== Usage ==<br />
To be used to flag [[Template:Harvard citation documentation#Wikilink to citation does not work|broken footnotes]] with <code><nowiki>{{broken footnote}}</nowiki></code>. For instance<br />
<br />
{{quote|1=<br />
This is a sentence with a working footnote.{{sfn|Smith|2008}} This is another sentence, this one with a broken footnote.{{sfn|Smith|Hunter|2001}}{{broken footnote}} This is a third sentence, again with a broken footnote.{{sfn|Hunter|2016}}{{broken footnote}}<br />

*{{cite book |last=Smith |first=John |year=2008 |title=Book of Stuff |publisher=Foobar }}<br />
*{{cite book |last=Smith |first=John |last2=Hunter |first2=Sally |year=2010 |title=Another Book of Stuff |publisher=Foobar}}<br />
}}<br />
<br />
The cause of the issue can be varies. Often times, it will be due to<br />
*The authors or year are missing/mismatched, or the footnote template is wrongly used. For example, <code><nowiki>{{sfn|Smith & Hunter (2010)|p=12}}</nowiki></code> should (in most cases) be <code><nowiki>{{sfn|Smith|Hunter|2010|p=12}}</nowiki></code>. The exact syntax varies with the templates used, so some investigation might be required.<br />
*The full citation is completely missing<br />
