Template talk:Cnote2

Multiple targets
Currently the template system only allows a one directional flow from either the inline template to the footnote, or from the footnote to the inline template. The &lt;reference /> tag allows for the footnote to flow to multiple inline templates. This can be done here as well, with a few more parse functions. I'm planning on adding a second parameter in the Cref2 template to allow the editors to assign a custom "id" to that specific inline note, and a for the Cnote2 template to be able to target multiple inline notes.

Something wrong when n > 2?
Please take a look at the article Enlargement of the United Nations. When n=3, it gives me 4 back links, and when n=4, the back links don't get displayed. Chanheigeorge (talk) 09:24, 9 September 2009 (UTC) Discussion copied and paste from


 * Sorry, was on wikibreak, it should be fixed now. If the changes are not immediately apparent, please remember to purge the page cache. If an error remains, I'm interested. Also, added a new feature, value= to allow you to for example change the sequence of the list. For example, by default it'll go 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. If you apply the value=4 on the third item, it'll then count 1, 2, 4, 5, 6. Thanks for the note. :) ChyranandChloe (talk) 23:38, 19 September 2009 (UTC)


 * Thanks for your fix! But I notice that every note now becomes "A" at the Notes section. Chanheigeorge (talk) 05:10, 20 September 2009 (UTC)


 * I'm not sure I understand, 'every note now becomes "A"'? It looks like it works to me. ChyranandChloe (talk) 05:17, 20 September 2009 (UTC)


 * Every note now becomes "A. ...". Chanheigeorge (talk) 05:22, 20 September 2009 (UTC)


 * Internet explorer. Shakes head. It's the value attribute, even though it's passing, well... nothing, IE "assumes" I want the value 1, which well starts every list at one or as you can see A (see docs about the value parameter). I use Google Chrome, so I didn't notice it. I'll get it fixed. Thanks. ChyranandChloe (talk) 05:31, 20 September 2009 (UTC)


 * It should be fixed now. Please remember to refresh the page cache. Sigh. ChyranandChloe (talk) 05:39, 20 September 2009 (UTC)

Is this a typo?
Written in the second example of the Parameters section is the following:

If there are more than one Cref2 that needs to link to the "N" Cnote2, apply the second "occurrence" parameter.

first occurrence second occurrence first occurrence second occurrence

But the second occurrence has a "2" placed in the third parameter; this is confusing me. Shouldn't it read, not  ? –  Ker αun oςc op ia◁ galaxies 16:29, 9 February 2010 (UTC)


 * You're right, should go in second, typo, fixed, thanks! ChyranandChloe (talk) 23:23, 9 February 2010 (UTC)

Liststyles no longer work?
I could've sworn the default liststyle was "upper-alpha." I was just brushing up on this template and I see that all the examples are bulleted, even when the liststyle in Cnote2 Begin specifies otherwise. Am I missing something? It's been a while since I've used this. –  Ker αun oςc op ia◁ galaxies 18:43, 2 May 2010 (UTC)
 * See, TheDJ was trying to make it merge-able with refbegin and therefore removed the &lt;ol> tag because he thought it would be redundant. It would be if you used like  , and used the wikicode   instead of the correct  . It should be fixed now. 198.60.5.253 (talk) 17:40, 26 June 2010 (UTC)

Problem with links to Google Books?
It seems that Cnote2 texts containing links to Google Books like this one don't work. They produce a message "parameter "2", text parameter, is empty". Am I right? And rew D alby 18:12, 6 July 2010 (UTC)
 * It's because of the equal signs and there are two ways to fix this. The first is to place a "2= ..." following the vertical bar separating the first and second parameter, for example do this " " instead of " ;" the documentation briefly goes over this. The second is to replace all equal signs with " ," for example " ." Give these examples a try in the sandbox. I hope this helps. 67.190.48.91 (talk) 07:39, 10 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks very much for your answer. I'm glad I didn't experiment before asking, because my guess was that the question mark was the problem, so I'd have wasted my time ... And rew D[[User:Andrew Dalby/Bibliography| alby] ] 09:05, 10 July 2010 (UTC)

references-small
This template uses to set the font to 90%. The  class was deleted on 10 December 2010, which means the small font has not been applied for almost five years. We need to either remove the class to keep the normal font or change it to  to set it to 90%. --  Gadget850talk 01:25, 4 May 2015 (UTC)

Text error
Check the page, it has this (^ parameter "2", text parameter, is empty.) at the beginning, the same problem is witnessed for the same article in different languages! MM 9004 (talk) 19:55, 6 August 2017 (UTC)

Merge discussion
I have nominated this for TfD. Adding  would be appreciated.
