RFC reference repository edit
Instructions edit
In order to keep things manageable, all RFC references are put in sub-pages below this one. To make this subdivision, the RFC number is divided by 100 to get the sub-page number. For example, references 3100-3199 can be found in Template:Ref RFC/db/31.
Each sub-page has room for a maximum of 100 references, which makes editing not too hard.
Example entry edit
Below is an example of the content of a sub-page. Add more references to the table as needed.

Be sure to add a space before the closing (/>) of the <section [begin|end]=rfc9999 /> tags. The section labels should start with the letters rfc, followed by the RFC number.
The RFC's status may be deduced from the colourful bar at the very top of the page, when viewed in https://datatracker.ietf.org. A click on it reveils a legend, and it is this description that is recorded as the 'Status'.
