Intent

Provides a compact shorthand for <ref name="RefName" /> citation tags, simplifying syntax so cutting code clutter.[note 1]

For example:

Using <ref> For example, fact<ref name=RefName/><ref name=Bam/><ref name=Bar/> and fact.<ref name=Bas/><ref name=Bay/><ref name=Baz/>

Displays as: For example, fact[1][2][3] and fact.[4][5][6]

Instead using {{r}} For example, fact{{r|RefName|Bam|Bar}} and fact.{{r|Bas|Bay|Baz}}

Displays as: For example, fact[1][2][3] and fact.[4][5][6]

{{r}} and <ref> can coexist on the same page, and like <ref>, {{r}} can be used with or without list-defined references. In addition, a |page= or |p= parameter adds the functionality of {{rp}}:

Using {{r}} with
|p= parameter 		For example, fact.{{r|RefName|p=22}}

Displays as: For example, fact.[1]:22

Usage

Usage Display Notes
{{r|RefName}} Text.[1] Equivalent to <ref name="RefName" />.
{{r|RefName|p=100}}

{{r|RefName|pp=100}}

{{r|RefName|page=100}}

{{r|RefName|pages=100}}

Text.[1]:100 Adds a page number (or other location identifier) within the source.

The |p=, |pp=, |page=, and |pages= parameters are equivalent.

If the article cites only one location in a given source, reduce clutter by coding simply {{r|RefName}} and integrating the location into the main RefName citation.

{{r|RefName|p=10–14}}

{{r|RefName|pp=3, 6}}

{{r|RefName|page=§C}}

{{r|RefName|pages=Dust jacket}}

{{r|RefName|pages=para. 7}}

Text.[1]:10–14

Text.[1]:3, 6

Text.[1]:§C

Text.[1]:Dust jacket

Text.[1]:para. 7

{{r|RefName|Bam|Bar}} Text.[1][2][3] Equivalent to {{r|RefName}}{{r|Bam}}{{r|Bar}} or <ref name=RefName/><ref name=Bam/><ref name=Bar/>.

Up to nine references may be "bundled" this way.

{{r|1=RefName|2=Bam|3=Bar|4=Bas|p1=100|p2=10–14|p4=§C}}

{{r|1=RefName|p1=100|2=Bam|p2=10–14|3=Bar|4=Bas|p4=§C}}

Text.[1]:100[2]:10–14[3][4]:§C Equivalent to {{r|RefName|p=100}}{{r|Bam|p=10–14}}{{r|Bar}}{{r|Bas|p=§C}}.

In the example, not all references have pages; make sure that e.g. |1= matches |p1=

{{r|group=Notes|NtName}}

{{r|grp=Notes|NtName|NtCam}}

{{r|g=Notes|NtName|p=13}}

Text.[Notes 1]

Text.[Notes 1][Notes 2]

Text.[Notes 1]:13

The |group=, |grp=, and |g= parameters are equivalent and echo <ref group=Notes name=NtName/>.

If present, the parameter applies to all references in the template.

{{r|RefName|p=100|q=quote from the text}}

{{r|RefName|p=100|quote=quote from the text}}

Text.[1]:100 Makes sense only if |p= (or one of its synonyms) is present. |quote= (or |q=) underlines the superscript page number/​location identifier, signaling availability of a quote from the source, which pops up when the mouse is hovered over the underlined bit.
{{r|1=RefName|2=Bam|3=Bar|4=Bas|p1=100|p2=10–14|p4=§C|q1=Quote from 100|q4=Quote from §C}} Text.[1]:100[2]:10–14[3][4]:§C In the example, not all references have quotes; make sure that e.g. |1= and |p1= and |q1= all match.

The ref names may be defined within a {{reflist}} (as illustrated below) or (in the more usual way) scattered throughout the article text using e.g. <ref name=RefName>Reference text</ref> or {{refn|name=RefName|Reference text}}. 

===References===
{{reflist|refs=
<ref name=RefName>Reference text.</ref>
<ref name=Bam>Bam reference text.</ref>
<ref name=Bar>Bar reference text.</ref>
<ref name=Bas>Bas reference text.</ref>
<ref name=Bay>Bay reference text.</ref>
<ref name=Baz>Baz reference text.</ref>
}}

===Notes===
{{reflist|group=Notes|refs=
<ref name=NtName>Note text.</ref>
<ref name=NtCam>Cam note text.</ref>
}}

TemplateData

This is the TemplateData documentation for this template used by VisualEditor and other tools; see the monthly parameter usage report for this template.

TemplateData for R

Provides a simple wrapper for up to nine consecutive <ref name=RefName/> citation tags that minimizes visual impact on the text which, along with the simpler syntax, increases code readability and ease of editing.
