Bug #: 28849
Summary: Show footnotes in section edit preview
Product: MediaWiki
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: Page editing
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
Classification: Unclassified
When editing a section of an article that has footnotes in it the preview
screen does not show those footnotes - only when editing the whole page do the
footnotes show.
This request is to have the section-edit preview screen render that section's
footnotes as they will display at the bottom of the page when the edit is
saved. It is annoying to be adding footnotes to an article and not be able to
preview how they will look/whether they've been formatted correctly.
Workarounds for this exist already of course but it would be nice to have this
as standard:
- adding {{reflist}} or <references /> to the bottom of the section being
edited for the purposes of the preview, then removing it before saving
- adding scripts to the user's js file such as this
importScript("User:DatRoot/Scripts/PreviewRefs.js");
