' or '''editor-surname4''' or '''editor4-surname''' or '''editor4''',
* '''date''', '''year'''
This covers the most common templates. Information about all of the templates is available at [[Wikipedia:Citation templates and reference anchors]].
Use of the '''date''' parameter in place of the '''year''' parameter in citation templates is preferred.
===Harvard citation wikilink===
The Harvard citation templates create a [[wikilink]] to the anchor. For example {{tlx|Harv|Smith|2006|4=p=25}} produces the link {{code|#CITEREFSmith2006}} and {{tlx|Citation|2=last=Smith|3=first=John|4=date=27 January 2006|5=title=My Life}} produces the anchor {{code|CITEREFSmith2006}}.
===Using CITEREF directly===
{{Shortcut|WP:CITEREF}}
A few articles create a custom ID using {{code|CITEREF}}, either in place of the Harvard citation template (e.g. <code><nowiki>[[#CITEREFSmith2006|(2006)]]</nowiki></code>) or as a value for {{para|ref}} in the citation template.
{{Refname rules|A custom ID must follow these rules:|
* If CITEREF is used, then spaces in the {{para|ref}} field must be replaced with underscores}}
Examples:
* {{tlx|sfn|{{var|cite name}}|{{var|year}}}}
* {{tlx|cite book|2=ref=CITEREF{{var|cite_nameyear}}}}
* {{tlx|cite book|2=ref={{tl|sfnref|{{var|cite_name}}|{{var|year}}}}}}
Where {{var|cite_name}} is a name such as the publisher.
To avoid the sometimes difficult to remember syntax for links to CITEREF anchors, {{tl|citeref}} can be used to create internal wikilinks with either small superscript-style labels (like this<sup>[n]</sup>) or plain free-text labels to such anchors. It can be used inside of other citations.
Note that the {{code|CITEREF}} prefix is necessary for the [[mw:Reference Tooltips|reference tooltips gadget]] ([[MediaWiki:Gadget-ReferenceTooltips.js]]) to detect that a link goes to a citation.
===[[Template:sfn|<code><nowiki>{{sfn}}</nowiki></code>]]'s [[WP:REFNAME|ref name]]===
Template {{tl2|sfn}} creates a [[WP:REFNAME|named footnote]], so that identical footnotes are combined automatically. The footnote name begins with {{code|FOOTNOTE}} followed by a concatenation of the arguments to {{tl2|sfn}}. E.g.: this template call:
* {{tlx|sfn|Smith|2006|4=p=26}}
should have exactly the same functionality as
* {{tag|ref|params=name="FOOTNOTESmith200626"|content={{tl2|Harvnb|Smith|2006|4=p=26}}.}}
which, in turn, has the same functionality as
* {{tag|ref|params=name="FOOTNOTESmith200626"|content=<nowiki>[[#CITEREFSmith2006|Smith (2006)]], p.&nbsp;26.</nowiki>}}.
{{anchor|url weirdness}}
The ref name becomes more complicated when the page (p) parameter includes a URL, e.g. {{tlg|sfn|Joyce|1903|p{{=}}[https://archive.org/details/aconcisehistory00joycgoog/page/n226 213]|code=on}}, which, once defined, can be called by {{tag|ref|empty|params=name="FOOTNOTEJoyce1903[httpsarchiveorgdetailsaconcisehistory00joycgoogpagen226 213]"}}. The "p=" and the characters |,:,.,/,?,=; are therefore stripped out of the URL. The content of the loc parameter is similarly appended after this.
The call to {{tl2|harvnb}} has been [[subst]]'ed for quicker load times.

{{Lua|Module:Footnotes|Module:Check for unknown parameters}}
The '''shortened footnote template''' {{tl|sfn}} creates a short [[WP:Citing sources#Short citations|author–date citation]] in a [[Wikipedia:Citing sources|footnote]], with a one-directional link to the first matching [[Wikipedia:Citation templates|citation template]] on the same page. It will combine identical footnotes automatically.
It is used to create {{sfnote|lc=y}}, a [[WP:CITESTYLE|citation style]] which pairs a short, author-date citation in a footnote with a [[WP:HOWCITE|complete citation]] in the references section at the end of the article (see example [[#Example|below]]). This citation style is used to simplify multiple citations to the same source and to reduce clutter in the edit window.
Common problems and known workarounds are given in the sections below. Use the table of contents to find what you need.
Note that the use (or even non-use) of these templates is an element of citation "style", and adding or removing them in articles with an established style should be consistent with that style. See [[WP:CITEVAR]].
==Usage==
'''Sfn''' generates an "author-date" style short-cite from the following parameters:
<div style="margin-left: 2em"><code>{{<nowiki>sfn</nowiki>| <{{var|last1}}*> | <{{var|last2}}> | <{{var|last3}}> | <{{var|last4}}> | <{{var|year}}*> | p= <{{var|page}}> | loc= <{{var|location}}> }}</code></div>
with
* <{{var|last1}}> – required; surname of first author or corporate author
* <{{var|last2}}>–<{{var|last4}}> – positional parameters; surnames of next three authors; required if available in the full citation
* <{{var|year}}> – required; four-digit year; may have a lowercase disambiguation letter, like {{pval|2012a}}
* {{para|p}} – specific page referenced in the source (alias: {{para|page}}{{hairspace}})
* {{para|pp}} – comma-separated list of [[Template:Csdoc#pages|individual pages and / or range(s) of pages]] referenced in the source (alias: {{para|pages}}{{hairspace}})
* {{para|loc}} – in-source location when {{para|p}} and {{para|pp}} are inappropriate; may be used to supplement {{para|p}} and {{para|pp}}; information such as a section or figure number. (alias: {{para|at}}{{hairspace}})
=== Example ===
Typical usage is shown in the example below. The text and the footnote are connected by a bi-directional link – clicking on the superscript takes the reader to the footnote, clicking on the footnote number takes them back to the superscript. The clicking on the short citation takes them to the full citation in the references section.
'''Sfn''' will also automatically combine identical footnotes.

Template '''sfn''' is not placed inside {{tag|ref}} tags and generates the footnote internally. (To place '''sfn''' in a footnote, see [[#A citation inside an explanatory footnote|putting a citation inside a footnote]], below.)
===Parameters===
====Author(s) and year====
The first four author surnames (or all authors if fewer than four; use the values from {{para|last''N''}} or {{para|author''N''}}{{hairspace}}) are required, followed by the year of publication (from {{para|year}} or {{para|date}}). Authors past the fourth must be omitted or an error will result.
The [[#Possible issues with author-date link|possible issues]] section below describes workarounds for various common problems, such as [[#Large number of authors|large number of authors]], [[#No author name in citation template|no author name]], [[#More than one work in a year|multiple works in the same year]], [[#Two sources with same last names and years|Two sources with same last names and years]] and others.

==Possible issues with author-date link==
{{for|information on how to turn on error messages for broken links|:Category:Harv and Sfn template errors}}
These are techniques that address various unusual difficulties with the link between the short citation and the full citation.
Templates that have broken [[wikilink]]s using these templates are added to the category {{cat|All articles with broken links to citations}}.
===Wikilink to citation does not work===
If an article is using this template and nothing happens when you click on the highlighted [[wikilink]] from the [[WP:SHORTCITE|short citation]] to the [[WP:SHORTCITE|full citation]] at the bottom of the page, there are several possible solutions. If:
# Templates like this one are rarely used in this article. '''Solution''': Remove this template and format the citation in the style used most often in the article.
# The correct full citation does ''not'' appear at the bottom of the article. '''Solution''': Find the source (it may be copied from an article on a similar subject), and check that it verifies the text. If the source can't be found, replace this template with {{tl2|citation not found}}.
# The correct full citation appears at the bottom of the article, and
## The full citation uses a template from the list at [[Help:Citation Style 1|Citation Style 1]]:
### The citation template has only {{para|author}} and this template uses the last name. '''Solution''': Either (a) split the author name in to {{para|last}} and {{para|first}} in the full citation or (b) use the full name in the short citation. Be careful in either case to be consistent with the other citations in the article.
### The name in the short citation is spelled or capitalized differently than in the full citation. '''Solution''': Check the source for the correct spelling, and use the same spelling, spacing, and capitalization in both the short and full citations.
### There is more than one full citation with the same last name and year. '''Solution''': See [[#More than one work in a year|§More than one work in a year]] or [[#Two sources with same last names and years|§Two sources with same last names and years]].
### The year is different here than the full citation. '''Solution''': Check the source for the correct year, and use the same year in both the short and full citations.
### The template has a {{para|date}} field and no {{para|year}} field, but the format of the {{para|date}} field is unusual. '''Solution''': Try to fix the date. If the link still does not work, add {{para|year}} to the citation template. (It's okay if it has both.)
### The template does not have a year, or the date is set to "n.d." (no date). '''Solution''': Set the year field of this template to "n.d.".
### The template does not have an author's or an editor's, last name (authors take precedence over editors). '''Solution''': See [[#Citation template has no author name|§Citation template has no author name]], below.
### The template has no author, date or title. '''Solution''': See [[#Citation template has no author, date or title|§Citation template has no author, date or title]]
##Find the citation template in [[Wikipedia:Citation templates and reference anchors#Citation templates that create anchors|WP:Citation templates and anchors]] and find out if it has support for an anchor.
### The citation template doesn't automatically create the anchor, but has {{para|ref}}. '''Solution''': See [[#Citation template doesn't create a compatible anchor but has %7Cref=|§Citation template doesn't create a compatible anchor but has {{para|ref}}]], below.
### The citation template doesn't support anchors at all. '''Solution''': See [[#Citation template does not support any kind of anchor|§Citation format does not support any kind of anchor]], below.
##The full citation is handwritten.
### There are no other citation templates in the article. This is probably because local editors prefer it that way. '''Solution''': You should adapt to the style of the article. This would probably entail removing this template and formatting the short citation in plain text or replacing it with a full citation in {{tag|ref}} tags.
### There are citation templates used liberally throughout the article. '''Solution''': Reformat the source with the appropriate {{cite *}} template (and set the {{para|ref}} appropriately, if necessary).
### No appropriate template can be found. '''Solution''': See [[#No citation template|§No citation template]], below.
===Custom anchors===
A custom anchor using {{tl|sfnref}} can, at least temporarily, always make the shortened footnote look exactly the way you would like and still have a link that works. Many of the problems and workarounds below require a custom anchor.
All CS1 citation templates and several other templates allow you to set a custom anchor with parameter {{para|ref}}. The template {{tl|sfnRef}} creates an anchor that will match {{tl|sfn}}'s if it has the same parameters as {{tl|sfn}}. To use this technique, choose the name and year you would like to appear in {{tl|sfn}}, copy these parameters into {{tl|sfnRef}} and set {{tl|ref}} to the {{tl|sfnRef}}.
In other words, if you want this:
* {{tl2|sfn|<*''name you want''>|<''year''>|<''page / location''>}}
then set this:
* {{para|ref|{{tl2|sfnRef|<''name you want''>|<''year''>}}}}
in the template, and the link should work correctly.
The parameters must be <em>identical</em> in every respect. If the year is unusual (i.e. not a number), then include the year in the name and don't use the year position.
===Large number of authors===
If there are more than four authors, the first four authors' surnames (the value in {{para|last}} or {{para|author}}) are required by the template. Listing more authors is not supported. It is also possible to use a [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]] that sets the name field to "Smith et. al.".

}}}}
===More than one work in a year===
Where there is a need to cite more than one work ''by the same author published in the same year'', the standard way to disambiguate such works is to add a letter suffix after the year, e.g. "Smith 2006a" and "Smith 2006b".
Set the year element of the {{tlc|sfn}} templates (e.g. {{tlc|sfn|Smith|2006a}} and {{tlc|sfn|Smith|2006a}}), and add the disambiguation letter to the matching full citation, (e.g. <code><nowiki>{{cite book|...|last=Smith|date=2006b}}</nowiki></code>).
When {{tlc|sfn}} is used with {{tlx|citation}} or {{cs1}} templates, a year-suffix letter may be added to {{para|date}} for all accepted date formats except year-initial numeric ({{small|YYYY-MM-DD}}). It is not necessary to include both {{para|date}} and {{para|year}} (see exception [[#NB_YEAR|below]]). If both are included, {{para|year}} is used for the <code>CITEREF</code> anchor to be compliant with legacy citations.
:{{para|date|2013a}}: simple year only dates
:{{para|date|Jan 2013b}} or {{para|date|Winter 2013b}}: month or season and year dates
:{{para|date|9 November 2013b}} or {{para|date|November 9, 2013b}}: full dates
:{{para|date|June–July 2013c}} or {{para|date|Winter–Spring 2013c}}: month or season ranges and year dates
:{{para|date|c. 2013d}}: circa year dates
:{{para|date|{{#time:Y}}–{{#time:Y|now +1 year}}e}} or {{para|date|Summer {{#time:Y}}–{{#time:y|now +1 year}}e}}: year ranges
:{{para|date|n.d.f}}: no date (n.d.)
:{{anchor|NB_YEAR}}<s>{{para|date|2013g-11-09}}</s>: not supported, the template must use {{para|year|2013g}}. If month and day should be part of the citation as well, both parameters need to be given: {{para|date|2013-11-09}} {{para|year|2013x}}. In this case, {{para|date}} is used for citation display and metadata purposes, and {{para|year}} for link disambiguation.

===Two sources with same last names and years ===
An article might cite works from the same year by two different authors with the same last name. For example, an article might cite psychoanalysts [[Anna Freud]] and [[Sigmund Freud]], who both wrote books in the same year.
There are two solutions: it's possible to use the same technique described in the previous section. To differentiate between the two books, the first one can be given the year "1928a" and the second one "1928b".
Or, you can create a [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]] that adds an initial to the name fields, e.g. "A. Freud" and "S. Freud". The links will no longer conflict.

===Citation template has no year but has a date===
Either the {{para|date}} or {{para|year}} of a citation template can be matched—the template logic can extract the year from a full date. If the date parameter is not a full date, then the extraction will fail. If the link does not seem to work, it also possible to set both {{para|date}} and {{para|year}} parameters. The template will display the date and use the year for the anchor. These two examples show a year being successfully extracted from full date.

===Citation template has no date===
If the cited source does not have a date, you can use {{para|date|n.d.}} for the full citation and "n.d." in place of the date for the short citation:
{{markup
|<nowiki>This is a fact.{{sfn|Smith|n.d.}}
==Notes==
{{reflist}}
==References==
* {{Citation |last=Smith |title=Title |date=n.d. |publisher=Publisher |mode=cs1}}</nowiki>

{{fake heading|sub=3|Notes}}
{{reflist}}
{{fake heading|sub=3|References}}
* {{Citation |last=Smith |title=Title |date=n.d. |publisher=Publisher |mode=cs1}}
}}
===Citation template has no author name===
Some sources do not have a single author with a last name, such as a magazine article or a report from a government institution. There is no consensus (in Wikipedia or among citation styles) about how to format author–date citations for works that do not have a specific author. Several choices are:
# The title of the article, or a shortened form of the title, is recommended by some style guides.
# For a newspaper or periodical, you may use the name of the paper and the date.
# For a publication by an institution, use either:
## The initials of the institution
## The name of the institution
# Other style guides recommend using "Anonymous" or "Anon."
An article should adopt one of these styles consistently.
Use a [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]] to replace set the author name to one of these other choices, as shown in these examples below.

=== Citation template has no author, date or title ===
If the cited source does not have a date, author, or title, place a description of the source within brackets for the {{para|title}} parameter, use {{para|date|n.d.}} and create [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]] with the description in the name position and "n.d." in the year.

{{See section|Wikipedia:Citation templates and reference anchors|Citation templates that create anchors}}
Some templates, such as {{tl|cite comic}}, {{tl|cite thesis}} and {{tl|cite map}} use the parameter {{para|ref}} to create an anchor for the short citation. This can be used to set a [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]] for {{tl|sfn}}

You could also use CITEREF directly with a concatenation of <code>#CITEREF</code> plus the parameters passed to the Harvard citation template.
===Citation template does not support any kind of anchor===
{{See section|Wikipedia:Citation templates and reference anchors|Citation templates that create anchors}}
There are a few templates that do not support any kind of anchor, including {{tl|cite report}}, {{tl|cite music release notes}}, {{tl|cite DVD-notes}}, {{tl|cite episode}} and others.
It is possible to use {{tl|wikicite}} to create an anchor. It has a {{para|ref}} parameter which can be set to a [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]]. In this example, the publisher is considered the editor.
{{markup
|<nowiki>
Article text.{{sfn|Big Government Agency|1999}}

{{reflist}}
==References==
* {{wikicite
| reference = {{cite report

===No citation template ===
If the citation is handwritten you should consider the citation format of the article. If citation templates are used often in this article, then check [[WP:Citation templates]] and try to find one that works for this source. If no template can be found, then this may be a source which can't be represented in our citation templates.
Use {{tl2|wikicite}} to make an anchor, setting Wikicite's {{para|ref}} to a [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]].
{{markup
|<nowiki>Article text.{{sfn |A particularly unusual citation}}
==Notes==
{{reflist}}
==References==
* {{wikicite

== Techniques and variations ==
=== Changing the appearance of the short citation ===
==== With a custom anchor ====
With a [[#custom anchors|custom anchor]], {{tl|sfn}} can have any appearance you want. Here are two examples that editors have asked about in the past.
* MLA style author-title short citations. Put name and title in {{para|1}}, don't set the year.
{{markup|<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">Article text.{{sfn|Ellison ''Ellison's Book''|p=13}}
{{reflist}}
* {{cite book
| last = Ellison | first = Larry
| title = Ellison's Book"
| year = 2011
| ref = {{sfnref|Ellison ''Ellison's Book''}}
}}
</syntaxhighlight>|
Article text.{{sfn|Ellison ''Ellison's Book''|p=13}}
{{reflist}}
* {{cite book
| last = Ellison | first = Larry
| title = Ellison's Book"
| year = 2011
| ref = {{sfnref|Ellison ''Ellison's Book''}}
}}
}}
* Adding the original date to a later edition of a book. Put the name, year and original date in {{para|1}}, don't set the year.
{{markup|<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">Article text.{{sfn|Voltaire 2030 [1752]|p=13}}
{{reflist}}
* {{cite book
| title = Le Micromégas
| author = [[Voltaire]]
| year = 2020
| orig-date = 1752
| ref = {{sfnref|Voltaire 2030 [1752]}}
}}
</syntaxhighlight>|
Article text.{{sfn|Voltaire 2030 [1752]|p=13}}
{{reflist}}
* {{cite book

| author = [[Voltaire]]
| year = 2020
| orig-date = 1752
| ref = {{sfnref|Voltaire 2030 [1752]}}
}}
}}
====With templates====

{{anchor|Additional comments or quotes}}
=== Adding additional comments or quotes ===
The templates {{tl2|harvnb}} or {{tl2|harvtxt}} can be used to add quotes or additional comments into the footnote, in the form of in-text attributions.

===Adding a URL for the page or location===
If a specific link to the page or section is available, a [[Uniform Resource Locator|URL]] can be added to the location or page number.
{{markup

}}}}
(See [[#url weirdness|below]] for a potential issue with this technique.)
===Citations inside explanatory footnotes===
Sometimes an explanatory footnote requires a citation. There are several acceptable solutions.
It is currently disputed (June 2026) whether parenthetical referencing (or narrative referencing, i.e. in-text attribution serving as referencing) is deprecated inside {{tag|ref}} tags used for explanatory footnotes.
Citations using {{tl1|sfn}} can't be directly embedded between {{tag|ref}} tags, because the following message will be produced: {{small|{{error|Cite error references missing group||nocat=true}}}}. But {{tl1|sfn}} can be used with templates {{tl1|efn}} and {{tl1|notelist}}, which separates the explanatory footnotes from the short citations, as shown in this example. (See also [[Chinese Room]], which is an article that makes extensive use of this technique.)

===Multiple lists of inline citations===
Sometimes there is a need to create two or more separate lists of inline footnotes. For example some family trees are contained in templates, they are transluded into several biographies, and they have their own self contained citations (see [[Template:Houston family tree]] and the article [[Margaret Lea Houston]]).
To facilitate this, while the main page uses the standard 1,2,3 footnote counting, it is common for family trees to use the efn template with a group parameter set—for example {{tlx|efn-lg}} (lower-greek). The efn templates are text templates, to link some or all of the content of the efn template to a long citation template such as {{tlx|cite book}} place {{tlx|harvnb}} or {{tlx|harv}} within the efn template.

{{anchor|Ps problems}}
== Open problems ==
=== Discouraged parameters ===
These parameters were designed to handle special cases that are better handled by other techniques.
====Parameter {{para|ps}}====
These templates have a parameter {{para|ps}}, designed to hold quotes and explanations.
Two or more {{tlc|sfn}} templates with the same authors, same year, and same page, but different {{para|ps}} will result in a {{small|{{error|Cite error: The named reference ... was defined multiple times with different content}}}} message. This message happens because the reference names that {{tlc|sfn}} creates will be the same, but the content between the {{tag|ref|params=name="FOOTNOTE..."|o}} tag and the {{tag|ref|c}} tag will be different.
A workaround is to convert the offending {{tlc|sfn}} templates to {{tlx|harvnb}} wrapped in {{tag|ref}} tags, as recommended in [[#Additional comments or quotes|§ Adding additional comments or quotes]]. This method is more versatile and robust.
Template {{para|ps}} also has a second (rare) use, when setting {{para|ps|none}}, which suppressed the final period. See [[#Variations in the format of the author-date citation|§ Variations in the format of the author-date citation]].
====Parameter {{para|ref}}====
The optional parameter {{para|ref}} was used to create an unusually named link from the short citation to the full citation. This typically would require setting the hand coded link on the full citation as well. It's easier to only set the link of the full citation to {{para|ref|{{tl2|sfnref}}}}.
If you specify {{para|ref|none}}, no hyperlink is created. However, if one does not want the link, it is always possible to simply use plain text instead of the template.
The parameter only appears in <nowiki>{{harv*}}</nowiki> templates, and may still appear in a few articles.
===Link works but displays a no target error===
When a short-cite template links to a full citation that is rendered by a template that wraps a CS1 template, like {{txl|cite DNB}} (which wraps {{txl|cite encyclopedia}}), a {{error-small|no target}} error may be displayed even when the short-cite template is valid and the link works. That is a "false positive" error. The error message can be suppressed by adding {{para|ignore-err|yes}} to the template, or by adding the template {{t|Sfn whitelist}} with the anchor ID(s) to the article. If you are testing changes in [[Special:ExpandTemplates]] and the error message cannot be suppressed, try testing in a sandbox or user subpage instead.
==={{ucfirst:sfn}} embedded in list-defined ref does not work===
If you [[Help:Footnotes#embedding references|embed]] an {{ucfirst:sfn}} 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}}.
==Implementation notes==
These templates use two elements: a [[wikilink]] in the body of the article, and an [[WP:ANCHOR DEF|anchor]] in the reference section of the article. Clicking on the wikilink repositions the page at the anchor.
===Citation template [[HTML element#Links and anchors|anchor]]===
{{See also|Wikipedia:Citation templates and reference anchors}}
The most common citation templates are {{cs1}} or {{cs2}}. By default, [[Module:Citation/CS1]] creates an [[HTML element#Links and anchors|anchor]] {{tag|a|o|params=name="CITEREF"}} followed by the concatenation of the following parameters:
* '''last''' or '''last1''' or '''surname''' or '''surname1''' or '''author-last''' or '''author-last1''' or '''author1-last''' or '''author-surname''' or '''author-surname1''' or '''author1-surname''' or '''author''' or '''author1''' or '''authors''',

* '''editor-last4''' or '''editor4-last''' or '''editor-surname4''' or '''editor4-surname''' or '''editor4''',
* '''date''', '''year'''
This covers the most common templates. Information about all of the templates is available at [[Wikipedia:Citation templates and reference anchors]].
Use of the '''date''' parameter in place of the '''year''' parameter in citation templates is preferred.
===Harvard citation wikilink===
The Harvard citation templates create a [[wikilink]] to the anchor. For example {{tlx|Harv|Smith|2006|4=p=25}} produces the link {{code|#CITEREFSmith2006}} and {{tlx|Citation|2=last=Smith|3=first=John|4=date=27 January 2006|5=title=My Life}} produces the anchor {{code|CITEREFSmith2006}}.
===Using CITEREF directly===
{{Shortcut|WP:CITEREF}}
A few articles create a custom ID using {{code|CITEREF}}, either in place of the Harvard citation template (e.g. <code><nowiki>[[#CITEREFSmith2006|(2006)]]</nowiki></code>) or as a value for {{para|ref}} in the citation template.
{{Refname rules|A custom ID must follow these rules:|
* If CITEREF is used, then spaces in the {{para|ref}} field must be replaced with underscores}}
Examples:
* {{tlx|sfn|{{var|cite name}}|{{var|year}}}}
* {{tlx|cite book|2=ref=CITEREF{{var|cite_nameyear}}}}
* {{tlx|cite book|2=ref={{tl|sfnref|{{var|cite_name}}|{{var|year}}}}}}
Where {{var|cite_name}} is a name such as the publisher.
To avoid the sometimes difficult to remember syntax for links to CITEREF anchors, {{tl|citeref}} can be used to create internal wikilinks with either small superscript-style labels (like this<sup>[n]</sup>) or plain free-text labels to such anchors. It can be used inside of other citations.
Note that the {{code|CITEREF}} prefix is necessary for the [[mw:Reference Tooltips|reference tooltips gadget]] ([[MediaWiki:Gadget-ReferenceTooltips.js]]) to detect that a link goes to a citation.
===[[Template:sfn|<code><nowiki>{{sfn}}</nowiki></code>]]'s [[WP:REFNAME|ref name]]===
Template {{tl2|sfn}} creates a [[WP:REFNAME|named footnote]], so that identical footnotes are combined automatically. The footnote name begins with {{code|FOOTNOTE}} followed by a concatenation of the arguments to {{tl2|sfn}}. E.g.: this template call:
* {{tlx|sfn|Smith|2006|4=p=26}}
should have exactly the same functionality as
* {{tag|ref|params=name="FOOTNOTESmith200626"|content={{tl2|Harvnb|Smith|2006|4=p=26}}.}}
which, in turn, has the same functionality as
* {{tag|ref|params=name="FOOTNOTESmith200626"|content=<nowiki>[[#CITEREFSmith2006|Smith (2006)]], p.&nbsp;26.</nowiki>}}.
{{anchor|url weirdness}}
The ref name becomes more complicated when the page (p) parameter includes a URL, e.g. {{tlg|sfn|Joyce|1903|p{{=}}[https://archive.org/details/aconcisehistory00joycgoog/page/n226 213]|code=on}}, which, once defined, can be called by {{tag|ref|empty|params=name="FOOTNOTEJoyce1903[httpsarchiveorgdetailsaconcisehistory00joycgoogpagen226 213]"}}. The "p=" and the characters |,:,.,/,?,=; are therefore stripped out of the URL. The content of the loc parameter is similarly appended after this.
The call to {{tl2|harvnb}} has been [[subst]]'ed for quicker load times.

{{Lua|Module:Footnotes|Module:Check for unknown parameters}}
The '''shortened footnote template''' {{tl|sfn}} creates a short [[WP:Citing sources#Short citations|author–date citation]] in a [[Wikipedia:Citing sources|footnote]], with a one-directional link to the first matching [[Wikipedia:Citation templates|citation template]] on the same page. It will combine identical footnotes automatically.
It is used to create {{sfnote|lc=y}}, a [[WP:CITESTYLE|citation style]] which pairs a short, author-date citation in a footnote with a [[WP:HOWCITE|complete citation]] in the references section at the end of the article (see example [[#Example|below]]). This citation style is used to simplify multiple citations to the same source and to reduce clutter in the edit window.
Common problems and known workarounds are given in the sections below. Use the table of contents to find what you need.
Note that the use (or even non-use) of these templates is an element of citation "style", and adding or removing them in articles with an established style should be consistent with that style. See [[WP:CITEVAR]].
==Usage==
'''Sfn''' generates an "author-date" style short-cite from the following parameters:
<div style="margin-left: 2em"><code>{{<nowiki>sfn</nowiki>| <{{var|last1}}*> | <{{var|last2}}> | <{{var|last3}}> | <{{var|last4}}> | <{{var|year}}*> | p= <{{var|page}}> | loc= <{{var|location}}> }}</code></div>
with
* <{{var|last1}}> – required; surname of first author or corporate author
* <{{var|last2}}>–<{{var|last4}}> – positional parameters; surnames of next three authors; required if available in the full citation
* <{{var|year}}> – required; four-digit year; may have a lowercase disambiguation letter, like {{pval|2012a}}
* {{para|p}} – specific page referenced in the source (alias: {{para|page}}{{hairspace}})
* {{para|pp}} – comma-separated list of [[Template:Csdoc#pages|individual pages and / or range(s) of pages]] referenced in the source (alias: {{para|pages}}{{hairspace}})
* {{para|loc}} – in-source location when {{para|p}} and {{para|pp}} are inappropriate; may be used to supplement {{para|p}} and {{para|pp}}; information such as a section or figure number. (alias: {{para|at}}{{hairspace}})
=== Example ===
Typical usage is shown in the example below. The text and the footnote are connected by a bi-directional link – clicking on the superscript takes the reader to the footnote, clicking on the footnote number takes them back to the superscript. The clicking on the short citation takes them to the full citation in the references section.
'''Sfn''' will also automatically combine identical footnotes.

