Usage

This message should be placed only on article talk pages at the head of the talk page with other notices for articles which appear to follow the particular shortened footnote style. If there is some question about the style intended for the article, instead use the inquiry template {{Note short footnote style 1}} to confirm that style 1 is what contributors have chosen.

To use this template, add this code to an article’s talk page:

{{Note short footnote style 1 in use|sources}}

Where sources is the name of the section or sections where full citations are listed. The default is Cited works.

Example

{{Note short footnote style 1 in use|sources=Cited sources}}

This produces:

This article uses shortened footnotes to avoid duplication of information for unique though largely identical footnotes. In cases where footnotes refer to the same source but different pages, the full citation is placed in the Cited sources section and a short footnote with page number is used next to the passage to be footnoted.

Further information

Per Wikipedia:Citing sources, please continue to maintain the same style of use when adding citations using the {{sfn}}, {{harvnb}} and <ref> syntax. Footnotes will be altered to fit this article's style if they do not conform to the following rule: If a source has multiple footnotes to different pages or footnotes to the same source are unique in other ways such as due to quotations or annotations specific to a particular footnote, then the full citation for the source is to be included in the Cited sources section, and use Template:sfn or similar template to make the footnote to the particular page, or indicate the quotation, annotation or other unique information particular to the footnote. See the article for usage examples. If you have any problems, please ask on the talk page and someone will be happy to help you. Thank you.

The article is added to the hidden maintenance category Category:Articles with notice for sfn style 1 for tracking purposes.
