Template:Binpre

Purpose
binpre provides a swift and uniform method to add a disambiguating footnote where the prefixes K, M, G, T are used to refer to multiples of a power of 1024, instead of the common 1000.

Parameters
binpre takes a single, optional parameter, first, indicating the first use on a page, creating the named footnote binpre. Additional uses without a parameter refer to that already created, named footnote.

Usage

 * creates the named footnote for the first use on a page. A References section should already exist.
 * creates a reference to the already created footnote

For a single usage in a section,  should directly follow the unit to be disambiguated, e.g.  . When multiple such units are used in a sentence or short section,   should be put after the end of the sentence or section.
