Overview
ಬದಲಾಯಿಸಿWhen grouped references are defined, then the page must also have markup to show the reference list. The reference list is shown by including either of the following:
{{Reflist|group=groupname}}
- or
{{Notelist}}or one of the variants listed below.
Issues and resolution
ಬದಲಾಯಿಸಿThe most obvious and simplest issue is when the reference list markup is missing. Simply add {{reflist|group=groupname}} to the end of the article under the section title "References", usually between "See also" and "External links". The $1 in the message shown above will be replaced with the groupname.
There are predefined group names that use templates for the in-text citation and for the reference list. If one of these group names is used, then the matching reference list template can be used.
| Group name | Reference list template | In-text citation template |
|---|---|---|
{{Reflist}} |
||
{{Reflist}} |
{{Refn}} for nested references
| |
| lower-alpha | {{Notelist}} |
{{Efn}}
|
| upper-alpha | {{Notelist-ua}} |
{{Efn-ua}}
|
| lower-roman | {{Notelist-lr}} |
{{Efn-lr}}
|
Sometimes the reference list markup exists, but the message is shown because the <ref> tag immediately before the reference list markup does not have a closing </ref> or it is malformed, thus "eating" the rest of the text including the reference list. Find the last <ref> tag and ensure it is properly closed with <ref>.
This message may also show if there are <ref>...</ref> tags after the reference list markup. Ensure all <ref>...</ref> tags are properly placed. A template such as a navbox may have <ref>...</ref> tags.
