I'm trying to be the good wikipedian and adding lots of on-topic refs, but I find editing them to be extremely difficult and error prone. IMHO the actual "body" of the ref should definitely not be placed in the article body, where it is now, as this makes reading the source difficult, to say the least. Click edit on Zune some time...
Is there some alternate format? Can I use the <ref name=gizifa/> and then place the actual contents later in the article, like in the actual reference section? All of my attempts to date have failed.
If not, is there some sort of editor that makes this easier?
Here is what I do: Under ==References== I have two subsections, ===Works cited=== and ===Notes===. ===Works cited=== has the full reference info in standard reference order while ===Notes=== has <references/>. Then inline, I have stuff like <ref>Smith, John, p. 249</ref>. However, this does not work well for articles that use more than a dozen or so separate sources.
