This template addresses the not uncommon confusion encountered when users first seek to edit inline citations, but instead of finding the citations' text in the references section, see only {{Reflist}} or <references/>.
Usage edit
- This template should always be substituted by prefixing "subst:" inside the template code. Thus, use {{subst:
Edit refs}}, rather than{{Edit refs}}. - You can indent the template by typing one or more colons before the template code, e.g.,
:{{subst:Edit refs}}. - The indentation level you specify using colons, per above, is maintained across the template's paragraph breaks by the use of
<p>tags, instead of line breaks. - The template does not include automatic signing. Please remember to sign by typing four tildes (~) after the template syntax.
