curprev 00:3900:39, 7 January 2024 Rjjiii talk contribs 30,326 bytes +1,477 Okay, I've tried to lead off with a best practices example similar to what I see in the template documentation and representative of common usage. It is the same as the second example, but uses the efn and sfn templates. The "mixed" example has been moved down to spot 3. It uses the most basic syntax and is very similar to what the page originally contained. This creates a transition of more common and template-based examples to less so, similar to the top of the page.

curprev 03:4503:45, 6 January 2024 Rjjiii talk contribs 28,849 bytes +3 This is unrelated to the example changes explained on the talk page. If template:efn is used for this note, it will be caught by template:notelist in an example. Using template:efn-lr correctly places it in template:notelist-lr in the "Notes" section.

Can you explain (at Talk) what you are going for, here? Why are you moving article body text into the ps param of the Sfn; how does this help doument it? See also the examples at mw:Help:Cite.
