:One thing to remember: the parser cannot handle the processing of the <nowiki><ref></ref></nowiki> tags within the template. One must use those tags ''outside'' the template--especially since the <nowiki><ref></nowiki> tag does take an optional parameter, that being the name of the reference, so that one can cite it more than once.

:Most footnotes appear with the Christian name first, then the surname. But that might not be according to MLA style. We ought to stick to MLA style as closely as possible, even if it means specifying more than one parameter for a linked biographical name (or, in the alternative, giving each biographee a redirect having the surname first).--[[User:TerryH|TerryH]]<sup>[[User talk:TerryH|Talk]]</sup> 08:02, 11 July 2007 (EDT)

::No, we don't need to specify parameters in the order the template uses them (except un-named parameters, of course). I didn't realise that the <nowiki><ref></nowiki> tags could not be in the template; that kind of blows one idea I had, and reduces one of the advantages of templates—saving keystrokes. I wonder if we could have a <nowiki><ref></ref></nowiki> button on the editing toolbar?
::What's "MLA style"?
::Do you agree with the broad idea of separate '''sources''' or '''bibliography''' and '''references''' or '''notes''' sections, as I've done in [[Archaeopteryx]]?
