Footnotes

I can't seem to get footnotes into my pages using the MediaWiki <ref> tags? Is there a replacement or some other possible way? --CrashDome 20:41, 3 August 2006 (CEST)

The use of footnotes is a MediaWiki extension that isn't installed by default. You should probably just use either in-text links, or a list of external links at the bottom of the article. --Kronzky 23:11, 3 August 2006 (CEST)

OK, I can cope for the time-being... that's not very intuitive or helpful to be honest. Footnotes or making reference to a source is a common feature in any type of document and should even be encouraged. Is there going to be this 'addon' installed at some point hopefully? --CrashDome 23:27, 3 August 2006 (CEST)
