Linking and footnote templates

Tags attached to links in text area:

• "{{ref}} example{{ref|reference1}}" — Links to a citation in the Reference section labeled "reference1".
• "Deprecated {{ref num}} example{{ref num|reference1|1}}" — Links to a citation in the Reference section labeled "reference1", but marked in the text with the number "1" instead of an automatically generated number. NOTE: {{ref num}} is deprecated. {{ref label}} should be used instead.
• "{{ref label}} example{{ref label|example.com|2|none}}" — Links to a citation in the Reference section labeled "example.com". Text is marked with the number "2".

For two links to the same footnote labeled "example.com", you would:

• "{{ref label}} example{{ref label|example.com|3|a}}"
• "{{ref label}} example{{ref label|example.com|3|b}}"
• "{{ref label}} example{{ref label|nextexample.com|4|4}}"
• "{{ref harvard}} example {{ref harvard|lastexample.com|Jones 1999|none}}" — Links to a citation in the Reference section labeled "lastexample.comnone", and marked in the text with (Jones 1999).
• "{{ref harv}} example {{ref harv|lastexample.com|Jones 1999|none}}" — Links to a citation in the Reference section labeled "lastexample.comnone", and marked in the text with ^{(Jones 1999)}.
• "{{ref harvard}} example {{ref harvard|finalexample.com|Smith 2000|a}}(a)"
• "{{ref harv}} example {{ref harv|finalexample.com|Smith 2000|a}}(a)"
• "{{ref harvard}} example {{ref harvard|finalexample.com|Smith 2000|b}}(b)"
• "{{ref harv}} example {{ref harv|finalexample.com|Smith 2000|b}}(b)"

Tags attached to links in References or Footnote section:

"#{{note|reference1}} example of {{note}}" — In References section, citation labeled "reference1".

"#{{note label|example.com|2|none}}"— In References section, citation labeled "example.comnone". Creates backlink to matching {{ref label}} entry in the text labeled "example.comnone".

Now, if you have two links to the same footnote labeled "example.com", you would do:

"#{{note label|example.com|3|a}}{{note label|example.com|3|b}} example of {{note label}}"

"{{note label|nextexample.com|4|4}} example of {{note label}}"

• "{{note label|lastexample.com|Jones 1999|none}}Jones (1999) {{note label}}" -- Note that when the 3rd unnamed parameter is specified as "none", the ^ symbol is rendered for the backlink.
• "{{note label|finalexample.com|Smith 2000|a}}{{note label|finalexample.com|Smith 2000|b}}Smith (2000)"
