{{tl|efn}} is used, together with {{tl|notelist}}, to create explanatory notes.

==Usage==
<code><nowiki>{{efn|</nowiki>''Footnote text''<nowiki>}}</nowiki></code>

<code><nowiki>{{efn|name=</nowiki>''footnote name''<nowiki>|</nowiki>''Footnote text''<nowiki>}}</nowiki></code>

'''{{Para|name}}''' Sets a standard reference name per [[WP:NAMEDREFS]]. The [[WP:REFGROUP|group name]] is always set to ''lower-alpha'', thus the link labels are styled as lowercase Latin letters. However, this is not required because identical footnote markers are automatically identified and consolidated into a single footnote.

Remember that "=" cannot appear in an unnamed template parameter and "|" cannot appear in any template parameter. For "|", {{tl|!}} can be used. For "=", {{tl|{{=}}}} can be used or the parameter can be named 1= explicitly:

: <code><nowiki>{{efn|1=Converting at a rate of Kr&nbsp;20&nbsp;=&nbsp;£1.}}</nowiki></code>

==Examples==
Using full citations in footnotes:

{{markup|<nowiki>
Some information.<ref name=Smith2009>{{cite book|last=Smith|year=2009|title=Smith's book}}</ref> More information.{{efn|A clarification.<ref name=Smith2009/>}}

==Notes==
{{notelist}}

==References==
{{reflist}}

</nowiki>|

Some information.<ref name=Smith2009>{{cite book|last=Smith|year=2009|title=Smith's book}}</ref> More information.{{efn|A clarification.<ref name=Smith2009/>}}

{{fake heading|Notes}}
{{reflist|group=lower-alpha|close=1}}<!-- Notelist does not support "close"; nor should it, outside of doc pages-->

{{fake heading|References}}
<references />
}}

Using {{sfnote}}:

{{markup|<nowiki>
Some information.{{sfn|Smith|2010|p=1}} More information.{{efn|A clarification.{{sfn|Smith|2010|p=2}}}}

==Notes==
{{notelist}}

==Citations==
{{reflist}}

==References==
* {{citation|last=Smith|year=2010|title=Smith's book}}
</nowiki>|

Some information.{{sfn|Smith|2010|p=1}} More information.{{efn|A clarification.{{sfn|Smith|2010|p=2}}}}

{{fake heading|Notes}}
{{reflist|group=lower-alpha|close=1}}<!-- Notelist does not support "close"; nor should it, outside of doc pages-->

{{fake heading|Citations}}
{{reflist|close=1}}

{{fake heading|References}}
* {{citation|last=Smith|year=2010|title=Smith's book}}
}}

You can create multiple explanatory lists by closing {{tl|notelist}}. This is useful when adding sources to elements such as multiple tables.
{{markup
|<nowiki>Some information.<ref name=Smith2009>{{cite book|last=Smith|year=2009|title=Smith's book}}</ref> More information.{{efn|A clarification.<ref name=Smith2009/>}}

==Notes==
{{notelist|close}}

Some more information.<ref name=Smith2009>{{cite book|last=Smith|year=2009|title=Smith's book}}</ref> More information.{{efn|A further clarification.<ref name=Smith2009/>}}

==Notes==
{{notelist|close}}

==References==
{{reflist}}</nowiki>
|Some information.<ref name=Smith2009>{{cite book|last=Smith|year=2009|title=Smith's book}}</ref> More information.{{efn|A clarification.<ref name=Smith2009/>}}

{{fake heading|Notes}}
{{notelist|close}}

Some more information.<ref name=Smith2009>{{cite book|last=Smith|year=2009|title=Smith's book}}</ref> More information.{{efn|A  further clarification.<ref name=Smith2009/>}}

{{fake heading|Notes}}
{{notelist|close}}

{{fake heading|References}}
{{reflist}}
}}

==Example articles==
* [[Logic theorist]] (a short article showing basic usage)
* [[Chinese room]] (a long and complex article which uses all the features: named footnotes, list defined notes, etc.)
* [[Empire of Brazil]]
* [[John Diefenbaker]] (w/name= && note in {notelist})