Template '''sfn''' is not placed inside {{tag|ref}} tags and generates the footnote internally. (To place '''sfn''' in a footnote, see [[#A citation inside an explanatory footnote|putting a citation inside a footnote]], below.)
===Parameters===
====Author(s) and year====
The first four author surnames (or all authors if fewer than four; use the values from {{para|last''N''}} or {{para|author''N''}}{{hairspace}}) are required, followed by the year of publication (from {{para|year}} or {{para|date}}). Authors past the fourth must be omitted or an error will result.
The [[#Possible issues with author-date link|possible issues]] section below describes workarounds for various common problems, such as [[#Large number of authors|large number of authors]], [[#No author name in citation template|no author name]], [[#More than one work in a year|multiple works in the same year]], [[#Two sources with same last names and years|Two sources with same last names and years]] and others.

==Possible issues with author-date link==
{{for|information on how to turn on error messages for broken links|:Category:Harv and Sfn template errors}}
These are techniques that address various unusual difficulties with the link between the short citation and the full citation.
Templates that have broken [[wikilink]]s using these templates are added to the category {{cat|All articles with broken links to citations}}.
===Wikilink to citation does not work===
If an article is using this template and nothing happens when you click on the highlighted [[wikilink]] from the [[WP:SHORTCITE|short citation]] to the [[WP:SHORTCITE|full citation]] at the bottom of the page, there are several possible solutions. If:
# Templates like this one are rarely used in this article. '''Solution''': Remove this template and format the citation in the style used most often in the article.
# The correct full citation does ''not'' appear at the bottom of the article. '''Solution''': Find the source (it may be copied from an article on a similar subject), and check that it verifies the text. If the source can't be found, replace this template with {{tl2|citation not found}}.
# The correct full citation appears at the bottom of the article, and
## The full citation uses a template from the list at [[Help:Citation Style 1|Citation Style 1]]:
### The citation template has only {{para|author}} and this template uses the last name. '''Solution''': Either (a) split the author name in to {{para|last}} and {{para|first}} in the full citation or (b) use the full name in the short citation. Be careful in either case to be consistent with the other citations in the article.
### The name in the short citation is spelled or capitalized differently than in the full citation. '''Solution''': Check the source for the correct spelling, and use the same spelling, spacing, and capitalization in both the short and full citations.
### There is more than one full citation with the same last name and year. '''Solution''': See [[#More than one work in a year|§More than one work in a year]] or [[#Two sources with same last names and years|§Two sources with same last names and years]].
### The year is different here than the full citation. '''Solution''': Check the source for the correct year, and use the same year in both the short and full citations.
### The template has a {{para|date}} field and no {{para|year}} field, but the format of the {{para|date}} field is unusual. '''Solution''': Try to fix the date. If the link still does not work, add {{para|year}} to the citation template. (It's okay if it has both.)
### The template does not have a year, or the date is set to "n.d." (no date). '''Solution''': Set the year field of this template to "n.d.".
### The template does not have an author's or an editor's, last name (authors take precedence over editors). '''Solution''': See [[#Citation template has no author name|§Citation template has no author name]], below.
### The template has no author, date or title. '''Solution''': See [[#Citation template has no author, date or title|§Citation template has no author, date or title]]
##Find the citation template in [[Wikipedia:Citation templates and reference anchors#Citation templates that create anchors|WP:Citation templates and anchors]] and find out if it has support for an anchor.
### The citation template doesn't automatically create the anchor, but has {{para|ref}}. '''Solution''': See [[#Citation template doesn't create a compatible anchor but has %7Cref=|§Citation template doesn't create a compatible anchor but has {{para|ref}}]], below.
### The citation template doesn't support anchors at all. '''Solution''': See [[#Citation template does not support any kind of anchor|§Citation format does not support any kind of anchor]], below.
##The full citation is handwritten.
### There are no other citation templates in the article. This is probably because local editors prefer it that way. '''Solution''': You should adapt to the style of the article. This would probably entail removing this template and formatting the short citation in plain text or replacing it with a full citation in {{tag|ref}} tags.
### There are citation templates used liberally throughout the article. '''Solution''': Reformat the source with the appropriate {{cite *}} template (and set the {{para|ref}} appropriately, if necessary).
### No appropriate template can be found. '''Solution''': See [[#No citation template|§No citation template]], below.
===Custom anchors===
A custom anchor using {{tl|sfnref}} can, at least temporarily, always make the shortened footnote look exactly the way you would like and still have a link that works. Many of the problems and workarounds below require a custom anchor.
All CS1 citation templates and several other templates allow you to set a custom anchor with parameter {{para|ref}}. The template {{tl|sfnRef}} creates an anchor that will match {{tl|sfn}}'s if it has the same parameters as {{tl|sfn}}. To use this technique, choose the name and year you would like to appear in {{tl|sfn}}, copy these parameters into {{tl|sfnRef}} and set {{tl|ref}} to the {{tl|sfnRef}}.
In other words, if you want this:
* {{tl2|sfn|<*''name you want''>|<''year''>|<''page / location''>}}
then set this:
* {{para|ref|{{tl2|sfnRef|<''name you want''>|<''year''>}}}}
in the template, and the link should work correctly.
The parameters must be <em>identical</em> in every respect. If the year is unusual (i.e. not a number), then include the year in the name and don't use the year position.
===Large number of authors===
If there are more than four authors, the first four authors' surnames (the value in {{para|last}} or {{para|author}}) are required by the template. Listing more authors is not supported. It is also possible to use a [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]] that sets the name field to "Smith et. al.".

}}}}
===More than one work in a year===
Where there is a need to cite more than one work ''by the same author published in the same year'', the standard way to disambiguate such works is to add a letter suffix after the year, e.g. "Smith 2006a" and "Smith 2006b".
Set the year element of the {{tlc|sfn}} templates (e.g. {{tlc|sfn|Smith|2006a}} and {{tlc|sfn|Smith|2006a}}), and add the disambiguation letter to the matching full citation, (e.g. <code><nowiki>{{cite book|...|last=Smith|date=2006b}}</nowiki></code>).
When {{tlc|sfn}} is used with {{tlx|citation}} or {{cs1}} templates, a year-suffix letter may be added to {{para|date}} for all accepted date formats except year-initial numeric ({{small|YYYY-MM-DD}}). It is not necessary to include both {{para|date}} and {{para|year}} (see exception [[#NB_YEAR|below]]). If both are included, {{para|year}} is used for the <code>CITEREF</code> anchor to be compliant with legacy citations.
:{{para|date|2013a}}: simple year only dates
:{{para|date|Jan 2013b}} or {{para|date|Winter 2013b}}: month or season and year dates
:{{para|date|9 November 2013b}} or {{para|date|November 9, 2013b}}: full dates
:{{para|date|June–July 2013c}} or {{para|date|Winter–Spring 2013c}}: month or season ranges and year dates
:{{para|date|c. 2013d}}: circa year dates
:{{para|date|{{#time:Y}}–{{#time:Y|now +1 year}}e}} or {{para|date|Summer {{#time:Y}}–{{#time:y|now +1 year}}e}}: year ranges
:{{para|date|n.d.f}}: no date (n.d.)
:{{anchor|NB_YEAR}}<s>{{para|date|2013g-11-09}}</s>: not supported, the template must use {{para|year|2013g}}. If month and day should be part of the citation as well, both parameters need to be given: {{para|date|2013-11-09}} {{para|year|2013x}}. In this case, {{para|date}} is used for citation display and metadata purposes, and {{para|year}} for link disambiguation.

===Two sources with same last names and years ===
An article might cite works from the same year by two different authors with the same last name. For example, an article might cite psychoanalysts [[Anna Freud]] and [[Sigmund Freud]], who both wrote books in the same year.
There are two solutions: it's possible to use the same technique described in the previous section. To differentiate between the two books, the first one can be given the year "1928a" and the second one "1928b".
Or, you can create a [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]] that adds an initial to the name fields, e.g. "A. Freud" and "S. Freud". The links will no longer conflict.

===Citation template has no year but has a date===
Either the {{para|date}} or {{para|year}} of a citation template can be matched—the template logic can extract the year from a full date. If the date parameter is not a full date, then the extraction will fail. If the link does not seem to work, it also possible to set both {{para|date}} and {{para|year}} parameters. The template will display the date and use the year for the anchor. These two examples show a year being successfully extracted from full date.

===Citation template has no date===
If the cited source does not have a date, you can use {{para|date|n.d.}} for the full citation and "n.d." in place of the date for the short citation:
{{markup
|<nowiki>This is a fact.{{sfn|Smith|n.d.}}
==Notes==
{{reflist}}
==References==
* {{Citation |last=Smith |title=Title |date=n.d. |publisher=Publisher |mode=cs1}}</nowiki>
|This is a fact.{{sfn|Smith|n.d.}}
{{fake heading|sub=3|Notes}}
{{reflist}}
{{fake heading|sub=3|References}}
* {{Citation |last=Smith |title=Title |date=n.d. |publisher=Publisher |mode=cs1}}
}}
===Citation template has no author name===
Some sources do not have a single author with a last name, such as a magazine article or a report from a government institution. There is no consensus (in Wikipedia or among citation styles) about how to format author–date citations for works that do not have a specific author. Several choices are:
# The title of the article, or a shortened form of the title, is recommended by some style guides.
# For a newspaper or periodical, you may use the name of the paper and the date.
# For a publication by an institution, use either:
## The initials of the institution
## The name of the institution
# Other style guides recommend using "Anonymous" or "Anon."
An article should adopt one of these styles consistently.
Use a [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]] to replace set the author name to one of these other choices, as shown in these examples below.

=== Citation template has no author, date or title ===
If the cited source does not have a date, author, or title, place a description of the source within brackets for the {{para|title}} parameter, use {{para|date|n.d.}} and create [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]] with the description in the name position and "n.d." in the year.
{{markup
|<nowiki>This is a fact.{{sfn|[Description]|n.d.}}

{{reflist}}
==References==

}}
===Citation template doesn't create a compatible anchor but has {{para|ref}} ===
{{See section|Wikipedia:Citation templates and reference anchors|Citation templates that create anchors}}
Some templates, such as {{tl|cite comic}}, {{tl|cite thesis}} and {{tl|cite map}} use the parameter {{para|ref}} to create an anchor for the short citation. This can be used to set a [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]] for {{tl|sfn}}
{{markup
|<nowiki>Article text.{{sfn|Morrison|1987}}
==Notes==
{{reflist}}
==References==
* {{cite comic
|writer=Morrison, Grant
|artist=Yeowell, Steve

You could also use CITEREF directly with a concatenation of <code>#CITEREF</code> plus the parameters passed to the Harvard citation template.
===Citation template does not support any kind of anchor===
{{See section|Wikipedia:Citation templates and reference anchors|Citation templates that create anchors}}
There are a few templates that do not support any kind of anchor, including {{tl|cite report}}, {{tl|cite music release notes}}, {{tl|cite DVD-notes}}, {{tl|cite episode}} and others.
It is possible to use {{tl|wikicite}} to create an anchor. It has a {{para|ref}} parameter which can be set to a [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]]. In this example, the publisher is considered the editor.
{{markup
|<nowiki>
Article text.{{sfn|Big Government Agency|1999}}
==Notes==
{{reflist}}
==References==
* {{wikicite
| reference = {{cite report
| title=Important Government Report
| publisher=Big Government Agency
| date=1999
}}
| ref = {{sfnref|Big Government Agency|1999}}
}}
</nowiki>|

===No citation template ===
If the citation is handwritten you should consider the citation format of the article. If citation templates are used often in this article, then check [[WP:Citation templates]] and try to find one that works for this source. If no template can be found, then this may be a source which can't be represented in our citation templates.
Use {{tl2|wikicite}} to make an anchor, setting Wikicite's {{para|ref}} to a [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]].
{{markup
|<nowiki>Article text.{{sfn |A particularly unusual citation}}
==Notes==
{{reflist}}
==References==
* {{wikicite
| reference = A source that can't be described
using our citation templates at all.
| ref = {{sfnref|A particularly unusual citation}}
}}
</nowiki>|
{{fake notes and references

== Techniques and variations ==
=== Changing the appearance of the short citation ===
==== With a custom anchor ====
With a [[#custom anchors|custom anchor]], {{tl|sfn}} can have any appearance you want. Here are two examples that editors have asked about in the past.
* MLA style author-title short citations. Put name and title in {{para|1}}, don't set the year.
{{markup|<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">Article text.{{sfn|Ellison ''Ellison's Book''|p=13}}
{{reflist}}
* {{cite book
| last = Ellison | first = Larry
| title = Ellison's Book"
| year = 2011
| ref = {{sfnref|Ellison ''Ellison's Book''}}
}}
</syntaxhighlight>|
Article text.{{sfn|Ellison ''Ellison's Book''|p=13}}
{{reflist}}
* {{cite book
| last = Ellison | first = Larry
| title = Ellison's Book"
| year = 2011
| ref = {{sfnref|Ellison ''Ellison's Book''}}
}}
}}
* Adding the original date to a later edition of a book. Put the name, year and original date in {{para|1}}, don't set the year.
{{markup|<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">Article text.{{sfn|Voltaire 2030 [1752]|p=13}}
{{reflist}}
* {{cite book
| title = Le Micromégas
| author = [[Voltaire]]
| year = 2020
| orig-date = 1752
| ref = {{sfnref|Voltaire 2030 [1752]}}
}}
</syntaxhighlight>|
Article text.{{sfn|Voltaire 2030 [1752]|p=13}}
{{reflist}}

(See [[#url weirdness|below]] for a potential issue with this technique.)
===Citations inside explanatory footnotes===
Sometimes an explanatory footnote requires a citation. There are several acceptable solutions.
It is currently disputed (June 2026) whether parenthetical referencing (or narrative referencing, i.e. in-text attribution serving as referencing) is deprecated inside {{tag|ref}} tags used for explanatory footnotes.
Citations using {{tl1|sfn}} can't be directly embedded between {{tag|ref}} tags, because the following message will be produced: {{small|{{error|Cite error references missing group||nocat=true}}}}. But {{tl1|sfn}} can be used with templates {{tl1|efn}} and {{tl1|notelist}}, which separates the explanatory footnotes from the short citations, as shown in this example. (See also [[Chinese Room]], which is an article that makes extensive use of this technique.)

===Multiple lists of inline citations===
Sometimes there is a need to create two or more separate lists of inline footnotes. For example some family trees are contained in templates, they are transluded into several biographies, and they have their own self contained citations (see [[Template:Houston family tree]] and the article [[Margaret Lea Houston]]).
To facilitate this, while the main page uses the standard 1,2,3 footnote counting, it is common for family trees to use the efn template with a group parameter set—for example {{tlx|efn-lg}} (lower-greek). The efn templates are text templates, to link some or all of the content of the efn template to a long citation template such as {{tlx|cite book}} place {{tlx|harvnb}} or {{tlx|harv}} within the efn template.

{{anchor|Ps problems}}
== Open problems ==
=== Discouraged parameters ===
These parameters were designed to handle special cases that are better handled by other techniques.
====Parameter {{para|ps}}====
These templates have a parameter {{para|ps}}, designed to hold quotes and explanations.
Two or more {{tlc|sfn}} templates with the same authors, same year, and same page, but different {{para|ps}} will result in a {{small|{{error|Cite error: The named reference ... was defined multiple times with different content}}}} message. This message happens because the reference names that {{tlc|sfn}} creates will be the same, but the content between the {{tag|ref|params=name="FOOTNOTE..."|o}} tag and the {{tag|ref|c}} tag will be different.
A workaround is to convert the offending {{tlc|sfn}} templates to {{tlx|harvnb}} wrapped in {{tag|ref}} tags, as recommended in [[#Additional comments or quotes|§ Adding additional comments or quotes]]. This method is more versatile and robust.
Template {{para|ps}} also has a second (rare) use, when setting {{para|ps|none}}, which suppressed the final period. See [[#Variations in the format of the author-date citation|§ Variations in the format of the author-date citation]].
====Parameter {{para|ref}}====
The optional parameter {{para|ref}} was used to create an unusually named link from the short citation to the full citation. This typically would require setting the hand coded link on the full citation as well. It's easier to only set the link of the full citation to {{para|ref|{{tl2|sfnref}}}}.
If you specify {{para|ref|none}}, no hyperlink is created. However, if one does not want the link, it is always possible to simply use plain text instead of the template.
The parameter only appears in <nowiki>{{harv*}}</nowiki> templates, and may still appear in a few articles.
===Link works but displays a no target error===
When a short-cite template links to a full citation that is rendered by a template that wraps a CS1 template, like {{txl|cite DNB}} (which wraps {{txl|cite encyclopedia}}), a {{error-small|no target}} error may be displayed even when the short-cite template is valid and the link works. That is a "false positive" error. The error message can be suppressed by adding {{para|ignore-err|yes}} to the template, or by adding the template {{t|Sfn whitelist}} with the anchor ID(s) to the article. If you are testing changes in [[Special:ExpandTemplates]] and the error message cannot be suppressed, try testing in a sandbox or user subpage instead.
==={{ucfirst:sfn}} embedded in list-defined ref does not work===
If you [[Help:Footnotes#embedding references|embed]] an {{ucfirst:sfn}} 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}}.
==Implementation notes==
These templates use two elements: a [[wikilink]] in the body of the article, and an [[WP:ANCHOR DEF|anchor]] in the reference section of the article. Clicking on the wikilink repositions the page at the anchor.
===Citation template [[HTML element#Links and anchors|anchor]]===
{{See also|Wikipedia:Citation templates and reference anchors}}
The most common citation templates are {{cs1}} or {{cs2}}. By default, [[Module:Citation/CS1]] creates an [[HTML element#Links and anchors|anchor]] {{tag|a|o|params=name="CITEREF"}} followed by the concatenation of the following parameters:
* '''last''' or '''last1''' or '''surname''' or '''surname1''' or '''author-last''' or '''author-last1''' or '''author1-last''' or '''author-surname''' or '''author-surname1''' or '''author1-surname''' or '''author''' or '''author1''' or '''authors''',
* '''last2''' or '''surname2''' or '''author-last2''' or '''author2-last''' or '''author-surname2''' or '''author2-surname''' or '''author2''',
* '''last3''' or '''surname3''' or '''author-last3''' or '''author3-last''' or '''author-surname3''' or '''author3-surname''' or '''author3''',
* '''last4''' or '''surname4''' or '''author-last4''' or '''author4-last''' or '''author-surname4''' or '''author4-surname''' or '''author4''',
* '''editor-last''' or '''editor-last1''' or '''editor1-last''' or '''editor-surname''' or '''editor-surname1''' or '''editor1-surname''' or '''editor1''' or '''editor''',
* '''editor-last2''' or '''editor2-last''' or '''editor-surname2''' or '''editor2-surname''' or '''editor2''',
* '''editor-last3''' or '''editor3-last''' or '''editor-surname3''' or '''editor3-surname''' or '''editor3''',
* '''editor-last4''' or '''editor4-last''' or '''editor-surname4''' or '''editor4-surname''' or '''editor4''',
* '''date''', '''year'''
This covers the most common templates. Information about all of the templates is available at [[Wikipedia:Citation templates and reference anchors]].
Use of the '''date''' parameter in place of the '''year''' parameter in citation templates is preferred.
===Harvard citation wikilink===
The Harvard citation templates create a [[wikilink]] to the anchor. For example {{tlx|Harv|Smith|2006|4=p=25}} produces the link {{code|#CITEREFSmith2006}} and {{tlx|Citation|2=last=Smith|3=first=John|4=date=27 January 2006|5=title=My Life}} produces the anchor {{code|CITEREFSmith2006}}.
===Using CITEREF directly===
{{Shortcut|WP:CITEREF}}
A few articles create a custom ID using {{code|CITEREF}}, either in place of the Harvard citation template (e.g. <code><nowiki>[[#CITEREFSmith2006|(2006)]]</nowiki></code>) or as a value for {{para|ref}} in the citation template.
{{Refname rules|A custom ID must follow these rules:|
* If CITEREF is used, then spaces in the {{para|ref}} field must be replaced with underscores}}
Examples:
* {{tlx|sfn|{{var|cite name}}|{{var|year}}}}
* {{tlx|cite book|2=ref=CITEREF{{var|cite_nameyear}}}}
* {{tlx|cite book|2=ref={{tl|sfnref|{{var|cite_name}}|{{var|year}}}}}}
Where {{var|cite_name}} is a name such as the publisher.
To avoid the sometimes difficult to remember syntax for links to CITEREF anchors, {{tl|citeref}} can be used to create internal wikilinks with either small superscript-style labels (like this<sup>[n]</sup>) or plain free-text labels to such anchors. It can be used inside of other citations.
Note that the {{code|CITEREF}} prefix is necessary for the [[mw:Reference Tooltips|reference tooltips gadget]] ([[MediaWiki:Gadget-ReferenceTooltips.js]]) to detect that a link goes to a citation.
===[[Template:sfn|<code><nowiki>{{sfn}}</nowiki></code>]]'s [[WP:REFNAME|ref name]]===
Template {{tl2|sfn}} creates a [[WP:REFNAME|named footnote]], so that identical footnotes are combined automatically. The footnote name begins with {{code|FOOTNOTE}} followed by a concatenation of the arguments to {{tl2|sfn}}. E.g.: this template call:
* {{tlx|sfn|Smith|2006|4=p=26}}
should have exactly the same functionality as
* {{tag|ref|params=name="FOOTNOTESmith200626"|content={{tl2|Harvnb|Smith|2006|4=p=26}}.}}
which, in turn, has the same functionality as
* {{tag|ref|params=name="FOOTNOTESmith200626"|content=<nowiki>[[#CITEREFSmith2006|Smith (2006)]], p.&nbsp;26.</nowiki>}}.
{{anchor|url weirdness}}
The ref name becomes more complicated when the page (p) parameter includes a URL, e.g. {{tlg|sfn|Joyce|1903|p{{=}}[https://archive.org/details/aconcisehistory00joycgoog/page/n226 213]|code=on}}, which, once defined, can be called by {{tag|ref|empty|params=name="FOOTNOTEJoyce1903[httpsarchiveorgdetailsaconcisehistory00joycgoogpagen226 213]"}}. The "p=" and the characters |,:,.,/,?,=; are therefore stripped out of the URL. The content of the loc parameter is similarly appended after this.
The call to {{tl2|harvnb}} has been [[subst]]'ed for quicker load times.

{{Lua|Module:Footnotes|Module:Check for unknown parameters}}
The '''shortened footnote template''' {{tl|sfn}} creates a short [[WP:Citing sources#Short citations|author–date citation]] in a [[Wikipedia:Citing sources|footnote]], with a one-directional link to the first matching [[Wikipedia:Citation templates|citation template]] on the same page. It will combine identical footnotes automatically.
It is used to create {{sfnote|lc=y}}, a [[WP:CITESTYLE|citation style]] which pairs a short, author-date citation in a footnote with a [[WP:HOWCITE|complete citation]] in the references section at the end of the article (see example [[#Example|below]]). This citation style is used to simplify multiple citations to the same source and to reduce clutter in the edit window.
Common problems and known workarounds are given in the sections below. Use the table of contents to find what you need.
Note that the use (or even non-use) of these templates is an element of citation "style", and adding or removing them in articles with an established style should be consistent with that style. See [[WP:CITEVAR]].
==Usage==
'''Sfn''' generates an "author-date" style short-cite from the following parameters:
<div style="margin-left: 2em"><code>{{<nowiki>sfn</nowiki>| <{{var|last1}}*> | <{{var|last2}}> | <{{var|last3}}> | <{{var|last4}}> | <{{var|year}}*> | p= <{{var|page}}> | loc= <{{var|location}}> }}</code></div>
with
* <{{var|last1}}> – required; surname of first author or corporate author
* <{{var|last2}}>–<{{var|last4}}> – positional parameters; surnames of next three authors; required if available in the full citation
* <{{var|year}}> – required; four-digit year; may have a lowercase disambiguation letter, like {{pval|2012a}}
* {{para|p}} – specific page referenced in the source (alias: {{para|page}}{{hairspace}})
* {{para|pp}} – comma-separated list of [[Template:Csdoc#pages|individual pages and / or range(s) of pages]] referenced in the source (alias: {{para|pages}}{{hairspace}})
* {{para|loc}} – in-source location when {{para|p}} and {{para|pp}} are inappropriate; may be used to supplement {{para|p}} and {{para|pp}}; information such as a section or figure number. (alias: {{para|at}}{{hairspace}})
=== Example ===
Typical usage is shown in the example below. The text and the footnote are connected by a bi-directional link – clicking on the superscript takes the reader to the footnote, clicking on the footnote number takes them back to the superscript. The clicking on the short citation takes them to the full citation in the references section.
'''Sfn''' will also automatically combine identical footnotes.

Template '''sfn''' is not placed inside {{tag|ref}} tags and generates the footnote internally. (To place '''sfn''' in a footnote, see [[#A citation inside an explanatory footnote|putting a citation inside a footnote]], below.)
===Parameters===
====Author(s) and year====
The first four author surnames (or all authors if fewer than four; use the values from {{para|last''N''}} or {{para|author''N''}}{{hairspace}}) are required, followed by the year of publication (from {{para|year}} or {{para|date}}). Authors past the fourth must be omitted or an error will result.
The [[#Possible issues with author-date link|possible issues]] section below describes workarounds for various common problems, such as [[#Large number of authors|large number of authors]], [[#No author name in citation template|no author name]], [[#More than one work in a year|multiple works in the same year]], [[#Two sources with same last names and years|Two sources with same last names and years]] and others.

==Possible issues with author-date link==
{{for|information on how to turn on error messages for broken links|:Category:Harv and Sfn template errors}}
These are techniques that address various unusual difficulties with the link between the short citation and the full citation.
Templates that have broken [[wikilink]]s using these templates are added to the category {{cat|All articles with broken links to citations}}.
===Wikilink to citation does not work===
If an article is using this template and nothing happens when you click on the highlighted [[wikilink]] from the [[WP:SHORTCITE|short citation]] to the [[WP:SHORTCITE|full citation]] at the bottom of the page, there are several possible solutions. If:
# Templates like this one are rarely used in this article. '''Solution''': Remove this template and format the citation in the style used most often in the article.
# The correct full citation does ''not'' appear at the bottom of the article. '''Solution''': Find the source (it may be copied from an article on a similar subject), and check that it verifies the text. If the source can't be found, replace this template with {{tl2|citation not found}}.
# The correct full citation appears at the bottom of the article, and
## The full citation uses a template from the list at [[Help:Citation Style 1|Citation Style 1]]:
### The citation template has only {{para|author}} and this template uses the last name. '''Solution''': Either (a) split the author name in to {{para|last}} and {{para|first}} in the full citation or (b) use the full name in the short citation. Be careful in either case to be consistent with the other citations in the article.
### The name in the short citation is spelled or capitalized differently than in the full citation. '''Solution''': Check the source for the correct spelling, and use the same spelling, spacing, and capitalization in both the short and full citations.
### There is more than one full citation with the same last name and year. '''Solution''': See [[#More than one work in a year|§More than one work in a year]] or [[#Two sources with same last names and years|§Two sources with same last names and years]].
### The year is different here than the full citation. '''Solution''': Check the source for the correct year, and use the same year in both the short and full citations.
### The template has a {{para|date}} field and no {{para|year}} field, but the format of the {{para|date}} field is unusual. '''Solution''': Try to fix the date. If the link still does not work, add {{para|year}} to the citation template. (It's okay if it has both.)
### The template does not have a year, or the date is set to "n.d." (no date). '''Solution''': Set the year field of this template to "n.d.".
### The template does not have an author's or an editor's, last name (authors take precedence over editors). '''Solution''': See [[#Citation template has no author name|§Citation template has no author name]], below.
### The template has no author, date or title. '''Solution''': See [[#Citation template has no author, date or title|§Citation template has no author, date or title]]
##Find the citation template in [[Wikipedia:Citation templates and reference anchors#Citation templates that create anchors|WP:Citation templates and anchors]] and find out if it has support for an anchor.
### The citation template doesn't automatically create the anchor, but has {{para|ref}}. '''Solution''': See [[#Citation template doesn't create a compatible anchor but has %7Cref=|§Citation template doesn't create a compatible anchor but has {{para|ref}}]], below.
### The citation template doesn't support anchors at all. '''Solution''': See [[#Citation template does not support any kind of anchor|§Citation format does not support any kind of anchor]], below.
##The full citation is handwritten.
### There are no other citation templates in the article. This is probably because local editors prefer it that way. '''Solution''': You should adapt to the style of the article. This would probably entail removing this template and formatting the short citation in plain text or replacing it with a full citation in {{tag|ref}} tags.
### There are citation templates used liberally throughout the article. '''Solution''': Reformat the source with the appropriate {{cite *}} template (and set the {{para|ref}} appropriately, if necessary).
### No appropriate template can be found. '''Solution''': See [[#No citation template|§No citation template]], below.
===Custom anchors===
A custom anchor using {{tl|sfnref}} can, at least temporarily, always make the shortened footnote look exactly the way you would like and still have a link that works. Many of the problems and workarounds below require a custom anchor.
All CS1 citation templates and several other templates allow you to set a custom anchor with parameter {{para|ref}}. The template {{tl|sfnRef}} creates an anchor that will match {{tl|sfn}}'s if it has the same parameters as {{tl|sfn}}. To use this technique, choose the name and year you would like to appear in {{tl|sfn}}, copy these parameters into {{tl|sfnRef}} and set {{tl|ref}} to the {{tl|sfnRef}}.
In other words, if you want this:
* {{tl2|sfn|<*''name you want''>|<''year''>|<''page / location''>}}
then set this:
* {{para|ref|{{tl2|sfnRef|<''name you want''>|<''year''>}}}}
in the template, and the link should work correctly.
The parameters must be <em>identical</em> in every respect. If the year is unusual (i.e. not a number), then include the year in the name and don't use the year position.
===Large number of authors===
If there are more than four authors, the first four authors' surnames (the value in {{para|last}} or {{para|author}}) are required by the template. Listing more authors is not supported. It is also possible to use a [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]] that sets the name field to "Smith et. al.".

