For inline citations using parenthetical referencing—especially Harvard citation documentation—use the shortened footnote (sfn) in the main body of the text, as in:

Article text.{{sfn|Agoncillo|1997|pp=247-297}} More article text.{{sfn|Aguinaldo|1899|p=119}} Still more article text.{{sfn|Aguinaldo|1899|p=119}} Still more article text.{{sfn|Aguinaldo|1899|p=121}}

Use this markup in the References section, for inline citations appearing in the main body of the text:

*{{cite book|last=Agoncillo|first=Teodoro A.|authorlink=Teodoro Agoncillo|title=Malolos: The crisis of the republic|year=1997|series=Philippine studies reprint series|publisher=University of the Philippines Press|location=Quezon City|isbn=978-9715420969|ref=harv}}
