Perhaps this is cheating, and it seems to upset some people, but I basically use Harvard Referencing within the <ref> templates, and give the full citation in the ==References== section. So, within the wikitext, you have: "Blah blah blah.<ref>Kilmer, pg. 7</ref> Blah blah." and at the bottom of the page you have the full information for Kilmer. This also makes it easier to put in page numbers for books sources. The downside is that you can sometimes get long lists of different page numbers for the same book, which takes up space and looks somewhat messy, but I figure it's at the bottom of the article anyway.

Anyone else bothered by how much these clutter up and interefere with editing text?
Do you have a solution? The only thing I can think of is putting all the references at the beginning and then just putting <ref name="foo"/> in the main text, but that would mean a big block of code at the top of every page (or at least every page that is properly sourced) and I'm not sure if it's possible to stop the top of each page looking like a numberline.
