[edit] Footnote3

There is a new proposal for autnumbered footnotes which probably obsoletes this template, please see Footnote3 consensus on the talk page is to take it in to use. Mozzerati 15:36, 2005 Feb 26 (UTC)

[edit] small

I think a problem with this template is that the line spacing gets irregular, that I attempted to solve with this. However, it was reverted with the comment: rvt. rmv small tags, which make it too small which I can't agree with. In good typography, sub- and superscripts are rendered smaller. /Tuomas 13:01, 2 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Normally <sup> automatically makes the text smaller. The solution used in Wikipedia:Footnote3 which provides automatically numbered footnotes is to use a square brace around the reference (like this^[1]) which makes a big enough target for people with difficulties with small links.

[edit] Span tag

I have encased the contents in a span tag, using a class called reference. For all those who don't want references, all that you need to do is add the following to your stylesheet:

.reference {

 display: none ! important;

}

Please remove this, this is wack. Now my userpage is linked to the sv wikipedia. Or put it in a noinclude. helohe (talk) 02:51, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

Done. Conscious 10:57, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

Thank you helohe (talk) 15:21, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Deprecation?

It seems like this template continues to be useful for seperately numbered and collected notes, such as those found in tables. For instance, see Major film studio#Today's Big Six. Is that sort of usage worth clarifying in the usage page? jhawkinson 21:41, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