}}}}
===More than one work in a year===
Where there is a need to cite more than one work ''by the same author published in the same year'', the standard way to disambiguate such works is to add a letter suffix after the year, e.g. "Smith 2006a" and "Smith 2006b".
Set the year element of the {{tlc|sfn}} templates (e.g. {{tlc|sfn|Smith|2006a}} and {{tlc|sfn|Smith|2006a}}), and add the disambiguation letter to the matching full citation, (e.g. <code><nowiki>{{cite book|...|last=Smith|date=2006b}}</nowiki></code>).
When {{tlc|sfn}} is used with {{tlx|citation}} or {{cs1}} templates, a year-suffix letter may be added to {{para|date}} for all accepted date formats except year-initial numeric ({{small|YYYY-MM-DD}}). It is not necessary to include both {{para|date}} and {{para|year}} (see exception [[#NB_YEAR|below]]). If both are included, {{para|year}} is used for the <code>CITEREF</code> anchor to be compliant with legacy citations.
:{{para|date|2013a}}: simple year only dates
:{{para|date|Jan 2013b}} or {{para|date|Winter 2013b}}: month or season and year dates
:{{para|date|9 November 2013b}} or {{para|date|November 9, 2013b}}: full dates
:{{para|date|June–July 2013c}} or {{para|date|Winter–Spring 2013c}}: month or season ranges and year dates
:{{para|date|c. 2013d}}: circa year dates
:{{para|date|{{#time:Y}}–{{#time:Y|now +1 year}}e}} or {{para|date|Summer {{#time:Y}}–{{#time:y|now +1 year}}e}}: year ranges
:{{para|date|n.d.f}}: no date (n.d.)
:{{anchor|NB_YEAR}}<s>{{para|date|2013g-11-09}}</s>: not supported, the template must use {{para|year|2013g}}. If month and day should be part of the citation as well, both parameters need to be given: {{para|date|2013-11-09}} {{para|year|2013x}}. In this case, {{para|date}} is used for citation display and metadata purposes, and {{para|year}} for link disambiguation.

===Two sources with same last names and years ===
An article might cite works from the same year by two different authors with the same last name. For example, an article might cite psychoanalysts [[Anna Freud]] and [[Sigmund Freud]], who both wrote books in the same year.
There are two solutions: it's possible to use the same technique described in the previous section. To differentiate between the two books, the first one can be given the year "1928a" and the second one "1928b".
Or, you can create a [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]] that adds an initial to the name fields, e.g. "A. Freud" and "S. Freud". The links will no longer conflict.

===Citation template has no year but has a date===
Either the {{para|date}} or {{para|year}} of a citation template can be matched—the template logic can extract the year from a full date. If the date parameter is not a full date, then the extraction will fail. If the link does not seem to work, it also possible to set both {{para|date}} and {{para|year}} parameters. The template will display the date and use the year for the anchor. These two examples show a year being successfully extracted from full date.

===Citation template has no date===
If the cited source does not have a date, you can use {{para|date|n.d.}} for the full citation and "n.d." in place of the date for the short citation:
{{markup
|<nowiki>This is a fact.{{sfn|Smith|n.d.}}
==Notes==
{{reflist}}
==References==
* {{Citation |last=Smith |title=Title |date=n.d. |publisher=Publisher |mode=cs1}}</nowiki>
|This is a fact.{{sfn|Smith|n.d.}}
{{fake heading|sub=3|Notes}}
{{reflist}}
{{fake heading|sub=3|References}}
* {{Citation |last=Smith |title=Title |date=n.d. |publisher=Publisher |mode=cs1}}
}}
===Citation template has no author name===
Some sources do not have a single author with a last name, such as a magazine article or a report from a government institution. There is no consensus (in Wikipedia or among citation styles) about how to format author–date citations for works that do not have a specific author. Several choices are:
# The title of the article, or a shortened form of the title, is recommended by some style guides.
# For a newspaper or periodical, you may use the name of the paper and the date.
# For a publication by an institution, use either:
## The initials of the institution
## The name of the institution
# Other style guides recommend using "Anonymous" or "Anon."
An article should adopt one of these styles consistently.
Use a [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]] to replace set the author name to one of these other choices, as shown in these examples below.

=== Citation template has no author, date or title ===
If the cited source does not have a date, author, or title, place a description of the source within brackets for the {{para|title}} parameter, use {{para|date|n.d.}} and create [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]] with the description in the name position and "n.d." in the year.
{{markup
|<nowiki>This is a fact.{{sfn|[Description]|n.d.}}

{{reflist}}
==References==

}}
===Citation template doesn't create a compatible anchor but has {{para|ref}} ===
{{See section|Wikipedia:Citation templates and reference anchors|Citation templates that create anchors}}
Some templates, such as {{tl|cite comic}}, {{tl|cite thesis}} and {{tl|cite map}} use the parameter {{para|ref}} to create an anchor for the short citation. This can be used to set a [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]] for {{tl|sfn}}
{{markup
|<nowiki>Article text.{{sfn|Morrison|1987}}
==Notes==
{{reflist}}
==References==
* {{cite comic
|writer=Morrison, Grant
|artist=Yeowell, Steve
|title=2000 AD
|date=August 15, 1987
|publisher=[[Fleetway]]

You could also use CITEREF directly with a concatenation of <code>#CITEREF</code> plus the parameters passed to the Harvard citation template.
===Citation template does not support any kind of anchor===
{{See section|Wikipedia:Citation templates and reference anchors|Citation templates that create anchors}}
There are a few templates that do not support any kind of anchor, including {{tl|cite report}}, {{tl|cite music release notes}}, {{tl|cite DVD-notes}}, {{tl|cite episode}} and others.
It is possible to use {{tl|wikicite}} to create an anchor. It has a {{para|ref}} parameter which can be set to a [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]]. In this example, the publisher is considered the editor.
{{markup
|<nowiki>
Article text.{{sfn|Big Government Agency|1999}}
==Notes==
{{reflist}}
==References==
* {{wikicite
| reference = {{cite report
| title=Important Government Report

}}
| ref = {{sfnref|Big Government Agency|1999}}
}}
</nowiki>|

===No citation template ===
If the citation is handwritten you should consider the citation format of the article. If citation templates are used often in this article, then check [[WP:Citation templates]] and try to find one that works for this source. If no template can be found, then this may be a source which can't be represented in our citation templates.
Use {{tl2|wikicite}} to make an anchor, setting Wikicite's {{para|ref}} to a [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]].
{{markup
|<nowiki>Article text.{{sfn |A particularly unusual citation}}
==Notes==
{{reflist}}
==References==
* {{wikicite
| reference = A source that can't be described
using our citation templates at all.
| ref = {{sfnref|A particularly unusual citation}}
}}
</nowiki>|

== Techniques and variations ==
=== Changing the appearance of the short citation ===
==== With a custom anchor ====
With a [[#custom anchors|custom anchor]], {{tl|sfn}} can have any appearance you want. Here are two examples that editors have asked about in the past.
* MLA style author-title short citations. Put name and title in {{para|1}}, don't set the year.
{{markup|<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">Article text.{{sfn|Ellison ''Ellison's Book''|p=13}}
{{reflist}}
* {{cite book
| last = Ellison | first = Larry
| title = Ellison's Book"
| year = 2011
| ref = {{sfnref|Ellison ''Ellison's Book''}}
}}
</syntaxhighlight>|
Article text.{{sfn|Ellison ''Ellison's Book''|p=13}}
{{reflist}}
* {{cite book
| last = Ellison | first = Larry
| title = Ellison's Book"
| year = 2011
| ref = {{sfnref|Ellison ''Ellison's Book''}}
}}
}}
* Adding the original date to a later edition of a book. Put the name, year and original date in {{para|1}}, don't set the year.
{{markup|<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">Article text.{{sfn|Voltaire 2030 [1752]|p=13}}
{{reflist}}
* {{cite book
| title = Le Micromégas
| author = [[Voltaire]]
| year = 2020
| orig-date = 1752
| ref = {{sfnref|Voltaire 2030 [1752]}}
}}
</syntaxhighlight>|

(See [[#url weirdness|below]] for a potential issue with this technique.)
===Citations inside explanatory footnotes===
Sometimes an explanatory footnote requires a citation. There are several acceptable solutions.
It is currently disputed (June 2026) whether parenthetical referencing (or narrative referencing, i.e. in-text attribution serving as referencing) is deprecated inside {{tag|ref}} tags used for explanatory footnotes.
Citations using {{tl1|sfn}} can't be directly embedded between {{tag|ref}} tags, because the following message will be produced: {{small|{{error|Cite error references missing group||nocat=true}}}}. But {{tl1|sfn}} can be used with templates {{tl1|efn}} and {{tl1|notelist}}, which separates the explanatory footnotes from the short citations, as shown in this example. (See also [[Chinese Room]], which is an article that makes extensive use of this technique.)

===Multiple lists of inline citations===
Sometimes there is a need to create two or more separate lists of inline footnotes. For example some family trees are contained in templates, they are transluded into several biographies, and they have their own self contained citations (see [[Template:Houston family tree]] and the article [[Margaret Lea Houston]]).
To facilitate this, while the main page uses the standard 1,2,3 footnote counting, it is common for family trees to use the efn template with a group parameter set—for example {{tlx|efn-lg}} (lower-greek). The efn templates are text templates, to link some or all of the content of the efn template to a long citation template such as {{tlx|cite book}} place {{tlx|harvnb}} or {{tlx|harv}} within the efn template.

{{anchor|Ps problems}}
== Open problems ==
=== Discouraged parameters ===
These parameters were designed to handle special cases that are better handled by other techniques.
====Parameter {{para|ps}}====
These templates have a parameter {{para|ps}}, designed to hold quotes and explanations.
Two or more {{tlc|sfn}} templates with the same authors, same year, and same page, but different {{para|ps}} will result in a {{small|{{error|Cite error: The named reference ... was defined multiple times with different content}}}} message. This message happens because the reference names that {{tlc|sfn}} creates will be the same, but the content between the {{tag|ref|params=name="FOOTNOTE..."|o}} tag and the {{tag|ref|c}} tag will be different.
A workaround is to convert the offending {{tlc|sfn}} templates to {{tlx|harvnb}} wrapped in {{tag|ref}} tags, as recommended in [[#Additional comments or quotes|§ Adding additional comments or quotes]]. This method is more versatile and robust.
Template {{para|ps}} also has a second (rare) use, when setting {{para|ps|none}}, which suppressed the final period. See [[#Variations in the format of the author-date citation|§ Variations in the format of the author-date citation]].
====Parameter {{para|ref}}====
The optional parameter {{para|ref}} was used to create an unusually named link from the short citation to the full citation. This typically would require setting the hand coded link on the full citation as well. It's easier to only set the link of the full citation to {{para|ref|{{tl2|sfnref}}}}.
If you specify {{para|ref|none}}, no hyperlink is created. However, if one does not want the link, it is always possible to simply use plain text instead of the template.
The parameter only appears in <nowiki>{{harv*}}</nowiki> templates, and may still appear in a few articles.
===Link works but displays a no target error===
When a short-cite template links to a full citation that is rendered by a template that wraps a CS1 template, like {{txl|cite DNB}} (which wraps {{txl|cite encyclopedia}}), a {{error-small|no target}} error may be displayed even when the short-cite template is valid and the link works. That is a "false positive" error. The error message can be suppressed by adding {{para|ignore-err|yes}} to the template, or by adding the template {{t|Sfn whitelist}} with the anchor ID(s) to the article. If you are testing changes in [[Special:ExpandTemplates]] and the error message cannot be suppressed, try testing in a sandbox or user subpage instead.
==={{ucfirst:sfn}} embedded in list-defined ref does not work===
If you [[Help:Footnotes#embedding references|embed]] an {{ucfirst:sfn}} 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}}.
==Implementation notes==
These templates use two elements: a [[wikilink]] in the body of the article, and an [[WP:ANCHOR DEF|anchor]] in the reference section of the article. Clicking on the wikilink repositions the page at the anchor.
===Citation template [[HTML element#Links and anchors|anchor]]===
{{See also|Wikipedia:Citation templates and reference anchors}}
The most common citation templates are {{cs1}} or {{cs2}}. By default, [[Module:Citation/CS1]] creates an [[HTML element#Links and anchors|anchor]] {{tag|a|o|params=name="CITEREF"}} followed by the concatenation of the following parameters:
* '''last''' or '''last1''' or '''surname''' or '''surname1''' or '''author-last''' or '''author-last1''' or '''author1-last''' or '''author-surname''' or '''author-surname1''' or '''author1-surname''' or '''author''' or '''author1''' or '''authors''',
* '''last2''' or '''surname2''' or '''author-last2''' or '''author2-last''' or '''author-surname2''' or '''author2-surname''' or '''author2''',
* '''last3''' or '''surname3''' or '''author-last3''' or '''author3-last''' or '''author-surname3''' or '''author3-surname''' or '''author3''',
* '''last4''' or '''surname4''' or '''author-last4''' or '''author4-last''' or '''author-surname4''' or '''author4-surname''' or '''author4''',
* '''editor-last''' or '''editor-last1''' or '''editor1-last''' or '''editor-surname''' or '''editor-surname1''' or '''editor1-surname''' or '''editor1''' or '''editor''',
* '''editor-last2''' or '''editor2-last''' or '''editor-surname2''' or '''editor2-surname''' or '''editor2''',
* '''editor-last3''' or '''editor3-last''' or '''editor-surname3''' or '''editor3-surname''' or '''editor3''',
* '''editor-last4''' or '''editor4-last''' or '''editor-surname4''' or '''editor4-surname''' or '''editor4''',
* '''date''', '''year'''
This covers the most common templates. Information about all of the templates is available at [[Wikipedia:Citation templates and reference anchors]].
Use of the '''date''' parameter in place of the '''year''' parameter in citation templates is preferred.
===Harvard citation wikilink===
The Harvard citation templates create a [[wikilink]] to the anchor. For example {{tlx|Harv|Smith|2006|4=p=25}} produces the link {{code|#CITEREFSmith2006}} and {{tlx|Citation|2=last=Smith|3=first=John|4=date=27 January 2006|5=title=My Life}} produces the anchor {{code|CITEREFSmith2006}}.
===Using CITEREF directly===
{{Shortcut|WP:CITEREF}}
A few articles create a custom ID using {{code|CITEREF}}, either in place of the Harvard citation template (e.g. <code><nowiki>[[#CITEREFSmith2006|(2006)]]</nowiki></code>) or as a value for {{para|ref}} in the citation template.
{{Refname rules|A custom ID must follow these rules:|
* If CITEREF is used, then spaces in the {{para|ref}} field must be replaced with underscores}}
Examples:
* {{tlx|sfn|{{var|cite name}}|{{var|year}}}}
* {{tlx|cite book|2=ref=CITEREF{{var|cite_nameyear}}}}
* {{tlx|cite book|2=ref={{tl|sfnref|{{var|cite_name}}|{{var|year}}}}}}
Where {{var|cite_name}} is a name such as the publisher.
To avoid the sometimes difficult to remember syntax for links to CITEREF anchors, {{tl|citeref}} can be used to create internal wikilinks with either small superscript-style labels (like this<sup>[n]</sup>) or plain free-text labels to such anchors. It can be used inside of other citations.
Note that the {{code|CITEREF}} prefix is necessary for the [[mw:Reference Tooltips|reference tooltips gadget]] ([[MediaWiki:Gadget-ReferenceTooltips.js]]) to detect that a link goes to a citation.
===[[Template:sfn|<code><nowiki>{{sfn}}</nowiki></code>]]'s [[WP:REFNAME|ref name]]===
Template {{tl2|sfn}} creates a [[WP:REFNAME|named footnote]], so that identical footnotes are combined automatically. The footnote name begins with {{code|FOOTNOTE}} followed by a concatenation of the arguments to {{tl2|sfn}}. E.g.: this template call:
* {{tlx|sfn|Smith|2006|4=p=26}}
should have exactly the same functionality as
* {{tag|ref|params=name="FOOTNOTESmith200626"|content={{tl2|Harvnb|Smith|2006|4=p=26}}.}}
which, in turn, has the same functionality as
* {{tag|ref|params=name="FOOTNOTESmith200626"|content=<nowiki>[[#CITEREFSmith2006|Smith (2006)]], p.&nbsp;26.</nowiki>}}.
{{anchor|url weirdness}}
The ref name becomes more complicated when the page (p) parameter includes a URL, e.g. {{tlg|sfn|Joyce|1903|p{{=}}[https://archive.org/details/aconcisehistory00joycgoog/page/n226 213]|code=on}}, which, once defined, can be called by {{tag|ref|empty|params=name="FOOTNOTEJoyce1903[httpsarchiveorgdetailsaconcisehistory00joycgoogpagen226 213]"}}. The "p=" and the characters |,:,.,/,?,=; are therefore stripped out of the URL. The content of the loc parameter is similarly appended after this.
The call to {{tl2|harvnb}} has been [[subst]]'ed for quicker load times.

{{Lua|Module:Footnotes|Module:Check for unknown parameters}}
The '''shortened footnote template''' {{tl|sfn}} creates a short [[WP:Citing sources#Short citations|author–date citation]] in a [[Wikipedia:Citing sources|footnote]], with a one-directional link to the first matching [[Wikipedia:Citation templates|citation template]] on the same page. It will combine identical footnotes automatically.
It is used to create {{sfnote|lc=y}}, a [[WP:CITESTYLE|citation style]] which pairs a short, author-date citation in a footnote with a [[WP:HOWCITE|complete citation]] in the references section at the end of the article (see example [[#Example|below]]). This citation style is used to simplify multiple citations to the same source and to reduce clutter in the edit window.
Common problems and known workarounds are given in the sections below. Use the table of contents to find what you need.
Note that the use (or even non-use) of these templates is an element of citation "style", and adding or removing them in articles with an established style should be consistent with that style. See [[WP:CITEVAR]].
==Usage==
'''Sfn''' generates an "author-date" style short-cite from the following parameters:
<div style="margin-left: 2em"><code>{{<nowiki>sfn</nowiki>| <{{var|last1}}*> | <{{var|last2}}> | <{{var|last3}}> | <{{var|last4}}> | <{{var|year}}*> | p= <{{var|page}}> | loc= <{{var|location}}> }}</code></div>
with
* <{{var|last1}}> – required; surname of first author or corporate author
* <{{var|last2}}>–<{{var|last4}}> – positional parameters; surnames of next three authors; required if available in the full citation
* <{{var|year}}> – required; four-digit year; may have a lowercase disambiguation letter, like {{pval|2012a}}
* {{para|p}} – specific page referenced in the source (alias: {{para|page}}{{hairspace}})
* {{para|pp}} – comma-separated list of [[Template:Csdoc#pages|individual pages and / or range(s) of pages]] referenced in the source (alias: {{para|pages}}{{hairspace}})
* {{para|loc}} – in-source location when {{para|p}} and {{para|pp}} are inappropriate; may be used to supplement {{para|p}} and {{para|pp}}; information such as a section or figure number. (alias: {{para|at}}{{hairspace}})
=== Example ===
Typical usage is shown in the example below. The text and the footnote are connected by a bi-directional link – clicking on the superscript takes the reader to the footnote, clicking on the footnote number takes them back to the superscript. The clicking on the short citation takes them to the full citation in the references section.
'''Sfn''' will also automatically combine identical footnotes.

Template '''sfn''' is not placed inside {{tag|ref}} tags and generates the footnote internally. (To place '''sfn''' in a footnote, see [[#A citation inside an explanatory footnote|putting a citation inside a footnote]], below.)
===Parameters===
====Author(s) and year====
The first four author surnames (or all authors if fewer than four; use the values from {{para|last''N''}} or {{para|author''N''}}{{hairspace}}) are required, followed by the year of publication (from {{para|year}} or {{para|date}}). Authors past the fourth must be omitted or an error will result.
The [[#Possible issues with author-date link|possible issues]] section below describes workarounds for various common problems, such as [[#Large number of authors|large number of authors]], [[#No author name in citation template|no author name]], [[#More than one work in a year|multiple works in the same year]], [[#Two sources with same last names and years|Two sources with same last names and years]] and others.

==Possible issues with author-date link==
{{for|information on how to turn on error messages for broken links|:Category:Harv and Sfn template errors}}
These are techniques that address various unusual difficulties with the link between the short citation and the full citation.
Templates that have broken [[wikilink]]s using these templates are added to the category {{cat|All articles with broken links to citations}}.
===Wikilink to citation does not work===
If an article is using this template and nothing happens when you click on the highlighted [[wikilink]] from the [[WP:SHORTCITE|short citation]] to the [[WP:SHORTCITE|full citation]] at the bottom of the page, there are several possible solutions. If:
# Templates like this one are rarely used in this article. '''Solution''': Remove this template and format the citation in the style used most often in the article.
# The correct full citation does ''not'' appear at the bottom of the article. '''Solution''': Find the source (it may be copied from an article on a similar subject), and check that it verifies the text. If the source can't be found, replace this template with {{tl2|citation not found}}.
# The correct full citation appears at the bottom of the article, and
## The full citation uses a template from the list at [[Help:Citation Style 1|Citation Style 1]]:
### The citation template has only {{para|author}} and this template uses the last name. '''Solution''': Either (a) split the author name in to {{para|last}} and {{para|first}} in the full citation or (b) use the full name in the short citation. Be careful in either case to be consistent with the other citations in the article.
### The name in the short citation is spelled or capitalized differently than in the full citation. '''Solution''': Check the source for the correct spelling, and use the same spelling, spacing, and capitalization in both the short and full citations.
### There is more than one full citation with the same last name and year. '''Solution''': See [[#More than one work in a year|§More than one work in a year]] or [[#Two sources with same last names and years|§Two sources with same last names and years]].
### The year is different here than the full citation. '''Solution''': Check the source for the correct year, and use the same year in both the short and full citations.
### The template has a {{para|date}} field and no {{para|year}} field, but the format of the {{para|date}} field is unusual. '''Solution''': Try to fix the date. If the link still does not work, add {{para|year}} to the citation template. (It's okay if it has both.)
### The template does not have a year, or the date is set to "n.d." (no date). '''Solution''': Set the year field of this template to "n.d.".
### The template does not have an author's or an editor's, last name (authors take precedence over editors). '''Solution''': See [[#Citation template has no author name|§Citation template has no author name]], below.
### The template has no author, date or title. '''Solution''': See [[#Citation template has no author, date or title|§Citation template has no author, date or title]]
##Find the citation template in [[Wikipedia:Citation templates and reference anchors#Citation templates that create anchors|WP:Citation templates and anchors]] and find out if it has support for an anchor.
### The citation template doesn't automatically create the anchor, but has {{para|ref}}. '''Solution''': See [[#Citation template doesn't create a compatible anchor but has %7Cref=|§Citation template doesn't create a compatible anchor but has {{para|ref}}]], below.
### The citation template doesn't support anchors at all. '''Solution''': See [[#Citation template does not support any kind of anchor|§Citation format does not support any kind of anchor]], below.
##The full citation is handwritten.
### There are no other citation templates in the article. This is probably because local editors prefer it that way. '''Solution''': You should adapt to the style of the article. This would probably entail removing this template and formatting the short citation in plain text or replacing it with a full citation in {{tag|ref}} tags.
### There are citation templates used liberally throughout the article. '''Solution''': Reformat the source with the appropriate {{cite *}} template (and set the {{para|ref}} appropriately, if necessary).
### No appropriate template can be found. '''Solution''': See [[#No citation template|§No citation template]], below.
===Custom anchors===
A custom anchor using {{tl|sfnref}} can, at least temporarily, always make the shortened footnote look exactly the way you would like and still have a link that works. Many of the problems and workarounds below require a custom anchor.
All CS1 citation templates and several other templates allow you to set a custom anchor with parameter {{para|ref}}. The template {{tl|sfnRef}} creates an anchor that will match {{tl|sfn}}'s if it has the same parameters as {{tl|sfn}}. To use this technique, choose the name and year you would like to appear in {{tl|sfn}}, copy these parameters into {{tl|sfnRef}} and set {{tl|ref}} to the {{tl|sfnRef}}.
In other words, if you want this:
* {{tl2|sfn|<*''name you want''>|<''year''>|<''page / location''>}}
then set this:
* {{para|ref|{{tl2|sfnRef|<''name you want''>|<''year''>}}}}
in the template, and the link should work correctly.
The parameters must be <em>identical</em> in every respect. If the year is unusual (i.e. not a number), then include the year in the name and don't use the year position.
===Large number of authors===
If there are more than four authors, the first four authors' surnames (the value in {{para|last}} or {{para|author}}) are required by the template. Listing more authors is not supported. It is also possible to use a [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]] that sets the name field to "Smith et. al.".

}}}}
===More than one work in a year===
Where there is a need to cite more than one work ''by the same author published in the same year'', the standard way to disambiguate such works is to add a letter suffix after the year, e.g. "Smith 2006a" and "Smith 2006b".
Set the year element of the {{tlc|sfn}} templates (e.g. {{tlc|sfn|Smith|2006a}} and {{tlc|sfn|Smith|2006a}}), and add the disambiguation letter to the matching full citation, (e.g. <code><nowiki>{{cite book|...|last=Smith|date=2006b}}</nowiki></code>).
When {{tlc|sfn}} is used with {{tlx|citation}} or {{cs1}} templates, a year-suffix letter may be added to {{para|date}} for all accepted date formats except year-initial numeric ({{small|YYYY-MM-DD}}). It is not necessary to include both {{para|date}} and {{para|year}} (see exception [[#NB_YEAR|below]]). If both are included, {{para|year}} is used for the <code>CITEREF</code> anchor to be compliant with legacy citations.
:{{para|date|2013a}}: simple year only dates
:{{para|date|Jan 2013b}} or {{para|date|Winter 2013b}}: month or season and year dates
:{{para|date|9 November 2013b}} or {{para|date|November 9, 2013b}}: full dates

In this case, {{para|date}} is used for citation display and metadata purposes, and {{para|year}} for link disambiguation.

===Two sources with same last names and years ===
An article might cite works from the same year by two different authors with the same last name. For example, an article might cite psychoanalysts [[Anna Freud]] and [[Sigmund Freud]], who both wrote books in the same year.
There are two solutions: it's possible to use the same technique described in the previous section. To differentiate between the two books, the first one can be given the year "1928a" and the second one "1928b".
Or, you can create a [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]] that adds an initial to the name fields, e.g. "A. Freud" and "S. Freud". The links will no longer conflict.

===Citation template has no year but has a date===
Either the {{para|date}} or {{para|year}} of a citation template can be matched—the template logic can extract the year from a full date. If the date parameter is not a full date, then the extraction will fail. If the link does not seem to work, it also possible to set both {{para|date}} and {{para|year}} parameters. The template will display the date and use the year for the anchor. These two examples show a year being successfully extracted from full date.

===Citation template has no date===
If the cited source does not have a date, you can use {{para|date|n.d.}} for the full citation and "n.d." in place of the date for the short citation:
{{markup
|<nowiki>This is a fact.{{sfn|Smith|n.d.}}
==Notes==
{{reflist}}
==References==
* {{Citation |last=Smith |title=Title |date=n.d. |publisher=Publisher |mode=cs1}}</nowiki>

{{fake heading|sub=3|Notes}}
{{reflist}}
{{fake heading|sub=3|References}}
* {{Citation |last=Smith |title=Title |date=n.d. |publisher=Publisher |mode=cs1}}
}}
===Citation template has no author name===
Some sources do not have a single author with a last name, such as a magazine article or a report from a government institution. There is no consensus (in Wikipedia or among citation styles) about how to format author–date citations for works that do not have a specific author. Several choices are:
# The title of the article, or a shortened form of the title, is recommended by some style guides.
# For a newspaper or periodical, you may use the name of the paper and the date.
# For a publication by an institution, use either:
## The initials of the institution
## The name of the institution
# Other style guides recommend using "Anonymous" or "Anon."
An article should adopt one of these styles consistently.
Use a [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]] to replace set the author name to one of these other choices, as shown in these examples below.

