This template accepts a single, optional, unnamed parameter:
{{ref info}}{{ref info|page title}}
When {{ref info}} is used without a page title parameter, it may be added to and left in a page. It will only produce output when the page is viewed in preview mode.
Using the template with page title parameter allows editors to add the template to another page, perhaps in their user space or the article's talk page, so that they may see the state of the named article remotely. The template will not follow a redirect so page name must be the article's actual name. An error message will be returned if the article at page name is empty or does not exist.
This template will not be hidden in an article when page name set.
The template also accepts the named parameter |style=. Use this to set the output table's styling. For example, to position the table at the right edge of the page, use |style=float:right (the example in this page uses that style). |style= is ignored when the page title parameter is omitted.
To get the reference information from the article Aristotle add {{ref info}} to that page and click Show preview. Alternately, this documentation page uses:
{{ref info|aristotle}}

{{use xxx dates}} - ^ a b c when an article has
{{use dmy dates}}or{{use mdy dates}}, dates in cs1|2 templates render according to the global format specified by the{{use xxx dates}}template unless overridden by a local|df=parameter.
Technical stuff
At the bottom of a preview page is a dropdown titled: Templates used in this preview. At the bottom of an edit page there is a similar dropdown titled: Pages transcluded onto the current version of this page. When this template is used to monitor a remote page, the Scribunto function mw.title.new() is counted as linked from the page that holds this template.
The detection of individual templates shown in "List of cs1 templates" and similar sections is deliberately case-sensitive, because some editors prefer to check that the case of their template transclusions is consistent. This means that the section will list {{cite book}} and {{Cite book}} separately, for example.
