- I took a quick look at Chauhan Victoria Vada. See WP:CITE, particularly WP:CITE#Footnotes. That ought to do it. Wtmitchell (talk) (earlier Boracay Bill) 12:27, 14 September 2020 (UTC)
ARIA Music Awards
As a long-term wp editor I have not got my head around list defined references. However, I have used cluster references. At the article ARIA Music Awards there is a section Most awards/nominations with a table showing 41 artists with six or more award wins. In the refs column are the cluster refs, which have from two sub refs up to 30. Many of these sub refs are repeated again and again down the table. Consequently the article has a huge clutter of cluster refs. This was pointed out at the Teahouse by @Didier Landner:: to try to find an easier way to do this.
I need help to display the references per artist but reduce the enormous clutter that has resulted by adding another cluster each time an artist qualifies with six or more wins or by updating existing clusters each year that an artist gets nominated/wins.shaidar cuebiyar (talk) 23:42, 9 December 2020 (UTC)23:44, 9 December 2020 (UTC)
- It is now over 3 months since I made the above request for help and I have received no response. Is there some other place I could go to get assistance?shaidar cuebiyar (talk) 02:26, 17 March 2021 (UTC)
Why can't I see my notes?
Stuff like this."[a]" Whenever I hover over, or even click on it, I can't see it, until I scroll down. Why? The Unknown Editor... (talk) 01:02, 23 May 2021 (UTC)
- Probably because there is no
{{notelist}}
. Are you asking about a specific page (other than this one)? --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 20:50, 23 May 2021 (UTC)

Could somebody give me an example of referencing an efn, please?
Could somebody give me an example of referencing an efn, please?
Specifically in Nicolaus Copernicus I've had to change an efn to a refn so that I could re-use the footnote (that's footnote n 1), which looks untidy,etc. Our text here says this should not have been necessary as name and group parameters work with efn just as with ref. But it gives no actual example, and as a result I have wasted much time trying and failing to get it to work. Once an example has been given and found to work, we can presumably then add it into our Help article here as well, thereby also improving this article. Thanks in advance.

- @Tlhslobus: I'm not quite sure what you're looking for but something like this? Citing an efn once[a] and citing the same efn a second time[a]?
- Umimmak (talk) 17:13, 7 June 2021 (UTC)
- Thanks, Umimmak. At first glance it looks like that should do the trick, tho I'll need to check it out and then get back if necessary, perhaps especially regarding then amending this Help page (particularly regarding whether using refs is necessary, as it isn't needed with refn).

- Template:Efn and Help:Footnotes have some discussion under the headings
With named references
andNamed references can also be defined in the notelist

- Thanks, that worked.
For some reason or other (perhaps they were below the bottom of my screen), I never saw the 3rd and 4th efn examples despite spending perhaps 30 minutes looking at the page, and I only saw: Cite error: There are <ref>
tags on this page without content in them (see the help page).
supports |name= and |group=, which work the same as the parameters in <ref>. Do not enclose values in quotes.
So I looked at the <ref> syntax and it is quite different from the efn syntax, tho it works for refn (the efn syntax also works for refn, but this is seemingly not mentioned, unless I have again somehow missed it).
The first issue is easily fixed by adding (see, for instance, the 3rd and 4th examples below), and I'll then try to work out what needs to be done about refn. Tlhslobus (talk) 18:29, 7 June 2021 (UTC)
- I've added "(see 3rd and 4th examples below)" but I think a couple of examples using groups might also help. But I'm a bit confused by things like "Wiki No include" etc, so I'm not going to add them today (and perhaps not at all, and the same goes for mentioning that the efn format also works with refn.
