===[[Template:sfn|<code><nowiki>{{sfn}}</nowiki></code>]]'s [[WP:REFNAME|ref name]]===
Template {{tl2|sfn}} creates a [[WP:REFNAME|named footnote]], so that identical footnotes are combined automatically. The footnote name begins with {{code|FOOTNOTE}} followed by a concatenation of the arguments to {{tl2|sfn}}. E.g.: this template call {{tlx|sfn|Smith|2006|4=p=26}} should have exactly the same functionality as {{tag|ref|params=name="FOOTNOTESmith200626"|content={{tl|Harvnb|Smith|2006|4=p=26}}}} which, in turn, has the same functionality as {{tag|ref|params=name="FOOTNOTESmith200626"|content=<nowiki>[[#CITEREFSmith2006|Smith (2006)]], p. 26</nowiki>}}.

The ref name becomes more complicated when the page (p) parameter includes a URL, e.g. {{tlg|sfn|Joyce|1903|p{{=}}[https://archive.org/details/aconcisehistory00joycgoog/page/n226 213]|code=on}}, which, once defined, can be called by {{tag|ref|empty|params=name="FOOTNOTEJoyce1903[httpsarchiveorgdetailsaconcisehistory00joycgoogpagen226 213]"}}. The "p=" and the characters |,:,.,/,?,=; are therefore stripped out of the URL.

The call to {{tl2|harvnb}} has been [[subst]]'ed for quicker load times.
