| 40px | This is a documentation subpage for Template:Format footnotes. It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
Contents
When to use
This template indicates that the article uses many improperly formatted or non-formatted inline citations that require large-scale conversion to an accepted form of inline citation.
How to use
To add this template to an article, copy and paste:
{{Format footnotes/doc|{{subst:DATE}}}}
- or
{{Format footnotes/doc|date=June 2026}}
Both options result in the same output.
- This template will add the page to Category:Articles needing footnote reformatting and Category:Articles covered by WikiProject Wikify.
- A bot will add the date for you at a later time if you forgot.
Examples
A standard, correct way of formatting the following citations (with some acceptable variations as described at Wikipedia:Citing sources) would be:
Correct: Australia has a government.[1]
The following are examples of improperly formatted or non-formatted inline citations. This template is appropriate for articles that contain many such citations, therefore requiring large-scale conversion.
Embedded link
Incorrect: Australia has a government Australian Government.
or:
Incorrect: Australia has a government.[1]
Manual number
Incorrect: Australia has a governmentsee footnote 1
Parenthetical reference
Inline parenthetical referencing was a previously accepted citation system that is now deprecated per WP:PARREF. The recommendation is to convert inline parenthetical references to shortened footnotes (as depicted below) or regular footnotes (as depicted in the first example above) or footnotes with list-defined references.
Incorrect: Australia has a government (Australian Government Press Agency, 2009).
Correct: Australia has a government.[2]
