Overview[edit]
A footnote used multiple times may be defined with a name:
<ref name="foo">content</ref>
To invoke a named footnote:
<ref name="foo" />
References may also be defined within the reference list:
{{reflist|refs= <ref name=rename1>refcontent1</ref> <ref name=rename2>refcontent2</ref> }}
List-defined reference may be within groups:
{{reflist|refs= <ref name=rename1>refcontent1</ref> <ref name=rename2 groupname=groupname>refcontent2</ref> }}
List-defined references may be invoked by the standard markup or by use of {{r}}.

tags.
