'''Explanatory footnotes''' or '''Efn''' are footnotes that provide something other than, or more than, a reference to a [[WP:Reliable sources|source]] that supports the accompanying text. The first unnamed parameter is displayed as the content of the footnote.

{{hatnote|'''Note''': If the note's content contains an "{{=}}" character, a reference error will be displayed; precede the content with {{para|1}} (or one of its aliases, {{para|text}}, {{para|reference}}, or {{para|content}}) to fix the error.}}

The following explanation is transcluded from [[Help:Footnotes#Footnotes: predefined groups]].
{{#section:Help:footnotes|pregroup}}

==Example articles==
* [[Logic Theorist]] (a short article showing basic usage)
* [[Chinese room]] (a long and complex article which uses all the features: named footnotes, list defined notes, etc.)
* [[Empire of Brazil]]
* [[John Diefenbaker]] (with name= and notes in <nowiki>{{notes}}</nowiki>)
* [[USS Monitor|USS ''Monitor'']]
