Bug #: 37377
Summary: Cite.php should allow for different styles of
backlinks
Product: MediaWiki
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: General/Unknown

As was being discussed at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template_talk:Efn , WP
allows for different styles of refs in the text of an article such as
"lower-greek", "lower-roman", etc. The most common of these is "lower-alpha",
which is used by Template:Notelist to form a separate footnote list and
citation list. The issue is that, while the style seen in the article text and
ref bullet list can be changed, the style in the backlinks cannot. So it
creates something like this:
a. ^abc
b. ^ab
c. ^abcd
Ideally cite.php should allow for alternate backlink styles, and should
automatically use Arabic numerals or upper-alpha when the ref-style lower-alpha
is selected.
a. ^123
b. ^12
c. ^1234
