The term cross-reference (abbreviation: xref) can refer to either: . An instance within a document which refers to related information elsewhere in the same document. In both printed and online dictionaries cross-references are important because they form a network structure of relations existing between different parts of data, dictionary-internal as well as dictionary external.
These kinds of cross-references can be formatted easily with the {{Crossreference}} a.k.a. {} template (or, to other sections on the same page, {} and {}). In any case where such a link in running text would be proper, it is preferred over a parenthetical, explicit cross-reference.
This template accepts the following parameters: |1= or |text= or |content= – The cross-reference text (required). While the explicit naming of this parameter with |1=, |text=, or |content= is not required, it is always safest to use it this way, since any = character in the text will break the template if the parameter is unnamed.
