Syntax

{{Notes|}}

{{Notes|Page|http://site.org|Page|Page}}

Usage

While footnotes are normally used to cite other materials, this template can provide a simple link to other articles or web addresses as well. Unlike footnotes it will not display a section at the bottom, rather it just adds a superscript link where used. Up to 10 items can be cited and any item that is not a valid page will be assumed to be a web address.

If a web address uses an equals sign, replace it with {{=}} or else this template will interpret it as a parameter and won't display it properly.

For example:

Asheron has participated in a number of live events through 
the years.{{Notes|12/19/08 - All Servers - Dereth's Elite|http://www.thejackcat.com/AC/Culture/Dereth/Elysa.htm}}

displays as:

Asheron has participated in a number of live events through the years.^{[12/19/08 - All Servers - Dereth's Elite [1]][2]}
