The row format could probably be turned into a template on its own merit. It would either be one of the two (or perhaps it could function as both, with parameter conditions):

• |-
  | {{tlx|}} || {{TC|}} || {{tlx|}} || {{TC|}}

• {{pre||- | {{tlx|}} ({{tlx|}}) || {{TC|}} || {{tlx|}} || {{TC|}}}} {| class="wikitable" |- style="vertical-align:top;" ! Footnote marker template<br/>or markup !! Transclusion<br/> count !! Invocation or<br/>transclusion !! Reference list<br/> template !! Transclusion<br/> count |- | {{tlx|Harvard citation}} ({{tlx|harv}}) || {{TC|Harvard citation|6200}} || <code><nowiki>{{#invoke:Footnotes|harvard_citation}} || || the current page's transclusion count

|- | {{Harvard citation no brackets}} ({{harvnb}}) || 31000 || {{#invoke:Footnotes|harvard_citation_no_bracket}} || || the current page's transclusion count |- | {{Harvard citation text}} ({{harvtxt}}) || 4600 || {{Harvard citation/core || {{[[Template:|]]}} || the current page's transclusion count |- | {{Harvard citations}} ({{harvs}}) || 1500 || || {{[[Template:|]]}} || the current page's transclusion count |- | {{[[Template:|]]}} || the current page's transclusion count || {{[[Template:|]]}} || the current page's transclusion count |- | {{[[Template:|]]}} ({{[[Template:|]]}}) || the current page's transclusion count || {{[[Template:|]]}} || the current page's transclusion count |}

I previously tried to replace some {{cref}} and {{cnotes}} templates, but it turned out poorly because I didn't understand all the technical details. I will want to ensure I understand all the technical details before embarking upon such a quest again.

That this regex is placed higher than all regex in notes is incidental; the quality may vary. Regex is actually suboptimal because of its relative inclarity, so I will probably transition to custom AWB C#.

I assume these were part of an idea to have a middle transition stage between notes templates. But I want to avoid doing that if possible. I only thought of this because it was done previously, I wonder where it was done previously.