=== Citation template has no author, date or title ===
If the cited source does not have a date, author, or title, place a description of the source within brackets for the {{para|title}} parameter, use {{para|date|n.d.}} and create [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]] with the description in the name position and "n.d." in the year.
{{markup

{{See section|Wikipedia:Citation templates and reference anchors|Citation templates that create anchors}}
Some templates, such as {{tl|cite comic}}, {{tl|cite thesis}} and {{tl|cite map}} use the parameter {{para|ref}} to create an anchor for the short citation. This can be used to set a [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]] for {{tl|sfn}}
{{markup
|<nowiki>Article text.{{sfn|Morrison|1987}}
==Notes==
{{reflist}}
==References==
* {{cite comic

You could also use CITEREF directly with a concatenation of <code>#CITEREF</code> plus the parameters passed to the Harvard citation template.
===Citation template does not support any kind of anchor===
{{See section|Wikipedia:Citation templates and reference anchors|Citation templates that create anchors}}
There are a few templates that do not support any kind of anchor, including {{tl|cite report}}, {{tl|cite music release notes}}, {{tl|cite DVD-notes}}, {{tl|cite episode}} and others.
It is possible to use {{tl|wikicite}} to create an anchor. It has a {{para|ref}} parameter which can be set to a [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]]. In this example, the publisher is considered the editor.
{{markup
|<nowiki>
Article text.{{sfn|Big Government Agency|1999}}

{{reflist}}
==References==
* {{wikicite
| reference = {{cite report

===No citation template ===
If the citation is handwritten you should consider the citation format of the article. If citation templates are used often in this article, then check [[WP:Citation templates]] and try to find one that works for this source. If no template can be found, then this may be a source which can't be represented in our citation templates.
Use {{tl2|wikicite}} to make an anchor, setting Wikicite's {{para|ref}} to a [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]].
{{markup
|<nowiki>Article text.{{sfn |A particularly unusual citation}}
==Notes==
{{reflist}}
==References==
* {{wikicite
| reference = A source that can't be described
using our citation templates at all.

== Techniques and variations ==
=== Changing the appearance of the short citation ===
==== With a custom anchor ====
With a [[#custom anchors|custom anchor]], {{tl|sfn}} can have any appearance you want. Here are two examples that editors have asked about in the past.
* MLA style author-title short citations. Put name and title in {{para|1}}, don't set the year.
{{markup|<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">Article text.{{sfn|Ellison ''Ellison's Book''|p=13}}
{{reflist}}
* {{cite book
| last = Ellison | first = Larry
| title = Ellison's Book"
| year = 2011
| ref = {{sfnref|Ellison ''Ellison's Book''}}
}}
</syntaxhighlight>|
Article text.{{sfn|Ellison ''Ellison's Book''|p=13}}
{{reflist}}
* {{cite book
| last = Ellison | first = Larry
| title = Ellison's Book"
| year = 2011
| ref = {{sfnref|Ellison ''Ellison's Book''}}
}}
}}
* Adding the original date to a later edition of a book. Put the name, year and original date in {{para|1}}, don't set the year.
{{markup|<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">Article text.{{sfn|Voltaire 2030 [1752]|p=13}}
{{reflist}}
* {{cite book
| title = Le Micromégas
| author = [[Voltaire]]
| year = 2020
| orig-date = 1752
| ref = {{sfnref|Voltaire 2030 [1752]}}
}}
</syntaxhighlight>|

(See [[#url weirdness|below]] for a potential issue with this technique.)
===Citations inside explanatory footnotes===
Sometimes an explanatory footnote requires a citation. There are several acceptable solutions.
It is currently disputed (June 2026) whether parenthetical referencing (or narrative referencing, i.e. in-text attribution serving as referencing) is deprecated inside {{tag|ref}} tags used for explanatory footnotes.
Citations using {{tl1|sfn}} can't be directly embedded between {{tag|ref}} tags, because the following message will be produced: {{small|{{error|Cite error references missing group||nocat=true}}}}. But {{tl1|sfn}} can be used with templates {{tl1|efn}} and {{tl1|notelist}}, which separates the explanatory footnotes from the short citations, as shown in this example. (See also [[Chinese Room]], which is an article that makes extensive use of this technique.)

===Multiple lists of inline citations===
Sometimes there is a need to create two or more separate lists of inline footnotes. For example some family trees are contained in templates, they are transluded into several biographies, and they have their own self contained citations (see [[Template:Houston family tree]] and the article [[Margaret Lea Houston]]).
To facilitate this, while the main page uses the standard 1,2,3 footnote counting, it is common for family trees to use the efn template with a group parameter set—for example {{tlx|efn-lg}} (lower-greek). The efn templates are text templates, to link some or all of the content of the efn template to a long citation template such as {{tlx|cite book}} place {{tlx|harvnb}} or {{tlx|harv}} within the efn template.

===More exotic Harvard citations===
{{Main|Template:Harvard citations}}
More exotic Harvard citations can be constructed using the {{tl2|harvs}} template, such as multiple papers by the same author, using both the first and last names, links to articles about the author, and others.

{{anchor|Ps problems}}
== Open problems ==
=== Discouraged parameters ===
These parameters were designed to handle special cases that are better handled by other techniques.
====Parameter {{para|ps}}====
These templates have a parameter {{para|ps}}, designed to hold quotes and explanations.
Two or more {{tlc|sfn}} templates with the same authors, same year, and same page, but different {{para|ps}} will result in a {{small|{{error|Cite error: The named reference ... was defined multiple times with different content}}}} message. This message happens because the reference names that {{tlc|sfn}} creates will be the same, but the content between the {{tag|ref|params=name="FOOTNOTE..."|o}} tag and the {{tag|ref|c}} tag will be different.
A workaround is to convert the offending {{tlc|sfn}} templates to {{tlx|harvnb}} wrapped in {{tag|ref}} tags, as recommended in [[#Additional comments or quotes|§ Adding additional comments or quotes]]. This method is more versatile and robust.
Template {{para|ps}} also has a second (rare) use, when setting {{para|ps|none}}, which suppressed the final period. See [[#Variations in the format of the author-date citation|§ Variations in the format of the author-date citation]].
====Parameter {{para|ref}}====
The optional parameter {{para|ref}} was used to create an unusually named link from the short citation to the full citation. This typically would require setting the hand coded link on the full citation as well. It's easier to only set the link of the full citation to {{para|ref|{{tl2|sfnref}}}}.
If you specify {{para|ref|none}}, no hyperlink is created. However, if one does not want the link, it is always possible to simply use plain text instead of the template.
The parameter only appears in <nowiki>{{harv*}}</nowiki> templates, and may still appear in a few articles.
===Link works but displays a no target error===
When a short-cite template links to a full citation that is rendered by a template that wraps a CS1 template, like {{txl|cite DNB}} (which wraps {{txl|cite encyclopedia}}), a {{error-small|no target}} error may be displayed even when the short-cite template is valid and the link works. That is a "false positive" error. The error message can be suppressed by adding {{para|ignore-err|yes}} to the template, or by adding the template {{t|Sfn whitelist}} with the anchor ID(s) to the article. If you are testing changes in [[Special:ExpandTemplates]] and the error message cannot be suppressed, try testing in a sandbox or user subpage instead.
==={{ucfirst:sfn}} embedded in list-defined ref does not work===
If you [[Help:Footnotes#embedding references|embed]] an {{ucfirst:sfn}} 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}}.
==Implementation notes==
These templates use two elements: a [[wikilink]] in the body of the article, and an [[WP:ANCHOR DEF|anchor]] in the reference section of the article. Clicking on the wikilink repositions the page at the anchor.
===Citation template [[HTML element#Links and anchors|anchor]]===
{{See also|Wikipedia:Citation templates and reference anchors}}
The most common citation templates are {{cs1}} or {{cs2}}. By default, [[Module:Citation/CS1]] creates an [[HTML element#Links and anchors|anchor]] {{tag|a|o|params=name="CITEREF"}} followed by the concatenation of the following parameters:
* '''last''' or '''last1''' or '''surname''' or '''surname1''' or '''author-last''' or '''author-last1''' or '''author1-last''' or '''author-surname''' or '''author-surname1''' or '''author1-surname''' or '''author''' or '''author1''' or '''authors''',
* '''last2''' or '''surname2''' or '''author-last2''' or '''author2-last''' or '''author-surname2''' or '''author2-surname''' or '''author2''',
* '''last3''' or '''surname3''' or '''author-last3''' or '''author3-last''' or '''author-surname3''' or '''author3-surname''' or '''author3''',
* '''last4''' or '''surname4''' or '''author-last4''' or '''author4-last''' or '''author-surname4''' or '''author4-surname''' or '''author4''',
* '''editor-last''' or '''editor-last1''' or '''editor1-last''' or '''editor-surname''' or '''editor-surname1''' or '''editor1-surname''' or '''editor1''' or '''editor''',
* '''editor-last2''' or '''editor2-last''' or '''editor-surname2''' or '''editor2-surname''' or '''editor2''',
* '''editor-last3''' or '''editor3-last''' or '''editor-surname3''' or '''editor3-surname''' or '''editor3''',
* '''editor-last4''' or '''editor4-last''' or '''editor-surname4''' or '''editor4-surname''' or '''editor4''',
* '''date''', '''year'''
This covers the most common templates. Information about all of the templates is available at [[Wikipedia:Citation templates and reference anchors]].
Use of the '''date''' parameter in place of the '''year''' parameter in citation templates is preferred.
===Harvard citation wikilink===
The Harvard citation templates create a [[wikilink]] to the anchor. For example {{tlx|Harv|Smith|2006|4=p=25}} produces the link {{code|#CITEREFSmith2006}} and {{tlx|Citation|2=last=Smith|3=first=John|4=date=27 January 2006|5=title=My Life}} produces the anchor {{code|CITEREFSmith2006}}.
===Using CITEREF directly===
{{Shortcut|WP:CITEREF}}
A few articles create a custom ID using {{code|CITEREF}}, either in place of the Harvard citation template (e.g. <code><nowiki>[[#CITEREFSmith2006|(2006)]]</nowiki></code>) or as a value for {{para|ref}} in the citation template.
{{Refname rules|A custom ID must follow these rules:|
* If CITEREF is used, then spaces in the {{para|ref}} field must be replaced with underscores}}
Examples:
* {{tlx|sfn|{{var|cite name}}|{{var|year}}}}
* {{tlx|cite book|2=ref=CITEREF{{var|cite_nameyear}}}}
* {{tlx|cite book|2=ref={{tl|sfnref|{{var|cite_name}}|{{var|year}}}}}}
Where {{var|cite_name}} is a name such as the publisher.
To avoid the sometimes difficult to remember syntax for links to CITEREF anchors, {{tl|citeref}} can be used to create internal wikilinks with either small superscript-style labels (like this<sup>[n]</sup>) or plain free-text labels to such anchors. It can be used inside of other citations.
Note that the {{code|CITEREF}} prefix is necessary for the [[mw:Reference Tooltips|reference tooltips gadget]] ([[MediaWiki:Gadget-ReferenceTooltips.js]]) to detect that a link goes to a citation.
===[[Template:sfn|<code><nowiki>{{sfn}}</nowiki></code>]]'s [[WP:REFNAME|ref name]]===
Template {{tl2|sfn}} creates a [[WP:REFNAME|named footnote]], so that identical footnotes are combined automatically. The footnote name begins with {{code|FOOTNOTE}} followed by a concatenation of the arguments to {{tl2|sfn}}. E.g.: this template call:
* {{tlx|sfn|Smith|2006|4=p=26}}
should have exactly the same functionality as
* {{tag|ref|params=name="FOOTNOTESmith200626"|content={{tl2|Harvnb|Smith|2006|4=p=26}}.}}
which, in turn, has the same functionality as
* {{tag|ref|params=name="FOOTNOTESmith200626"|content=<nowiki>[[#CITEREFSmith2006|Smith (2006)]], p.&nbsp;26.</nowiki>}}.
{{anchor|url weirdness}}
The ref name becomes more complicated when the page (p) parameter includes a URL, e.g. {{tlg|sfn|Joyce|1903|p{{=}}[https://archive.org/details/aconcisehistory00joycgoog/page/n226 213]|code=on}}, which, once defined, can be called by {{tag|ref|empty|params=name="FOOTNOTEJoyce1903[httpsarchiveorgdetailsaconcisehistory00joycgoogpagen226 213]"}}. The "p=" and the characters |,:,.,/,?,=; are therefore stripped out of the URL. The content of the loc parameter is similarly appended after this.
The call to {{tl2|harvnb}} has been [[subst]]'ed for quicker load times.

{{Lua|Module:Footnotes|Module:Check for unknown parameters}}
The '''shortened footnote template''' {{tl|sfn}} creates a short [[WP:Citing sources#Short citations|author–date citation]] in a [[Wikipedia:Citing sources|footnote]], with a one-directional link to the first matching [[Wikipedia:Citation templates|citation template]] on the same page. It will combine identical footnotes automatically.
It is used to create {{sfnote|lc=y}}, a [[WP:CITESTYLE|citation style]] which pairs a short, author-date citation in a footnote with a [[WP:HOWCITE|complete citation]] in the references section at the end of the article (see example [[#Example|below]]). This citation style is used to simplify multiple citations to the same source and to reduce clutter in the edit window.
Common problems and known workarounds are given in the sections below. Use the table of contents to find what you need.
Note that the use (or even non-use) of these templates is an element of citation "style", and adding or removing them in articles with an established style should be consistent with that style. See [[WP:CITEVAR]].
==Usage==
'''Sfn''' generates an "author-date" style short-cite from the following parameters:
<div style="margin-left: 2em"><code>{{<nowiki>sfn</nowiki>| <{{var|last1}}*> | <{{var|last2}}> | <{{var|last3}}> | <{{var|last4}}> | <{{var|year}}*> | p= <{{var|page}}> | loc= <{{var|location}}> }}</code></div>
with
* <{{var|last1}}> – required; surname of first author or corporate author
* <{{var|last2}}>–<{{var|last4}}> – positional parameters; surnames of next three authors; required if available in the full citation
* <{{var|year}}> – required; four-digit year; may have a lowercase disambiguation letter, like {{pval|2012a}}
* {{para|p}} – specific page referenced in the source (alias: {{para|page}}{{hairspace}})
* {{para|pp}} – comma-separated list of [[Template:Csdoc#pages|individual pages and / or range(s) of pages]] referenced in the source (alias: {{para|pages}}{{hairspace}})
* {{para|loc}} – in-source location when {{para|p}} and {{para|pp}} are inappropriate; may be used to supplement {{para|p}} and {{para|pp}}; information such as a section or figure number. (alias: {{para|at}}{{hairspace}})
=== Example ===
Typical usage is shown in the example below. The text and the footnote are connected by a bi-directional link – clicking on the superscript takes the reader to the footnote, clicking on the footnote number takes them back to the superscript. The clicking on the short citation takes them to the full citation in the references section.
'''Sfn''' will also automatically combine identical footnotes.

Template '''sfn''' is not placed inside {{tag|ref}} tags and generates the footnote internally. (To place '''sfn''' in a footnote, see [[#A citation inside an explanatory footnote|putting a citation inside a footnote]], below.)
===Parameters===
====Author(s) and year====
The first four author surnames (or all authors if fewer than four; use the values from {{para|last''N''}} or {{para|author''N''}}{{hairspace}}) are required, followed by the year of publication (from {{para|year}} or {{para|date}}). Authors past the fourth must be omitted or an error will result.
The [[#Possible issues with author-date link|possible issues]] section below describes workarounds for various common problems, such as [[#Large number of authors|large number of authors]], [[#No author name in citation template|no author name]], [[#More than one work in a year|multiple works in the same year]], [[#Two sources with same last names and years|Two sources with same last names and years]] and others.

Use {{para|p}} for single pages; use {{para|pp}} for multiple pages (such as ranges). Use of {{para|p}} for multiple pages or {{para|pp}} for single pages can cause [[Help:Cite errors/Cite error references duplicate key|cite errors]].
{{para|loc}} can be used to specify a location in the source in another way, such as section numbers or chapters. It can also be combined with {{para|p}} or {{para|pp}}.

==Possible issues with author-date link==
{{for|information on how to turn on error messages for broken links|:Category:Harv and Sfn template errors}}
These are techniques that address various unusual difficulties with the link between the short citation and the full citation.
Templates that have broken [[wikilink]]s using these templates are added to the category {{cat|All articles with broken links to citations}}.
===Wikilink to citation does not work===
If an article is using this template and nothing happens when you click on the highlighted [[wikilink]] from the [[WP:SHORTCITE|short citation]] to the [[WP:SHORTCITE|full citation]] at the bottom of the page, there are several possible solutions. If:
# Templates like this one are rarely used in this article. '''Solution''': Remove this template and format the citation in the style used most often in the article.
# The correct full citation does ''not'' appear at the bottom of the article. '''Solution''': Find the source (it may be copied from an article on a similar subject), and check that it verifies the text. If the source can't be found, replace this template with {{tl2|citation not found}}.
# The correct full citation appears at the bottom of the article, and
## The full citation uses a template from the list at [[Help:Citation Style 1|Citation Style 1]]:
### The citation template has only {{para|author}} and this template uses the last name. '''Solution''': Either (a) split the author name in to {{para|last}} and {{para|first}} in the full citation or (b) use the full name in the short citation. Be careful in either case to be consistent with the other citations in the article.
### The name in the short citation is spelled or capitalized differently than in the full citation. '''Solution''': Check the source for the correct spelling, and use the same spelling, spacing, and capitalization in both the short and full citations.
### There is more than one full citation with the same last name and year. '''Solution''': See [[#More than one work in a year|§More than one work in a year]] or [[#Two sources with same last names and years|§Two sources with same last names and years]].
### The year is different here than the full citation. '''Solution''': Check the source for the correct year, and use the same year in both the short and full citations.
### The template has a {{para|date}} field and no {{para|year}} field, but the format of the {{para|date}} field is unusual. '''Solution''': Try to fix the date. If the link still does not work, add {{para|year}} to the citation template. (It's okay if it has both.)
### The template does not have a year, or the date is set to "n.d." (no date). '''Solution''': Set the year field of this template to "n.d.".
### The template does not have an author's or an editor's, last name (authors take precedence over editors). '''Solution''': See [[#Citation template has no author name|§Citation template has no author name]], below.
### The template has no author, date or title. '''Solution''': See [[#Citation template has no author, date or title|§Citation template has no author, date or title]]
##Find the citation template in [[Wikipedia:Citation templates and reference anchors#Citation templates that create anchors|WP:Citation templates and anchors]] and find out if it has support for an anchor.
### The citation template doesn't automatically create the anchor, but has {{para|ref}}. '''Solution''': See [[#Citation template doesn't create a compatible anchor but has %7Cref=|§Citation template doesn't create a compatible anchor but has {{para|ref}}]], below.
### The citation template doesn't support anchors at all. '''Solution''': See [[#Citation template does not support any kind of anchor|§Citation format does not support any kind of anchor]], below.
##The full citation is handwritten.
### There are no other citation templates in the article. This is probably because local editors prefer it that way. '''Solution''': You should adapt to the style of the article. This would probably entail removing this template and formatting the short citation in plain text or replacing it with a full citation in {{tag|ref}} tags.
### There are citation templates used liberally throughout the article. '''Solution''': Reformat the source with the appropriate {{cite *}} template (and set the {{para|ref}} appropriately, if necessary).
### No appropriate template can be found. '''Solution''': See [[#No citation template|§No citation template]], below.
===Custom anchors===
A custom anchor using {{tl|sfnref}} can, at least temporarily, always make the shortened footnote look exactly the way you would like and still have a link that works. Many of the problems and workarounds below require a custom anchor.
All CS1 citation templates and several other templates allow you to set a custom anchor with parameter {{para|ref}}. The template {{tl|sfnRef}} creates an anchor that will match {{tl|sfn}}'s if it has the same parameters as {{tl|sfn}}. To use this technique, choose the name and year you would like to appear in {{tl|sfn}}, copy these parameters into {{tl|sfnRef}} and set {{tl|ref}} to the {{tl|sfnRef}}.
In other words, if you want this:
* {{tl2|sfn|<*''name you want''>|<''year''>|<''page / location''>}}
then set this:
* {{para|ref|{{tl2|sfnRef|<''name you want''>|<''year''>}}}}
in the template, and the link should work correctly.
The parameters must be <em>identical</em> in every respect. If the year is unusual (i.e. not a number), then include the year in the name and don't use the year position.
===Large number of authors===
If there are more than four authors, the first four authors' surnames (the value in {{para|last}} or {{para|author}}) are required by the template. Listing more authors is not supported. It is also possible to use a [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]] that sets the name field to "Smith et. al.".

===More than one work in a year===
Where there is a need to cite more than one work ''by the same author published in the same year'', the standard way to disambiguate such works is to add a letter suffix after the year, e.g. "Smith 2006a" and "Smith 2006b".
Set the year element of the {{tlc|sfn}} templates (e.g. {{tlc|sfn|Smith|2006a}} and {{tlc|sfn|Smith|2006a}}), and add the disambiguation letter to the matching full citation, (e.g. <code><nowiki>{{cite book|...|last=Smith|date=2006b}}</nowiki></code>).
When {{tlc|sfn}} is used with {{tlx|citation}} or {{cs1}} templates, a year-suffix letter may be added to {{para|date}} for all accepted date formats except year-initial numeric ({{small|YYYY-MM-DD}}). It is not necessary to include both {{para|date}} and {{para|year}} (see exception [[#NB_YEAR|below]]). If both are included, {{para|year}} is used for the <code>CITEREF</code> anchor to be compliant with legacy citations.
:{{para|date|2013a}}: simple year only dates
:{{para|date|Jan 2013b}} or {{para|date|Winter 2013b}}: month or season and year dates
:{{para|date|9 November 2013b}} or {{para|date|November 9, 2013b}}: full dates
:{{para|date|June–July 2013c}} or {{para|date|Winter–Spring 2013c}}: month or season ranges and year dates
:{{para|date|c. 2013d}}: circa year dates
:{{para|date|{{#time:Y}}–{{#time:Y|now +1 year}}e}} or {{para|date|Summer {{#time:Y}}–{{#time:y|now +1 year}}e}}: year ranges
:{{para|date|n.d.f}}: no date (n.d.)
:{{anchor|NB_YEAR}}<s>{{para|date|2013g-11-09}}</s>: not supported, the template must use {{para|year|2013g}}. If month and day should be part of the citation as well, both parameters need to be given: {{para|date|2013-11-09}} {{para|year|2013x}}. In this case, {{para|date}} is used for citation display and metadata purposes, and {{para|year}} for link disambiguation.

===Two sources with same last names and years ===
An article might cite works from the same year by two different authors with the same last name. For example, an article might cite psychoanalysts [[Anna Freud]] and [[Sigmund Freud]], who both wrote books in the same year.
There are two solutions: it's possible to use the same technique described in the previous section. To differentiate between the two books, the first one can be given the year "1928a" and the second one "1928b".
Or, you can create a [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]] that adds an initial to the name fields, e.g. "A. Freud" and "S. Freud". The links will no longer conflict.

===Citation template has no year but has a date===
Either the {{para|date}} or {{para|year}} of a citation template can be matched—the template logic can extract the year from a full date. If the date parameter is not a full date, then the extraction will fail. If the link does not seem to work, it also possible to set both {{para|date}} and {{para|year}} parameters. The template will display the date and use the year for the anchor. These two examples show a year being successfully extracted from full date.

===Citation template has no date===
If the cited source does not have a date, you can use {{para|date|n.d.}} for the full citation and "n.d." in place of the date for the short citation:
{{markup
|<nowiki>This is a fact.{{sfn|Smith|n.d.}}
==Notes==
{{reflist}}
==References==
* {{Citation |last=Smith |title=Title |date=n.d. |publisher=Publisher |mode=cs1}}</nowiki>

{{fake heading|sub=3|Notes}}
{{reflist}}
{{fake heading|sub=3|References}}
* {{Citation |last=Smith |title=Title |date=n.d. |publisher=Publisher |mode=cs1}}
}}
===Citation template has no author name===
Some sources do not have a single author with a last name, such as a magazine article or a report from a government institution. There is no consensus (in Wikipedia or among citation styles) about how to format author–date citations for works that do not have a specific author. Several choices are:
# The title of the article, or a shortened form of the title, is recommended by some style guides.
# For a newspaper or periodical, you may use the name of the paper and the date.
# For a publication by an institution, use either:
## The initials of the institution
## The name of the institution
# Other style guides recommend using "Anonymous" or "Anon."
An article should adopt one of these styles consistently.
Use a [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]] to replace set the author name to one of these other choices, as shown in these examples below.

=== Citation template has no author, date or title ===
If the cited source does not have a date, author, or title, place a description of the source within brackets for the {{para|title}} parameter, use {{para|date|n.d.}} and create [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]] with the description in the name position and "n.d." in the year.
{{markup

===Citation template doesn't create a compatible anchor but has {{para|ref}} ===
{{See section|Wikipedia:Citation templates and reference anchors|Citation templates that create anchors}}
Some templates, such as {{tl|cite comic}}, {{tl|cite thesis}} and {{tl|cite map}} use the parameter {{para|ref}} to create an anchor for the short citation. This can be used to set a [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]] for {{tl|sfn}}
{{markup
|<nowiki>Article text.{{sfn|Morrison|1987}}
==Notes==
{{reflist}}
==References==
* {{cite comic
|writer=Morrison, Grant

}}}}}}
You could also use CITEREF directly with a concatenation of <code>#CITEREF</code> plus the parameters passed to the Harvard citation template.
===Citation template does not support any kind of anchor===
{{See section|Wikipedia:Citation templates and reference anchors|Citation templates that create anchors}}
There are a few templates that do not support any kind of anchor, including {{tl|cite report}}, {{tl|cite music release notes}}, {{tl|cite DVD-notes}}, {{tl|cite episode}} and others.
It is possible to use {{tl|wikicite}} to create an anchor. It has a {{para|ref}} parameter which can be set to a [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]]. In this example, the publisher is considered the editor.
{{markup
|<nowiki>

===No citation template ===
If the citation is handwritten you should consider the citation format of the article. If citation templates are used often in this article, then check [[WP:Citation templates]] and try to find one that works for this source. If no template can be found, then this may be a source which can't be represented in our citation templates.
Use {{tl2|wikicite}} to make an anchor, setting Wikicite's {{para|ref}} to a [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]].
{{markup
|<nowiki>Article text.{{sfn |A particularly unusual citation}}
==Notes==
{{reflist}}
==References==
* {{wikicite

== Techniques and variations ==
=== Changing the appearance of the short citation ===
==== With a custom anchor ====
With a [[#custom anchors|custom anchor]], {{tl|sfn}} can have any appearance you want. Here are two examples that editors have asked about in the past.
* MLA style author-title short citations. Put name and title in {{para|1}}, don't set the year.
{{markup|<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">Article text.{{sfn|Ellison ''Ellison's Book''|p=13}}
{{reflist}}
* {{cite book
| last = Ellison | first = Larry
| title = Ellison's Book"
| year = 2011
| ref = {{sfnref|Ellison ''Ellison's Book''}}
}}
</syntaxhighlight>|
Article text.{{sfn|Ellison ''Ellison's Book''|p=13}}
{{reflist}}
* {{cite book
| last = Ellison | first = Larry
| title = Ellison's Book"
| year = 2011
| ref = {{sfnref|Ellison ''Ellison's Book''}}
}}
}}
* Adding the original date to a later edition of a book. Put the name, year and original date in {{para|1}}, don't set the year.
{{markup|<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">Article text.{{sfn|Voltaire 2030 [1752]|p=13}}
{{reflist}}
* {{cite book
| title = Le Micromégas
| author = [[Voltaire]]
| year = 2020
| orig-date = 1752
| ref = {{sfnref|Voltaire 2030 [1752]}}
}}
</syntaxhighlight>|

(See [[#url weirdness|below]] for a potential issue with this technique.)
===Citations inside explanatory footnotes===
Sometimes an explanatory footnote requires a citation. There are several acceptable solutions.
Citations using {{tl1|sfn}} can't be directly embedded between {{tag|ref}} tags, because the following message will be produced: {{small|{{error|Cite error references missing group||nocat=true}}}}. But {{tl1|sfn}} can be used with templates {{tl1|efn}} and {{tl1|notelist}}, which separates the explanatory footnotes from the short citations, as shown in this example. (See also [[Chinese Room]], which is an article that makes extensive use of this technique.)

===Multiple lists of inline citations===
Sometimes there is a need to create two or more separate lists of inline footnotes. For example some family trees are contained in templates, they are transluded into several biographies, and they have their own self contained citations (see [[Template:Houston family tree]] and the article [[Margaret Lea Houston]]).
To facilitate this, while the main page uses the standard 1,2,3 footnote counting, it is common for family trees to use the efn template with a group parameter set—for example {{tlx|efn-lg}} (lower-greek). The efn templates are text templates, to link some or all of the content of the efn template to a long citation template such as {{tlx|cite book}} place {{tlx|harvnb}} or {{tlx|harv}} within the efn template.

