Sorry, I've reverted. There's a direct link to [[Geographic references]] from every Rambot-generated article, things like:
As of the [[census]][[Geographic references#2|<sup>2</sup>]] of 2000, there were 1,101 people...

those links first, we shouldn't be redirecting to an article which isn't the source!
Uh, we shouldn't be citing Wikipedia for census information :/
It is not a direct citation. It was apparently an attempt in the pre <ref> days (probably even predating templatized footnotes) to indicate the source for the statistices. IMO, all the GR#2 links should be changed to use <ref> tags. A dog lot of work though, but a bot could probably help.
