Wikipedia talk:Footnote4

This system is already in use, so I decided it should be documented. It is very quick and easy to convert to other older systems such as fn/fnb (Wikipedia:Footnote2) or an/anb ref/note (Wikipedia:Footnote3) if there aren't duplicate notes. This means that I am happy if people test this out since we can get rid of it quickly if it turns out to be a mistake. Mozzerati 21:35, 2005 Apr 12 (UTC)

Technical problems

It seems that, when used in Wikipedia, this template eats section breaks, but not when used in my own installation of WikiMedia 1.4beta6. Does anyone have a suggestion?

note template

Is mnb supposed to be used with note? It looks like there may be some unedited cut-and-paste in the project page, so the definitions are not clear. (SEWilco 05:05, 7 May 2005 (UTC))

fn_

Are mnb and mn supposed to be using IDs beginning with fn_ or should they use their own namespace? (SEWilco 05:09, 7 May 2005 (UTC))

Absorbed in Footnote3

This is basically being absorbed into Wikipedia:Footnote3. The concepts are indeed needed, due to various MediaWiki characteristics. I found enough situations which needed this labeled-footnote ability that I created {{ref_num}} and {{ref_label}}, which effectively replace {{mn}} and {{mnb}}. I'll have SEWilcoBot convert the articles soon from mn/mnb to equivalent Footnote3 forms. (SEWilco 8 July 2005 23:21 (UTC))
