Usage
This template replicates the backlink rendered in the reference list when using Cite Footnotes.
For a single backlink, use the default {{dummy backlink}}:
- ^
For multiple backlinks, simply add the values; for example {{dummy backlink|a b}} renders as:
- ^ a b
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 Wikipedia has been customized to use the caret ^. The up arrow is used on many other language versions of Wikipedia. To show the up arrow set |default=yes:
| Markup | Renders as | 
|---|---|
| {{dummy backlink|default=yes}} | ↑ |
