Usage

This template replicates the backlink rendered in the reference list when using Cite Footnotes.

For a single backlink, use the default {{dummy backlink}}:

Template loop detected: Template:Dummy backlink

For multiple backlinks, simply add the values; for example {{dummy backlink|a b}} renders as:

Template loop detected: Template:Dummy backlink

When using multiple backlinks, add a space between each. Although any value can be entered for the backlink label, only lower-alpha characters are valid.

To show the reference numbers, use the # markup:

Markup Renders as
# {{dummy backlink|a b}}
# {{dummy backlink}}
# {{dummy backlink|a b c}}

The default backlink character is an up arrow ↑, but the English OODA WIKI has been customized to use the caret ^. The up arrow is used on many other language versions of OODA WIKI. To show the up arrow set |default=yes:

Markup Renders as
{{dummy backlink|default=yes}}
