Greetings!
Is there a way in the <references> tag to place the note first and then the instances?
Now:
- ↑ ^1.00 1.01 1.02 1.03 1.04 1.05 1.06 SRD-OGL v5.1
- ↑ ^2.00 2.01 2.02 2.03 UA Classics Revisited
What I would like:
- ↑ SRD-OGL v5.1 ^1.00 1.01 1.02 1.03 1.04 1.05 1.06
- ↑ UA Classics Revisited ^2.00 2.01 2.02 2.03
Processing of the <references> tag is handled by the Cite extension. There is some documentation on mediawiki.org [0] about customizing it's output.
It looks to me like the "cite_references_link_many" message could be changed to switch the display order for footnotes with multiple uses. I created a [[MediaWiki:Cite_references_link_many]] page on a testing wiki with the content `<li id="$1">↑ $3 <span class="mw-cite-backlink">$2</span></li>` and that seems to do what you are wanting. The "cite_references_link_one" message can be changed to alter how a reference with a single usage is displayed.
