User:Pengo/pageusingref

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is an example of how <ref> tags don't work[1] inside templates.

Here's a Thingy[2] with its <ref> tag within a template..

This reference[3] works, but the one in the template (above) doesn't.

References

[edit]
  1. ^ this is the first reference
  2. ^ this is a {{{1}}} reference
  3. ^ This should be the third reference, but is numbered 2
note that #3 is missing here. It is defined in the template {{User:Pengo/mytemplatewitharef}}

Bug reports

[edit]

Some words from Brion on the topic:

  • that likely will never "work" the way you want with the current parser.
  • we cannot guarantee that they will be parsed in the order you want.
