*[[Lonsdale Battalion history]]. Self-explanatory but haven't worked on this for a long while.

==Reference templates==

These are used primarily on [[Lonsdale Battalion on this day...]] but will now be introducing them to [[:Category:Index of places| index pages]]. Not all pages will require all three templates. Most may only use the <code><nowiki>{{acks}}</nowiki></code> (acknowledgements) template, others may require a combination of two or all three, particularly if there are additional notes or references to be included.

*[[Template:Notes]] <code><nowiki>{{notes}}</nowiki></code>

*[[Template:Refs]] <code><nowiki>{{refs}}</nowiki></code>

*[[Template:Acks]] <code><nowiki>{{acks}}</nowiki></code> (Acknowledgements)

===Reference syntax for notes===

Currently, there three main syntaxes for notes. These are used with the <code><nowiki>{{reflist}}</nowiki></code> template. The above template ([[Template:Notes]]) includes all three variations so if any of these are used, they will be displayed.

*<code><nowiki> {{reflist|group=note}}</nowiki></code>

*<code><nowiki> {{reflist|group=n}}</nowiki></code>

*<code><nowiki> {{reflist|group=lower-alpha}}</nowiki></code>

With the above in mind adding the following syntax within the text will provide the subsequent renderings for each version. It doesn't matter which version is used providing they remain consistent on each page.

*Syntax used is <code><nowiki><ref group="note">..note goes here...</ref></nowiki></code> which renders as <ref group="note">This is the note that renders the whole word note 1, note 2, note 3.</ref>

*Syntax used is <code><nowiki><ref group="n">..note goes here...</ref></nowiki></code> which renders as <ref group="n">This is the note that renders the abbreviated version of "note" as n 1, n 2, n 3.</ref>

*Syntax used is <code><nowiki><ref group="lower-alpha">..note goes here...</ref></nowiki></code> which renders as <ref group="lower-alpha">This is the note that renders letters of the alphabet</ref> and this <ref group="lower-alpha">The more notes there are the more letters are rendered: a, b, c, d, e, f, etc.</ref>

===Note renderings===

{{reflist|group=note}}{{reflist|group=n}}{{reflist|group=lower-alpha}}
