Ta‌̱mpi‌̱let:Harvard citation documentation

Ta‌̱mpi‌̱let:Tl1 is designed to be used to create Ta‌̱mpi‌̱let:Sfnote, a citation style where there is an author-date citation in a footnote and a complete citation in a references section at the end of the article. (See example below.) This citation style is used to reduce clutter in the edit window and to combine identical citations.

Common problems and known workarounds are given in the section possible issues section below.

There are several other templates that are designed for use with shortened footnotes. They differ slightly in the way they format the author-date citation and how much of their functionality is automated. A full list of these related templates is below.

Note that the use (or even non-use) of these templates is an element of citation "style", and adding or removing them in articles with an established style should be consistent with that style. See WP:CITEVAR.

Also note that inline use of these templates, i.e. use of {{harv}} without <ref>...</ref> tags around it, was deprecated in September 2020.
