The template {{Fnb}} is deprecated. Please use {{note}} instead. This usage is deprecated. Please replace it with {{tdeprecated|Fnb|note}}. The template {{note}} is deprecated. Please use {{[[Template:{{{2}}}|{{{2}}}]]}} instead.

There is a new proposal for autnumbered footnotes which probably obsoletes this template, please see Footnote3 consensus on the talk page is to take it in to use. Mozzerati 15:36, 2005 Feb 26 (UTC)

[edit] Usage

To be used in conjunction with {{fn}}

This template is an implementation of the guidelines given at Wikipedia:Footnotes.

[edit] Discussion

Can we switch the style from "'Note 1:" to the more standard "1."? Example:

1. Foo
2. Foo

Instead of

Note 1: Foo

Note 2: Foo

The footnote format is taken from Wikipedia:Footnotes. I suggest proposing your change there. This template just implements the current standard. -- Netoholic @ 02:11, 2005 Jan 18 (UTC)

[edit] Italics

I can't see in the WikiSyntax why the number is italicised: could anyone help? --Oldak Quill 01:17, 23 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Anytime you wrap text in <cite>Some text</cite> it may appear italicised in some browsers. -- Netoholic @ 05:01, 2005 Feb 23 (UTC)

[edit] What happened?

I had made extensive use of this template at Congressional Delegations from Michigan. At the time, the footnotes were nicely formatted as a list. Now they are a complete mess. What happened? Is there a template that doesn't begin each line with the crappy-looking "Note #"? And shouldn't the guidance above explicitly state that the template should be used with a bulleted list in order to appear properly formatted? older ≠ wiser 13:01, May 30, 2005 (UTC)
