@APPU, your recent edits have resulted in multiple periods at the end of the footnote. Please check the examples (or create a testpage) and ensure that your edits aren't breaking anything. Please also explain what you're trying to do or use edit summaries; those are particularly important when editing templates that affect many pages. {{u|Sdkb}}talk 19:35, 15 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I wished to know if we can make Template:Efn_Chinese_name have a further note below the already existing 'In this Chinese name, the family name is Mao and Ze is a generation name.' In Mao Zedong there are two efn notes adjacent to his name, namely, [a] and [b]. I opine it would be better if both be combined into one.
So that it would be something like [a] The reason I am proposing the edit in template is because most Chinese names are ought to have a pronounciation guide therefore combining would make sense.

@APPU, ah, that makes sense! I think the best way to go about it is to introduce a |textonly=yes parameter, which will allow this to be embedded within an existing footnote. Stylistically, I think it might be better to place it after the pronunciation rather than before. I'll implement and try it out at Mao's page. {{u|Sdkb}}talk 17:26, 17 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
