:::::Ah, they use "a", "b", "c" etc, see [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eight-thousander#cite_ref-EBJ1_29-0] for a random example I found.

:::: Nate mentioned my recent reply at [[Talk:Fifteenth Doctor]], so yeah, I am in strong support of this and have been for quite a while. [nb 1] (for ''[[wikipedia:nota bene|nota bene]]'') is the default by MediaWiki, but I believe it's pretty easy to change to [note 1] or alphabetically like [a]. Personally I think nb is fine, but note could work too. Alphabetical footnotes are best reserved for specific parts of a page, e.g. a table or list with its own footnotes directly under it. (It wouldn't be hard to make another template like this, I think.) Wikipedia is actually a bit inconsistent on what format they use, I think there is reason to it but I don't quite understand it.
