Typical footnote on the Andrée article:

As by me, taken from this version. Nobody has changed it.

No idea how that is better. As far as what the reader sees, it's the same, except that the original "In Swedish" template, now deleted, has been replaced by language=sv, and that one ISBN has been added.

I think I'll just do it my usual way, definitely with added ISBN's. If somebody then enjoys templatifying them, fine. You won't convince me that it's useful, but fine.

I've tried adding as a separate template, but that doesn't work. I'll have to learn how to use it. Or how about simply writing "(in Swedish)" directly after the title, before the period. Ha, why not. No difference for the reader.

Long + short footnotes
Now how about a long note followed by many short notes, all in one list? See the last example here. I like how it comes out. Surely I can do the same thing without the templates. Or else maybe learn to use those particular templates, since they look pretty manageable. Unless maybe some goddam article sources turn up... arghh...

Like this: The brontosaurus is thin at one end. Then it becomes much thicker in the middle.

Comes out as:

Testing a Povel note in the form PLUS :

Povel Ramel was born in Östermalm, Stockholm, into an affluent noble family. His father, Karl Ramel, was a lawyer. His mother, née Märtha Tesch, had three children in a previous marriage, two of whom lived with the new family. In his autobiography, Ramel portrays himself as a cheerful, high-energy, mischievous child, spoiled by affectionate parents and an extended family group of older half-sisters and servants. He writes with particular warmth about his loud, extrovert father, who played with him in the evenings after work. The family cook and maids were his preferred audience for the comical songs which he composed from a very young age. He notes this audience was encouraging but not uncritical, which gave him an early start on the art of reading a room. Creating an idyll at the beginning of a song and bringing it down with a twist or a pratfall at the end was appreciated, but downright plumpness was not.

Looks all right! Note there's no in the short note!

Actually I probably need to specify that Följ mej bakåt vägen is in the two-book volume Povel Ramels Livstycken, where both books have the same ISBN, but that's too tricky for now.
