Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

This template is used to show what text is supported by a reference. It works by repeating the cited text in it. The first parameter is the reference (<ref>...</ref>). Second parameter is the text supported by reference. It will show in a tooltip when the mouse is hovered over the reference marker (e.g.

 ). If the gadget Navigation popups or the beta Hovercards is in use by the reader, then hovering just below the ^[1] will work better than hovering on the actual marker.

Usage

{{Ref supports2|<ref>Whatever the normal contents of the reference tags are. Examples are URLs, text based references, citation templates (e.g. {{Cite web}}, {{Cite journal}}, etc.)</ref>|"some text on the page" ... "another piece of supported text"}}

 .

The text "Supports: " is automatically prepended to the text in the second parameter and displayed in the tooltip.

Example

Source:
At any given time, about half of all patients with malignant cancer are experiencing pain, and more than a third of those (and two thirds of all patients with advanced cancer) experience pain of such intensity that it adversely affects their sleep, mood, social relations and activities of daily living.{{Ref supports2|<ref>{{cite web|title=Example 1|url=http://www.wikipedia.com}}</ref>|"At any given time, about half of all patients with malignant cancer are experiencing pain"}}{{Ref supports2|<ref>Example 2</ref>|"At any given time," ...
