Help:Cite errors/Cite error ref too many keys

Overview
A footnote used multiple times may be defined with a name:
 * content

Any footnote can be assigned to a group:
 * content

Or both:
 * content

Issues and resolution
A named reference tag has too many names or parameters. A quoteless name such as  will be parsed as two separate names due to the space, thus generating the error. You can only specify two parameters,  and. You can't, for instance, format a reference with content, or give it an id.

Examples
In this example, reference 1 is named, which is invalid due to the space. In reference 2  is valid as it is enclosed in quotes and reference 3 is valid as   uses an underscore.

Bugs


This error is not generated if the name fragment after the space contains (not just begins) any other character than A–Z, a–z, 0–9. When this condition occurs, the link is truncated after the space. In this example, although the name fragment after the space contains a different character, all three references generate the same link:
