On the bottom of the scan you can see the second half of a footnote.
That footnote begins at the previous page :

This seems like a very weird way to do things. Why is the book being
split up by page to begin with? For optimal reading, you should put a
lot more than one book-page's worth of content on each web page. It's
hard to say what an appropriate fix is if I don't know why this is
being done to begin with.
Is the idea is that the pages should later be transcluded into one big
page, and they're only temporarily on separate pages for proofreading
purposes? If so, why not just have the extension that displays the
wikitext and Djvu pages side-by-side (ProofreadPage?) display a bunch
of pages at once? You could then put all indivisible content on the
page where it begins, so put the full ref text on the first page. And
likewise you could put a word that's hyphenated across pages on the
page where it begins. If you can see multiple pages at once, this
isn't much harder to proofread, since you can just look down a bit.
