Wikimedia does not do a good job with footnotes.
Having to srcoll way

inconvenient with a long text.
You don't have to scroll down, at least not manually.
You just click on the superscript number. And hit backspace when
finished reading the footnote.
Or better yet, link the number at the start of the footnote to its
position in the text.
But MediaWiki doesn't support autonumbered or auto-positioned
footnotes yet, at all...
It would in general be useful to edit the footnote along with the relevant text.
