==Footnotes: groups==
{{shortcut|WP:REFGROUP|WP:CITELABEL}}

Sometimes it is useful to group the footnotes into separate lists, for example to separate explanatory notes from references, or to list references for tables, image captions, infoboxes and navboxes. The sequence of footnote labels is independent in each group.

The syntax to define a footnote with a group is:
:{{tag|ref|params=group=<var>groupname</var>|content=Content}}

If the footnote marker group name includes a space, the group name ''must'' be enclosed in quotes, else a cite error will occur. Otherwise, quotes are optional.

The syntax for the reference list with a group is:
:{{tlx|reflist|2=group=<var>groupname</var>}}
or:
:<nowiki><references group="</nowiki><var>groupname</var><nowiki>"></nowiki>

Example:
{{markup
|<nowiki>This part of the text requires clarification,<ref group=note>Listed separately from the citation</ref> whereas the entire text is cited.<ref>Citation.</ref> And this needs even more clarification.<ref group=note>Another note</ref>

==Notes==
{{reflist|group=note}}

==References==
{{reflist}}</nowiki>
|This part of the text requires clarification,<ref group=note>Listed separately from the citation</ref> whereas the entire text is cited.<ref>Citation</ref> And this needs even more clarification.<ref group=note>Another note</ref>

{{fake heading|sub=3|Notes}}
{{reflist|group=note}}

{{fake heading|sub=3|References}}
{{reflist}}
}}

Note that the footnote labels in the reference list show only the numbers and not the group name.

When using both names and groups, the syntax is:

:{{tag|ref|params=group="<var>groupname</var>" name="<var>name</var>"|content=Content}}

For the repeated note:

:{{tag|ref|s|params=group="<var>groupname</var>" name="<var>name</var>"}}

{{anchor|Footnotes:predefinedgroups}}

Example with both names and groups:
{{markup
|<nowiki>It is possible to reuse a group reference.<ref group=note>If you need to.</ref> For example, this reference<ref group=note name="twice">Used twice.</ref> is used twice.<ref group=note name="twice" />

==Notes==
{{reflist|group=note}}
</nowiki>
|It is possible to reuse a group reference.<ref group=note>If you need to.</ref> For example, this reference<ref group=note name="twice">Used twice.</ref> is used twice.<ref group=note name="twice" />

{{fake heading|sub=3|Notes}}
{{reflist|group=note}}
}}

Example with both names and groups, using list-defined references:
{{markup
|<nowiki>It is possible to reuse a group reference.<ref group=note name="once" /> For example, this reference<ref group=note name="twice" /> is used twice.<ref group=note name="twice" />

==Notes==
<references group=note>
<ref group=note name="once">If you need to.</ref>
<ref group=note name="twice">Used twice.</ref>
</references>
</nowiki>
|It is possible to reuse a group reference.<ref group=note name="once" /> For example, this reference<ref group=note name="twice" /> is used twice.<ref group=note name="twice" />

{{fake heading|sub=3|Notes}}
<references group=note>
<ref group=note name="once">If you need to.</ref>
<ref group=note name="twice">Used twice.</ref>
</references>
