Regional teams have been replaced by county sides for the 2025 season onwards, so these current squads templates are obsolete given the teams no longer compete. The Blaze squad template has been left as they still compete in this new format. Rugbyfan22 (talk) 17:16, 10 May 2025 (UTC)
- Template:Wikicite (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
- Template:SfnRef inline (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
Propose merging Template:Wikicite with Template:SfnRef inline.
{{SfnRef inline}} and {{wikicite}} both allow the shortened footnotes created by Module:Footnotes to link to a full citation that is either handwritten or transcluding a template that does not yet create an anchor for short citations.
Wikicite can:
- Be placed after the full citation.
- Wrap around the full citation which creates popup tooltips on mouseover and highlights the full citation when clicked, similar to standard references.
SfnRef inline can:
- Be placed after the full citation.
I am proposing a merge rather than a redirect because SfnRef inline also:
- Has the more clear name and should likely be the post-merge title. Wikicite's partner template {{wikiref}}, was deleted 15 years ago because it was never widely used.
- Accepts the same numerical parameters as Module:Footnotes does in more common templates like {{sfn}}, {{harv}}, {{sfnp}}, and so on.
- Has more clear documentation.
Both templates have the same code in their sandbox and testcases. If you have a "harv" errors script installed, you should be able to quickly see the differences in anchor creation on the testcases below. If you don't have any error script for shortened footnotes, you'll need to click the links in the "Short citations for testing examples below" to see the difference.

- I don't think that placing either of these after the full citation can be correct. For accessibility reasons, if nothing else, the emitted anchor should really be before the citation; and that is what happens when
{{wikicite}}
uses its|reference=
parameter to enclose the full citation. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 14:13, 10 May 2025 (UTC)
