Line 19 ⟶ 21:

There are predefined group names that use templates for the in-text citation and for the reference list. If one of these group names is used, then the matching reference list template can be used.

{{#section:Help:footnotes|pregrouptable}}

<section begin=rlt />

{| class="wikitable" border=1

|-

! Group name !! Reference list template !! In-text citation template

|-

| || {{tl|reflist}} ||

|-

| || {{tl|reflist}} || {{tl|refn}} for nested references

|-

| lower-alpha || {{tl|notelist}} || {{tl|efn}}

|-

| upper-alpha || {{tl|notelist-ua}} || {{tl|efn-ua}}

|-

| lower-roman || {{tl|notelist-lr}} || {{tl|efn-lr}}

|-

|}

<section end=rlt />

----

Sometimes the reference list markup exists, but the message is shown because the {{tag|ref|o}} tag immediately before the reference list markup does not have a closing {{tag|ref|c}} or it is malformed, thus "eating" the rest of the text including the reference list. Find the last {{tag|ref|o}} tag and ensure it is properly closed with {{tag|ref|c}}.

----

This message may also show if there are {{tag|ref}} tags after the reference list markup. Ensure all {{tag|ref}} tags are properly placed. A template such as a navbox may have {{tag|ref}} tags.
