• curprev 00:3900:39, 7 January 2024‎ Rjjiii talk contribs‎ 30,326 bytes +1,477‎ Okay, I've tried to lead off with a best practices example similar to what I see in the template documentation and representative of common usage. It is the same as the second example, but uses the efn and sfn templates. The "mixed" example has been moved down to spot 3. It uses the most basic syntax and is very similar to what the page originally contained. This creates a transition of more common and template-based examples to less so, similar to the top of the page.

If template:efn is used for this note, it will be caught by template:notelist in an example. Using template:efn-lr correctly places it in template:notelist-lr in the "Notes" section.
