| − | Here is an example of how these are used. As a citation, a single parameter is used to specify the page number (or similar details particular to this citation, but not to the source itself).

| − | When citing this source in a Bibliography section, however, no parameter is used. The template spits out a long format reference with a leading bullet.

| − | </blockquote>
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Note that it calls another template called Fn, and hands it three parameters:
| + | |
| − | * the bibliographic (long format) description of the source (final period omitted).
| + | |
| − | * a pipe character: |
| + | |
| − | * the abbreviated footnote mention of the same work (final period omitted)
| + | |
| − | * the following mess: <nowiki>|{{{1|}}}<noinclude>{{BibCat}}</noinclude></nowiki></nowiki>
| + | |
| − | * there should be NO line breaks anywhere, or ugly whitespace and bullets may result in use
