On 23 August 2023, it was proposed that this page be moved to Template:Efn-note. The result of the discussion was not moved.

The "documentation" of this template does not, in fact, document the use of this template (it merely mentions it in a table of similar templates). I had to look at the template code to figure out why it even exists (apparently, merely to avoid typing "|group=note"). If this template is going to stick around, it should "justify" its existence by documenting how and why it should be used (vis-a-vis any other footnote-related template). - dcljr (talk) 13:51, 30 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The template is redundant to {{efn}}, you should be using that instead. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 07:52, 31 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Not exactly. This is just as redundant (in exactly the same way) as {{efn-ua}}, {{efn-lr}}, etc., a fact that would be more clear if it were named {{efn-note}}. Perhaps it should just be moved to that name (leaving a redirect). - dcljr (talk) 02:14, 1 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Is there a means of enforcing line breaks in notes?

If you look at the article Canon Alberic's Scrap-Book, I have used this template to provide the English translation of Latin text from the story in question. Ideally, I would like the note text to display in the same format as the body text, i.e. with line breaks. The < br > code does not seem to work within notetag.

@McPhail: Exactly where is this? I've looked through Canon Alberic's Scrap-Book, including the four edits made recently, and the only instance of <br> - or its exact equivalent, <br /> - is in the infobox:

| title_orig        = A Curious Book<br/>The Scrap-book of Canon Alberic

So why do you think that it doesn't work within {{notetag}}? --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 09:30, 21 March 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Apologies, you are correct, I have tried again and the break tags are working fine. Sorry, I must have done something incorrectly when I tested it. McPhail (talk) 11:03, 22 March 2026 (UTC)[reply]
