Template:Refbegin/doc

Usage

I have suggested this template as an option for usage in the second and third of three options for citing notes on a wikipedia article. The original discussion can be found here. Below is a copy of the 3 suggested options...

Option 1 (only specific references) - see The Rule

== References ==

{{reflist}}

Option 2 (only general references) - see National Publications

== References ==

{{refbegin}}
* general reference 1
* general reference 2
{{refend}}

Option 3 (both specific and general references) - see Elephant

== References ==

{{reflist}}

{{refbegin}}
* general reference 1
* general reference 2
{{refend}}
