My answer has always been to put <ref>foo, pg. 72</ref> in the text of
the article, and the full citation in a separate section at the end. I
think it makes the wikitext much, much easier to read and edit, and is
more intuitive to newbies.

gives "text. [1]". In other words, a space in between the period and
the reference number.
I see. Is that a major concern for you?
Am I alone in finding that more readable? Also, what's up with the
bracketing? I'd expect a reference, if we're trying to make them look
better, to look like the result of <sup><small>1</small></sup>.
Piles
of punctuation are better left to source code, not articles.
