Looking through Cite.i18n.php of the cite extension I stumbled over
these messages:
'cite_references_link_many' => '<li id="$1">↑ $2
$3</li>',
'cite_references_link_many_format' =>
'[[#$1|<sup>$2</sup>]]',
# An item from this set is passed as $3 in the message above
'cite_references_link_many_format_backlink_labels' => 'a b c d e f g h i
j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y z',
Examples:
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Raymond_de/ref shows the "old"
style (with 2.0 2.1 2.2...)
http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benutzer:Raymond/ref2 shows the "new" style
(with a b c...)
Do we really still need/support $2 in
'cite_references_link_many_format'? Can't it be replaced by $3 by default?
'cite_references_link_many_format' =>
'[[#$1|<sup>$3</sup>]]'?
I am unsure about the usage. Or are both variants common?
Raymond.
