== References in transcluding articles? ==

This moudle seems very complicated, and I can't sort out how to fix problems it is causing with references in transcluding articles. At the moment, [[1988–89 Norwich City F.C. season#Final league table]] transcludes the "First Division" section from [[1988–89 Football League]]. This leaves the Norwich City article with an undefined error for the reference "Liverpool-ban".

This reference, however, is defined in the "col_EXEC" parameter in the invocation of this template. It seems like the template will add columns depending on certain results, but the documentation isn't too approachable and I'm not sure how reference definitions can be established to correctly appear in the different configurations that the template might output.

For now, I've worked around this issue by repeating the reference definition in each column. This seems pretty cumbersome, but perhaps it's the only solution for now. What alternative solutions are available? Are there plans to better document this template, make it easier to use (particularly for new users!), or address the referencing issues it regularly causes? -- [[User:Mikeblas|Mikeblas]] ([[User talk:Mikeblas|talk]]) 18:05, 28 August 2022 (UTC)
