Explanatory footnotes or Efn are footnotes which provide something other than, or more than, a reference to a source that supports the accompanying text. The first unnamed parameter is displayed as the content of the footnote. Note that if the note's content contains an "=" character, a reference error will be displayed; precede the content with |1= (or one of its aliases, |text=, |reference=, or |content=) to fix the error.
The following explanation is transcluded from Help:Footnotes#Footnotes: predefined groups. {{#section:Help:footnotes|pregroup}}

- Chinese room (a long and complex article which uses all the features: named footnotes, list defined notes, etc.)
- Empire of Brazil