{{anchor|Ps problems}}
== Open problems ==
=== Discouraged parameters ===
These parameters were designed to handle special cases that are better handled by other techniques.
====Parameter {{para|ps}}====
These templates have a parameter {{para|ps}}, designed to hold quotes and explanations.
Two or more {{tlc|sfn}} templates with the same authors, same year, and same page, but different {{para|ps}} will result in a {{small|{{error|Cite error: The named reference ... was defined multiple times with different content}}}} message. This message happens because the reference names that {{tlc|sfn}} creates will be the same, but the content between the {{tag|ref|params=name="FOOTNOTE..."|o}} tag and the {{tag|ref|c}} tag will be different.
A workaround is to convert the offending {{tlc|sfn}} templates to {{tlx|harvnb}} wrapped in {{tag|ref}} tags, as recommended in [[#Additional comments or quotes|§ Adding additional comments or quotes]]. This method is more versatile and robust.
Template {{para|ps}} also has a second (rare) use, when setting {{para|ps|none}}, which suppressed the final period. See [[#Variations in the format of the author-date citation|§ Variations in the format of the author-date citation]].
====Parameter {{para|ref}}====
The optional parameter {{para|ref}} was used to create an unusually named link from the short citation to the full citation. This typically would require setting the hand coded link on the full citation as well. It's easier to only set the link of the full citation to {{para|ref|{{tl2|sfnref}}}}.
If you specify {{para|ref|none}}, no hyperlink is created. However, if one does not want the link, it is always possible to simply use plain text instead of the template.
The parameter only appears in <nowiki>{{harv*}}</nowiki> templates, and may still appear in a few articles.
===Link works but displays a no target error===
When a short-cite template links to a full citation that is rendered by a template that wraps a CS1 template, like {{txl|cite DNB}} (which wraps {{txl|cite encyclopedia}}), a {{error-small|no target}} error may be displayed even when the short-cite template is valid and the link works. That is a "false positive" error. The error message can be suppressed by adding {{para|ignore-err|yes}} to the template, or by adding the template {{t|Sfn whitelist}} with the anchor ID(s) to the article. If you are testing changes in [[Special:ExpandTemplates]] and the error message cannot be suppressed, try testing in a sandbox or user subpage instead.
==={{ucfirst:sfn}} embedded in list-defined ref does not work===
If you [[Help:Footnotes#embedding references|embed]] an {{ucfirst:sfn}} 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}}.
==Implementation notes==
These templates use two elements: a [[wikilink]] in the body of the article, and an [[WP:ANCHOR DEF|anchor]] in the reference section of the article. Clicking on the wikilink repositions the page at the anchor.
===Citation template [[HTML element#Links and anchors|anchor]]===
{{See also|Wikipedia:Citation templates and reference anchors}}
The most common citation templates are {{cs1}} or {{cs2}}. By default, [[Module:Citation/CS1]] creates an [[HTML element#Links and anchors|anchor]] {{tag|a|o|params=name="CITEREF"}} followed by the concatenation of the following parameters:
* '''last''' or '''last1''' or '''surname''' or '''surname1''' or '''author-last''' or '''author-last1''' or '''author1-last''' or '''author-surname''' or '''author-surname1''' or '''author1-surname''' or '''author''' or '''author1''' or '''authors''',
* '''last2''' or '''surname2''' or '''author-last2''' or '''author2-last''' or '''author-surname2''' or '''author2-surname''' or '''author2''',
* '''last3''' or '''surname3''' or '''author-last3''' or '''author3-last''' or '''author-surname3''' or '''author3-surname''' or '''author3''',
* '''last4''' or '''surname4''' or '''author-last4''' or '''author4-last''' or '''author-surname4''' or '''author4-surname''' or '''author4''',
* '''editor-last''' or '''editor-last1''' or '''editor1-last''' or '''editor-surname''' or '''editor-surname1''' or '''editor1-surname''' or '''editor1''' or '''editor''',
* '''editor-last2''' or '''editor2-last''' or '''editor-surname2''' or '''editor2-surname''' or '''editor2''',
* '''editor-last3''' or '''editor3-last''' or '''editor-surname3''' or '''editor3-surname''' or '''editor3''',
* '''editor-last4''' or '''editor4-last''' or '''editor-surname4''' or '''editor4-surname''' or '''editor4''',
* '''date''', '''year'''
This covers the most common templates. Information about all of the templates is available at [[Wikipedia:Citation templates and reference anchors]].
Use of the '''date''' parameter in place of the '''year''' parameter in citation templates is preferred.
===Harvard citation wikilink===
The Harvard citation templates create a [[wikilink]] to the anchor. For example {{tlx|Harv|Smith|2006|4=p=25}} produces the link {{code|#CITEREFSmith2006}} and {{tlx|Citation|2=last=Smith|3=first=John|4=date=27 January 2006|5=title=My Life}} produces the anchor {{code|CITEREFSmith2006}}.
===Using CITEREF directly===
{{Shortcut|WP:CITEREF}}
A few articles create a custom ID using {{code|CITEREF}}, either in place of the Harvard citation template (e.g. <code><nowiki>[[#CITEREFSmith2006|(2006)]]</nowiki></code>) or as a value for {{para|ref}} in the citation template.
{{Refname rules|A custom ID must follow these rules:|
* If CITEREF is used, then spaces in the {{para|ref}} field must be replaced with underscores}}
Examples:
* {{tlx|sfn|{{var|cite name}}|{{var|year}}}}
* {{tlx|cite book|2=ref=CITEREF{{var|cite_nameyear}}}}
* {{tlx|cite book|2=ref={{tl|sfnref|{{var|cite_name}}|{{var|year}}}}}}
Where {{var|cite_name}} is a name such as the publisher.
To avoid the sometimes difficult to remember syntax for links to CITEREF anchors, {{tl|citeref}} can be used to create internal wikilinks with either small superscript-style labels (like this<sup>[n]</sup>) or plain free-text labels to such anchors. It can be used inside of other citations.
Note that the {{code|CITEREF}} prefix is necessary for the [[mw:Reference Tooltips|reference tooltips gadget]] ([[MediaWiki:Gadget-ReferenceTooltips.js]]) to detect that a link goes to a citation.
===[[Template:sfn|<code><nowiki>{{sfn}}</nowiki></code>]]'s [[WP:REFNAME|ref name]]===
Template {{tl2|sfn}} creates a [[WP:REFNAME|named footnote]], so that identical footnotes are combined automatically. The footnote name begins with {{code|FOOTNOTE}} followed by a concatenation of the arguments to {{tl2|sfn}}. E.g.: this template call:
* {{tlx|sfn|Smith|2006|4=p=26}}
should have exactly the same functionality as
* {{tag|ref|params=name="FOOTNOTESmith200626"|content={{tl2|Harvnb|Smith|2006|4=p=26}}.}}
which, in turn, has the same functionality as
* {{tag|ref|params=name="FOOTNOTESmith200626"|content=<nowiki>[[#CITEREFSmith2006|Smith (2006)]], p.&nbsp;26.</nowiki>}}.
{{anchor|url weirdness}}
The ref name becomes more complicated when the page (p) parameter includes a URL, e.g. {{tlg|sfn|Joyce|1903|p{{=}}[https://archive.org/details/aconcisehistory00joycgoog/page/n226 213]|code=on}}, which, once defined, can be called by {{tag|ref|empty|params=name="FOOTNOTEJoyce1903[httpsarchiveorgdetailsaconcisehistory00joycgoogpagen226 213]"}}. The "p=" and the characters |,:,.,/,?,=; are therefore stripped out of the URL. The content of the loc parameter is similarly appended after this.
The call to {{tl2|harvnb}} has been [[subst]]'ed for quicker load times.

{{Lua|Module:Footnotes|Module:Check for unknown parameters}}
The '''shortened footnote template''' {{tl|sfn}} creates a short [[WP:Citing sources#Short citations|author–date citation]] in a [[Wikipedia:Citing sources|footnote]], with a one-directional link to the first matching [[Wikipedia:Citation templates|citation template]] on the same page. It will combine identical footnotes automatically.
It is used to create {{sfnote|lc=y}}, a [[WP:CITESTYLE|citation style]] which pairs a short, author-date citation in a footnote with a [[WP:HOWCITE|complete citation]] in the references section at the end of the article (see example [[#Example|below]]). This citation style is used to simplify multiple citations to the same source and to reduce clutter in the edit window.
Common problems and known workarounds are given in the sections below. Use the table of contents to find what you need.
Note that the use (or even non-use) of these templates is an element of citation "style", and adding or removing them in articles with an established style should be consistent with that style. See [[WP:CITEVAR]].
==Usage==
'''Sfn''' generates an "author-date" style short-cite from the following parameters:
<div style="margin-left: 2em"><code>{{<nowiki>sfn</nowiki>| <{{var|last1}}*> | <{{var|last2}}> | <{{var|last3}}> | <{{var|last4}}> | <{{var|year}}*> | p= <{{var|page}}> | loc= <{{var|location}}> }}</code></div>
with
* <{{var|last1}}> – required; surname of first author or corporate author
* <{{var|last2}}>–<{{var|last4}}> – positional parameters; surnames of next three authors; required if available in the full citation
* <{{var|year}}> – required; four-digit year; may have a lowercase disambiguation letter, like {{pval|2012a}}
* {{para|p}} – specific page referenced in the source (alias: {{para|page}}{{hairspace}})
* {{para|pp}} – comma-separated list of [[Template:Csdoc#pages|individual pages and / or range(s) of pages]] referenced in the source (alias: {{para|pages}}{{hairspace}})
* {{para|loc}} – in-source location when {{para|p}} and {{para|pp}} are inappropriate; may be used to supplement {{para|p}} and {{para|pp}}; information such as a section or figure number. (alias: {{para|at}}{{hairspace}})
=== Example ===
Typical usage is shown in the example below. The text and the footnote are connected by a bi-directional link – clicking on the superscript takes the reader to the footnote, clicking on the footnote number takes them back to the superscript. The clicking on the short citation takes them to the full citation in the references section.
'''Sfn''' will also automatically combine identical footnotes.

Template '''sfn''' is not placed inside {{tag|ref}} tags and generates the footnote internally. (To place '''sfn''' in a footnote, see [[#A citation inside an explanatory footnote|putting a citation inside a footnote]], below.)
===Parameters===
====Author(s) and year====
The first four author surnames (or all authors if fewer than four; use the values from {{para|last''N''}} or {{para|author''N''}}{{hairspace}}) are required, followed by the year of publication (from {{para|year}} or {{para|date}}). Authors past the fourth must be omitted or an error will result.
The [[#Possible issues with author-date link|possible issues]] section below describes workarounds for various common problems, such as [[#Large number of authors|large number of authors]], [[#No author name in citation template|no author name]], [[#More than one work in a year|multiple works in the same year]], [[#Two sources with same last names and years|Two sources with same last names and years]] and others.

==Possible issues with author-date link==
{{for|information on how to turn on error messages for broken links|:Category:Harv and Sfn template errors}}
These are techniques that address various unusual difficulties with the link between the short citation and the full citation.
Templates that have broken [[wikilink]]s using these templates are added to the category {{cat|All articles with broken links to citations}}.
===Wikilink to citation does not work===
If an article is using this template and nothing happens when you click on the highlighted [[wikilink]] from the [[WP:SHORTCITE|short citation]] to the [[WP:SHORTCITE|full citation]] at the bottom of the page, there are several possible solutions. If:
# Templates like this one are rarely used in this article. '''Solution''': Remove this template and format the citation in the style used most often in the article.
# The correct full citation does ''not'' appear at the bottom of the article. '''Solution''': Find the source (it may be copied from an article on a similar subject), and check that it verifies the text. If the source can't be found, replace this template with {{tl2|citation not found}}.
# The correct full citation appears at the bottom of the article, and
## The full citation uses a template from the list at [[Help:Citation Style 1|Citation Style 1]]:
### The citation template has only {{para|author}} and this template uses the last name. '''Solution''': Either (a) split the author name in to {{para|last}} and {{para|first}} in the full citation or (b) use the full name in the short citation. Be careful in either case to be consistent with the other citations in the article.
### The name in the short citation is spelled or capitalized differently than in the full citation. '''Solution''': Check the source for the correct spelling, and use the same spelling, spacing, and capitalization in both the short and full citations.
### There is more than one full citation with the same last name and year. '''Solution''': See [[#More than one work in a year|§More than one work in a year]] or [[#Two sources with same last names and years|§Two sources with same last names and years]].
### The year is different here than the full citation. '''Solution''': Check the source for the correct year, and use the same year in both the short and full citations.
### The template has a {{para|date}} field and no {{para|year}} field, but the format of the {{para|date}} field is unusual. '''Solution''': Try to fix the date. If the link still does not work, add {{para|year}} to the citation template. (It's okay if it has both.)
### The template does not have a year, or the date is set to "n.d." (no date). '''Solution''': Set the year field of this template to "n.d.".
### The template does not have an author's or an editor's, last name (authors take precedence over editors). '''Solution''': See [[#Citation template has no author name|§Citation template has no author name]], below.
### The template has no author, date or title. '''Solution''': See [[#Citation template has no author, date or title|§Citation template has no author, date or title]]
##Find the citation template in [[Wikipedia:Citation templates and reference anchors#Citation templates that create anchors|WP:Citation templates and anchors]] and find out if it has support for an anchor.
### The citation template doesn't automatically create the anchor, but has {{para|ref}}. '''Solution''': See [[#Citation template doesn't create a compatible anchor but has %7Cref=|§Citation template doesn't create a compatible anchor but has {{para|ref}}]], below.
### The citation template doesn't support anchors at all. '''Solution''': See [[#Citation template does not support any kind of anchor|§Citation format does not support any kind of anchor]], below.
##The full citation is handwritten.
### There are no other citation templates in the article. This is probably because local editors prefer it that way. '''Solution''': You should adapt to the style of the article. This would probably entail removing this template and formatting the short citation in plain text or replacing it with a full citation in {{tag|ref}} tags.
### There are citation templates used liberally throughout the article. '''Solution''': Reformat the source with the appropriate {{cite *}} template (and set the {{para|ref}} appropriately, if necessary).
### No appropriate template can be found. '''Solution''': See [[#No citation template|§No citation template]], below.
===Custom anchors===
A custom anchor using {{tl|sfnref}} can, at least temporarily, always make the shortened footnote look exactly the way you would like and still have a link that works. Many of the problems and workarounds below require a custom anchor.
All CS1 citation templates and several other templates allow you to set a custom anchor with parameter {{para|ref}}. The template {{tl|sfnRef}} creates an anchor that will match {{tl|sfn}}'s if it has the same parameters as {{tl|sfn}}. To use this technique, choose the name and year you would like to appear in {{tl|sfn}}, copy these parameters into {{tl|sfnRef}} and set {{tl|ref}} to the {{tl|sfnRef}}.
In other words, if you want this:
* {{tl2|sfn|<*''name you want''>|<''year''>|<''page / location''>}}
then set this:
* {{para|ref|{{tl2|sfnRef|<''name you want''>|<''year''>}}}}
in the template, and the link should work correctly.
The parameters must be <em>identical</em> in every respect. If the year is unusual (i.e. not a number), then include the year in the name and don't use the year position.
===Large number of authors===
If there are more than four authors, the first four authors' surnames (the value in {{para|last}} or {{para|author}}) are required by the template. Listing more authors is not supported. It is also possible to use a [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]] that sets the name field to "Smith et. al.".

===More than one work in a year===
Where there is a need to cite more than one work ''by the same author published in the same year'', the standard way to disambiguate such works is to add a letter suffix after the year, e.g. "Smith 2006a" and "Smith 2006b".
Set the year element of the {{tlc|sfn}} templates (e.g. {{tlc|sfn|Smith|2006a}} and {{tlc|sfn|Smith|2006a}}), and add the disambiguation letter to the matching full citation, (e.g. <code><nowiki>{{cite book|...|last=Smith|date=2006b}}</nowiki></code>).
When {{tlc|sfn}} is used with {{tlx|citation}} or {{cs1}} templates, a year-suffix letter may be added to {{para|date}} for all accepted date formats except year-initial numeric ({{small|YYYY-MM-DD}}). It is not necessary to include both {{para|date}} and {{para|year}} (see exception [[#NB_YEAR|below]]). If both are included, {{para|year}} is used for the <code>CITEREF</code> anchor to be compliant with legacy citations.
:{{para|date|2013a}}: simple year only dates
:{{para|date|Jan 2013b}} or {{para|date|Winter 2013b}}: month or season and year dates
:{{para|date|9 November 2013b}} or {{para|date|November 9, 2013b}}: full dates
:{{para|date|June–July 2013c}} or {{para|date|Winter–Spring 2013c}}: month or season ranges and year dates
:{{para|date|c. 2013d}}: circa year dates
:{{para|date|{{#time:Y}}–{{#time:Y|now +1 year}}e}} or {{para|date|Summer {{#time:Y}}–{{#time:y|now +1 year}}e}}: year ranges
:{{para|date|n.d.f}}: no date (n.d.)
:{{anchor|NB_YEAR}}<s>{{para|date|2013g-11-09}}</s>: not supported, the template must use {{para|year|2013g}}. If month and day should be part of the citation as well, both parameters need to be given: {{para|date|2013-11-09}} {{para|year|2013x}}. In this case, {{para|date}} is used for citation display and metadata purposes, and {{para|year}} for link disambiguation.

===Two sources with same last names and years ===
An article might cite works from the same year by two different authors with the same last name. For example, an article might cite psychoanalysts [[Anna Freud]] and [[Sigmund Freud]], who both wrote books in the same year.
There are two solutions: it's possible to use the same technique described in the previous section. To differentiate between the two books, the first one can be given the year "1928a" and the second one "1928b".
Or, you can create a [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]] that adds an initial to the name fields, e.g. "A. Freud" and "S. Freud". The links will no longer conflict.

===Citation template has no year but has a date===
Either the {{para|date}} or {{para|year}} of a citation template can be matched—the template logic can extract the year from a full date. If the date parameter is not a full date, then the extraction will fail. If the link does not seem to work, it also possible to set both {{para|date}} and {{para|year}} parameters. The template will display the date and use the year for the anchor. These two examples show a year being successfully extracted from full date.

===Citation template has no date===
If the cited source does not have a date, you can use {{para|date|n.d.}} for the full citation and "n.d." in place of the date for the short citation:
{{markup
|<nowiki>This is a fact.{{sfn|Smith|n.d.}}
==Notes==
{{reflist}}
==References==
* {{Citation |last=Smith |title=Title |date=n.d. |publisher=Publisher |mode=cs1}}</nowiki>

{{reflist}}
{{fake heading|sub=3|References}}
* {{Citation |last=Smith |title=Title |date=n.d. |publisher=Publisher |mode=cs1}}
}}
===Citation template has no author name===
Some sources do not have a single author with a last name, such as a magazine article or a report from a government institution. There is no consensus (in Wikipedia or among citation styles) about how to format author–date citations for works that do not have a specific author. Several choices are:
# The title of the article, or a shortened form of the title, is recommended by some style guides.
# For a newspaper or periodical, you may use the name of the paper and the date.
# For a publication by an institution, use either:
## The initials of the institution
## The name of the institution
# Other style guides recommend using "Anonymous" or "Anon."
An article should adopt one of these styles consistently.
Use a [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]] to replace set the author name to one of these other choices, as shown in these examples below.

=== Citation template has no author, date or title ===
If the cited source does not have a date, author, or title, place a description of the source within brackets for the {{para|title}} parameter, use {{para|date|n.d.}} and create [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]] with the description in the name position and "n.d." in the year.
{{markup

===Citation template doesn't create a compatible anchor but has {{para|ref}} ===
{{See section|Wikipedia:Citation templates and reference anchors|Citation templates that create anchors}}
Some templates, such as {{tl|cite comic}}, {{tl|cite thesis}} and {{tl|cite map}} use the parameter {{para|ref}} to create an anchor for the short citation. This can be used to set a [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]] for {{tl|sfn}}
{{markup
|<nowiki>Article text.{{sfn|Morrison|1987}}
==Notes==
{{reflist}}
==References==
* {{cite comic

You could also use CITEREF directly with a concatenation of <code>#CITEREF</code> plus the parameters passed to the Harvard citation template.
===Citation template does not support any kind of anchor===
{{See section|Wikipedia:Citation templates and reference anchors|Citation templates that create anchors}}
There are a few templates that do not support any kind of anchor, including {{tl|cite report}}, {{tl|cite music release notes}}, {{tl|cite DVD-notes}}, {{tl|cite episode}} and others.
It is possible to use {{tl|wikicite}} to create an anchor. It has a {{para|ref}} parameter which can be set to a [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]]. In this example, the publisher is considered the editor.
{{markup
|<nowiki>

===No citation template ===
If the citation is handwritten you should consider the citation format of the article. If citation templates are used often in this article, then check [[WP:Citation templates]] and try to find one that works for this source. If no template can be found, then this may be a source which can't be represented in our citation templates.
Use {{tl2|wikicite}} to make an anchor, setting Wikicite's {{para|ref}} to a [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]].
{{markup
|<nowiki>Article text.{{sfn |A particularly unusual citation}}
==Notes==
{{reflist}}
==References==
* {{wikicite

== Techniques and variations ==
=== Changing the appearance of the short citation ===
==== With a custom anchor ====
With a [[#custom anchors|custom anchor]], {{tl|sfn}} can have any appearance you want. Here are two examples that editors have asked about in the past.
* MLA style author-title short citations. Put name and title in {{para|1}}, don't set the year.
{{markup|<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">Article text.{{sfn|Ellison ''Ellison's Book''|p=13}}
{{reflist}}
* {{cite book
| last = Ellison | first = Larry
| title = Ellison's Book"
| year = 2011
| ref = {{sfnref|Ellison ''Ellison's Book''}}
}}
</syntaxhighlight>|
Article text.{{sfn|Ellison ''Ellison's Book''|p=13}}
{{reflist}}
* {{cite book
| last = Ellison | first = Larry
| title = Ellison's Book"
| year = 2011
| ref = {{sfnref|Ellison ''Ellison's Book''}}
}}
}}
* Adding the original date to a later edition of a book. Put the name, year and original date in {{para|1}}, don't set the year.
{{markup|<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">Article text.{{sfn|Voltaire 2030 [1752]|p=13}}
{{reflist}}
* {{cite book
| title = Le Micromégas

| orig-date = 1752
| ref = {{sfnref|Voltaire 2030 [1752]}}
}}

(See [[#url weirdness|below]] for a potential issue with this technique.)
===Citations inside explanatory footnotes===
Sometimes an explanatory footnote requires a citation. There are several acceptable solutions.
Citations using {{tl1|sfn}} can't be directly embedded between {{tag|ref}} tags, because the following message will be produced: {{small|{{error|Cite error references missing group||nocat=true}}}}. But {{tl1|sfn}} can be used with templates {{tl1|efn}} and {{tl1|notelist}}, which separates the explanatory footnotes from the short citations, as shown in this example. (See also [[Chinese Room]], which is an article that makes extensive use of this technique.)

===Multiple lists of inline citations===
Sometimes there is a need to create two or more separate lists of inline footnotes. For example some family trees are contained in templates, they are transluded into several biographies, and they have their own self contained citations (see [[Template:Houston family tree]] and the article [[Margaret Lea Houston]]).
To facilitate this, while the main page uses the standard 1,2,3 footnote counting, it is common for family trees to use the efn template with a group parameter set—for example {{tlx|efn-lg}} (lower-greek). The efn templates are text templates, to link some or all of the content of the efn template to a long citation template such as {{tlx|cite book}} place {{tlx|harvnb}} or {{tlx|harv}} within the efn template.

{{anchor|Ps problems}}
== Open problems ==
=== Discouraged parameters ===
These parameters were designed to handle special cases that are better handled by other techniques.
====Parameter {{para|ps}}====
These templates have a parameter {{para|ps}}, designed to hold quotes and explanations.
Two or more {{tlc|sfn}} templates with the same authors, same year, and same page, but different {{para|ps}} will result in a {{small|{{error|Cite error: The named reference ... was defined multiple times with different content}}}} message. This message happens because the reference names that {{tlc|sfn}} creates will be the same, but the content between the {{tag|ref|params=name="FOOTNOTE..."|o}} tag and the {{tag|ref|c}} tag will be different.
A workaround is to convert the offending {{tlc|sfn}} templates to {{tlx|harvnb}} wrapped in {{tag|ref}} tags, as recommended in [[#Additional comments or quotes|§ Adding additional comments or quotes]]. This method is more versatile and robust.
Template {{para|ps}} also has a second (rare) use, when setting {{para|ps|none}}, which suppressed the final period. See [[#Variations in the format of the author-date citation|§ Variations in the format of the author-date citation]].
====Parameter {{para|ref}}====
The optional parameter {{para|ref}} was used to create an unusually named link from the short citation to the full citation. This typically would require setting the hand coded link on the full citation as well. It's easier to only set the link of the full citation to {{para|ref|{{tl2|sfnref}}}}.
If you specify {{para|ref|none}}, no hyperlink is created. However, if one does not want the link, it is always possible to simply use plain text instead of the template.
The parameter only appears in <nowiki>{{harv*}}</nowiki> templates, and may still appear in a few articles.
===Link works but displays a no target error===
When a short-cite template links to a full citation that is rendered by a template that wraps a CS1 template, like {{txl|cite DNB}} (which wraps {{txl|cite encyclopedia}}), a {{error-small|no target}} error may be displayed even when the short-cite template is valid and the link works. That is a "false positive" error. The error message can be suppressed by adding {{para|ignore-err|yes}} to the template, or by adding the template {{t|Sfn whitelist}} with the anchor ID(s) to the article. If you are testing changes in [[Special:ExpandTemplates]] and the error message cannot be suppressed, try testing in a sandbox or user subpage instead.
==={{ucfirst:sfn}} embedded in list-defined ref does not work===
If you [[Help:Footnotes#embedding references|embed]] an {{ucfirst:sfn}} 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}}.
==Implementation notes==
These templates use two elements: a [[wikilink]] in the body of the article, and an [[WP:ANCHOR DEF|anchor]] in the reference section of the article. Clicking on the wikilink repositions the page at the anchor.
===Citation template [[HTML element#Links and anchors|anchor]]===
{{See also|Wikipedia:Citation templates and reference anchors}}
The most common citation templates are {{cs1}} or {{cs2}}. By default, [[Module:Citation/CS1]] creates an [[HTML element#Links and anchors|anchor]] {{tag|a|o|params=name="CITEREF"}} followed by the concatenation of the following parameters:
* '''last''' or '''last1''' or '''surname''' or '''surname1''' or '''author-last''' or '''author-last1''' or '''author1-last''' or '''author-surname''' or '''author-surname1''' or '''author1-surname''' or '''author''' or '''author1''' or '''authors''',
* '''last2''' or '''surname2''' or '''author-last2''' or '''author2-last''' or '''author-surname2''' or '''author2-surname''' or '''author2''',
* '''last3''' or '''surname3''' or '''author-last3''' or '''author3-last''' or '''author-surname3''' or '''author3-surname''' or '''author3''',
* '''last4''' or '''surname4''' or '''author-last4''' or '''author4-last''' or '''author-surname4''' or '''author4-surname''' or '''author4''',
* '''editor-last''' or '''editor-last1''' or '''editor1-last''' or '''editor-surname''' or '''editor-surname1''' or '''editor1-surname''' or '''editor1''' or '''editor''',
* '''editor-last2''' or '''editor2-last''' or '''editor-surname2''' or '''editor2-surname''' or '''editor2''',
* '''editor-last3''' or '''editor3-last''' or '''editor-surname3''' or '''editor3-surname''' or '''editor3''',
* '''editor-last4''' or '''editor4-last''' or '''editor-surname4''' or '''editor4-surname''' or '''editor4''',
* '''date''', '''year'''
This covers the most common templates. Information about all of the templates is available at [[Wikipedia:Citation templates and reference anchors]].
Use of the '''date''' parameter in place of the '''year''' parameter in citation templates is preferred.
===Harvard citation wikilink===
The Harvard citation templates create a [[wikilink]] to the anchor. For example {{tlx|Harv|Smith|2006|4=p=25}} produces the link {{code|#CITEREFSmith2006}} and {{tlx|Citation|2=last=Smith|3=first=John|4=date=27 January 2006|5=title=My Life}} produces the anchor {{code|CITEREFSmith2006}}.
===Using CITEREF directly===
{{Shortcut|WP:CITEREF}}
A few articles create a custom ID using {{code|CITEREF}}, either in place of the Harvard citation template (e.g. <code><nowiki>[[#CITEREFSmith2006|(2006)]]</nowiki></code>) or as a value for {{para|ref}} in the citation template.
{{Refname rules|A custom ID must follow these rules:|
* If CITEREF is used, then spaces in the {{para|ref}} field must be replaced with underscores}}
Examples:
* {{tlx|sfn|{{var|cite name}}|{{var|year}}}}
* {{tlx|cite book|2=ref=CITEREF{{var|cite_nameyear}}}}
* {{tlx|cite book|2=ref={{tl|sfnref|{{var|cite_name}}|{{var|year}}}}}}
Where {{var|cite_name}} is a name such as the publisher.
To avoid the sometimes difficult to remember syntax for links to CITEREF anchors, {{tl|citeref}} can be used to create internal wikilinks with either small superscript-style labels (like this<sup>[n]</sup>) or plain free-text labels to such anchors. It can be used inside of other citations.
Note that the {{code|CITEREF}} prefix is necessary for the [[mw:Reference Tooltips|reference tooltips gadget]] ([[MediaWiki:Gadget-ReferenceTooltips.js]]) to detect that a link goes to a citation.
===[[Template:sfn|<code><nowiki>{{sfn}}</nowiki></code>]]'s [[WP:REFNAME|ref name]]===
Template {{tl2|sfn}} creates a [[WP:REFNAME|named footnote]], so that identical footnotes are combined automatically. The footnote name begins with {{code|FOOTNOTE}} followed by a concatenation of the arguments to {{tl2|sfn}}. E.g.: this template call:
* {{tlx|sfn|Smith|2006|4=p=26}}
should have exactly the same functionality as
* {{tag|ref|params=name="FOOTNOTESmith200626"|content={{tl2|Harvnb|Smith|2006|4=p=26}}.}}
which, in turn, has the same functionality as
* {{tag|ref|params=name="FOOTNOTESmith200626"|content=<nowiki>[[#CITEREFSmith2006|Smith (2006)]], p.&nbsp;26.</nowiki>}}.
{{anchor|url weirdness}}
The ref name becomes more complicated when the page (p) parameter includes a URL, e.g. {{tlg|sfn|Joyce|1903|p{{=}}[https://archive.org/details/aconcisehistory00joycgoog/page/n226 213]|code=on}}, which, once defined, can be called by {{tag|ref|empty|params=name="FOOTNOTEJoyce1903[httpsarchiveorgdetailsaconcisehistory00joycgoogpagen226 213]"}}. The "p=" and the characters |,:,.,/,?,=; are therefore stripped out of the URL. The content of the loc parameter is similarly appended after this.
The call to {{tl2|harvnb}} has been [[subst]]'ed for quicker load times.

