Template:Dummy backlink

^{^}

Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

Usage[edit]

This template replicates the backlink rendered in the reference list when using Cite Footnotes.

For a single backlink, use the default {{dummy backlink}}:

^{^}

For multiple backlinks, simply add the values; for example {{dummy backlink|a b}} renders as:

^ ^{a b}

When using multiple backlinks, add a space between each. Although any value can be entered for the backlink label, only lower-alpha characters are valid.

To show the reference numbers, use the # markup:

Markup	Renders as
# {{dummy backlink\|a b}} # {{dummy backlink}} # {{dummy backlink\|a b c}}	^ ^{a b} ^{^} ^ ^{a b c}

The default backlink character is an up arrow ↑, but the English Wikipedia has been customized to use the caret ^. The up arrow is used on many other language versions of Wikipedia. To show the up arrow set |default=yes:

Markup	Renders as
{{dummy backlink\|default=yes}}	^↑
