Template:Sfn1


 * References

{{documentation|content=

The Template:Sfn1 formats a shortened footnote, in the style of a "&lt;ref>" tag, but for only 1 citation, not used as a footnote again within a specific article page. If used more than once with the same parameters, then each instance will generate another separate foonote in the references section. Instead, Template:Sfn, for repeated citations, should be used when a footnote is likely to be repeated in the text.
 * Usage: {{sfn1|Author1|Auth2|1998|p=7}} &rarr;

Each specific page number (optional) will generate a separate footnote. See documentation at Template:Sfn for a full list of possible parameter options.

Performance considerations
Because Template:Sfn1 generates a simple &lt;ref> tag, for the single-use footnote, it can run 4x faster than Template:Sfn, which uses function to generate footnotes which can have multiple instances of the same parameters. Operational tests have shown Template:Sfn1 can run over 290 times per second, with a typical mix of parameters.

Both templates support the same options. See Template:Sfn for parameters. }}