{{Lua|Module:Footnotes|Module:Check for unknown parameters}}
The '''shortened footnote template''' {{tl|sfn}} creates a short [[WP:Citing sources#Short citations|author–date citation]] in a [[Wikipedia:Citing sources|footnote]], with a one-directional link to the first matching [[Wikipedia:Citation templates|citation template]] on the same page. It will combine identical footnotes automatically.
It is used to create {{sfnote|lc=y}}, a [[WP:CITESTYLE|citation style]] which pairs a short, author-date citation in a footnote with a [[WP:HOWCITE|complete citation]] in the references section at the end of the article (see example [[#Example|below]]). This citation style is used to simplify multiple citations to the same source and to reduce clutter in the edit window.
Common problems and known workarounds are given in the sections below. Use the table of contents to find what you need.
Note that the use (or even non-use) of these templates is an element of citation "style", and adding or removing them in articles with an established style should be consistent with that style. See [[WP:CITEVAR]].
==Usage==
'''Sfn''' generates an "author-date" style short-cite from the following parameters:
<div style="margin-left: 2em"><code>{{<nowiki>sfn</nowiki>| <{{var|last1}}*> | <{{var|last2}}> | <{{var|last3}}> | <{{var|last4}}> | <{{var|year}}*> | p= <{{var|page}}> | loc= <{{var|location}}> }}</code></div>
with
* <{{var|last1}}> – required; surname of first author or corporate author
* <{{var|last2}}>–<{{var|last4}}> – positional parameters; surnames of next three authors; required if available in the full citation
* <{{var|year}}> – required; four-digit year; may have a lowercase disambiguation letter, like {{pval|2012a}}
* {{para|p}} – specific page referenced in the source (alias: {{para|page}}{{hairspace}})
* {{para|pp}} – comma-separated list of [[Template:Csdoc#pages|individual pages and / or range(s) of pages]] referenced in the source (alias: {{para|pages}}{{hairspace}})
* {{para|loc}} – in-source location when {{para|p}} and {{para|pp}} are inappropriate; may be used to supplement {{para|p}} and {{para|pp}}; information such as a section or figure number. (alias: {{para|at}}{{hairspace}})
=== Example ===
Typical usage is shown in the example below. The text and the footnote are connected by a bi-directional link – clicking on the superscript takes the reader to the footnote, clicking on the footnote number takes them back to the superscript. The clicking on the short citation takes them to the full citation in the references section.
'''Sfn''' will also automatically combine identical footnotes.

Template '''sfn''' is not placed inside {{tag|ref}} tags and generates the footnote internally. (To place '''sfn''' in a footnote, see [[#A citation inside an explanatory footnote|putting a citation inside a footnote]], below.)
===Parameters===
====Author(s) and year====
The first four author surnames (or all authors if fewer than four; use the values from {{para|last''N''}} or {{para|author''N''}}{{hairspace}}) are required, followed by the year of publication (from {{para|year}} or {{para|date}}). Authors past the fourth must be omitted or an error will result.
The [[#Possible issues with author-date link|possible issues]] section below describes workarounds for various common problems, such as [[#Large number of authors|large number of authors]], [[#No author name in citation template|no author name]], [[#More than one work in a year|multiple works in the same year]], [[#Two sources with same last names and years|Two sources with same last names and years]] and others.

# Templates like this one are rarely used in this article. '''Solution''': Remove this template and format the citation in the style used most often in the article.
# The correct full citation does ''not'' appear at the bottom of the article. '''Solution''': Find the source (it may be copied from an article on a similar subject), and check that it verifies the text. If the source can't be found, replace this template with {{tl2|citation not found}}.
# The correct full citation appears at the bottom of the article, and
## The full citation uses a template from the list at [[Help:Citation Style 1|Citation Style 1]]:
### The citation template has only {{para|author}} and this template uses the last name. '''Solution''': Either (a) split the author name in to {{para|last}} and {{para|first}} in the full citation or (b) use the full name in the short citation. Be careful in either case to be consistent with the other citations in the article.
### The name in the short citation is spelled or capitalized differently than in the full citation. '''Solution''': Check the source for the correct spelling, and use the same spelling, spacing, and capitalization in both the short and full citations.
### There is more than one full citation with the same last name and year. '''Solution''': See [[#More than one work in a year|§More than one work in a year]] or [[#Two sources with same last names and years|§Two sources with same last names and years]].
### The year is different here than the full citation. '''Solution''': Check the source for the correct year, and use the same year in both the short and full citations.
### The template has a {{para|date}} field and no {{para|year}} field, but the format of the {{para|date}} field is unusual. '''Solution''': Try to fix the date. If the link still does not work, add {{para|year}} to the citation template. (It's okay if it has both.)
### The template does not have a year, or the date is set to "n.d." (no date). '''Solution''': Set the year field of this template to "n.d.".
### The template does not have an author's or an editor's, last name (authors take precedence over editors). '''Solution''': See [[#Citation template has no author name|§Citation template has no author name]], below.
### The template has no author, date or title. '''Solution''': See [[#Citation template has no author, date or title|§Citation template has no author, date or title]]
##Find the citation template in [[Wikipedia:Citation templates and reference anchors#Citation templates that create anchors|WP:Citation templates and anchors]] and find out if it has support for an anchor.
### The citation template doesn't automatically create the anchor, but has {{para|ref}}. '''Solution''': See [[#Citation template doesn't create a compatible anchor but has %7Cref=|§Citation template doesn't create a compatible anchor but has {{para|ref}}]], below.
### The citation template doesn't support anchors at all. '''Solution''': See [[#Citation template does not support any kind of anchor|§Citation format does not support any kind of anchor]], below.
##The full citation is handwritten.
### There are no other citation templates in the article. This is probably because local editors prefer it that way. '''Solution''': You should adapt to the style of the article. This would probably entail removing this template and formatting the short citation in plain text or replacing it with a full citation in {{tag|ref}} tags.
### There are citation templates used liberally throughout the article. '''Solution''': Reformat the source with the appropriate {{cite *}} template (and set the {{para|ref}} appropriately, if necessary).
### No appropriate template can be found. '''Solution''': See [[#No citation template|§No citation template]], below.
===Custom anchors===
A custom anchor using {{tl|sfnref}} can, at least temporarily, always make the shortened footnote look exactly the way you would like and still have a link that works. Many of the problems and workarounds below require a custom anchor.
All CS1 citation templates and several other templates allow you to set a custom anchor with parameter {{para|ref}}. The template {{tl|sfnRef}} creates an anchor that will match {{tl|sfn}}'s if it has the same parameters as {{tl|sfn}}. To use this technique, choose the name and year you would like to appear in {{tl|sfn}}, copy these parameters into {{tl|sfnRef}} and set {{tl|ref}} to the {{tl|sfnRef}}.
In other words, if you want this:
* {{tl2|sfn|<*''name you want''>|<''year''>|<''page / location''>}}
then set this:
* {{para|ref|{{tl2|sfnRef|<''name you want''>|<''year''>}}}}
in the template, and the link should work correctly.
The parameters must be <em>identical</em> in every respect. If the year is unusual (i.e. not a number), then include the year in the name and don't use the year position.
===Large number of authors===
If there are more than four authors, the first four authors' surnames (the value in {{para|last}} or {{para|author}}) are required by the template. Listing more authors is not supported. It is also possible to use a [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]] that sets the name field to "Smith et. al.".

===More than one work in a year===
Where there is a need to cite more than one work ''by the same author published in the same year'', the standard way to disambiguate such works is to add a letter suffix after the year, e.g. "Smith 2006a" and "Smith 2006b".
Set the year element of the {{tlc|sfn}} templates (e.g. {{tlc|sfn|Smith|2006a}} and {{tlc|sfn|Smith|2006a}}), and add the disambiguation letter to the matching full citation, (e.g. <code><nowiki>{{cite book|...|last=Smith|date=2006b}}</nowiki></code>).
When {{tlc|sfn}} is used with {{tlx|citation}} or {{cs1}} templates, a year-suffix letter may be added to {{para|date}} for all accepted date formats except year-initial numeric ({{small|YYYY-MM-DD}}). It is not necessary to include both {{para|date}} and {{para|year}} (see exception [[#NB_YEAR|below]]). If both are included, {{para|year}} is used for the <code>CITEREF</code> anchor to be compliant with legacy citations.
:{{para|date|2013a}}: simple year only dates
:{{para|date|Jan 2013b}} or {{para|date|Winter 2013b}}: month or season and year dates
:{{para|date|9 November 2013b}} or {{para|date|November 9, 2013b}}: full dates
:{{para|date|June–July 2013c}} or {{para|date|Winter–Spring 2013c}}: month or season ranges and year dates
:{{para|date|c. 2013d}}: circa year dates
:{{para|date|{{#time:Y}}–{{#time:Y|now +1 year}}e}} or {{para|date|Summer {{#time:Y}}–{{#time:y|now +1 year}}e}}: year ranges
:{{para|date|n.d.f}}: no date (n.d.)
:{{anchor|NB_YEAR}}<s>{{para|date|2013g-11-09}}</s>: not supported, the template must use {{para|year|2013g}}. If month and day should be part of the citation as well, both parameters need to be given: {{para|date|2013-11-09}} {{para|year|2013x}}. In this case, {{para|date}} is used for citation display and metadata purposes, and {{para|year}} for link disambiguation.

===Two sources with same last names and years ===
An article might cite works from the same year by two different authors with the same last name. For example, an article might cite psychoanalysts [[Anna Freud]] and [[Sigmund Freud]], who both wrote books in the same year.
There are two solutions: it's possible to use the same technique described in the previous section. To differentiate between the two books, the first one can be given the year "1928a" and the second one "1928b".
Or, you can create a [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]] that adds an initial to the name fields, e.g. "A. Freud" and "S. Freud". The links will no longer conflict.

===Citation template has no year but has a date===
Either the {{para|date}} or {{para|year}} of a citation template can be matched—the template logic can extract the year from a full date. If the date parameter is not a full date, then the extraction will fail. If the link does not seem to work, it also possible to set both {{para|date}} and {{para|year}} parameters. The template will display the date and use the year for the anchor. These two examples show a year being successfully extracted from full date.

===Citation template has no date===
If the cited source does not have a date, you can use {{para|date|n.d.}} for the full citation and "n.d." in place of the date for the short citation:
{{markup
|<nowiki>This is a fact.{{sfn|Smith|n.d.}}
==Notes==
{{reflist}}
==References==
* {{Citation |last=Smith |title=Title |date=n.d. |publisher=Publisher |mode=cs1}}</nowiki>

{{reflist}}
{{fake heading|sub=3|References}}
* {{Citation |last=Smith |title=Title |date=n.d. |publisher=Publisher |mode=cs1}}
}}
===Citation template has no author name===
Some sources do not have a single author with a last name, such as a magazine article or a report from a government institution. There is no consensus (in Wikipedia or among citation styles) about how to format author–date citations for works that do not have a specific author. Several choices are:
# The title of the article, or a shortened form of the title, is recommended by some style guides.
# For a newspaper or periodical, you may use the name of the paper and the date.
# For a publication by an institution, use either:
## The initials of the institution
## The name of the institution
# Other style guides recommend using "Anonymous" or "Anon."
An article should adopt one of these styles consistently.
Use a [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]] to replace set the author name to one of these other choices, as shown in these examples below.

=== Citation template has no author, date or title ===
If the cited source does not have a date, author, or title, place a description of the source within brackets for the {{para|title}} parameter, use {{para|date|n.d.}} and create [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]] with the description in the name position and "n.d." in the year.

{{See section|Wikipedia:Citation templates and reference anchors|Citation templates that create anchors}}
Some templates, such as {{tl|cite comic}}, {{tl|cite thesis}} and {{tl|cite map}} use the parameter {{para|ref}} to create an anchor for the short citation. This can be used to set a [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]] for {{tl|sfn}}
{{markup

{{reflist}}
==References==

You could also use CITEREF directly with a concatenation of <code>#CITEREF</code> plus the parameters passed to the Harvard citation template.
===Citation template does not support any kind of anchor===
{{See section|Wikipedia:Citation templates and reference anchors|Citation templates that create anchors}}
There are a few templates that do not support any kind of anchor, including {{tl|cite report}}, {{tl|cite music release notes}}, {{tl|cite DVD-notes}}, {{tl|cite episode}} and others.
It is possible to use {{tl|wikicite}} to create an anchor. It has a {{para|ref}} parameter which can be set to a [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]]. In this example, the publisher is considered the editor.
{{markup

===No citation template ===
If the citation is handwritten you should consider the citation format of the article. If citation templates are used often in this article, then check [[WP:Citation templates]] and try to find one that works for this source. If no template can be found, then this may be a source which can't be represented in our citation templates.
Use {{tl2|wikicite}} to make an anchor, setting Wikicite's {{para|ref}} to a [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]].
{{markup
|<nowiki>Article text.{{sfn |A particularly unusual citation}}
==Notes==

== Techniques and variations ==
=== Changing the appearance of the short citation ===
==== With a custom anchor ====
With a [[#custom anchors|custom anchor]], {{tl|sfn}} can have any appearance you want. Here are two examples that editors have asked about in the past.
* MLA style author-title short citations. Put name and title in {{para|1}}, don't set the year.
{{markup|<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">Article text.{{sfn|Ellison ''Ellison's Book''|p=13}}
{{reflist}}
* {{cite book
| last = Ellison | first = Larry
| title = Ellison's Book"

| ref = {{sfnref|Ellison ''Ellison's Book''}}
}}
</syntaxhighlight>|

* {{cite book
| last = Ellison | first = Larry
| title = Ellison's Book"
| year = 2011
| ref = {{sfnref|Ellison ''Ellison's Book''}}
}}
}}
* Adding the original date to a later edition of a book. Put the name, year and original date in {{para|1}}, don't set the year.
{{markup|<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">Article text.{{sfn|Voltaire 2030 [1752]|p=13}}

===Citations inside explanatory footnotes===
Sometimes an explanatory footnote requires a citation. There are several acceptable solutions.
Citations using {{tl1|sfn}} can't be directly embedded between {{tag|ref}} tags, because the following message will be produced: {{small|{{error|Cite error references missing group||nocat=true}}}}. But {{tl1|sfn}} can be used with templates {{tl1|efn}} and {{tl1|notelist}}, which separates the explanatory footnotes from the short citations, as shown in this example. (See also [[Chinese Room]], which is an article that makes extensive use of this technique.)

===Multiple lists of inline citations===
Sometimes there is a need to create two or more separate lists of inline footnotes. For example some family trees are contained in templates, they are transluded into several biographies, and they have their own self contained citations (see [[Template:Houston family tree]] and the article [[Margaret Lea Houston]]).
To facilitate this, while the main page uses the standard 1,2,3 footnote counting, it is common for family trees to use the efn template with a group parameter set—for example {{tlx|efn-lg}} (lower-greek). The efn templates are text templates, to link some or all of the content of the efn template to a long citation template such as {{tlx|cite book}} place {{tlx|harvnb}} or {{tlx|harv}} within the efn template.

{{anchor|Ps problems}}
== Open problems ==
=== Discouraged parameters ===
These parameters were designed to handle special cases that are better handled by other techniques.
====Parameter {{para|ps}}====
These templates have a parameter {{para|ps}}, designed to hold quotes and explanations.
Two or more {{tlc|sfn}} templates with the same authors, same year, and same page, but different {{para|ps}} will result in a {{small|{{error|Cite error: The named reference ... was defined multiple times with different content}}}} message. This message happens because the reference names that {{tlc|sfn}} creates will be the same, but the content between the {{tag|ref|params=name="FOOTNOTE..."|o}} tag and the {{tag|ref|c}} tag will be different.
A workaround is to convert the offending {{tlc|sfn}} templates to {{tlx|harvnb}} wrapped in {{tag|ref}} tags, as recommended in [[#Additional comments or quotes|§ Adding additional comments or quotes]]. This method is more versatile and robust.
Template {{para|ps}} also has a second (rare) use, when setting {{para|ps|none}}, which suppressed the final period. See [[#Variations in the format of the author-date citation|§ Variations in the format of the author-date citation]].
====Parameter {{para|ref}}====
The optional parameter {{para|ref}} was used to create an unusually named link from the short citation to the full citation. This typically would require setting the hand coded link on the full citation as well. It's easier to only set the link of the full citation to {{para|ref|{{tl2|sfnref}}}}.
If you specify {{para|ref|none}}, no hyperlink is created. However, if one does not want the link, it is always possible to simply use plain text instead of the template.
The parameter only appears in <nowiki>{{harv*}}</nowiki> templates, and may still appear in a few articles.
===Link works but displays a no target error===
When a short-cite template links to a full citation that is rendered by a template that wraps a CS1 template, like {{txl|cite DNB}} (which wraps {{txl|cite encyclopedia}}), a {{error-small|no target}} error may be displayed even when the short-cite template is valid and the link works. That is a "false positive" error. The error message can be suppressed by adding {{para|ignore-err|yes}} to the template, or by adding the template {{t|Sfn whitelist}} with the anchor ID(s) to the article. If you are testing changes in [[Special:ExpandTemplates]] and the error message cannot be suppressed, try testing in a sandbox or user subpage instead.
==={{ucfirst:sfn}} embedded in list-defined ref does not work===
If you [[Help:Footnotes#embedding references|embed]] an {{ucfirst:sfn}} 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}}.
==Implementation notes==
These templates use two elements: a [[wikilink]] in the body of the article, and an [[WP:ANCHOR DEF|anchor]] in the reference section of the article. Clicking on the wikilink repositions the page at the anchor.
===Citation template anchor===
{{See also|Wikipedia:Citation templates and reference anchors}}
The most common citation templates,{{cs1}} or {{cs2}}, create a [[HTML element#Links and anchors|anchor]] {{tag|a|o|params=name="CITEREF"}} followed by the concatenation of the following parameters:
* '''last''' or '''last1''' or '''surname''' or '''surname1''' or '''author-last''' or '''author-last1''' or '''author1-last''' or '''author-surname''' or '''author-surname1''' or '''author1-surname''' or '''author''' or '''author1''' or '''authors''',
* '''last2''' or '''surname2''' or '''author-last2''' or '''author2-last''' or '''author-surname2''' or '''author2-surname''' or '''author2''',
* '''last3''' or '''surname3''' or '''author-last3''' or '''author3-last''' or '''author-surname3''' or '''author3-surname''' or '''author3''',
* '''last4''' or '''surname4''' or '''author-last4''' or '''author4-last''' or '''author-surname4''' or '''author4-surname''' or '''author4''',
* '''editor-last''' or '''editor-last1''' or '''editor1-last''' or '''editor-surname''' or '''editor-surname1''' or '''editor1-surname''' or '''editor1''' or '''editor''',
* '''editor-last2''' or '''editor2-last''' or '''editor-surname2''' or '''editor2-surname''' or '''editor2''',
* '''editor-last3''' or '''editor3-last''' or '''editor-surname3''' or '''editor3-surname''' or '''editor3''',
* '''editor-last4''' or '''editor4-last''' or '''editor-surname4''' or '''editor4-surname''' or '''editor4''',
* '''date''', '''year'''
This covers the most common templates. Information about all of the templates is available at [[Wikipedia:Citation templates and reference anchors]].
Use of the '''date''' parameter in place of the '''year''' parameter in citation templates is preferred.
===Harvard citation wikilink===
The Harvard citation templates create a [[wikilink]] to the anchor. For example {{tlx|Harv|Smith|2006|4=p=25}} produces the link {{code|#CITEREFSmith2006}} and {{tlx|Citation|2=last=Smith|3=first=John|4=date=27 January 2006|5=title=My Life}} produces the anchor {{code|CITEREFSmith2006}}.
===Using CITEREF directly===
{{Shortcut|WP:CITEREF}}
A few articles create a custom ID using {{code|CITEREF}}, either in place of the Harvard citation template (e.g. <code><nowiki>[[#CITEREFSmith2006|(2006)]]</nowiki></code>) or as a value for {{para|ref}} in the citation template.
{{Refname rules|A custom ID must follow these rules:|
* If CITEREF is used, then spaces in the {{para|ref}} field must be replaced with underscores}}
Examples:
* {{tlx|sfn|{{var|cite name}}|{{var|year}}}}
* {{tlx|cite book|2=ref=CITEREF{{var|cite_nameyear}}}}
* {{tlx|cite book|2=ref={{tl|sfnref|{{var|cite_name}}|{{var|year}}}}}}
Where {{var|cite_name}} is a name such as the publisher.
To avoid the sometimes difficult to remember syntax for links to CITEREF anchors, {{tl|citeref}} can be used to create internal wikilinks with either small superscript-style labels (like this<sup>[n]</sup>) or plain free-text labels to such anchors. It can be used inside of other citations.
Note that the {{code|CITEREF}} prefix is necessary for the [[mw:Reference Tooltips|reference tooltips gadget]] ([[MediaWiki:Gadget-ReferenceTooltips.js]]) to detect that a link goes to a citation.
===[[Template:sfn|<code><nowiki>{{sfn}}</nowiki></code>]]'s [[WP:REFNAME|ref name]]===
Template {{tl2|sfn}} creates a [[WP:REFNAME|named footnote]], so that identical footnotes are combined automatically. The footnote name begins with {{code|FOOTNOTE}} followed by a concatenation of the arguments to {{tl2|sfn}}. E.g.: this template call:
* {{tlx|sfn|Smith|2006|4=p=26}}
should have exactly the same functionality as
* {{tag|ref|params=name="FOOTNOTESmith200626"|content={{tl2|Harvnb|Smith|2006|4=p=26}}.}}
which, in turn, has the same functionality as
* {{tag|ref|params=name="FOOTNOTESmith200626"|content=<nowiki>[[#CITEREFSmith2006|Smith (2006)]], p.&nbsp;26.</nowiki>}}.
{{anchor|url weirdness}}
The ref name becomes more complicated when the page (p) parameter includes a URL, e.g. {{tlg|sfn|Joyce|1903|p{{=}}[https://archive.org/details/aconcisehistory00joycgoog/page/n226 213]|code=on}}, which, once defined, can be called by {{tag|ref|empty|params=name="FOOTNOTEJoyce1903[httpsarchiveorgdetailsaconcisehistory00joycgoogpagen226 213]"}}. The "p=" and the characters |,:,.,/,?,=; are therefore stripped out of the URL. The content of the loc parameter is similarly appended after this.
The call to {{tl2|harvnb}} has been [[subst]]'ed for quicker load times.

{{Lua|Module:Footnotes|Module:Check for unknown parameters}}
The '''shortened footnote template''' {{tl|sfn}} creates a short [[WP:Citing sources#Short citations|author–date citation]] in a [[Wikipedia:Citing sources|footnote]], with a one-directional link to the first matching [[Wikipedia:Citation templates|citation template]] on the same page. It will combine identical footnotes automatically.
It is used to create {{sfnote|lc=y}}, a [[WP:CITESTYLE|citation style]] which pairs a short, author-date citation in a footnote with a [[WP:HOWCITE|complete citation]] in the references section at the end of the article (see example [[#Example|below]]). This citation style is used to simplify multiple citations to the same source and to reduce clutter in the edit window.
Common problems and known workarounds are given in the sections below. Use the table of contents to find what you need.
Note that the use (or even non-use) of these templates is an element of citation "style", and adding or removing them in articles with an established style should be consistent with that style. See [[WP:CITEVAR]].
==Usage==
'''Sfn''' generates an "author-date" style short-cite from the following parameters:
<div style="margin-left: 2em"><code>{{<nowiki>sfn</nowiki>| <{{var|last1}}*> | <{{var|last2}}> | <{{var|last3}}> | <{{var|last4}}> | <{{var|year}}*> | p= <{{var|page}}> | loc= <{{var|location}}> }}</code></div>
with
* <{{var|last1}}> – required; surname of first author or corporate author
* <{{var|last2}}>–<{{var|last4}}> – positional parameters; surnames of next three authors; required if available in the full citation
* <{{var|year}}> – required; four-digit year; may have a lowercase disambiguation letter, like {{pval|2012a}}
* {{para|p}} – specific page referenced in the source (alias: {{para|page}}{{hairspace}})
* {{para|pp}} – comma-separated list of [[Template:Csdoc#pages|individual pages and / or range(s) of pages]] referenced in the source (alias: {{para|pages}}{{hairspace}})
* {{para|loc}} – in-source location when {{para|p}} and {{para|pp}} are inappropriate; may be used to supplement {{para|p}} and {{para|pp}}; information such as a section or figure number. (alias: {{para|at}}{{hairspace}})
=== Example ===
Typical usage is shown in the example below. The text and the footnote are connected by a bi-directional link – clicking on the superscript takes the reader to the footnote, clicking on the footnote number takes them back to the superscript. The clicking on the short citation takes them to the full citation in the references section.
'''Sfn''' will also automatically combine identical footnotes.

Template '''sfn''' is not placed inside {{tag|ref}} tags and generates the footnote internally. (To place '''sfn''' in a footnote, see [[#A citation inside an explanatory footnote|putting a citation inside a footnote]], below.)
===Parameters===
====Author(s) and year====
The first four author surnames (or all authors if fewer than four; use the values from {{para|last''N''}} or {{para|author''N''}}{{hairspace}}) are required, followed by the year of publication (from {{para|year}} or {{para|date}}). Authors past the fourth must be omitted or an error will result.
The [[#Possible issues with author-date link|possible issues]] section below describes workarounds for various common problems, such as [[#Large number of authors|large number of authors]], [[#No author name in citation template|no author name]], [[#More than one work in a year|multiple works in the same year]], [[#Two sources with same last names and years|Two sources with same last names and years]] and others.

====Location in the source text====
Use {{para|p}} for single pages; use {{para|pp}} for multiple pages (such as ranges). Use of {{para|p}} for multiple pages or {{para|pp}} for single pages can cause [[Help:Cite errors/Cite error references duplicate key|cite errors]].
{{para|loc}} can be used to specify a location in the source in another way, such as section numbers or chapters. It can also be combined with {{para|p}} or {{para|pp}}.

==Possible issues with author-date link==
{{for|information on how to turn on error messages for broken links|:Category:Harv and Sfn template errors}}
These are techniques that address various unusual difficulties with the link between the short citation and the full citation.
Templates that have broken [[wikilink]]s using these templates are added to the category {{cat|All articles with broken links to citations}}.
===Wikilink to citation does not work===
If an article is using this template and nothing happens when you click on the highlighted [[wikilink]] from the [[WP:SHORTCITE|short citation]] to the [[WP:SHORTCITE|full citation]] at the bottom of the page, there are several possible solutions. If:
# Templates like this one are rarely used in this article. '''Solution''': Remove this template and format the citation in the style used most often in the article.
# The correct full citation does ''not'' appear at the bottom of the article. '''Solution''': Find the source (it may be copied from an article on a similar subject), and check that it verifies the text. If the source can't be found, replace this template with {{tl2|citation not found}}.
# The correct full citation appears at the bottom of the article, and
## The full citation uses a template from the list at [[Help:Citation Style 1|Citation Style 1]]:
### The citation template has only {{para|author}} and this template uses the last name. '''Solution''': Either (a) split the author name in to {{para|last}} and {{para|first}} in the full citation or (b) use the full name in the short citation. Be careful in either case to be consistent with the other citations in the article.
### The name in the short citation is spelled or capitalized differently than in the full citation. '''Solution''': Check the source for the correct spelling, and use the same spelling, spacing, and capitalization in both the short and full citations.
### There is more than one full citation with the same last name and year. '''Solution''': See [[#More than one work in a year|§More than one work in a year]] or [[#Two sources with same last names and years|§Two sources with same last names and years]].
### The year is different here than the full citation. '''Solution''': Check the source for the correct year, and use the same year in both the short and full citations.
### The template has a {{para|date}} field and no {{para|year}} field, but the format of the {{para|date}} field is unusual. '''Solution''': Try to fix the date. If the link still does not work, add {{para|year}} to the citation template. (It's okay if it has both.)
### The template does not have a year, or the date is set to "n.d." (no date). '''Solution''': Set the year field of this template to "n.d.".
### The template does not have an author's or an editor's, last name (authors take precedence over editors). '''Solution''': See [[#Citation template has no author name|§Citation template has no author name]], below.
### The template has no author, date or title. '''Solution''': See [[#Citation template has no author, date or title|§Citation template has no author, date or title]]
##Find the citation template in [[Wikipedia:Citation templates and reference anchors#Citation templates that create anchors|WP:Citation templates and anchors]] and find out if it has support for an anchor.
### The citation template doesn't automatically create the anchor, but has {{para|ref}}. '''Solution''': See [[#Citation template doesn't create a compatible anchor but has %7Cref=|§Citation template doesn't create a compatible anchor but has {{para|ref}}]], below.
### The citation template doesn't support anchors at all. '''Solution''': See [[#Citation template does not support any kind of anchor|§Citation format does not support any kind of anchor]], below.
##The full citation is handwritten.
### There are no other citation templates in the article. This is probably because local editors prefer it that way. '''Solution''': You should adapt to the style of the article. This would probably entail removing this template and formatting the short citation in plain text or replacing it with a full citation in {{tag|ref}} tags.
### There are citation templates used liberally throughout the article. '''Solution''': Reformat the source with the appropriate {{cite *}} template (and set the {{para|ref}} appropriately, if necessary).
### No appropriate template can be found. '''Solution''': See [[#No citation template|§No citation template]], below.
===Custom anchors===
A custom anchor using {{tl|sfnref}} can, at least temporarily, always make the shortened footnote look exactly the way you would like and still have a link that works. Many of the problems and workarounds below require a custom anchor.
All CS1 citation templates and several other templates allow you to set a custom anchor with parameter {{para|ref}}. The template {{tl|sfnRef}} creates an anchor that will match {{tl|sfn}}'s if it has the same parameters as {{tl|sfn}}. To use this technique, choose the name and year you would like to appear in {{tl|sfn}}, copy these parameters into {{tl|sfnRef}} and set {{tl|ref}} to the {{tl|sfnRef}}.
In other words, if you want this:
* {{tl2|sfn|<*''name you want''>|<''year''>|<''page / location''>}}
then set this:
* {{para|ref|{{tl2|sfnRef|<''name you want''>|<''year''>}}}}
in the template, and the link should work correctly.
The parameters must be <em>identical</em> in every respect. If the year is unusual (i.e. not a number), then include the year in the name and don't use the year position.
===Large number of authors===
If there are more than four authors, the first four authors' surnames (the value in {{para|last}} or {{para|author}}) are required by the template. Listing more authors is not supported. It is also possible to use a [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]] that sets the name field to "Smith et. al.".

