I think it would be nice if the Wiki syntax could facilitate footnoting of articles.
I don't think footnotes are suitable for webpages. Unlike paper, the user has to travel (potentially) a long way for related information. I have been trying to reintegrate them into the text where I see them in articles -- I suggest we try and write without them
It can be some time useful to make a sentence/paragraph more easy to read and redirect the reader to a more detailed paragraph (for exemple in the article introduction).
