Hi Ryan, thanks for bringing up this request. I see that the <note> tag (T7265) discussion goes back even further than the task, for example on the footnotes talk page [1], as early as 2005 [2]. Un-merging the task was a good call, maybe the next step would be to promote it during the next community wishlist survey, or elaborate enough that it would make a good mentorship project. There might be some beneficial overlap from improvements to be made to the marker number sequence logic? We noticed that the VisualEditor module [3] and backend [4] each do their own numbering and neither code is open to extension. -Adam [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help_talk:Footnotes [2] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Manual_of_Style_(footnotes)/Archive_1 [3] https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/mediawiki/extensions/Cite/+/531900/ [4] https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/mediawiki/extensions/Cite/+/530399/ _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
