Please do not place itthe citation in a {{para|author}} or {{para|source}} parameter by itself, as it will produce a nonsensical attribution line that looks like:<br />{{in5}}— {{fake ref}}<br />Please also do not put it just outside the {{tnull|Quote}} template, as this will cause a:<br />{{in5}}{{fake ref}}<br />on a line by itself.