===More than one work in a year===
Where there is a need to cite more than one work ''by the same author published in the same year'', the standard way to disambiguate such works is to add a letter suffix after the year, e.g. "Smith 2006a" and "Smith 2006b".
Set the year element of the {{tlc|sfn}} templates (e.g. {{tlc|sfn|Smith|2006a}} and {{tlc|sfn|Smith|2006a}}), and add the disambiguation letter to the matching full citation, (e.g. <code><nowiki>{{cite book|...|last=Smith|date=2006b}}</nowiki></code>).
When {{tlc|sfn}} is used with {{tlx|citation}} or {{cs1}} templates, a year-suffix letter may be added to {{para|date}} for all accepted date formats except year-initial numeric ({{small|YYYY-MM-DD}}). It is not necessary to include both {{para|date}} and {{para|year}} (see exception [[#NB_YEAR|below]]). If both are included, {{para|year}} is used for the <code>CITEREF</code> anchor to be compliant with legacy citations.
:{{para|date|2013a}}: simple year only dates
:{{para|date|Jan 2013b}} or {{para|date|Winter 2013b}}: month or season and year dates
:{{para|date|9 November 2013b}} or {{para|date|November 9, 2013b}}: full dates
:{{para|date|June–July 2013c}} or {{para|date|Winter–Spring 2013c}}: month or season ranges and year dates
:{{para|date|c. 2013d}}: circa year dates
:{{para|date|{{#time:Y}}–{{#time:Y|now +1 year}}e}} or {{para|date|Summer {{#time:Y}}–{{#time:y|now +1 year}}e}}: year ranges
:{{para|date|n.d.f}}: no date (n.d.)
:{{anchor|NB_YEAR}}<s>{{para|date|2013g-11-09}}</s>: not supported, the template must use {{para|year|2013g}}. If month and day should be part of the citation as well, both parameters need to be given: {{para|date|2013-11-09}} {{para|year|2013x}}. In this case, {{para|date}} is used for citation display and metadata purposes, and {{para|year}} for link disambiguation.

===Two sources with same last names and years ===
An article might cite works from the same year by two different authors with the same last name. For example, an article might cite psychoanalysts [[Anna Freud]] and [[Sigmund Freud]], who both wrote books in the same year.
There are two solutions: it's possible to use the same technique described in the previous section. To differentiate between the two books, the first one can be given the year "1928a" and the second one "1928b".
Or, you can create a [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]] that adds an initial to the name fields, e.g. "A. Freud" and "S. Freud". The links will no longer conflict.

===Citation template has no year but has a date===
Either the {{para|date}} or {{para|year}} of a citation template can be matched—the template logic can extract the year from a full date. If the date parameter is not a full date, then the extraction will fail. If the link does not seem to work, it also possible to set both {{para|date}} and {{para|year}} parameters. The template will display the date and use the year for the anchor. These two examples show a year being successfully extracted from full date.

===Citation template has no date===
If the cited source does not have a date, you can use {{para|date|n.d.}} for the full citation and "n.d." in place of the date for the short citation:
{{markup
|<nowiki>This is a fact.{{sfn|Smith|n.d.}}
==Notes==
{{reflist}}
==References==
* {{Citation |last=Smith |title=Title |date=n.d. |publisher=Publisher |mode=cs1}}</nowiki>

{{reflist}}
{{fake heading|sub=3|References}}
* {{Citation |last=Smith |title=Title |date=n.d. |publisher=Publisher |mode=cs1}}
}}
===Citation template has no author name===
Some sources do not have a single author with a last name, such as a magazine article or a report from a government institution. There is no consensus (in Wikipedia or among citation styles) about how to format author–date citations for works that do not have a specific author. Several choices are:
# The title of the article, or a shortened form of the title, is recommended by some style guides.
# For a newspaper or periodical, you may use the name of the paper and the date.
# For a publication by an institution, use either:
## The initials of the institution
## The name of the institution
# Other style guides recommend using "Anonymous" or "Anon."
An article should adopt one of these styles consistently.
Use a [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]] to replace set the author name to one of these other choices, as shown in these examples below.

=== Citation template has no author, date or title ===
If the cited source does not have a date, author, or title, place a description of the source within brackets for the {{para|title}} parameter, use {{para|date|n.d.}} and create [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]] with the description in the name position and "n.d." in the year.

{{markup

You could also use CITEREF directly with a concatenation of <code>#CITEREF</code> plus the parameters passed to the Harvard citation template.
===Citation template does not support any kind of anchor===
{{See section|Wikipedia:Citation templates and reference anchors|Citation templates that create anchors}}
There are a few templates that do not support any kind of anchor, including {{tl|cite report}}, {{tl|cite music release notes}}, {{tl|cite DVD-notes}}, {{tl|cite episode}} and others.
It is possible to use {{tl|wikicite}} to create an anchor. It has a {{para|ref}} parameter which can be set to a [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]]. In this example, the publisher is considered the editor.

===No citation template ===
If the citation is handwritten you should consider the citation format of the article. If citation templates are used often in this article, then check [[WP:Citation templates]] and try to find one that works for this source. If no template can be found, then this may be a source which can't be represented in our citation templates.
Use {{tl2|wikicite}} to make an anchor, setting Wikicite's {{para|ref}} to a [[#Custom anchors|custom anchor]].
{{markup

== Techniques and variations ==
=== Changing the appearance of the short citation ===
==== With a custom anchor ====
With a [[#custom anchors|custom anchor]], {{tl|sfn}} can have any appearance you want. Here are two examples that editors have asked about in the past.
* MLA style author-title short citations. Put name and title in {{para|1}}, don't set the year.
{{markup|<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">Article text.{{sfn|Ellison ''Ellison's Book''|p=13}}
{{reflist}}
* {{cite book
| last = Ellison | first = Larry
| title = Ellison's Book"

| ref = {{sfnref|Ellison ''Ellison's Book''}}
}}
</syntaxhighlight>|

* {{cite book
| last = Ellison | first = Larry
| title = Ellison's Book"
| year = 2011
| ref = {{sfnref|Ellison ''Ellison's Book''}}
}}
}}
* Adding the original date to a later edition of a book. Put the name, year and original date in {{para|1}}, don't set the year.
{{markup|<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">Article text.{{sfn|Voltaire 2030 [1752]|p=13}}

===Citations inside explanatory footnotes===
Sometimes an explanatory footnote requires a citation. There are several acceptable solutions.
Citations using {{tl1|sfn}} can't be directly embedded between {{tag|ref}} tags, because the following message will be produced: {{small|{{error|Cite error references missing group||nocat=true}}}}. But {{tl1|sfn}} can be used with templates {{tl1|efn}} and {{tl1|notelist}}, which separates the explanatory footnotes from the short citations, as shown in this example. (See also [[Chinese Room]], which is an article that makes extensive use of this technique.)

===Multiple lists of inline citations===
Sometimes there is a need to create two or more separate lists of inline footnotes. For example some family trees are contained in templates, they are transluded into several biographies, and they have their own self contained citations (see [[Template:Houston family tree]] and the article [[Margaret Lea Houston]]).
To facilitate this, while the main page uses the standard 1,2,3 footnote counting, it is common for family trees to use the efn template with a group parameter set—for example {{tlx|efn-lg}} (lower-greek). The efn templates are text templates, to link some or all of the content of the efn template to a long citation template such as {{tlx|cite book}} place {{tlx|harvnb}} or {{tlx|harv}} within the efn template.

{{anchor|Ps problems}}
== Open problems ==
=== Discouraged parameters ===
These parameters were designed to handle special cases that are better handled by other techniques.
====Parameter {{para|ps}}====
These templates have a parameter {{para|ps}}, designed to hold quotes and explanations.
Two or more {{tlc|sfn}} templates with the same authors, same year, and same page, but different {{para|ps}} will result in a {{small|{{error|Cite error: The named reference ... was defined multiple times with different content}}}} message. This message happens because the reference names that {{tlc|sfn}} creates will be the same, but the content between the {{tag|ref|params=name="FOOTNOTE..."|o}} tag and the {{tag|ref|c}} tag will be different.
A workaround is to convert the offending {{tlc|sfn}} templates to {{tlx|harvnb}} wrapped in {{tag|ref}} tags, as recommended in [[#Additional comments or quotes|§ Adding additional comments or quotes]]. This method is more versatile and robust.
Template {{para|ps}} also has a second (rare) use, when setting {{para|ps|none}}, which suppressed the final period. See [[#Variations in the format of the author-date citation|§ Variations in the format of the author-date citation]].
====Parameter {{para|ref}}====
The optional parameter {{para|ref}} was used to create an unusually named link from the short citation to the full citation. This typically would require setting the hand coded link on the full citation as well. It's easier to only set the link of the full citation to {{para|ref|{{tl2|sfnref}}}}.
If you specify {{para|ref|none}}, no hyperlink is created. However, if one does not want the link, it is always possible to simply use plain text instead of the template.
The parameter only appears in <nowiki>{{harv*}}</nowiki> templates, and may still appear in a few articles.
===Link works but displays a no target error===
When a short-cite template links to a full citation that is rendered by a template that wraps a CS1 template, like {{txl|cite DNB}} (which wraps {{txl|cite encyclopedia}}), a {{error-small|no target}} error may be displayed even when the short-cite template is valid and the link works. That is a "false positive" error. The error message can be suppressed by adding {{para|ignore-err|yes}} to the template, or by adding the template {{t|Sfn whitelist}} with the anchor ID(s) to the article. If you are testing changes in [[Special:ExpandTemplates]] and the error message cannot be suppressed, try testing in a sandbox or user subpage instead.
==={{ucfirst:sfn}} embedded in list-defined ref does not work===
If you [[Help:Footnotes#embedding references|embed]] an {{ucfirst:sfn}} 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}}.
==Implementation notes==
These templates use two elements: a [[wikilink]] in the body of the article, and an [[WP:ANCHOR DEF|anchor]] in the reference section of the article. Clicking on the wikilink repositions the page at the anchor.
===Citation template anchor===
{{See also|Wikipedia:Citation templates and reference anchors}}
The most common citation templates,{{cs1}} or {{cs2}}, create a [[HTML element#Links and anchors|anchor]] {{tag|a|o|params=name="CITEREF"}} followed by the concatenation of the following parameters:
* '''last''' or '''last1''' or '''surname''' or '''surname1''' or '''author-last''' or '''author-last1''' or '''author1-last''' or '''author-surname''' or '''author-surname1''' or '''author1-surname''' or '''author''' or '''author1''' or '''authors''',
* '''last2''' or '''surname2''' or '''author-last2''' or '''author2-last''' or '''author-surname2''' or '''author2-surname''' or '''author2''',
* '''last3''' or '''surname3''' or '''author-last3''' or '''author3-last''' or '''author-surname3''' or '''author3-surname''' or '''author3''',
* '''last4''' or '''surname4''' or '''author-last4''' or '''author4-last''' or '''author-surname4''' or '''author4-surname''' or '''author4''',
* '''editor-last''' or '''editor-last1''' or '''editor1-last''' or '''editor-surname''' or '''editor-surname1''' or '''editor1-surname''' or '''editor1''' or '''editor''',
* '''editor-last2''' or '''editor2-last''' or '''editor-surname2''' or '''editor2-surname''' or '''editor2''',
* '''editor-last3''' or '''editor3-last''' or '''editor-surname3''' or '''editor3-surname''' or '''editor3''',
* '''editor-last4''' or '''editor4-last''' or '''editor-surname4''' or '''editor4-surname''' or '''editor4''',
* '''date''', '''year'''
This covers the most common templates. Information about all of the templates is available at [[Wikipedia:Citation templates and reference anchors]].
Use of the '''date''' parameter in place of the '''year''' parameter in citation templates is preferred.
===Harvard citation wikilink===
The Harvard citation templates create a [[wikilink]] to the anchor. For example {{tlx|Harv|Smith|2006|4=p=25}} produces the link {{code|#CITEREFSmith2006}} and {{tlx|Citation|2=last=Smith|3=first=John|4=date=27 January 2006|5=title=My Life}} produces the anchor {{code|CITEREFSmith2006}}.
===Using CITEREF directly===
{{Shortcut|WP:CITEREF}}
A few articles create a custom ID using {{code|CITEREF}}, either in place of the Harvard citation template (e.g. <code><nowiki>[[#CITEREFSmith2006|(2006)]]</nowiki></code>) or as a value for {{para|ref}} in the citation template.
{{Refname rules|A custom ID must follow these rules:|
* If CITEREF is used, then spaces in the {{para|ref}} field must be replaced with underscores}}
Examples:
* {{tlx|sfn|{{var|cite name}}|{{var|year}}}}
* {{tlx|cite book|2=ref=CITEREF{{var|cite_nameyear}}}}
* {{tlx|cite book|2=ref={{tl|sfnref|{{var|cite_name}}|{{var|year}}}}}}
Where {{var|cite_name}} is a name such as the publisher.
To avoid the sometimes difficult to remember syntax for links to CITEREF anchors, {{tl|citeref}} can be used to create internal wikilinks with either small superscript-style labels (like this<sup>[n]</sup>) or plain free-text labels to such anchors. It can be used inside of other citations.
Note that the {{code|CITEREF}} prefix is necessary for the [[mw:Reference Tooltips|reference tooltips gadget]] ([[MediaWiki:Gadget-ReferenceTooltips.js]]) to detect that a link goes to a citation.
===[[Template:sfn|<code><nowiki>{{sfn}}</nowiki></code>]]'s [[WP:REFNAME|ref name]]===
Template {{tl2|sfn}} creates a [[WP:REFNAME|named footnote]], so that identical footnotes are combined automatically. The footnote name begins with {{code|FOOTNOTE}} followed by a concatenation of the arguments to {{tl2|sfn}}. E.g.: this template call:
* {{tlx|sfn|Smith|2006|4=p=26}}
should have exactly the same functionality as
* {{tag|ref|params=name="FOOTNOTESmith200626"|content={{tl2|Harvnb|Smith|2006|4=p=26}}.}}
which, in turn, has the same functionality as
* {{tag|ref|params=name="FOOTNOTESmith200626"|content=<nowiki>[[#CITEREFSmith2006|Smith (2006)]], p.&nbsp;26.</nowiki>}}.
{{anchor|url weirdness}}
The ref name becomes more complicated when the page (p) parameter includes a URL, e.g. {{tlg|sfn|Joyce|1903|p{{=}}[https://archive.org/details/aconcisehistory00joycgoog/page/n226 213]|code=on}}, which, once defined, can be called by {{tag|ref|empty|params=name="FOOTNOTEJoyce1903[httpsarchiveorgdetailsaconcisehistory00joycgoogpagen226 213]"}}. The "p=" and the characters |,:,.,/,?,=; are therefore stripped out of the URL. The content of the loc parameter is similarly appended after this.
The call to {{tl2|harvnb}} has been [[subst]]'ed for quicker load times.

== Parameters ==
{{notice|Do not use all these parameters for any one person. The list is long to cover a wide range of people. Use only those parameters that convey essential or notable information about the subject, and ensure that this information is sourced in the article or (if present only in the infobox) in the infobox itself.}}
Any parameters left blank or omitted will not be displayed. Many parameters have alternative names, implemented for compatibility with other templates (especially to aid merging). The preferred names are shown in the table below.
{| class="wikitable"
! Parameter
! Explanation
|-
| {{code|honorific_prefix}}
| To appear on the line above the person's name. This is for honorifics of serious significance that are attached to the name in formal address, such as knighthoods, "The Honourable", and "His/Her Excellency"; do not use it for routine things like "{{!mxt|[[Dr.]]}}" or "{{!mxt|[[Ms.]]}}"
|-
| {{code|name}}
| Common name of person (defaults to article name if left blank; provide {{para|birth_name}} (below) if different from {{para|name}}). If middle initials are specified (or implied) by the lead of the article, and are not specified separately in the {{para|birth_name}} parameter, include them here. ''Do not put honorifics or alternative names in this parameter.'' There are separate parameters for these things, covered below.
|-
| {{code|honorific_suffix}}
| To appear on the line below the person's name. This is for things like {{para|honorific_suffix|[[Officer of the Order of the British Empire|OBE]]}} – honorifics of serious significance that are attached to the name in formal address, such as national orders and non-honorary doctorates; do not use it for routine things like "{{!mxt|[[Bachelor of Arts|BA]]}}". It is permissible but not required to use the {{tlx|post-nominals}} template inside this parameter; doing so requires {{tlx|post-nominals|size{{=}}100%|...}}.
|-
| {{code|native_name}}
| The person's name in their own language, if different.
|-
| {{code|native_name_lang}}
| [[ISO 639-1]] code, e.g., "{{pval|fr}}" for French. If more than one, use {{tlx|lang}} around each name in {{para|native_name}} instead.
|-
| {{code|image}}
| Image name: {{pval|abc.jpg}}, {{pval|xpz.png}}, {{pval|123.gif}}, etc., without the {{code|File:}} or {{code|Image:}} prefix. If an image is desired but not available, one may add {{pval|yes}} to the {{para|needs-photo}} parameter of the {{tlx|WikiProject Biography}} template on the talk page. If no image is available yet, [[Wikipedia:Centralized discussion/Image placeholders|do not use an image placeholder]]. See [[#Image]] for further guidelines.
|-
| {{code|image_upright}}
| Scales the image thumbnail from its default size by the given factor. Values less than 1 scale the image down (0.9 = 90%) and values greater than 1 scale the image up (1.15 = 115%).
|-
| {{code|landscape}}
| Set to <code>yes</code> when using wide, short images. The image height (rather than width) will be limited to 200 pixels.
|-
| {{code|alt}}
| Descriptive [[Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Accessibility/Alternative text for images|{{code|alt}} text for the image]], for visually impaired readers. One word (such as {{pval|photograph}}) is rarely sufficient. Do not copy-paste the value of {{para|caption}} (below) into this parameter. Example of the difference: "Willie Nelson at a concert in Dallas, 1989" is good as {{para|caption}} value; "Nelson in western-wear with an acoustic guitar, on stage in a daytime show with band in background" is an {{para|alt}} description. If nothing meaningful can be said that isn't already in the caption, use the [[Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Accessibility/Alternative text for images#Captions and nearby text|stock text]] {{para|alt|refer to caption}}.
|-
| {{code|caption}}
| Caption for image, if needed. Try to include the date of photo, some context (check the <code>File:</code> or [[Wikimedia Commons|Commons]] page for the image). Image credit should generally not be included per [[MOS:CREDITS]].
|-
| {{code|pronunciation}}
| Details of how to pronounce the individual's native name. <!--copied from TemplateData description, if changed please update there also-->
|-
| {{code|birth_name}}
| Name at birth; use only if different from {{para|name}}.
|-
| {{code|birth_date}}
| Date of birth: Use {{tlx|birth date and age}} (if living) or {{tlx|birth date}} (if dead). {{crossref|See template's page for details on usage.}} If only a year of birth is known, or age as of a certain date, consider using {{tlx|birth year and age}} or {{tlx|birth based on age as of date}}. For living people [[Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons#Privacy of personal information and using primary sources|supply only the year unless the exact date is already widely published]]. Treat such cases as if only the year is known, so use {{tlx|birth year and age}} or a similar option. The templates mentioned in this paragraph emit metadata indicating the date is in the Gregorian calendar; if the date is in the Julian calendar, do not use these templates, just write the date.
|- id="birth_place"
| {{code|birth_place}}
| Place of birth: {{var|city}}, {{var|administrative region}}, {{var|country}}.
* Use the name of the birthplace at the time of birth, e.g.: {{pval|Saigon}} (prior to 1976) or {{pval|Ho Chi Minh City}} (post-1976).
* [[Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Icons#Do not use flags to indicate locations of birth, residence, or death|Do not use a flag template]], coat of arms, or other icon.
* [[Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Infoboxes#Purpose|Omit unnecessary or redundant details]]. For example, it is not necessary to state: {{!xt|{{pval|New York City, [[New York (state)|New York]], United States}}}} when {{xt|{{pval|New York City, U.S.}}}} conveys essentially the same information more concisely.
* Country name should be visible (not just in a link target). Well-known countries [[Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Linking#What generally should not be linked|should generally not be linked]], but historical and less-well-known countries can be.
* For modern subjects, the country should generally be a sovereign state; for United Kingdom locations, the constituent [[Countries of the United Kingdom|countries of the UK]] are sometimes used instead, when more appropriate in the context.
* For historical subjects, use the place name most appropriate for the context and our readership.
* Historical sovereign should be clear from the place of birth, as this determines nationality and citizenship. {{xt|Porbandar, Kathiawar Agency, British India}}; {{xt|San Juan, Puerto Rico, Spanish Empire}}
* For subsequent places (of death, etc.) it is not necessary to repeat jurisdictional details or links for the same place name.
* Follow [[MOS:USA]], e.g. "US" instead of "USA"
* When clarifying for historical reasons ("then a part of X" or "now in X"), follow [[MOS:GEOLINK]].
|-
| {{code|baptised}}<br/>or {{code|baptized}}
| Date of baptism: {{em|Only}} for use when birth date is not known (e.g., for [[Ludwig van Beethoven]]). Will not display if a birth date is entered. Do not use subtemplates. Parameter <code>baptized</code> can be used for articles that use American English spelling.
|-
| {{code|disappeared_date}}
| (For missing people) Date of disappearance: Use {{tlx|disappeared date and age}} (if birth date is known) or {{tlx|disappeared date}} (if birth date unknown).
|-
| {{code|disappeared_place}}
| (For missing people) Place of disappearance: {{var|city}}, {{var|administrative region}}, {{var|country}}. <!--This space is needed for readability, due to quirk of these templated elements being in proximity.--> ({{crossref|See {{para|birth_place}}, [[#birth place|above]], for instructions on how to use this parameter}}, including: no flag templates, inappropriate linking, redundancy, anachronisms, "country" definitions, etc.)
|-
| {{code|disappeared_status}}
| (For missing people) Current status for the person, e.g., if the person is still regarded as missing (using {{tlx|missing for}} to calculate the time since disappearance), or if the person has been [[Declared death in absentia|declared dead ''{{lang|la|in absentia}}'']], with a date for such a ruling.
|-
| {{code|death_date}}
| Date of death: Use {{tlx|death date and age}} (if birth date is known) or {{tlx|death date}} (if birth date unknown). {{crossref|See template's page for details on usage.}} If exact dates are unknown, consider using {{tlx|death year and age}}. The templates mentioned in this paragraph emit metadata indicating the date is in the Gregorian calendar; if the date is in the Julian calendar, do not use these templates, just write the date.
|-
| {{code|death_place}}
| Place of death: {{var|city}}, {{var|administrative region}}, {{var|country}}. ({{crossref|See {{para|birth_place}}, [[#birth place|above]], for instructions on how to use this parameter}}, including: no flag templates, inappropriate linking, redundancy, anachronisms, "country" definitions, etc.)
|-
| {{code|death_cause}}
| Cause of death. Should be clearly defined and sourced, and should only be included when the cause of death has significance for the subject's notability, e.g. [[James Dean]], [[John Lennon]]. It should not be filled in for unremarkable deaths such as those from old age or routine illness, e.g. [[Bruce Forsyth]], [[Eduard Khil]].
|-
| {{code|body_discovered}}
| Place where the body was discovered (if different from place of death). {{var|city}}, {{var|administrative region}}, {{var|country}}. ({{crossref|See {{para|birth_place}}, [[#birth place|above]], for instructions on how to use this parameter}}, including: no flag templates, inappropriate linking, redundancy, anachronisms, "country" definitions, etc.)
|-
| {{code|burial_place}}
| Place of burial {{var|city}}, {{var|administrative region}}, {{var|country}}. ({{crossref|See {{para|birth_place}}, [[#birth place|above]], for instructions on how to use this parameter}}, including: no flag templates, inappropriate linking, redundancy, anachronisms, "country" definitions, etc. {{crossref|See {{para|resting_place}} for non-burials}}.)
|-
| {{code|burial_coordinates}}
| Coordinates for place of burial, to accompany {{para|burial_place}}. Use {{tlx|coord}} template.
|-
| {{code|resting_place}}
| Location of columbarium, ash-scattering, etc. If no location, leave blank. {{var|city}}, {{var|administrative region}}, {{var|country}}. ({{crossref|See {{para|birth_place}}, [[#birth place|above]], for instructions on how to use this parameter}}, including: no flag templates, inappropriate linking, redundancy, anachronisms, "country" definitions, etc.)
|-
| {{code|resting_place_coordinates}}
| Coordinates for location of columbarium, ash-scattering etc. Use {{tlx|coord}} template.
|-
| {{code|monuments}}
| Significant monuments erected, buildings named, etc., in honour of the subject. If many, link to an appropriate section of the article instead.
|-
| {{code|other_names}}
| Other notable names for the person, if different from {{para|name}} and {{para|birth_name}}. [[Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Biographies#Pseudonyms|This can include]] stage names, maiden/married names, nicknames, criminal aliases, etc.
|-
| {{code|siglum}}
| [[Siglum]] or monogram, a text shortcut (often formed from the initials of the name, with variations) used to sign work, if relevant.
|-
| {{code|citizenship}}
| Country of legal citizenship. Rarely needed - omit if the same as birth country. See [[WP:INFONAT]] for detailed guidelines. {{crossref|Also see {{para|birth_place}}, [[#birth place|above]], for instructions on how to use this parameter}}, including: no flag templates, inappropriate linking, anachronisms, "country" definitions, etc.
|-
| {{code|education}}
| Include subject's educational credentials, typically university degrees. List the full article title of each degree-granting parent institution, followed by degree(s) earned in parentheses, e.g. an alumnus of [[Harvard College]], [[Harvard Law School]], and the [[Kellogg School of Management]] would be listed as: <br>
[[Harvard University]] (BA, JD) <br>
[[Northwestern University]] (MBA) <br><br> If insufficient information is available to determine specific credentials attained, the 'alma_mater' parameter may be more appropriate.
|-
| {{code|alma_mater}}
| ''[[Alma mater]]''. This parameter is a more concise alternative to (not addition to) {{para|education}}, and will often consist of the linked name of the last-attended institution of higher education (not secondary schools). It is usually not relevant to include either parameter for non-graduates, but article talk page consensus may conclude otherwise, as perhaps at [[Bill Gates]].
|-
| {{code|occupation}}
| Occupation(s) as given in the lead. Use list markup for three or more entries, e.g. with {{tlx|flatlist}}. Please observe [[sentence case]] and capitalise only the first letter of the first item; e.g.:
{{block indent|1={{Flatlist|
* Musician
* singer-songwriter
* actor
}}}}
|-
| {{code|years_active}}
| Date range in years during which the subject was active in their principal occupation(s) and/or other activity for which they are notable. Use the format {{code|1950–2000}}, or {{code|1970–present}} if still active. [[Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Dates and numbers#Ranges|Date ranges]] always use an [[Wikipedia:Manual of Style#En dashes|en dash]], not hyphen. If no dates of birth and/or death are known for the subject, only a ''[[floruit]]'' date range, as is common with ancient subjects, this parameter can be used for it. If approximate (''[[wikt:circa#English|circa]]'') dates are known for either or both, put them in the {{para|birth_date}} and {{para|death_date}} parameters. Helpful templates: {{tlx|floruit}}, {{tlx|circa}}.
|-
| {{code|era}}
| Era (e.g., {{pval|Medieval}}) in which the person lived; less specific than {{para|years_active}}. Should not be used if dates are available.
|-
| {{code|employer}}
| Employer(s), if relevant.
|-
| {{code|organization}} or {{code|organisation}}
| Non-employing organization(s), if relevant.
|-
| {{code|agent}}
| The subject's agent (individual and/or agency), discouraged in most cases, specifically when promotional, and requiring a [[Wikipedia:Identifying reliable sources|reliable source]].
|-
| {{code|known_for}}
| A brief description of why the person is notable.
|-
| {{ubl|{{code|notable_works}};<br/> {{small|alternatives:}}
|{{code|credits}}
|{{code|label_name}}
|{{code|works}}
}}
| Title(s) of notable work(s) (publications, compositions, sculptures, films, etc.) by the subject, if any. Produces the label '''Notable work'''. May be overridden by {{para|credits}}, which produces '''Notable credit(s)'''; or by {{para|works}}, which produces '''Works'''; or by {{para|label_name}}, which produces '''Label(s)'''.
* The {{para|notable_works}}, {{para|credits}}, and {{para|label_name}} parameters are intended to be (at most) short [[#Inline lists|inline lists]].
* The {{para|label_name}} variant is used for one or more record labels with which a performer is associated, or a fashion label in which a designer has been heavily involved or for which they are well known. Remember that this parameter is an alternative to the others mentioned here and is not used along with them.
* The {{para|works}} variant is intended to link to {{em|a specific list article}} for a larger body of work (not all of which may be individually notable).
|-
| {{code|style}}
| The style of the subject's works, if applicable. {{crossref|This parameter is not for [[Style (manner of address)|styles of address or office]]; see {{para|honorific_prefix}}.}}
|-
| {{code|television}}
| Television programmes presented by or {{em|closely}} associated with the subject. For multiple entries, use an [[#Inline lists|inline list]].
|-
| {{code|height}}
| If person was notable for their height, or if height is relevant. If used, this should also include the year of the measurement if the person had not reached full adulthood when this stat was published. {{crossref|See documentation of this parameter at [[Template:Infobox sportsperson#height|Template:Infobox sportsperson]] for more information.}}
|-
| {{code|title}}
| Multiple uses:
* Formal title, such as {{pval|First Lady of Japan}} for [[Akie Abe]].
* Awarded title, such as {{pval|Mr. Olympia}} for [[Arnold Schwarzenegger]].
* Job title, such as {{pval|President of Calvin College}} for [[Anthony Diekema]].
* A combination of the above, such as {{pval|Professor of Mathematics}} and {{pval|[[Fellow of the Royal Society]]}} for [[Bill Parry (mathematician)|Bill Parry]]
For multiple entries, use an [[#Inline lists|inline list]].
Use the {{para|awards}} parameter, below, for awarded honors that are not really titles. A single award should not use both parameters.
|-
| {{code|office}}
| May be used as an alternative to {{para|title}} when the label is better displayed as '''Office''' (e.g. public office or appointments). Using this parameter will override {{para|title}}.
|-
| {{code|term}}
| Years the person held the {{para|title}} or {{para|office}} listed above. Helpful template: {{tlx|reign}} (also used for civil offices).
|-
| {{code|predecessor}}
| Person who previously held the {{para|title}} or {{para|office}} listed above.
|-
| {{code|successor}}
| Person who subsequently held the {{para|title}} or {{para|office}} listed above.

