Template talk:Dnote
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Dnote is an new experimental citation system. It is created in order to allow the use of direct URL links in articles, including even numbered links [1] whilst keeping full citation information about those links for future editors to use in verification and link fixing.
[edit] Why?
- Citations are fundamental to verifiability and that is fundamental to Wikipedia's value as an encyclopedia.
- To help get citation information from some people who wouldn't give it otherwise.
- To experiment.
[edit] How?

Looks like Johna says
You can miss out the linktext and then you will get a numbered link. Don't do that since it's bad style; a person with a screen reader, will be unable to work out which link is for what, for example.
