Wikipedia talk:Footnote2

Hi, I'm the one that wrote the patch to autogenerate footnotes bug 192. It seems that I was not clear in describing how my implemenation works, so let me try again.

The wikitext looks like this:

Jimmy Stewart is a Martian[footnote:my best friend told me]. James Dean was his lover.[footnote:I believe so.]

The output looks like this

Jimmy Stewart is a Martion1. James Dean was his lover.2

Single footnote template
Instead of,  ,  ,  , etc. (which might need generating more templates if the existing no. wasn't enough for some article), we could use instead something like  ,  , which is flexible with respect to the no. of footnotes as well as the characters to be used (e.g. we could use * or &dagger; too). -- Paddu 11:53, 25 Dec 2004 (UTC)


 * This has been proposed earlier by User:Sgeo in Wikipedia talk:Footnotes. -- Paddu 12:16, 25 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Autonumbering footnote proposal
I have an autonumbering footnote proposal up at Footnote3. The article its self serves as a demo. What do you think? Mozzerati 21:52, 2005 Feb 19 (UTC)

Footnote 2 - can you allow for multiple styles?
Creating an easy to use method of referencing is critical for medical pages. Footnotes is very tedious. I used the method from Footnote2 in the article [Upper_gastrointestinal_bleeding]. I find this to be the Wiki best footnoting system I have used as it
 * 1) allows aggregation of references at the end for easy maintenance
 * 2) allows for multiple references of a source

One question. This method displays a bullet followed by "Note". Is there a way to suppress this and only display the reference number as done by ref/note style in Footnote3?