|-
| {{code|opponents}}
| Notable relevant opponents (e.g., for major political office).
|-
| {{code|boards}}
| For [[board of directors]] membership(s), if relevant. Field labeled '''Board member of'''.
|-
| {{ubl|{{code|criminal_charges}}|{{code|criminal_penalty}}|{{code|criminal_status}}}}
| For convicted criminals only. Please be certain to support these parameters with citations from reliable sources, in the article body.
|-
| {{code|spouse}}
| Name of spouse(s), followed by years of marriage. Use the format ''Name (m. 1950)'' for a current spouse, and ''Name (m. 1970–1999)'' for former spouse(s). Use article title (if linking) or [[Wikipedia:Article titles#Use commonly recognizable names|common name]]. For multiple entries, use an [[#Inline lists|inline list]]. For deceased persons still married at time of death, do not include the end year.
|-
| {{code|partner}}
| If particularly relevant, or if the partner is notable; "partner" here means unmarried life partners in a [[domestic partnership]] (of any gender or sexual orientation), not business partner. Use the format ''Name (1950–present)'' for current partner and ''Name (1970–1999)'' for former partner(s).
|- id=children
| {{code|children}}
| Typically the number of children (e.g., {{pval|3}}); only list names of independently notable or particularly relevant children. Names may be preceded by a number to show total children and avoid implying that named children are the only offspring. For multiple entries, use an [[#Inline lists|inline list]]. {{em|For [[Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons#Privacy of names|privacy reasons]], consider omitting the names of living children, unless notable.}}
|-
| {{code|parents}}
| Names of parents; include only if they are independently notable or particularly relevant. For multiple entries, use an [[#Inline lists|inline list]]. If subject has only one notable mother and/or only one notable father, {{para|mother}} and {{para|father}} parameters may be used instead. These parameters may be used for biological, adoptive, foster, or step-parents.
|-
| {{code|mother}}
| Name of mother; include only if subject has one mother who is independently notable or particularly relevant. Displays '''Parent(s)''' as label, and is overridden by the {{para|parents}} parameter.
|-
| {{code|father}}
| Name of father; include only if subject has one father who is independently notable or particularly relevant. Displays '''Parent(s)''' as label, and is overridden by the {{para|parents}} parameter.
|-
| {{code|relatives}}
| Names of siblings or other relatives; include only if independently notable and particularly relevant. Include the relationship in parentheses after the name (sister, uncle, etc.). For multiple entries, use an [[#Inline lists|inline list]].
|-
| {{code|callsign}}
| Amateur radio [[call sign]], if relevant.
|-
| {{code|awards}}
| Notable awards. If many, link to an appropriate section of the article instead. Use {{para|title}} parameter, above, for awarded titles; A single award should not use both parameters.
|-
| {{code|website}}
| Official website only. Unofficial websites should be placed under <code><nowiki>==External links==</nowiki></code> in the body of the article. Use {{tlx|URL}} as in {{tnull|URL|Example.com}}. Do not display the {{samp|www.}} part unless the site requires it.
|-
| {{ubl | {{code|module}} | {{code|module2}} | {{code|module3}} | {{code|module4}} | {{code|module5}} | {{code|module6}} }}
| Used for embedding other infoboxes into this one. Example:
<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">
{{Infobox person
| name = Paul McCartney
...
| module =

| embed = yes
| instrument = piano
...
}} <!-- end of Infobox musical artist -->
...
}} <!-- end of Infobox person -->
</syntaxhighlight>
{{crossref|For more detailed information, see [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Infoboxes/embed]].}}
|-
| {{code|signature}}
| An image of the person's signature. Please use image name: {{pval|abc.jpg}}, {{pval|xpz.png}}, {{pval|123.gif}}, etc., without the {{samp|File:}} or {{samp|Image:}} prefix
|-
| {{code|signature_type}}
| Changes the '''Signature''' label to the preferred argument, such as '''Seal'''
|-
| {{code|signature_size}}
| Default is {{samp|150px}}. If necessary, a signature can be resized manually as per the {{para|image_size}} parameter.
|-
| {{code|signature_alt}}
| Alt text for the signature image. For example, for {{samp|[[:File:Thomas Jefferson Signature.svg]]}}, the alt text might be {{para|signature_alt| Th: Jefferson}}, spelling out the signature exactly as it appears in the image.
|-
| {{code|footnotes}}
| Textual notes about any of the infobox data. This is not for reference citations. If an infobox parameter's value needs a citation, [[Wikipedia:Citing sources|cite inline]] at the end of the value. Citations will appear in the article's references section along with the other citations in the article.
|-
| {{code|image_size}}
| {{strongbad|Deprecated}}. Size to display image: {{pval|200px}} (set width), {{pval|x300px}} (set height), or {{pval|200x300px}} (max width & max height). If empty or omitted, this defaults to {{samp|frameless}} (default is {{samp|220px}}, but logged-in users can change this by clicking on "my preferences" and adjusting thumbnail size). [[Wikipedia:Image use policy#Displayed image size|Use of this parameter is discouraged]]. Use {{para|image_upright}} instead. Do not use "{{!mxt|×}}" or capital "{{!mxt|X}}"
|-
| {{code|template_name}}
| '''This parameter should not be used in articles.''' It allows other templates to specify a template name such as ''Infobox architect'' for parameter tracking categories, like [[:Category:Pages using infobox architect with unknown parameters]] instead of [[:Category:Pages using infobox person with unknown parameters]]. The parameter is found in templates which use [[Template:Infobox person]] via [[Module:Template wrapper]], see [[:Category:Templates calling Infobox person]].
|}
=== Additional parameter usage explanation ===
==== Image ====
The image in the infobox should be representative of the person who is the subject of the article. For some historical figures, particularly those born in the 18th century or before, this image is often a painting or other artistic depiction of the individual (see [[George Washington]]). Persons born in the 20th century onward, such as [[Barack Obama]], are most often represented by a photograph of the individual.
When the subject of a biographical article has recently died, particularly those who have been publicly known for decades, editors may come to a consensus on the article's talk page regarding what image would best be suited for the infobox. An example of such a discussion can be found in the talk page archives for [[Elizabeth II]] (section [[Talk:Elizabeth II/Archive 45#Infobox photograph for after her death|Infobox photograph for after her death]]); in this instance, the 2015 photograph of Elizabeth II that was present in the article's infobox when discussions began was eventually replaced with a photograph of her taken in 1958.
=== Inline lists ===
{{Main|WP:Manual of Style/Lists#Horizontal lists|WP:Manual of Style/Lists#Unbulleted lists}}
Parameters with multiple values should be formatted with inline-list templates.
'''Horizontal''' ones include {{tlx|hlist}} or {{tlx|flatlist}}. In [[Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Lists#Horizontal lists|horizontal style]], only the first item is capitalized (aside from [[Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Capital letters#Proper names|proper names]]).
This style is best for short items, and few of them. Mid-dots, commas or semicolons are available as separators (use semicolons or mid-dots if any items contain their own commas). For example:
* {{para|parameter_name|{{tlp|hlist |Foo |bar |baz}}}} → {{hlist |Foo |bar |baz}}
* {{para|parameter_name|{{tlp|cslist |Foo |bar |baz}}}} → {{cslist |Foo |bar |baz}}
* {{para|parameter_name|{{tlp|cslist |Foo, fee |bar, bor |baz, biz |semi=true}}}} → {{cslist |Foo, fee |bar, bor |baz, biz |semi=true}}
Horizontal list example with {{tlx|hlist|Item one|item two|item three}}: {{hlist|Item one|item two|item three}}
'''Vertical''' templates are {{tlx|plainlist}} and {{tlx|unbulleted list}} (vertical), use [[Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Lists#Unbulleted lists|unbulleted, non-indented lists]] for clean display in infoboxes. Entries may be all [[sentence case]], or all lowercase (aside from proper names) after the first.
This style is best for long items, and longer lists. For long lists of information that may not be of immediate interest but retained for reference, the {{tlx|collapsible list}} template can be used; this is not a universally accessible option, so should not be used for key information.
''[[Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Lists#Line breaks|Do not use {{tag|br|s}} markup]]'' to create fake lists, as in: {{!mxt|<nowiki>Item one<br />item two<br />item three</nowiki>}}.
Vertical list example:, using {{tlx|unbulleted list|Item one|item two|item three}}:
{{unbulleted list|Item one|item two|item three}}

<!-- EDIT TEMPLATE DOCUMENTATION BELOW THIS LINE -->
{{tl|Infobox person}} may be used to summarize information about a particular person, usually at the top of an article.
== Redirects and calls ==
At least {{PAGESINCATEGORY:Templates calling Infobox person}} other [[:Category:Templates calling Infobox person|templates call this one]] and many templates {{Querylink|Special:WhatLinksHere/Template:Infobox_person|qs=namespace=10&hidetrans=1&hidelinks=1|redirect here}}.
== Modules ==
The following templates are suitable for use as a "module" in this one:
* Templates in [[:Category:Biographical templates usable as a module]]
* {{tl|Listen}}

== Parameters ==
{{notice|Do not use all these parameters for any one person. The list is long to cover a wide range of people. Use only those parameters that convey essential or notable information about the subject, and ensure that this information is sourced in the article or (if present only in the infobox) in the infobox itself.}}
Any parameters left blank or omitted will not be displayed. Many parameters have alternative names, implemented for compatibility with other templates (especially to aid merging). The preferred names are shown in the table below.
{| class="wikitable"
! Parameter
! Explanation
|-
| {{code|honorific_prefix}}
| To appear on the line above the person's name. This is for honorifics of serious significance that are attached to the name in formal address, such as knighthoods, "The Honourable", and "His/Her Excellency"; do not use it for routine things like "{{!mxt|[[Dr.]]}}" or "{{!mxt|[[Ms.]]}}"
|-
| {{code|name}}
| Common name of person (defaults to article name if left blank; provide {{para|birth_name}} (below) if different from {{para|name}}). If middle initials are specified (or implied) by the lead of the article, and are not specified separately in the {{para|birth_name}} parameter, include them here. ''Do not put honorifics or alternative names in this parameter.'' There are separate parameters for these things, covered below.
|-
| {{code|honorific_suffix}}
| To appear on the line below the person's name. This is for things like {{para|honorific_suffix|[[Officer of the Order of the British Empire|OBE]]}} – honorifics of serious significance that are attached to the name in formal address, such as national orders and non-honorary doctorates; do not use it for routine things like "{{!mxt|[[Bachelor of Arts|BA]]}}". It is permissible but not required to use the {{tlx|post-nominals}} template inside this parameter; doing so requires {{tlx|post-nominals|size{{=}}100%|...}}.
|-
| {{code|native_name}}
| The person's name in their own language, if different.
|-
| {{code|native_name_lang}}
| [[ISO 639-1]] code, e.g., "{{pval|fr}}" for French. If more than one, use {{tlx|lang}} around each name in {{para|native_name}} instead.
|-
| {{code|image}}
| Image name: {{pval|abc.jpg}}, {{pval|xpz.png}}, {{pval|123.gif}}, etc., without the {{code|File:}} or {{code|Image:}} prefix. If an image is desired but not available, one may add {{pval|yes}} to the {{para|needs-photo}} parameter of the {{tlx|WikiProject Biography}} template on the talk page. If no image is available yet, [[Wikipedia:Centralized discussion/Image placeholders|do not use an image placeholder]]. See [[#Image]] for further guidelines.
|-
| {{code|image_upright}}
| Scales the image thumbnail from its default size by the given factor. Values less than 1 scale the image down (0.9 = 90%) and values greater than 1 scale the image up (1.15 = 115%).
|-
| {{code|landscape}}
| Set to <code>yes</code> when using wide, short images. The image height (rather than width) will be limited to 200 pixels.
|-
| {{code|alt}}
| Descriptive [[Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Accessibility/Alternative text for images|{{code|alt}} text for the image]], for visually impaired readers. One word (such as {{pval|photograph}}) is rarely sufficient. Do not copy-paste the value of {{para|caption}} (below) into this parameter. Example of the difference: "Willie Nelson at a concert in Dallas, 1989" is good as {{para|caption}} value; "Nelson in western-wear with an acoustic guitar, on stage in a daytime show with band in background" is an {{para|alt}} description. If nothing meaningful can be said that isn't already in the caption, use the [[Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Accessibility/Alternative text for images#Captions and nearby text|stock text]] {{para|alt|refer to caption}}.
|-
| {{code|caption}}
| Caption for image, if needed. Try to include the date of photo, some context (check the <code>File:</code> or [[Wikimedia Commons|Commons]] page for the image). Image credit should generally not be included per [[MOS:CREDITS]].
|-
| {{code|pronunciation}}
| Details of how to pronounce the individual's native name. <!--copied from TemplateData description, if changed please update there also-->
|-
| {{code|birth_name}}
| Name at birth; use only if different from {{para|name}}.
|-
| {{code|birth_date}}
| Date of birth: Use {{tlx|birth date and age}} (if living) or {{tlx|birth date}} (if dead). {{crossref|See template's page for details on usage.}} If only a year of birth is known, or age as of a certain date, consider using {{tlx|birth year and age}} or {{tlx|birth based on age as of date}}. For living people [[Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons#Privacy of personal information and using primary sources|supply only the year unless the exact date is already widely published]]. Treat such cases as if only the year is known, so use {{tlx|birth year and age}} or a similar option. The templates mentioned in this paragraph emit metadata indicating the date is in the Gregorian calendar; if the date is in the Julian calendar, do not use these templates, just write the date.
|- id="birth_place"
| {{code|birth_place}}
| Place of birth: {{var|city}}, {{var|administrative region}}, {{var|country}}.
* Use the name of the birthplace at the time of birth, e.g.: {{pval|Saigon}} (prior to 1976) or {{pval|Ho Chi Minh City}} (post-1976).
* [[Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Icons#Do not use flags to indicate locations of birth, residence, or death|Do not use a flag template]], coat of arms, or other icon.
* [[Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Infoboxes#Purpose|Omit unnecessary or redundant details]]. For example, it is not necessary to state: {{!xt|{{pval|New York City, [[New York (state)|New York]], United States}}}} when {{xt|{{pval|New York City, U.S.}}}} conveys essentially the same information more concisely.
* Country name should be visible (not just in a link target). Well-known countries [[Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Linking#What generally should not be linked|should generally not be linked]], but historical and less-well-known countries can be.
* For modern subjects, the country should generally be a sovereign state; for United Kingdom locations, the constituent [[Countries of the United Kingdom|countries of the UK]] are sometimes used instead, when more appropriate in the context.
* For historical subjects, use the place name most appropriate for the context and our readership.
* Historical sovereign should be clear from the place of birth, as this determines nationality and citizenship. {{xt|Porbandar, Kathiawar Agency, British India}}; {{xt|San Juan, Puerto Rico, Spanish Empire}}
* For subsequent places (of death, etc.) it is not necessary to repeat jurisdictional details or links for the same place name.
* Follow [[MOS:USA]], e.g. "US" instead of "USA"
* When clarifying for historical reasons ("then a part of X" or "now in X"), follow [[MOS:GEOLINK]].
|-
| {{code|baptised}}<br/>or {{code|baptized}}
| Date of baptism: {{em|Only}} for use when birth date is not known (e.g., for [[Ludwig van Beethoven]]). Will not display if a birth date is entered. Do not use subtemplates. Parameter <code>baptized</code> can be used for articles that use American English spelling.
|-
| {{code|disappeared_date}}
| (For missing people) Date of disappearance: Use {{tlx|disappeared date and age}} (if birth date is known) or {{tlx|disappeared date}} (if birth date unknown).
|-
| {{code|disappeared_place}}
| (For missing people) Place of disappearance: {{var|city}}, {{var|administrative region}}, {{var|country}}. <!--This space is needed for readability, due to quirk of these templated elements being in proximity.--> ({{crossref|See {{para|birth_place}}, [[#birth place|above]], for instructions on how to use this parameter}}, including: no flag templates, inappropriate linking, redundancy, anachronisms, "country" definitions, etc.)
|-
| {{code|disappeared_status}}
| (For missing people) Current status for the person, e.g., if the person is still regarded as missing (using {{tlx|missing for}} to calculate the time since disappearance), or if the person has been [[Declared death in absentia|declared dead ''{{lang|la|in absentia}}'']], with a date for such a ruling.
|-
| {{code|death_date}}
| Date of death: Use {{tlx|death date and age}} (if birth date is known) or {{tlx|death date}} (if birth date unknown). {{crossref|See template's page for details on usage.}} If exact dates are unknown, consider using {{tlx|death year and age}}. The templates mentioned in this paragraph emit metadata indicating the date is in the Gregorian calendar; if the date is in the Julian calendar, do not use these templates, just write the date.
|-
| {{code|death_place}}
| Place of death: {{var|city}}, {{var|administrative region}}, {{var|country}}. ({{crossref|See {{para|birth_place}}, [[#birth place|above]], for instructions on how to use this parameter}}, including: no flag templates, inappropriate linking, redundancy, anachronisms, "country" definitions, etc.)
|-
| {{code|death_cause}}
| Cause of death. Should be clearly defined and sourced, and should only be included when the cause of death has significance for the subject's notability, e.g. [[James Dean]], [[John Lennon]]. It should not be filled in for unremarkable deaths such as those from old age or routine illness, e.g. [[Bruce Forsyth]], [[Eduard Khil]].
|-
| {{code|body_discovered}}
| Place where the body was discovered (if different from place of death). {{var|city}}, {{var|administrative region}}, {{var|country}}. ({{crossref|See {{para|birth_place}}, [[#birth place|above]], for instructions on how to use this parameter}}, including: no flag templates, inappropriate linking, redundancy, anachronisms, "country" definitions, etc.)
|-
| {{code|burial_place}}
| Place of burial {{var|city}}, {{var|administrative region}}, {{var|country}}. ({{crossref|See {{para|birth_place}}, [[#birth place|above]], for instructions on how to use this parameter}}, including: no flag templates, inappropriate linking, redundancy, anachronisms, "country" definitions, etc. {{crossref|See {{para|resting_place}} for non-burials}}.)
|-
| {{code|burial_coordinates}}
| Coordinates for place of burial, to accompany {{para|burial_place}}. Use {{tlx|coord}} template.
|-
| {{code|resting_place}}
| Location of columbarium, ash-scattering, etc. If no location, leave blank. {{var|city}}, {{var|administrative region}}, {{var|country}}. ({{crossref|See {{para|birth_place}}, [[#birth place|above]], for instructions on how to use this parameter}}, including: no flag templates, inappropriate linking, redundancy, anachronisms, "country" definitions, etc.)
|-
| {{code|resting_place_coordinates}}
| Coordinates for location of columbarium, ash-scattering etc. Use {{tlx|coord}} template.
|-
| {{code|monuments}}
| Significant monuments erected, buildings named, etc., in honour of the subject. If many, link to an appropriate section of the article instead.
|-
| {{code|other_names}}
| Other notable names for the person, if different from {{para|name}} and {{para|birth_name}}. [[Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Biographies#Pseudonyms|This can include]] stage names, maiden/married names, nicknames, criminal aliases, etc.
|-
| {{code|siglum}}
| [[Siglum]] or monogram, a text shortcut (often formed from the initials of the name, with variations) used to sign work, if relevant.
|-
| {{code|citizenship}}
| Country of legal citizenship. Rarely needed - omit if the same as birth country. See [[WP:INFONAT]] for detailed guidelines. {{crossref|Also see {{para|birth_place}}, [[#birth place|above]], for instructions on how to use this parameter}}, including: no flag templates, inappropriate linking, anachronisms, "country" definitions, etc.
|-
| {{code|education}}
| Include subject's educational credentials, typically university degrees. List the full article title of each degree-granting parent institution, followed by degree(s) earned in parentheses, e.g. an alumnus of [[Harvard College]], [[Harvard Law School]], and the [[Kellogg School of Management]] would be listed as: <br>
[[Harvard University]] (BA, JD) <br>
[[Northwestern University]] (MBA) <br><br> If insufficient information is available to determine specific credentials attained, the 'alma_mater' parameter may be more appropriate.
|-
| {{code|alma_mater}}
| ''[[Alma mater]]''. This parameter is a more concise alternative to (not addition to) {{para|education}}, and will often consist of the linked name of the last-attended institution of higher education (not secondary schools). It is usually not relevant to include either parameter for non-graduates, but article talk page consensus may conclude otherwise, as perhaps at [[Bill Gates]].
|-
| {{code|occupation}}
| Occupation(s) as given in the lead. Use list markup for three or more entries, e.g. with {{tlx|flatlist}}. Please observe [[sentence case]] and capitalise only the first letter of the first item; e.g.:
{{block indent|1={{Flatlist|
* Musician
* singer-songwriter
* actor
}}}}
|-
| {{code|years_active}}
| Date range in years during which the subject was active in their principal occupation(s) and/or other activity for which they are notable. Use the format {{code|1950–2000}}, or {{code|1970–present}} if still active. [[Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Dates and numbers#Ranges|Date ranges]] always use an [[Wikipedia:Manual of Style#En dashes|en dash]], not hyphen. If no dates of birth and/or death are known for the subject, only a ''[[floruit]]'' date range, as is common with ancient subjects, this parameter can be used for it. If approximate (''[[wikt:circa#English|circa]]'') dates are known for either or both, put them in the {{para|birth_date}} and {{para|death_date}} parameters. Helpful templates: {{tlx|floruit}}, {{tlx|circa}}.

|-
| {{code|footnotes}}
| Textual notes about any of the infobox data. This is not for reference citations. If an infobox parameter's value needs a citation, [[Wikipedia:Citing sources|cite inline]] at the end of the value. Citations will appear in the article's references section along with the other citations in the article.
|-
| {{code|image_size}}
| {{strongbad|Deprecated}}. Size to display image: {{pval|200px}} (set width), {{pval|x300px}} (set height), or {{pval|200x300px}} (max width & max height). If empty or omitted, this defaults to {{samp|frameless}} (default is {{samp|220px}}, but logged-in users can change this by clicking on "my preferences" and adjusting thumbnail size). [[Wikipedia:Image use policy#Displayed image size|Use of this parameter is discouraged]]. Use {{para|image_upright}} instead. Do not use "{{!mxt|×}}" or capital "{{!mxt|X}}"
|-
| {{code|template_name}}
| '''This parameter should not be used in articles.''' It allows other templates to specify a template name such as ''Infobox architect'' for parameter tracking categories, like [[:Category:Pages using infobox architect with unknown parameters]] instead of [[:Category:Pages using infobox person with unknown parameters]]. The parameter is found in templates which use [[Template:Infobox person]] via [[Module:Template wrapper]], see [[:Category:Templates calling Infobox person]].
|}
=== Additional parameter usage explanation ===
==== Image ====
The image in the infobox should be representative of the person who is the subject of the article. For some historical figures, particularly those born in the 18th century or before, this image is often a painting or other artistic depiction of the individual (see [[George Washington]]). Persons born in the 20th century onward, such as [[Barack Obama]], are most often represented by a photograph of the individual.
When the subject of a biographical article has recently died, particularly those who have been publicly known for decades, editors may come to a consensus on the article's talk page regarding what image would best be suited for the infobox. An example of such a discussion can be found in the talk page archives for [[Elizabeth II]] (section [[Talk:Elizabeth II/Archive 45#Infobox photograph for after her death|Infobox photograph for after her death]]); in this instance, the 2015 photograph of Elizabeth II that was present in the article's infobox when discussions began was eventually replaced with a photograph of her taken in 1958.
=== Inline lists ===
{{Main|WP:Manual of Style/Lists#Horizontal lists|WP:Manual of Style/Lists#Unbulleted lists}}
Parameters with multiple values should be formatted with inline-list templates.
'''Horizontal''' ones include {{tlx|hlist}} or {{tlx|flatlist}}. In [[Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Lists#Horizontal lists|horizontal style]], only the first item is capitalized (aside from [[Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Capital letters#Proper names|proper names]]).
This style is best for short items, and few of them. Mid-dots, commas or semicolons are available as separators (use semicolons or mid-dots if any items contain their own commas). For example:
* {{para|parameter_name|{{tlp|hlist |Foo |bar |baz}}}} → {{hlist |Foo |bar |baz}}
* {{para|parameter_name|{{tlp|cslist |Foo |bar |baz}}}} → {{cslist |Foo |bar |baz}}
* {{para|parameter_name|{{tlp|cslist |Foo, fee |bar, bor |baz, biz |semi=true}}}} → {{cslist |Foo, fee |bar, bor |baz, biz |semi=true}}
Horizontal list example with {{tlx|hlist|Item one|item two|item three}}: {{hlist|Item one|item two|item three}}
'''Vertical''' templates are {{tlx|plainlist}} and {{tlx|unbulleted list}} (vertical), use [[Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Lists#Unbulleted lists|unbulleted, non-indented lists]] for clean display in infoboxes. Entries may be all [[sentence case]], or all lowercase (aside from proper names) after the first.
This style is best for long items, and longer lists. For long lists of information that may not be of immediate interest but retained for reference, the {{tlx|collapsible list}} template can be used; this is not a universally accessible option, so should not be used for key information.
''[[Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Lists#Line breaks|Do not use {{tag|br|s}} markup]]'' to create fake lists, as in: {{!mxt|<nowiki>Item one<br />item two<br />item three</nowiki>}}.
Vertical list example:, using {{tlx|unbulleted list|Item one|item two|item three}}:
{{unbulleted list|Item one|item two|item three}}

कवनो नदी घाटी के विकास कई कारकन से प्रभावित होला। एहमें प्रमुख रूप से ओह बेडरॉक भा जलोढ़ निक्षेप (एल्यूवियम) के सोभाव सामिल बा, जवना पर नदी भा धारा बहत होखे, घाटी के ऊपरी आ निचला भाग के बीच के ऊँचाई के अंतर, आ लोकल जलवायु। आमतौर पर नदी के बहाव नीचे की ओर बढ़त जाला, जबकि ओकर ढाल (ग्रेडिएंट) धीरे-धीरे कम होत जाला। घाटी के ऊपरी भाग में नदी अपना तली के अधिक प्रभावी ढंग से अपघर्षण (कोर्रेशन) द्वारा काटेला, जवना से खड़ी ढाल वाला ''[[वी-आकार के घाटी]]'' के निर्माण होला। अगर रस्ता में अधिक कठोर शैल-स्तर, भूवैज्ञानिक भ्रंश (फॉल्ट), दरार (फ्रैक्चर) भा वलन (फोल्ड) मौजूद होखे, त ई सभ नदी के मार्ग के प्रभावित कर सकेला। एह कारण नदी के मार्ग घुमावदार हो सकेला आ घाटी में अंतःस्थापित अंतरीप (इंटरलॉकिंग स्पर) जइसन स्थलाकृति विकसित हो सकेली।

{{tl|Hsp}} produces the [[Unicode]] character {{unichar|200a|hair space|html=|nlink=}}, a space character that is slightly thinner than the “[[thin space]]” character (see below and [[Whitespace character]]). It is forced to be non-breaking, since this is the desired behavior in most uses of this template. If a parameter is supplied, it is sandwiched on both sides with hair space characters (only the first is non-breaking).
